Smoochy

I think this is a common UPS cargo airbus . Judging by the angle the 2nd picture was taken, the entire brown coloured part in the back of the fuselage was hidden.

Well played. Indeed an airbus of a similar vintage to the UPS photo. Which model?

Unfortunately, it is not UPS though it is in a stealthy livery.

Second hint.

Operator is currently operating in Asia but this aircraft is leased. (hence the half-assed livery)

Cheers.

So, riddler, you correlate UPS livery with stealth. And you quoted "hence".
I am all in.

I hope you're right Mr Smith.

I'm on tenterhooks here.

All I can picture at the moment is Tom Hanks, FedEx and a football that became his friend.

Hang in there SinglePot...

Don't do anything rash like long walks off short Pattaya hotel balconies!

It's not worth it!

Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalding!

While you guys are guessing the cargo plane, I'm sitting under the flight path for Swampy.

In Winter, the prevailing wind is from the north and they approach the airport over this Farm ... hence how this Thread came into existence.

In Summer, however, the wind direction has been constantly from the south, meaning I no longer have constant access to the planes at a good altitude.

HOWEVER ...

Last week, the wind did change for a brief time, it blew from the North, the planes came over and have 10 new ones to spot ... planes I've not presented before.

I've really enjoyed the new planes (from you guys) ... stuff I never get to see.

When it gets a bit quieter on the thread, I'll present what I captured on a few hours last Sunday morning.

BTW ... I'm sure we don't have all the answers to theblether's planes just yet? Post #1814

One more.

Looks like some sort of electromagnetic braking system. Nothing like the drums or the dics on my motor cars though.

Don't usually get this view from business or first.

No way SP,

It belongs to this...

I swear it's what Dolph Lundgren was looking for in "Masters of the Universe"
