The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Gentleman this is an easy one. Let's give e.a. a chance. Why would I post a generic 727-100? It's actually me coming out of Santa Cruz Bolivia around 1990. When I was flying for Key Air this aircraft is N29KA. It also relates to the second pix.

Just goggling N29KA would have come up with this https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/tag/n467us/
This is the aircraft "D.B.Cooper" jumped out of. In 1993 the aircraft went to scrap yard I didn't fly it there but would have like to take the DB Cooper switch off the DB Cooper airplane. Saw on line someone had the control wheel from the aircraft.

Very interesting info, Chris :encouragement:

This conventional high winger did not reach that fame (it was scrapped shortly after the first flight)
Had never seen a picture and now even have two since a couple of days!
Will use the (clearer) second one if needed.

Hi fabulousfour, that is her, well done :very_drunk:
Here is a better photo. Note the living room style showroom, but she was not a homebuilt.
First flown 26 January 1946 and scrapped in 1948. See aerofiles.com for details.

Your turn, please

The tail suggests Hopfner/Hirtenberg lineage. But as I can't find one of their biplane designs with a radial engine, I suspect that I'm barking up the wrong tree!

That's the one. After I put it on I checked and had been on the forum before. The picture was no longer available but I figured not this variant with changed turtledeck.
Your turn.

That's OK :icon29:

As additional information for the photo I have: "The Ranger-powered AT-6D appeared again in 1948 under new sponsorship and this time flown by Betty Clark."
