onetrack Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 SP - We'll pay out on that one, as there were so many Breguets. The one in the pic is a Breguet 14 A2, a day bomber. Louis Charles Breguet really was a brilliant aircraft designer, he changed the game completely in WW1 with his metal-based construction, instead of wood. The Breguet biplanes were much more durable than their wood counterparts, were highly regarded, and were built well into the late 1920's. Even the Americans were impressed, such that they ordered 600 Breguets, and equipped 16 of their Squadrons with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Pilot Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Looking at it I knew it sounded something like Breguet and was French, had to look up the name but couldn't find want model. The fin and rudder are distinctive. Not sure if this one has been on before, we're running out of stuff that's not one off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 The yellow one is a Conroy Stolifter, on the US register as a Cessna Conroy 337. A Cessna 337 with the rear engine removed, the front engine replaced with a turboprop, and the rear fuselage extended to double the cargo area. See here. And a fair helping of ugly pills. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 That's right Lyle, the Piper Pilot 100. The webpage shows a cabin with a rear bench seat with belts for two, but these may be for kids. The text says instructor and student with an optional third seat for an observer. But the price!!! US$259,000 for the base model, and US$285,000 for the Pilot 100i, the one equipped for IFR training. A Google conversion puts that at AU$379,281.67 for the basic 2-3 seater!!! You can imagine the comments in the Flyingmag article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Here's one for you. A single engine turbo-prop civilian utility in the same class as the Piper Meridian and Pilatus PC-12. Six prototypes produced, but never entered production. Achieved type certification from FAA and in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 You are right on both counts, but the second was only a partial prototype used for static tests. The plane was a joint production of Aero Vodochody and AIDC of Taiwan, who produced the wings. AIDC decided to discontinue building the wings, shifting their focus from civil to military aircraft, and Aero Vodochody's senior management decided on a similar strategy. Here are the photos I had collected to do a profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
