• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Okay, lets move this along. It is a stinker for sure!

This one is the French Gerin Varivol from 1936.

My first thought : ' That looks like a Cessna Birddog with a turboprop conversion." And it is! It's a SIAI-Marchetti SM.1019.

:)
 
So is Yann going to post and say it is home on the range? :rolleyes:

I'm thinking we might try the "no mercy" rule for a bit; meaning, if you know the thing then tell us straight away! (I'm guilty as well) :kilroy:

Methinks Lefty was trying to get out of having to dig up an ugly, East European twin-boom floatplane that was designed in France. :whistle:

It's the DeHavilland Canada C-8A Buffalo Augmentor Wing Jet-STOL research aircraft, aka the NASA 716 (N-716NA), nicknamed the "Bisontennial" as it was made in the bicentennial year 1976.
