These are the threads on the Po-2 on this site. There was a third which only contained a video, but it is locked as "Private video".

The details in this profile were obtained from Wikipedia. There is a Wikipedia page for the engine listed in the profile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shvetsov_M-11

NNo explanation of the kangaroo or red tail with photo.

I'll take your word for it OT, but it was a copy and paste from Wikipedia.

I cannot believe that I had not completed a profile for this aircraft before. I had collected the above photos in2019, but saved them in the completed folder, not the "To Do" folder. I discovered the profile had not been created when I went to add the photo of the formation below in the comments. This photo appeared on Facebook today.

Thanks sfGnome. I didn't notice that, doing it rather late and not concentrating. I did an image search for p-mentor, and it came up with many others. Unfortunately, photos get uploaded mislabeled, and the search is often way off. Image has been replaced.

To keep this new project top secret, the P-59 was fitted with a fake propeller that it wore everywhere but in the air.
One of the test pilots for the P-59 was a man named Jack Woolams. Jack didn't care one bit about this secrecy and made a hobby out of flying his jet as close to other planes as possible. To make these sighting even more special, he would dress up for the occasion.
When men would go to the Air Force psychologist saying that they had seen a “loud, fast propellerless plane piloted by a gorilla in a derby hat, waving a stogie!” the psychologists would tell them, “That is impossible! How can a plane fly without a propeller?”

Wasn’t there an amphibious version?

Here is a screen print of the Wiki page:
As you can see, there are a number of variants, as indicated in the text above the photos.
all-aero.com lists specs for 6, with different wingspan and area for most, so it depends which model you are referring to. The input form for these profiles only has provision for one set of specs.

Sorry guys, I've looked at so many aircraft photos lately, it's a wonder I haven't gone blind - maybe I have. I didn't notice the tail was incorrect. I have replaced it with one of the others. Image search only brings up one other Montana Coyote aircraft - and it has the Photobucket watermark splashed right across it.

Yes. The shot was taken around 1954 in front of the Marshall Airways hangar at Bankstown. From the Ed Coates Collection.

That wasn't mentioned on Wikipedia. The heading photo as taken by me at Tyabb a few years ago.

Not sure what device you are using. If it's a PC/laptop, there should be a menu down the left side. Select Aircraft. This gives you the aircraft as they are added, most recent first. On the right is a list of categories. Click on the category you wish to see. eg. Airliners.
This give you all airliners in alphabetical order.
You could enter the aircraft in the Search box at the top of the Aircraft page, but that will give you each word in every occurance, including comments. eg. Enter Miles Gemini and it will give every occurrence of Miles, and every occurrence of Gemini. Use double quotes "..." and it will drop out individual words. Make sure you do this on the Aircraft page, or it will search the entire site.

Those details came from All-Aero.com. I found the manufacturers website, and they are saying it uses a Rotax 912ULS and quotes a cruise of 152 mph (244 km/h, 132 kn) at 75% power, and stall speed of 43 mph (69 km/h, 37 kn) flaps down. Sorry about that.

As the text states, the Bolkow is a licence built version of the Malmo.

Edited to include photo of P-37 variant.

Reads like Boehm designed Miller. Ha ha. Not my error, copy and paste. Wikipedia strikes again.
