• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

that is correct Mike :salute:
Very little is known on this one. It had an O-320 engine. I never could find out whether it was single or 2-seat.
 
Well Walter, I don't have much equity against these types so I took your bait and ran with it. Stracener SX N2297 it is.
 
Hi Kevin, :salute:
first class detective work ! :icon29:

The photo was taken by a friend during a vacation in the USA. Never was able to find additional info, except that N2297 was lost in an accident (NTSB listing).
So it may remain (sort of) a mystery

Your turn Sir
 
Here is a moody gunship...

Several built in the early 1930's by a smaller company. It did not last long before being replaced.
 
I've seen this brute before, but the old brain isn't telling me where.........:banghead:

Those tail stripes bother me.......Romania ??



(By the way, what's this new nonsense on our ID -'thanked X time in X posts' - who dreamt this one up ?? Anyway it's wrong - I was thanked recently !)
 
Oh dear, my photoshopping has given this aeroplane possible spurious markings. My apologies.

Here is the uncensored version:

As far as the "thanking" bit, I was apparently in the small minority that didn't care for this new forum feature as discussed in the staff forum.:icon31:
 
Think this may have appeared in these forums a while ago, but it is such a bonny wee thing, no apologies for posting again....
 
Pretty confident on the FBA....so much so I can't wait to share our next enigma (heavily and poorly photoshopped). Laughing will result in me withholding any :icon29: being awarded for the correct answer. :mixedsmi:
 
This one, if my identification is correct, is a real headscratcher. A few hints - 1st, she's an American girl. 2nd, it's not in Aerofiles. 3rd, I've been unable to dig up any information on it aside from an entry in the registers from 1936. A redheaded step sibling of a very popular homebuilt from the era. Possibly a one-off.
 
I think the chances of us getting it over here are remote, and if Moses is stumped, I think you've scored a direct hit under the waterline, John.
