Identify the Aircraft

[Stevieboy]

Ah yes - of course - the good old S18A at Kallax near Luleå....remember it well .... and when they added the specially designed camera SKa 13 and the radar altitude indicator PH-10/A that actually made it for me - dont know how I forgot that.

Well I'm enthralled.

[Spitfire]

Don't overdo the IRONY, you might scare off our tame Murkin!

It is indeed a SR-71B , my latest addition to my FSX hangar

Your turn SM

[Saracenman]

blimey - it was an educated guess - vague memory of seeing it before somewhere!

thanks Cluny

right, what's this little beauty then?



sm

[Mackrick]

So its not a jet then

[Saracenman]

how did you work that out?

i BET you're related to SB aren't you!

[Mackrick]

Tricycle undercarriage and not a tail dragger, high wing, so it must be .....

[Saracenman]

no takers on this for a while, so here's a little bit more of the picture...



but what is it?

sm

[Dan4th]

I'm guessing this is a one-of-a-kind aircraft
built for a specific purpose or function....

Am I correct?????? To test-out some system?

Murkin? Or Murkin-based (obviously...)

D.

[Saracenman]

wrong on all counts actually D4th - not a one-of-a-kind, nor for testing anything - and it's not Murkin either!

the engine could be though, but that's about all i think

sm

[Dan4th]

Alright, how many have been built?

Are they intended to carry fare-paying
passengers???????

Dan4th

[Saracenman]

i don't know the exact number built D4th, but they were manufactured for some years. fare-paying pax? well i see no reason why not - i also imagine that some 'passengers' may have been carried that hadn't paid themselves - in fact such pax wouldn't even have pockets to carry the ticket!

sm

[Dan4th]

Crop-sprayer????

D.

[Saracenman]

i can find no record of it being used to spray crops D4th

sm

[Dan4th]

It's Official!

I Give UP!

[Ducati Boy]

Give me answer or give me death!!

[Saracenman]

blimey - where's SB when we need him?

sm

[Mackrick]

Busy going through his A to Z of aircraft

[Saracenman]

well if that's the case then it shouldn't take him too long then!
