Plane Spotting - The Quiz

[cdnvic]

There is. It's days, if not hours away from beginning it's flight test program.

So....did I win?

Yep, and Bombardier just announced Monday as the planned first flight of the CS100.

Garuda, A330, Bali

2 out of 3....

Actually...1 out of 3, but I'll give the last one as it is over Bali, but the destination is not Bali.

Bombardier yes.......

[smoochy]

That's one of Garuda's new CRJ. Can't recall if it's a 900 or 1000 (which may not even be on the market yet).

Going to Lombok?

Just beautiful photography,

It's difficult to take ugly pics of V-Bombers.

Have I made this too hard?

Socata?

Smoochy and single pot are very close and I've been a bit unfair.

It's a pressurised Piper Malibu Meridian

PA-46-500TP Malibu Meridian[edit source | editbeta]

Piper PA-46-500TP Malibu Meridian

In 1997, Piper announced its intention to market a turboprop-powered version of the Malibu, and flew a prototype the following year powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42A of 500 shp (370 kW). Certification was achieved in September 2000 and deliveries began in November that year. Changes made to allow for turboprop power include larger wings and tail surfaces. In 2009, Piper began offering the Meridian with a three screen version of the Garmin G1000 including the Garmin GFC 700 autopilot as a replacement for theAvidyne Entegra system.

The Meridian's base price in 2013 was $2.18 million.^[7]

I believe this is the nicest one in Thailand but the owner of Minor PLC which runs the Pizza Company etc also owns one.

It belongs to a friend of mine. This is HS-TOM parked at Khon Kaen.

Here is the view for the flight crew

[Jay Sata]

So do you know what this is?

[David48]

Humm ...

It's a Helicopter

Most likely photographed in the UK or Ireland.

A Rotorway 152D Exec Maybe?

Nice Photo ... how did you come across it?

I can't get one over on you can I?

Spot on.

It's a Rotorway 90 Exec.The 152 came later.

Nice looking chopper and we flew it for a few years.

Ended up looking like this.

No insurance by the way so £25k down the drain but no one hurt.

Plane Spotting's Back

Yes it's back

Yes it's back

Yes it's back

Yes it's back ...

Had some time recently back under Swampys Flight Path and while

the wind direction was changed since I was last there, I got a few

clear days.

So I strived to get new planes and airlines to Spot.

Plus also focused on some of the smaller airlines and Private Jets.

First one is below.

Not all images are from or at Swampy.

Hondajet HA-420?

[Chao Lao Beach]

Nar, it's 100% not a Honda jet, but it does look very similar I must admit.

Looks like a Hawker 800SP to me or a 800 with tips aftermarket, it could be a XP, I really don't know but it is a 800 family.

No idea on the "airline" though. Just image how hot it gets in the tropics when parked on the ramp being black.

[chiang mai]

If they daubed some black paint on the tail and the logo on the fueselage, the airline could be Thai Airways?

Nar, black paint would blend in to well, white paint would make it look more stupid !!!!

Hondajet HA-420?

Thanks for the guess .. but it's not.

Great spotting and yes ... correct on all accounts ...

The Airline should be easy now ...

[David48]

Agreed.

For a hint, black paint wouldn't trouble it much where it comes home ...

[Chao Lao Beach]

It does appear to be an XP model OY-JJA

Sun Air of Scandinavia

Thanks for the guess .. but it's not.

I was going to say a Honda Click, just to demonstrate my exemplary knowledge of planes, but thought better of it.
