All new guess the aircraft :)

Damn, that one was far too easy – I can see that I need to be more cunning if I’m to confuse people here!

Skymonster – Is that a turboprop Dakota?

Why did they opt for overwing mounted engines and not rear mounted engines? Not the best view out the window for those few passengers sitting there.

Engines over the wings made it quiet (by the standards of the day) – the noise from the engines was reflected upwards by the wings rather than downwards to people on the ground. Also, the gear could be shorter than for an a/c with underwing engines. However, it wasn’t very efficient and the overwing engines made maintenance access more difficult than with underwing or rear mounted engines. It was, however, the first real RJ – an idea way ahead of its time.

OK, I’m an evil b*****d, so anyone want to take a guess at this one…?

LOL… I knew as soon as I saw it that it was a VFW-614 and thought “Air Alsace” – but where’s the logo on the tail??? A quick check on airliners.net revealed the truth! 😀

and he even go the reg right!! your good!

Aha, the 70’s regional jet. Are these still airworthy?

OMG! I couldn’t have been furthur away if I tried! 😀

Well done Skymonster

VFW-614 D-ASAX

BY is on to something there 😉

Mmmm , I don;t think its a 747 – look at this picture and the the trailing edge of the horizontal stabiliser is not as far back and is set more inboard than the puzzle picture.

Looks a bit like a shuttle tail to me. But then it also looks like a 747 tail too.

Is hat a shadow?!! It looks very strange, looks like the shadow runs on and extands tha tail?!

You got me on this one! I have no clue for which airline this 747 is.

Kalitta 747F???? :confused:
