The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Mike,
I know the country, I know the period, I know the purpose. I know it was not produced in large numbers. Now I wish I remember the name.
I feel sorry (for myself)
 
Hi Mike,
Took me a while because the builder has a very unusual name.:jump:
The Smith Channel Wing. Mr. William M. Smith from Alaska. Circa 1984 and intended for Bush operations. Was in JAWA 1985/1986.
 
Hi Mike,
Could indeed be based on the T-6, but I am not sure.
The name implied it could do a better job than the competition.
PS: Registration is still in the FAA records (as canceled)
 
This is said to be the (an) Atoka Agmore 600 (N9779). As already noticed by several Forum members, it looks very much like a T-6 conversion and I also vote for that.
Producer is listed as Atoka Aircraft Corporation of Atoka, OK and it must have appeared during the 1960s. The registration was canceled 7 October 1969. I assume that the 600 in the designation stands for either the size of the hopper (600USG) or horsepower.

You (especially Forum members living in Atoka, OK) are kindly invited to provide additional data/details of this aircraft.

OPEN HOUSE please :jump:
 
Atoka is not too far from here. Doubt if I could unearth anything though.

In the meantime, hows about a sporty pusher?
 
Air Quest Nova 21 :argentina:

But what are the cockpit and tail unit two behind ????

And immediately behind - one of the Nord/Messerschmitt jobs ?

And the four-blader by the hangar door ? F4U-5 ??

Finally - a bit tougher - the port wing with the bulge ??
 
You know how I just lurv Piper clones - well here's one, but at least it has a big, extravagant tail to distinguish it.

A bit like Jennifer Lopez.
 
It looks French to me so I hammered Aviafrance without any luck. This is where Lefty hints that it is license built in Latvia...
 
Time to move on (I would have done so last night but came up against yet another 'site maintenance' session.)

This one is the Adam RA.15

Here's another of similar vintage - a chunky chappie.
 
Hi Mike,
the Guerchais-Roche T-39/2 ?

PS: Do you have the registration of the RA-15 (your earlier post)?
 
Hi Mike,
thank you for the RA-15 picture.
On the Guerchais-Roche T-39 you are perfectly right. The T-39/2 version had a less "streamlined" engine installation and a Salmson rather than a Mathis.

Sorry for the blurry picture. View attachment 29327It is all I got.
