The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Thanks. Here is a little bug to consider.

Chappedelaine cold jet helicopter from 1946-47

Bug is squashed. Over to Uli.

 

[giruXX]

Sorry for the delay!

Here is my offer:

 

[srgalahad]

A Callair. A-2/3/4
If we have to split hairs I'd go for an A-3 (by throwing darts at a board)

 

[giruXX]

an A-3 it is!

 

[srgalahad]

Thanks Uli!
I'm in meetings all day so have patience.

 

[srgalahad]

A brief break in the 'festivities' so a quick dive into the files and I offer this rather sharp little number.

The octagonal fuselage is a big clue. It's a International F-17.

One should expect your knowledge of octagonal fuselages to be key. After all you posted it's very big brother, the CF-10, some 14 years ago

Have a beer - that's what Buds are for!

Thanks Rob. Onward with a spiffy monoplane.

Not a lot of wood was used in the construction process.

 

[Moses03]

First flown in late 1931. One of two designs from this small firm.

 

[Moses03]

There was a second version with two cockpits and different engine. West coast USA in origin.

West Coast-ish. Spokane is sorta 'inland'

The Brown Metalark II

So is it Metal-lark? or Metal-ark? - hmmm
note: "[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]crashed during landing in a fog." As one can see from the photo, the "Inland Empire" around Spokane can get rather obscured.

I have nothing at the moment, so OH

Here's something newer. Looks like the ladies you see going into Walmart.

I've been flying into Spokane Felts Field(KSFF) for the last 5 years and it can get foggy.

Suds for Rob.

 

[pomme homme]

Gosh, it looks like a Cessna Caravan on steroids!

 

[cthornburg]

It's like a Caravan after too many McDee's

With a paint job after too many Buds...
