Have a look at the 2nd paragraph under "Development" here, about earlier 402 models. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_402 Interesting. The one I showed was a 1979 model. It's confusing because Piper twins like square windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Chao Lao - that photo wasn't taken somewhere near Sri Racha was it?? The rego you posted might lead us to the culprit Don't suppose it had Instant Express Cargo or Siam First Cargo written somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Lao Beach Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) editing the last line above with interesting links, I think it times out. All been replaced by serious hard-ware now, Dash-8 size machines decked out with all the glory. I still think it is hard to go past a B200 for value for money for SAR work. The Cessna 401s, 402s, 402As and some 402Bs built from 1966 to 1971 had four small oval windows, which gave the aircraft a similar appearance to the pressurized Cessna 340. Source Sea Vision was referring to. It could be, I really do not know, except driving past and getting the pics. I think HS-SPA is the clue here.

Chao Lao Beach Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) I can't remember any words or it, except the rego I whited out. Way south of Sri Racha, about 5km inland of Rayong city, on the by-pass road. It was still there a few days ago !!!

SeaVisionBurma Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Agreed about B200's for SAR work - good workhorse that plane.

SeaVisionBurma Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Honestly, I thought my 402 guess was probably, wrong, and I face palmed when you both said it was a 340. I was surprised when I looked up the rego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chao Lao Beach Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) To make maters worse, from what I can tell in Google images, the one I did my initaly training on for the 402 appears to be a C401 with 4 bloody round windows. Doh Yeah, I think the best light twin turbines ever are with equal respect in their classes the Twotter and KingAir. Both blitz their class, (maybe not in operating cost now) Some here may like this, it can be more impressive on skies and floats.

Chao Lao Beach Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) I am not sure which airline this 321 is with. It appears to have General Electric (CFM) donks on it. Hard to tell from this angle Edited May 12, 2013 by Chao Lao Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 A very easy one. That's me taxing out for departure. My favorite plane for cross country. Ok, my favorite that I could afford to fly at the time. Very old photo scanned so quality sucks. Make/Model (no registration lookup guys) Location - Ok, that's a giveaway with the registration but don't expect you to get the specifics as it's at a very small uncontrolled airfield.

Chao Lao Beach Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I am not sure, looks likes a Piper Cherokee Warrior. Prob with a 160hp or 180hp Lycoming. I think they had, PA28 ? I have a faint memory that the common Cherokee did not have tapered wings and this is a good addition for flying school as it help stop sudden wing drops at low speeds. I never liked these, people used to rave on about the Beech Baron as well, but I hated climbing over the wing the the right seat just to get in and out. Didn't Beech-craft make something that looked a bit like this called a debonair or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be difficult to distinguish as the PA28 has a series of aircraft closely resembling each other. In this case it is the Cherokee Archer II PA28-181 (180hp). My main trainer was the PA28-161 Cherokee Warrior II (160HP). The Archer was a nice upgrade for cross country due to the additional HP and ceiling plus full auto pilot.

If you think that Thai politics is a bit nuts, all I can say is that you have seen noting until you get "friendly" with many a "flying mattress" politics. Doesn't matter which company or continent, they seem to all be expert knife throwers !!!! The annual X-mass party is always an interesting event in aviation companies !!!!!!

Chao Lao Beach Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Make & Model ? plane10-tv.jpg Paddington Flyer?? I am not 100% sure it is a Paddington Bear actually, but may be !!! This is an interesting one. I left a clue in the image. referring to the post in # 1030 Manufacture Model Registration Serial number Near as I can tell, VH-OJB was a B747-400 for Qantas (QF26). Possibly out of service now. I was unsure anyone would get my Winnie the Pooh reference so I went with a more British bear. Great Guess, you may want to try again. SeaVisionBurma, although I presume you have not ever been in this cockpit, you are likely going to get the hint. All Heavy drivers are very familiar with these. OJB was not the same Boeing brown, as this cockpit was. Qantas has two or these. The bear is not part of the hint !!!!! But Gezz that bear is very well traveled, a bit like a kidnapped garden gnome Image re-posed from 5 pages back.
