The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Best I could do was track down the maker of the blue aerobatic plane which is MX. I did not find any taildragging high wing planes made by MX though.
 
Hi Kevin:encouragement:
I certainly put you on the wrong footing. The low wing aerobatic aircraft is indeed an MX. I thought (as mentioned in he caption on the site I visited) she was an S-300 by Staudacher and L looked no further. How could I have missed this.
Let the the naming and shaming begin. I hope this will not influence my further career too much.
The high wing plane is the unique Staudacher S-1000 (N6195V) built in 1996. Just as a coincidence, the aircraft is right now being offered for sale at the barnstormers.com site.
Of course Staudacher is better known for the aerobatic S-260, S-300, S-600, S-900 etc. and the beautiful wooden boats.

May I suggest that Kevin is next since he noted my blunder. :banghead:
 
Not your fault, Walter, if all aerobatic machines look the same ! :mixed-smiley-010:
The S.1000 seems to be obscure indeed - doesn't appear on his own website, but whilst searching ,came across its floater version, which, as you know, I couldn't resist !

I didn't note any blunders. More like lost in the fog!


Here is a super secret project.

triplanes are rather easy to identify
I suggest to keep this one for a newcomer :wavey: unless you (or Carlo:wink:) decide otherwise
 
It's out there now, Uli - I suspect a few of us are holding off !

I like the wee man at the back holding the tail up - makes a change from a stepladder or beer barrel - now there's a job description for you........
 
hi fabolousfour:encouragement:
A classic from Finland, the HK-2 Valkunainen (OH-HKX) from 1963 by Juhani Heinonen. She may still be active (?)
 
So modern monoplanes are also easy, at least as far Walter is concerned :very_drunk:
Must reconsider my strategy... :engel016:

And of course it is the Heinonen HK-2 :icon29:

Over to you, Walter!
 
Thank you fabulousfour:encouragement:
No photo for the next challenge (would be too easy).
A unique aircraft that carried 5 different designations (plus a military serialnumber). Three because of the companies involved and two Government/semi-Government designations.
She made 28 flights before being lost.
 
European, jet.
Created to test an aerodynamic feature that was used on a larger aircraft which served for several decades (However, no flying examples left)
