CT33. Might have been just a T-bird except for the Canadian patch on the USAF exchange pilot's flight jacket.

North Bay base flight patch? The airplane type was easy enough.

Yes it is a CT-133 Silver Star. The Colonel was my commanding officer. The patch is worn by anyone qualified to fly the T-Bird.

Cheers...Chris

Ahhh how well I remember JCV, when I flew it for Austin Airways a talented little creature performed an act of gross indecency for me in the right hand blister.

I wonder if the Kiwis are aware of that. Or better yet if Jimmy Bell was aware of that.

A little different for me. We'd just put JVC on the buoy at POV and I'd moved to the left rear blister to open it. I threw Patty Orr the rope and a gust of wind unlocked the blister slamming it down on my head knocking me unconscious. Woke up in the arms of a pretty French nurse.

So, did she perform the right blister resuscitation procedure?

Had this project been successful, me wanted one more den me wanted cookie!!!

Unfortunately, it came nowhere near matching drawing board specs but still pretty cool. Imagine pulling up to FBO in that and parking beside ugly old split tail bonanzas and the like. (Ooh, I may have pissed off a few with that last comment

)

At least the tails tend to stay ON those Bonanzas you dislike...

It's a BD-10, the magical airplane that would have been the ultimate homebuilt had they not been so terribly slow. That and when half the fleet crashed because the tails came apart the other half were grounded forever. I've always wondered if the tail problem was similar to the F-18 fin cracking issue that was solved by placing a small fin above the intake...

This may be just me but I was way more interested in guess the aircraft, with lady pilots!!!

Moose47 · Post by **Moose47** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 7:06 pm

Reference the last two photos MiG 29.

Great photo of one of my all time favorite amphibious aircraft, the Short S.A.6 Sealand Mk. 1 in service with the Yugolsavian Air Force.

The aircraft below is a French-built Amiot AAC.1 Toucan which inturn is a really a Junkers Ju-52 3/m

lownslow's post - there's an airplane there?

Certainly no shortage of poor taste. We want this thread to go the way of so many others? Good way to start. You want the odd attractive female? I can buy that.....just lets try a little taste, shall we?

I am guessing the romanian iar99 soim, looks a lot like the mb 326

lownslow · Post by **lownslow** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 11:07 am

I guess the mods didn't like my last picture (sorry) so I'm trying a new one. Still a lady, but with more clothes on this time...

Is it a Cessna AT-17 Crane/T-50 Bobcat ?

Has lownslow's parasol tail-dragger been identified yet?

Old Dog Flying · Post by **Old Dog Flying** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 3:41 pm

It is a Crane MkI...

Nice model! I love BCATP stuff. Here is a bit of a mystery:

Siddley Hawker · Post by **Siddley Hawker** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:56 pm

GAF Nomad?

Lost in Saigon · Post by **Lost in Saigon** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:54 pm

No, the tail is different from a Nomad.....

Here is one that might stump everyone.

imarai · Post by **imarai** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 12:18 am

Not the GAF Nomad, but same era. My mystery aircraft was originally powered by two IO-720 piston engines. A turbine powered version was planned. There was a Canadian connection, like all my challenges, so far...

Lost in Saigon's challenge is the Republic XF-12 Rainbow. Way too many photos,...Just one will do, thanks.

Lost in Saigon:

Isn't that the weird prototype that had a pressurized cockpit but that glazed nose section wasn't?
