The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

There is no photo over there anyways.

[lefty]

Suspected as much.

It's a Homer T. Blenkiron Alamo Special. Cockpit specially raised to accommodate Stetsons........

[Moses03]

Right. This stylish number is from Minnesota. It is a Mohawk M2-C Chieftan.

Here is an easier twin of size-

[lefty]

Ahhh, now that's the North American XB-21 after its rhinoplasty.

[Moses03]

Spot on. Lost out to the B-18 Bolo due to cost I believe.

Fire at will (gulp)-

[lefty]

Woops ! Posted then realised I'd left the name on it !

A chunky chap here - but what ?

[Moses03]

Put me down for a Nardi FN.310.

[lefty]

Nardi it is.

[Moses03]

Thanks for the ale Sir. Any takers on this trainer?

[lefty]

My avatar is getting excited about this one..........

[Moses03]

Excited to fly away in a hurry! Want a couple of eggs with that? Hash browns maybe?

I go for the Bacon T-6S also known as the Super T-6.
World famous in the LAX area and I was privileged to see the bird in alive
(when I was young). Developed from (you guess...) by the Erle L.Bacon Corporation, flown 1957 and registered N66J. Wonder what happened to this aircraft.

[Moses03]

wout! Correct on the Bacon. Not sure what became of it.

[lefty]

I love pigs, but I am addicted to bacon. Smoked, maple-cured, Ayrshire, Wiltshire, free-range Gloucester Old Spot.......

Well done, Wout.

A thread over at WIX said the Bacon was languishing on the ramp at Whiteman Airpark, Los Angeles. Last seen in a faux Soviet cammo scheme, I located it on Google Earth. Date of photo is 2004. The satellite imagery is from Oct 2007.
