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"

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.

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.

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....
