Man, I can't keep up with you guys. I need to switch time zones!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Don't feel bad Andy, I'm running outta photos.

 

[Geedee]

Like Aaron, I'm slowly running out of planes, methinks I'm gonna have to get more tricky !!

Have a go at this one chaps, should be quite easy...

 

[Airframes]

That's a canard one !

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I thought it was one canard Terry.

 

[Geedee]

That's a canard one !

What !!!!!...you mean you chaps Canard'ly tell what it is ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Is it a Burt Rutan/Scaled Composites design?

 

[Airframes]

Hmm - thought maybe Rutan Vari-Eze, but the fuselage shape looks wrong.

 

[Crimea_River]

Piaggio P180?

 

[Geedee]

Sorry chaps, its not Burt Rutan design or a Piaggio

 

[Crimea_River]

Actually looking at it again, I'm not sure it's a canard. Curve is on the bottom like a tailplane????

[Geedee]

its pointing right to left...

Its not a jet....

Its a common American airframe.....

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Civil or Military?

 

[T Bolt]

I'll say Cessna 172

 

[Airframes]

I thought Cessna just by the design of the colour scheme, but was thinking the '02', push-pull thingy. I can't figure that vent, or the fuselage shape, for a tail plane though, or such a feature on the twin-boom Cessna. Got me stumped!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

If I'm not mistaken the elevator(?) is on the far side of the tailplane, away from the camera, which means there is a lot of plane hung out behind the tailplanes but I may be wrong.

 

[Crimea_River]

Yup, I'm stymied, but I know I will choke when it's revealed. Good one Gary.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You and me both Andy, just picture me kicking myself.
