Plane Spotting - The Quiz

[Dancealot]

I am curious....

...Yellow.

Swedish porn film from the 60's?

.

Do you mind taking this outside, please?

Ah well,..... I confess I just spend an hour researching that unmarked cargo-plane, so I am eager for a reply..

Hence..

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.

[SinglePot]

Sand coloured livery.

Middle East?

Sand coloured livery.

Middle East?

Do you want to help me out?....

So, riddler, you correlate UPS livery with stealth. And you quoted "hence".

I am all in.

FedEx A310

[GrantSmith]

Atlas Air wet leasing to MAS Kargo?

[SinglePot]

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!

A330- 200F.

Well educated guesses.

A300-600.

BKK.

White, not desert coloured.

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

[SinglePot]

theblether

1. Grumman Bearcat (tentative). Something not suite right. Earlier Jap machine?

3. F86 Sabre.

2. Fairchild C123 Provider.

4. ???????

Smoochy's cargo carrier

[khaosai]

Here's one for the hardcore aircraft buffs.

Make?

Model?

Company?

I know but I'm not telling....

Cheers.

A300 B4 Maximus Air Cargo

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

[SinglePot]

Maximus operating out of Abu Dhabi.

I knew the desert was involved.

[khaosai]

Aircraft type ?

[SinglePot]

Aircraft type ?

Bloody hell David!

Heavily modified P51 Mustang.

[smoochy]

Not Maximus (they've closed shop).

Think UK....

[David48]

Aircraft type ?

Man, that thing looks old.

Maybe also an Eastern European Airport?

[smoochy]

Also not a B4.

A300-600.

[GrantSmith]

Aircraft type ?

Yeah, that looks like one of those planes fly you types..

Tupolev something something?

[khaosai]

And another.

[khaosai]

One more.

[SinglePot]

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.

[khaosai]

Not Maximus (they've closed shop).

Air Atlanta ?

[SinglePot]

And another.

Is this another Russian plane like the Tupolev suggested by MrSmith.

Or is it a different pile of sh***.

No way SP,

It belongs to this...

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

[SinglePot]

Yep. Dinky Toys and Meccano.

Wonder how long it will take China to produce a reliable wide-bodied passenger plane.

'Never mind the quality, feel the width.'

I'll settle for Airbus and Boeing.

[smoochy]

Anatov.

No idea the model without googling it.

It's been a week, can I disclose the identity of my photo?

BKK.

White hybrid livery.

A306.

European registration.
