I bet the designers had to come up with a new name after they discovered that the 'Mosquito' was taken! :dizzy::banghead:
It was listed as a 1942 Boeing A75N1-450 but I guess a 'Super Stearman' covers it too. :icon_lol:
I'm assuming it was taken in 2012 when she was restored to the current condition based on the...
The type was originally built for the US Army before being diverted to the US Navy. Lots of them found their way into civilian hands after WWII where they were often used as crop dusters. The...
Cheers Moses, I think that's only the second mystery aircraft I've identified correctly in all the years I've been following this thread!
See what you guys can make of this beauty, but I don't...
Hmmm....looks like an AN-2 based flying wing of some sort. :dizzy:
EDIT: Aha! It is an AN-2E, originally conceived as an Ekranoplan apparently.

I see both pics and saw BG's first pic when you said you couldn't Lefty. I'm on Firefox too.

There is also an...

Boy that bears a striking resemblance to a T-28 Trojan but knowing you lot I bet it isn't. :icon_lol:
So it failed as a car and failed as an aircraft too. Better off as beer cans maybe (although they'd probably leak!) :icon_lol:
Thanks for the info Moses but I am going to have to declare OH as I don't have anything to offer at the moment.
That's a Ryan Navion that has had extensive modifications to become a flying test bed of some sort. I've done a lot of research on Navion's as I am currently modelling one for FSX but I have never...
My first post in this thread despite reading it every day, but that looks very Piper-ish to me. The nose and engine nacelles look very similar to the Twin Comanche but the cabin and tail don't look...
