Jerry_Atrick Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Gawwwd, Peter... When are you going to post a PA28 Warrior?
red750 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Sorry Jerry, that's not the name of the game. Anyway, the little plane above is a Sauper/Aero Synergie J300 Joker. See more here. A few more images of the J300 Joker (See Google Images). Have a go at this one Jerry. For those who know, and there will be a few, give him 24 hours due to the time difference.

Student Pilot Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 This one on the register? Used to see it all the time at Bankstown
Jerry_Atrick Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 I am showing my shallow knowledge of aircraft types.. I would have thought a Cessna of some sort - But the cowl, spinner and fin don't look right... Early C150?
red750 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 No need for that Jerry. Only a handful of people on this site have much success picking these aircraft. I guess it's a case of 'You know it or you don't'. I'm in the lucky position of doing the research - I probably wouldn't know any of them myself. I try to make it hard, thats why I go to the trouble of removing any identification. Occasionally I screw up.
onetrack Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 It looks better now, re-engined with the flat four, than it did in it's original form in 1954, with a Gypsy Major engine. I never knew this all-Australian built aircraft even existed. https://www.gettyimages.ae/detail/news-photo/the-fawcett-120-october-13-1954-news-photo/1081596588
red750 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Yes Onetrack. The Fawcett 120 was built at Bankstown and first flown in November 1954. Only one was built, and it is still on the Australian Register, and although it has kept the same registration VH-BQC since the beginning, the register shows registration commencement as 23/07/1990. In 1979 the original Gypsy Major engine was replaced with a Lycoming O-360 with a more contemporary cowling. More details can be found here. So don't feel too bad Jerry. Next photo to be posted shortly, I'm having a bit of trouble with my laptop and external hard drive.
red750 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Sorry StudentPilot, I didn't see your post as the thread opened on this page.
red750 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 I've had a few problems with the site since we switched back to this software. Now it won't let me add images or edit a post. Have lodged a report in the Site Problems thread. You will have to wait till this is sorted before I can add the next puzzle. 1
red750 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Looks like I'm back - at leasr for now. Name this one. Edited February 2, 2020 by red750
440032 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 1929 Waco by looking at the color (of the N number on the tail...)
onetrack Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 A straight-wing 1928 Waco ASO, also first called, the 10-W. It was renamed post-1928. A popular alternative name was the 220-T, probably because it was powered by the Wright J-5, rated at 220HP.
red750 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 You are correct onetrack, a 1928. I didn't notice the tail number, I grabbed the image off the web in a hurry, didn't enlarge it from the thumbnail, and thought the tail number was obscured. The original image I had was labelled 1928 Waco ASO, but was in fact something different. So I quickly grabbed a real photo of the Waco and dropped it in. This one is a bit different.
red750 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Can' find any reference, KGW, - can you expand a bit?
red750 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 That should read "Can't find....". Fed up with this problem with my laptop that won't let me edit. Men's Shed computer is the same.
onetrack Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Sport Hornet from Higher Class Aviation. Intially produced as the Hornet by US Light Aircraft Corporation, the production was then taken over by Higher Class Aviation. HCA went out of business around 2008, after getting into serious financial difficulties. There was some further limited production effort between 2008 and 2011 by another entity, Oklahoma Light Aircraft, but this effort appears to have been a last-gasp, last-ditch effort. Not to be confused with the Australian Hornet STOL - nor the FA-18 Hornet from McDonnell-Douglas. Edited February 7, 2020 by onetrack
red750 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Yes. Well, very close. This is the higher powered Super Hornet variant, but the airframe is the same. Damnation - this confounded bug in the system/my login/my laptop won't let me post the next image. I've cleared the cache/cookies twice but that hasn't fixed it. I have the same problem on one of the computers at the Men's Shed, but not the other one. Have to wait till I am back there next Thursday. Doesn't happen on What's Up or any other site. 1
