Guess that Plane! Resurrection!

[Zardoz]

I'm pretty sure it's on the first link of when you type in 'Flying Boats' into google....

Well, I feel pretty stupid. I never used the plural. I never tried that particular search!

Okay. Name that plane. Which one is it?

 

[Nick_Johnston28]

Short Sandringham?

 

[Zardoz]

Short Sandringham?

No!

 

[jammyozzy]

Ahah! Vought Sikorsky VS-44?

There you go!

I flew on it twice when Avalon Air Transport had it. Great plane.

Your turn!

 

[jammyozzy]

Hehe, I think I recognise it now. TBH I accidentally found it, but heh.

Mmkay, hopefully an easier one:

I think to say that this plane had 'interesting' flight characteristics is an understatement.

It looks like a military version of the GeeBee racer...

No. If it helps, that's a Russian star on the side, not a US one.

Looks like a Polikarpov I-16, what flight characteristics that plane has is beyond me.

Yes, your go. 👍

 

[Flame-returns]

My uncle has one, obscure but reliable and good value for money.

 

[Sharky.]

Some sort of Cessna?

I dunno.

 

[High-Test]

I want to say it's a Mooney..

 

[Omnis]

A Winged Dodo.


Shoot me.

 

[Zardoz]

...obscure but reliable and good value for money.

Maule MX-7-180AC

A Winged Dodo.

I am not sure if it is the shadows or what, but that sure has a strange section where the tail joins the fuselage...

Its just the shadows:

I have to admit guilt in using Google here, but the name is on the wing

Its a Maule, either a M5 or M6 👍

[Mike Rotch]

Go again 👍

 

[Zardoz]

Go again 👍

Okay:

 

[Flame-returns]

Maule MX-7-180AC

I spot abuse of google, it is actually an M-7-260 but I will give you the point since most maule planes look the same.

As for your mostrosity I have absolutly no idea.

 

[DQuaN]

The nose makes me think Supermarine something.

 

[Mike Rotch]

I am guessing something Russian.

 

[jammyozzy]

Ah, I recognise it now! It's an old MiG, like a MiG 1 or 2. 💡

Excellent! Since Flame gave me the point for the Maule, you have to get this one since you're so very close. It's a MiG-3.

You're up!

This may be very easy or very hard, i'm not really sure.
