It looked to me very much like a radial powered Ryan :confused: , playing a Yak trainer I guess :rolleyes: .
Can anyone one else out there who has seen the MASH Ammo Dump, Charly, Frank’s big gun :rolleyes: episode comfirm this please.
Not for any real reason just curious.(is it to much to ask If someone know’s whose plane it was 😮 ).

That’s the one.
Thank’s guy’s 😀 .
I knew it was some sort of Ryan, as I have seen enough Aussie type’s at different airshow’s here over the year’s at Point Cook and Avalon 🙂 .
Not a bad little plane really.
And from the little flock’s I have seen of them put together here in Oz, seem to be quiet popular Downunder 😉 .
And some of the owner’s really made the effort to make them look nice and spiffy 🙂 .
Yes the producer’s got it right, I think the Bell 47 was the really first Helicopter to be of real practical use, and was a real work horse for her day.
I will see what I can find around the net, and drop a few Ryan’s and Bell 47’s here if I can find a few 😉 .here’s just one from the link for a start.
Cheer’s all 😀 , Tally :dev2: Ho! :dev2: Ho! :dev2: Ho! Phil :diablo: .

Yes, PT-22
Yes, it’s a Ryan PT-22, an American primary trainer from WWII.
Civil versions had in-line engines as well and were popular aerobatic planes.
And although you didn’t ask, let’s give a belated “well done” to the producers who have not only the correct helicopter type in the opening credits, but the exact model as well.
They’re Bell 47D-1 (H-13D/E)….although in some episodes later Bell 47s (noticeable by the larger fuel tanks) are seen as is a Bell 47J Ranger (a deluxe model with a 4 seat cabin and covered tailboom).
There, I feel better now. 🙂

Looked like a PT-22 to me. If I was very clever I could post a link to show you what I mean. but I’m not, so I can’t!!!!.
From my limited expertise on the Korean war didn’t the North Koreans use the PO-2 for a similar thing over the front line at night?.

P.S. I’ll have a go any way
If it does’n work try Googeling “Ryan PT-22”
