Doc wrote:Okay, I know there's a girl in the pic. Hopefully the mods will not find it offensive. We're having a wee debate on another web site as to WTF this thing is??? It's NOT a DC3, C46 or Convair. Windows are all wrong. I can see only one throttle in the middle? It's obviously a twin. My bet is something Soviet Bloc. Get past the "pilot" and tell me what you think the plane is? Okay?

Looks an awful lot like a DAK, but the windows are all wrong?
Kind of looks like an angry young boy....... Just say'n

Hard to ignore the similarities between this and my F27!

For that matter, the ATR and Dash 8.



How would you like to haul the pop and chips in this puppy?

The airliner with the rear-mounted jets is the Caravelle by Sud Aviation.
They used deHavilland's jigs from the Comet to build the nose section, haven't seen one look as sleek until the 787...

I like this machine. A very fast airplane for the time with the unique "area ruling" shapes on the trailing edge.

Don't think it's an An-22...

Looks more like an An-26..I think it says An-26B on the nose too.
