Then, I assume, it is my turn to ask a question :)

I am no master at difficult riddles (this crown goes to topol-m), so the question will be simple:

 

 

Name the aircraft

[Namenlos Ein]

It was the easy question.

 

SO 9050 Trident III

 

I want to skip my turn.

Hello to all seers and the ones who possess superior knowledge in aviation technology!

 

this is my first entry here, whereby i'd like to make an educated guess:

 

Is this plane German made? and if so, could this be a GRob?

[Spetz]

Cessna F150K by chance ?

[Lucas_From_Hell]

Not even close :)

[Griffin]

Even if Cessnas aren't even close, I'm gonna guess T-41 Mescalero?

[Lucas_From_Hell]

Of course it is!

 

...Not.

 

Quick tip: it's not a Cessna, don't insist ;)

[Lucas_From_Hell]

So, you guys want another clue or I'll win this one with such a simple riddle?

[DamianJG54K]

Lucas this one it´s really hard hahaha!!!

Looked tons of images but nothing.... yet.

[Lucas_From_Hell]

Alright, some tips.

 

It made its first flight in 1961.

 

And a big one: it has both utility and observation models. What's the difference between them? I won't tell you, of course :D

[Antartis]

L-5 sentinel?

MB.308?

Aeronca chief?

Taylocraft B?

Piper Vagabond?

Luscombe 8?
