Hi Wout,
I think it is an Argie, the Cicaré CH-3 Colibri.

And if so, open house please.

**wout** · April 20th, 2013, 08:03

Hi Dan You nailed it!. The Cigaré CH-3 Colibrie (also seen designation C.K.1 for this prototype) from Argentina.First flown September 1976. Registration LV-X62, 200hp modified Chrysler V8 engine.As requested OH please Sorry icons donot work for me at the moment. Picture me with two thumbs up!

Okay, time to throw more logs on the fire. Here is a sizeable biplane...

***Moses03*** · April 23rd, 2013, 09:33

This one saw action as a heavy bomber in WWI. Five were built of this particular variant.

**lefty** · April 24th, 2013, 00:09

It's an AEG GIVk, methinks. Took me a while before spotting the Balkenkreuz....... Prior to that, and your second post, I was looking for obscure variants of the Martin GMB.....

***Moses03*** · April 24th, 2013, 03:36

Gosh, I didn't even see the cross on the top wing! Would have removed that.

to Mike on the captured AEG.

***srgalahad*** · April 25th, 2013, 06:43

I have to

as well...
When I first saw the pic I knew it was familiar - my attention was drawn to the wings (and the crosses

) but I didn't have the time to really dig.

Wish we had a "facepalm" smilie as I know know why it seemed so familiar - about 4 years ago I stood beside, walked around and photographed an AEG G.IV There are differences as it was one of the single-fin variants but that wing planform is the key

I must apologise for the delay - lost my connection yesterday afternoon - it mysteriously reappeared today. The wonders of the internet.

Here is an unlikely military machine..

***Moses03*** · April 26th, 2013, 09:08

Hmm, something tequila powered methinks...

**lefty** · April 26th, 2013, 09:30

Indeed sir. But what ??

***Moses03*** · April 26th, 2013, 09:46

I'm getting close with some Vought exports but the struts are wrong. Maybe something license built by TNCA. Still looking...

**dan_pub** · April 26th, 2013, 12:46

Mexican Barrera EPA Ares ?

**DHC2Pilot** · April 26th, 2013, 15:21

Pics of the Ares I have show significant forward stagger on the wings and a much different tail

**lefty** · April 26th, 2013, 15:24

This one's from the US Mid-West.

***Moses03*** · April 27th, 2013, 09:26

You got me. All my leads end up on the East coast or West coast!

**lefty** · April 27th, 2013, 22:38

'O-O-O-Ok-lahoma where the wind comes.......' etc etc

It's a Spartan C-3-120

OK please - sorry OH...:mixedsmi:

***Moses03*** · April 29th, 2013, 06:49

Spartan...argh!

Here is a nice easy Monday morning mystery...

**DHC2Pilot** · April 29th, 2013, 15:27

I think they're going to need a taller hangar.

**wout** · April 30th, 2013, 01:34

Hi Kevin :salute:
Very nice picture!. The Aérocentre (SNCAC) NC-211 Cormoran (first prototype?)

***Moses03*** · April 30th, 2013, 03:47

You got it Walter.

Fire away-

**wout** · April 30th, 2013, 04:38

Thanks Kevin
This helicopter cabriolet should not cause too many headaches.

**Baragouin** · April 30th, 2013, 06:01

Good afternoon gentlemen!
I'm no good at choppers.....however my PC is working again after a malignant virus crept into it and now I only have to get acquainted with the new system (Windows 7) just installed.
Cheers
