Nerd's Corner - Ice cool aircraft recognition game.
Re: Nerd's Corner - Ice cool aircraft recognition game.
I think the same aircraft based at Old Warden, N123CA Dornier Do-28A-1.
As I resorted to research, your baton again.

Re: Nerd's Corner - Ice cool aircraft recognition game.
Yes its a Do28a, never seen one one close up before and apart from general layout it's quite different to the later Do28D
No rules re: research AFAIK, so go for it OM.

There are a few jets, Meteor, Vampire(s), Hunter, Mig, Harrier, Aermacchi, but we are not really fussy about what we let in the hangar.
Been in data comm since we formed the bits individually with a Morse key.

The Do28 is a noisy bugger. Local bloke bought one and we tried it for skydiving for a bit. Not a great performer and the engine noise is deafening. He eventually tried using it for night freight where it was written off in an accident, possibly due to overloading.
Re: Nerd's Corner - Ice cool aircraft recognition game.
While we wait for either Bob or om to stop politely waving each other forward (such nice guys that play this game) with the marker, I will post an aircraft that cuts its way over the LAM every other day at 16:00 hrs and can be heard coming for miles. If you don't know what it is and can't stand the suspense then please do use whatever means you can (including Google image search) to find out what it is but if you do use the Google Search means then good form says you should fess up and you can elect to not pick up the marker in such cases but that is entirely up to you. Any other means of finding the name of the hot ship posted is perfectly legal within the rules of the game and doesn't require confession, absolution or prayers to his Divine Noodliness!
Now while I search my extensive private aviation photographic library for this aircraft, which I have never flown, my frankly beautiful assistant Samantha will post an example found quickly and easily by Google.

Isn't this what is known as a 'blowjob' in the aviation world?

I knew the aircraft but couldn't think of the name so just put into Giggle rear mounted props and got this. No image search but Giggle used.

Re: Nerd's Corner - Ice cool aircraft recognition game.
Yes, tis the enormously noisy and enjoyably so, Piaggio P.180 Avanti. Definitely not the self effacing pilot's aircraft.

Thank you. Let us go for a painting this time. Shouldn't be too difficult for those into vintage aircraft.

The 2 seaters in that fury-esque series always get mixed up in head, Hind?

Not Hind. I am on line but we have electricians in so Internet keeps going off. Please bear with me.

Actually that's the results of a batch of Beech KA's that were sent to Italy in crates, with no Italian instructions for assembly.
