Unidentified Aircraft. < on 10/6/2004 8:41 PM > | Reply with Quote
I'm trying to figure out what kind of plane this is, I haven't been able to take a picture yet, but I keep seeing it flying over campus.
It's a 4-engine prop cargo plane with a huge bulbous nose, like the front of a 747 stuck on the fuselage of a DC-4. It looks like a giant flying sperm. It's painted white with commercial numbers, no company name that I can look up. I'm wondering if it's a production model of some kind of custom job.

That would be something that would be a lot of fun to restore and because it doesn't have to meet the rigorous structural strength of a normal aircraft, it would probably be somewhat reasonable to restore. It probably wouldn't be very useful, but it would be a lot of fun to push high velocities over water.

There is an airplane at the Oshawa airport. It's this huge colourful (blue, yellow and red if I remember) taildragger. I saw it a while back, and I can't figure out what it is. I think it had 1 or 3 engines. It's at the far right side of the airport, by a hanger, and you can see it from Thornton (?) Road.

If you like unusual planes, someone at Buttonville Airport has an Antonov AN-2. I only spotted it yesterday, but I'll post a pic or two of it if I get the chance. In the mean time, here's a pic from the web:

1000 HP is not that powerful for a radial engine. I believe the most powerful radials ever put in active service were in the neighbourhood of 3800-4000HP. I know that the later versions of the Wright cyclone series were peak rated at 3700HP.
That is a lot of power.

i agree with you there, i was just stating that radials produce a lot of power i was just to lazy to type out what you just did.

ive seen a very small odd plane around here before, its open air, almost like a motorcycle w/ wings on top, and its and OD green like planes in WWII and says "experimental" on the side and this plane sounds just like a weed eater when it flies.

Looks like a ground effect aircraft.
No markings such as number and such on it?
