JMACK....that one's a Bristol Britannia. Some feel the prettiest four engine prop bird ever.

[quote="Doc"]Hard to ignore the similarities between this and my F27!

For that matter, the ATR and Dash 8.
Gonna say AN-26B or AN-32 I've seen them taxi around with just the APU running "BIG THRUST APU"

Never seen one from this angle before. Could that be a big gun......or are you just happy to see me?

Moe likely an inflight drinking straw?

Another shot of the old Bear....

There used to be one of these in CVG. We would sleep in the thing if we had a long delay...

Re: Identify This Aircraft
The airliner with the rear-mounted jets is the Caravelle by Sud Aviation.
They used deHavilland's jigs from the Comet to build the nose section, haven't seen one look as sleek until the 787...

I like this machine. A very fast airplane for the time with the unique "area ruling" shapes on the trailing edge.

Don't think it's an An-22...

Looks more like an An-26..I think it says An-26B on the nose too.

Re: Identify This Aircraft
Great pics, Doc. We had an Antonov AN-74 come in this afternoon. Very interesting airplane. If I wasn't on my iPad, I would post a picture. If you google it, it's red white and blue in a striking paint scheme.
Re: Identify This Aircraft
I have always liked the CC-106 YUKON. Flew from Trenton to Dusseldorf on this one Dec 1969.

The Jag XKE was, I think, the sexiest car ever built? For airplanes? This has to be in the running....
