Identify This Aircraft

[Doc]

Okay, I know there's a girl in the pic. Hopefully the mods will not find it offensive. We're having a wee debate on another web site as to WTF this thing is??? It's NOT a DC3, C46 or Convair. Windows are all wrong. I can see only one throttle in the middle? It's obviously a twin. My bet is something Soviet Bloc. Get past the "pilot" and tell me what you think the plane is? Okay?



Looks an awful lot like a DAK, but the windows are all wrong?

After a little research, the photos (there are many, guys must have had an absolute HOOT!) were taken in Vyskov, which is in the Czech Republic. So, chances are good, even Cat has never flown one?

A link to a pretty interesting photo site.

And, to the museum.

Found it! Anybody else?

Illushin IL-14

[cdnpilot77]

I think its an Avia 14 as it is in Czech

Tomato/potato, LOL! You are correct though. It's likely the licence built version of the Illyushin design.

[Doc]

The next one will be much tougher...

[cdnpilot77]

So nerd #2 wins??? What's the prize?

[Doc]

Here it is. In the flesh. Without the distracting "Captain"....



They look a little like the Convair 240/440 series. Or the Martin 404?

"Um, er, ah, Toronto ground, we're a little confused here.....was that a left or right turn on Delta to Hotel......um...?"

This is one of the many flavours of the Sukhoi Flanker...I'd say either SU-27 or Su-35.

LOVE that piston twin - what a gorgeous shape. Whomever designed that was an artist. Thanks Doc!

who care's ... thank you to the model, for climbing into an old dirty airplane, dressed like that, so we could find one more reason to look at old dirty airplanes.

To the person who posted this for all to see, thank you for your efforts.

[Doc]

Interesting angle. May not be a gift?

[linecrew]

Britannia?

[Doc]

Everybody will know this one. I flew one for about three years. Loved it.

[Doc]

This one will be a little tougher. Never flown one. Have you?

[MIQ]

Only as a passenger but truly a beautiful aircraft!

[Doc]

Still one of my very favourite vids.

You like the Russian heavy metal, eh?

[Cat Driver]

even Cat has never flown one?

Doc, I have lots of stick time in one of those models in that picture.

Kind of looks like an angry young boy....... Just say'n

Convair 990, the fastest, and noisiest passenger jet ever made !

[Doc]

Hard to ignore the similarities between this and my F27!



For that matter, the ATR and Dash 8.



How would you like to haul the pop and chips in this puppy?

[Doc]

BPF, nope not a 990. Not made in France.
