The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks for the info Mike.

And now for something completely different...

This one showed up the same year the SS United States made her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. 2-bladed prop powered by a Continental C-85.
 
Hi Kevin :encouragement:
Did not recognize her immediately without make-up
Is this the Russell Northrup/James Williams Special (N33N, race # 48) ?
If correct, could you spare a picture with all the bells etc.?
 
Good Walter! I was just about to reveal and move on.:very_drunk:

Attached the unaltered original. (Was sometimes spelled "Northrop").

Hi Kevin:encouragement:
Thank you very much for the picture of N33N. Sofar I only saw one other picture. I think that Northrup (with U) is the correct name.
Next challenge has a colourful job. She looks very much like the ........, but this one had a fixed gear and less potent engine. Word Experimental below cockpit indicates (I Think) that it is a prototype rather than a homebuilt.

Intended as (aerobatic) trainer for both uniformed and plain clothing pilots. This prototype first flew 2004, has a 200hp Lycoming, comes from a country discovered by "the old world" and this country produces a lot of planes nowadays, but AFAIK this one did not enter production.
 
This colourful bird is the prototype of the G200 Guará (also seen described as T200) by Airtechs Industria Aeronauticas Brasileira LTDA.
Engine was a 200hp Lycoming AEIO-360-A1B6, although production was also planned with a 230hp SMA SR305 diesel engine running on Jet A1.
Have not yet figured out whether the design has any relationship with the Enar T-35 Pillan from Chile as she is also described as original design by
Carlos Gonçalves and Jesus Rodrigues. First flight was in 2004 and it seems that only the prototype was completed.

You are all invited to visit the Open House :jump:
 
Hi Mike :encouragement:
She is from a country which I surely, definitely and absolutely would not like visit. Hot, hostile and lots of violence and not so long ago the country split.
The country is not known for her aircraft industry.
The basic design is, as Chris mentions, from an E. Europeen country which also experienced a lot of violence in the 1990s.
The company (in fact Government owned company) responsible for Chris`offering also produced a small (foreign) helicopter and (also foreign) high wing lighhtplane.
 
That's right. I guess no one looks at small air force thread. Since I posted a picture of it over there the day before this one. Over to you.
