What plane is this? Let's see how good you are..

I've doctored the photo to remove most hints. :wink2:

Anyone know what it is?

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

Dang, I have the answer.
I managed to google some features in the image and drill down to it.

I will not state the answer since I cheated but interesting how powerful google is that you can transform features of an image into a search.

It's a 1948 Kissel.

Looks like a new German military trainer.

Did you do the H3 logo? Was that how you got to it? I didn't remove that because I figured it was some sponsorship.

Ain't far off…

Look at the tail - doesn't it look exactly like a Hercules C130 tail in miniature?

I saw the word "eye"
Search: turboprop composite aircraft eye

scrolled until I saw something with the same country flag on the tail and a similar front end.

Looked at that plane manufacturer, added it to my search and found the plane.


That is some flimsy landing gear.

It sure appears to be, but remember, the shorter a tire is, the more resistant to high speed it is. Remember, the top of a tire is going twice as fast as the axle because the bottom of the tire is going '0'. The acceleration forces on a tire increase with diameter. If you do not have to transfer power to the ground through that tire, or need it for gyroscopic stability, then increasing the size to greater than required to deal with the weight and surface quality, is counter productive in all aspects.

Yessir. Did you cheat?

 

[kkoran]

Yessir. Did you cheat?

I suppose "How good your are" could refer to knowing what the plane is or an individual's Googlefu skills.

I used my skillz to right click the image and select 'Search Google for this image'.

I did that first and decided it was cheating so I didn't respond. Clearly nice photo likely to be from some file on the plane on the internet and not a personal photo that wont be reverse searched easily

 

[Velocity173]

Yessir. Did you cheat?

Well I knew it was a Grob. Having been stationed in Germany I saw a few of their aircraft. In this case I didn't know which Grob. It was a matter of searching "Grob ISR" and it immediately came up.

 

[stratobee]

I will foil your little Google schemes next time..

Here's a pic of me quite a few years ago looking at a…..yes, what?

Let L-200 Morava.

Let L-200 Morava.

 

[Velocity173]

I did a Google search for "stratobee standing in front of an LET L-200 Morava." That's how I knew what type it was.

 

[stratobee]

Well, how do you like these apples?

Ruschmeyer R90-230RG

Someone photoshopped the German markings off of it.

 

[stratobee]

You're good. But have a go at this then...

Can you use the picture in a sentence please.

I have no clue on this one.

Looks kinda like an Aviation Traders (Percival) Prentice.

Ding, ding - we have a winner! Percival Prentice.

The leading edge fillet on the stabilizer and the scoop on the right side of the cowl gave it away.

 

[stratobee]

What's this then?

 

[Velocity173]

It's a NACA vent.

Appears to be a Turbo Commander

Good - but incomplete. This pic will tell you which model.

OK, geniuses - how about this one?

 

[Subsea]

Anybody recognize this classic?
