Identify This Aircraft

My first, hasty guess would be a DC3....mostly because of the square windows & paint scheme...

No idea about the 2nd one.

I have never seen one in the flesh. I want one. This thing is cool!

B36 (38 maybe) I believe

( Verified: 36 the D model with the added Jets)

I just kind of liked this one,

Now you're making me stretch

The first one I think is a Saab (can't remember the designator) which was basically a Trike Gear DC-3 that used the odd ball 1835(?), didn't it have a CofG problem that meant it needed a tail post during loading (?)...then againcould have the wrong airplane altogether.

The Second one it a Dornier, but darned it I can remember it's number.

Yep that's the B-36 at Pima Arizona, just rolled out last year.

Till you stand beside one you can't imagine the scale.

I knew that place looked familiar. Went to Pima with the family last year, maybe year before.

Tom H, wrong on both counts. Not even close.

Ah, a little Spanish flair....a CASA 207 Azor and a CASA CN-235

Now my turn,

Wassit?

(hint, it is the second highest produced aircraft in the world...bonus points if you can name which one is the actual highest)

At number 2 the Polikarpov Po-2 (40,000+). At number 1 The trusty 172 (43,000+)

Here's another.

Hint, it's NOT a DC-3, C-47, C-53, R4D or C-117.

Li-2 Soviet built DC-3

How about this one...note the offset nosewheel.

Trident...
First aircraft to auto land in zero/zero, IIRC.

Doc, there is a B36 in one of the hangars at the USAF museum in Dayton OH. It is amazing in size for its era

linecrew · Post by **linecrew** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 7:50 am

Okay, you guys are pretty good...how about this one!

You ain't seen or heard nuthin' until you've had THREE B-36s in vic formation go over your head at about 500 feet. Detroit River airshow about 1950-51

Funny, I happened to be in PSP looking at those planes on the day you posted this. Sweet pics all around fellers!
