The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Kevin

Thank you very much for the picture of N33N. Sofar I only saw one other picture. I think that Northrup (with U) is the correct name.
Next challenge has a colourful job. She looks very much like the ........, but this one had a fixed gear and less potent engine. Word Experimental below cockpit indicates (I Think) that it is a prototype rather than a homebuilt.

Intended as (aerobatic) trainer for both uniformed and plain clothing pilots. This prototype first flew 2004, has a 200hp Lycoming, comes from a country discovered by "the old world" and this country produces a lot of planes nowadays, but AFAIK this one did not enter production.

***Moses03*** · June 23rd, 2016, 05:02

Something from South Africa?

I was wondering whether this was an oblique reference to the USA!

**lefty** · June 23rd, 2016, 12:11

How about

??

Hi Mike

You landed in the right country! Now only name the plane.

**wout** · June 24th, 2016, 07:56

This colourful bird is the prototype of the G200 Guará (also seen described as T200) by Airtechs Industria Aeronauticas Brasileira LTDA.
Engine was a 200hp Lycoming AEIO-360-A1B6, although production was also planned with a 230hp SMA SR305 diesel engine running on Jet A1.
Have not yet figured out whether the design has any relationship with the Enar T-35 Pillan from Chile as she is also described as original design by
Carlos Gonçalves and Jesus Rodrigues. First flight was in 2004 and it seems that only the prototype was completed.

You are all invited to visit the Open House

**cthornburg** · June 24th, 2016, 10:38

Another new bird.

Chris

**cthornburg** · June 25th, 2016, 09:11

This one is related to an eastern european one. It's not from Europe.

Chris

**lefty** · June 25th, 2016, 10:01

This is Wout country - far too new for me !

**wout** · June 25th, 2016, 12:17

Hi Mike

She is from a country which I surely, definitely and absolutely would not like visit. Hot, hostile and lots of violence and not so long ago the country split.
The country is not known for her aircraft industry.
The basic design is, as Chris mentions, from an E. Europeen country which also experienced a lot of violence in the 1990s.
The company (in fact Government owned company) responsible for Chris`offering also produced a small (foreign) helicopter and (also foreign) high wing lighhtplane.

**dan_pub** · June 25th, 2016, 21:42

with so many hints, thanks Wout: It is the Safat 03 built in North Sudan under licence from ex-Yugoslav UTVA.

**cthornburg** · June 26th, 2016, 01:46

That's right. I guess no one looks at small air force thread. Since I posted a picture of it over there the day before this one. Over to you.

Chris

**dan_pub** · June 26th, 2016, 04:56

Thanks, Chris.

The next offer is:

**lefty** · June 26th, 2016, 23:59

As you know, I'm not good on this modern stuff, but this looks like a Piper Meridien with 'bits' added !

**dan_pub** · June 27th, 2016, 09:21

Not a Piper, not even American.

**sborford** · June 27th, 2016, 09:49

A Pilatus?

**dan_pub** · June 27th, 2016, 11:21

Not a Pilatus, but you are getting much closer.

And I owe an apology to Lefty: there is no Meridien in it, but there are indeed parts of another Piper model in this wot.

**wout** · June 27th, 2016, 14:01

Hi dan_pub

The GM-17 Viper by Technoavia from Russia?
A single-engine conversion (one of my M601 turbines) of the Piper PA-31P Pressurized Navajo

**dan_pub** · June 27th, 2016, 20:59

Indeed it is this common Russia-Switzerland project, called Intracom GM-17 Viper.
Here seen at TechnoAvia in 2003.
Congrats and the floor is yours.

**wout** · June 27th, 2016, 22:31

Thank you dan_pub

I think the Swiss and Russian partners entered in some disagreements so the project was not that succesful. Maybe only some 7 GM-17s were completed.

My new offering is a yellow bird

**wout** · June 28th, 2016, 13:49

Think Igor, Vladimir, Sergey etc.

**lefty** · June 28th, 2016, 20:27

Yes, Walter - I'm sure we'd all twigged the An-2 in the background - trouble was, it didn't help !

However, further digging has uncovered a Small Hedgehog - the Istra Ezhik.

**wout** · June 29th, 2016, 01:12

Hi Mike

That`s her! I threw in the Russian names because I did not want you all to think the background plane was a Y-5!
Why are ag-planes always not so pretty?

Please go ahead and tickle the sawdust
