BAM'n'IVM Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 That prop with the canards looks very unique. It certainly got my attention. Pusher turboprops have a really weird sound, too. That's what made me look up - I usually ignore the civilian stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Do they sell 'em to civilians? Pretty sure the Italian Air Force isn't doing much over north Texas right now...the one I saw was on approach to Love Field. Yes, they do sell them to civilians. There is one based here at Republic Airport (FRG) that I see all the time. Still haven't gotten any good pictures of it yet. And it does have a unique sound, I can always tell when one is nearby.

LoganTLR Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 HI Kingston had its annual community "services" day. The OPP, Kingston Police, NY State Troopers, Kingston Fire Department and DND all had displays. The local flying club was offering flights over the city to raise money for local charities. Here are the two wingy thingies that participated (other than the flying club aircraft): OPP 427 SOAS CH-146 GRIFFON Tom Link to post Share on other sites

ross blackford Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 :D today at Williamtown, 2 Hornets take off and 1 Hawk and 7 Hornets and 2 Hawks landing. Also landing a RAAF Beech Super King Air navigation trainer , a Saab 340 and a Norfolk Air early model 737 (like low bypass engines and noisey and smokey). I originally went up to see if I could get some shots of a Meteor that was rumoured to be flying up from Temora to do a flyover at George Hale's funeral in Queensland on Wednesday. Cheers, Ross.
