red750 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 It's the Venture. Taking a short break if anyone wants to fill in. Been searching and downloading for the Showcase, and run out of suitable photos that will test you.
pmccarthy Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 What aircraft is this? A different perspective. Hint - I took this photo last week.
Thruster88 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Dc9? Flew on the later version Boeing 717 recently, love how the engine is so close to the window
pmccarthy Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Spot on. It’s the ex TAA DC-9 simulator at Moorabbin.
red750 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 OK. Found and de-identified another 20. Here's the first:
red750 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Absolutely correct Peter. This next one is interesting. There are nearly 150 listed on airport-data.com, but no photos.Wikipedia had a page for it, but no photo. Google images only found one photo and this is it.
kasper Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Gee Red ... you’ve de-identified it a bit much when you delete the fuselage altogether ?
GraemeK Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Given you can see the sky through it, it has to be a Skye Trek Sky Seeer, er Skyseeker, MK 111.
spacesailor Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Green & gold !. Has to be Irish. LoL spacesailor
red750 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Go to the head of the class, Graeme. I thought it would take a little longer than that. Expected Nev or someone to ask "Where is the rest of it?", kasper came near enough. Actually, Space, it's Canadian. That's what you call a 'minimum aircraft'. OK, here's the next one.
kasper Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Well it depends who built it but it’s likely to be the rainbow aircraft manufactured Cheetah... a sort of copy/development of the original sky ranger. Rainbow closed and the design went through it’s growth and add weight phase and emerged as a much bigger aircraft. The Cheetah design was re-engineered and approved in the UK as the Medway SLA series and has full CAA BCARS certification. Medway closed down but it’s still available from another manufacturer.
kasper Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Rose Parrakeet identified by unusual fin shape and the lift strut on the upper wing as opposed to inter plane wires.
Mothguy Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Ooh ooh, I know that one!! I finally know one!! Swearingen (now known as the Syberjet) SJ-30. 1
red750 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Congratulations Mothguy! You are correct. Have a crack at this one:-
Student Pilot Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 That's a pretty aircraft. Looks similar to Jessie Anglins Kitten only with a tube 2 spar wing. There have been many derivatives including pups using identical construction, when you think of it nearly all high wing machines are built along Cub lines.
facthunter Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 Why try to improve on perfection? A great thing to muck about in and they can be kept flying virtually forever Nev
red750 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 That pretty little plane is a Sky Raider, By SkyRaiderLlc, formerly Flying K (read the story here). The business appears to no longer exist as the SkyRaiderLlc domain name is for sale. How about a gyro for a change.
