pmccarthy Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 AltaJet. Though maybe the Altania, can’t see whether there is a prop on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I got the photo on Pinterest where it was listed as an Ameur Altajet. I have been unable to locate anything on Google relating to it, but I did find a record of a Baljims (no photo), which included the name Ameur. I guess we'll call this one identified and move on.

Birdseye Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 OK, Allied A-2 "The Allied Aircraft Company was one of the over fifty aircraft companies that have been at Wichita, Kansas, USA, some produced one and others built thousands. Allied was formed in 1946 by a six-man team headed by Harry Ragland, the others were Phillips, Walt Davies, Al Landas, Ron Albertson and Ken Haddock. Designed by Phillips the A-2 featured an all-metal construction with a V-shaped tail, a manually retractable landing gear with a castering nose wheel, and a forward sliding windshield. Powerplant was an 185 hp Continental O-470. Some 35,000 engineering man-hours went into the project before the A-2, registered NX3153K (c/n 21), was flown for the first time by Ragland on April 9, 1948 from Municipal Airport to Wilson Field north-east of downtown Wichita, where about 180 hours of test flights were made. However, a fire destroyed company's workshop, including the production rigs and two A-2s under construction. The following financial difficulties forced the company to close down. The aircraft was sold to a person in Oklahoma, subsequently owner was Walter Baker in Alva. After a number of years in disassembled state, in 1972 the aircraft remains were sold to Thomas 'Tom' Jackson Balentine of Copan, also in Oklahoma. The aircraft was missing the engine, wings, tail and windows, so it took Balentine a considerable number of years to rebuild the aircraft, the new engine was a 210 hp Continental IO-360 SER. Reregistered N312TJ and designated Thomas/Edra Balentine TJ-2 (c/n 2) on October 11, 1984 (Edra was Tom Balentine's wife), the aircraft made its second maiden flight about a year later, receiving a new CofA on January 11, 1986. In October 2012 the aircraft was flown to Wichita, and on April 5, 2013 the aircraft was registered to the Kansas Aviation Museum, under the initial registration N3153K. Subsequently two new aircraft were built by Balentine, under the designation Allied TJ they were registered N504WM (c/n 022) to Balentine's friend William S. Martin and N312TJ (c/n 023) to to himself. Balentine flew the N312TJ on his 86th birthday, September 30, 2014."

red750 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 This particular aircraft is the one registered NX312JT (some photos show it without the X). The photo was taken at Oshkosh 2016. Some references show it with the name Allied TJ-2 Kosh. (Flickr photos, airport-data.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The aircraft appears on airport-data.com with both registrations. I have posted a question on their forums asking about this. One of their moderators or staff will answer that (I've been a member of that site since 2009). Up until 1948, NX registrations indicated Experimental category, but actual registrations since then are simply Nxxxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

440032 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 FAR 45.22 covers the "NX" registration marks. basically, old aircraft, or a replica of an old aircraft, with an experimental certificate, and a few other things thrown in the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekliston Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Found another weird one today, not exactly light though! Given that canard is French for duck, is this thing a lame duck or a dead duck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Piaggio P180 Avanti - at least 220 built according to Wikipedia, currently still in production. First flew in 1986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 LASER Z-2300 or REBEL 2300 Neither of those. I can't find any link between the manufacturer of this aircraft and the makers of the other two. Wikipedia has no page on this aircraft but they do on another model by this manufacturer. There are quite a few photos of this aircraft on different web pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Don't have that either. The plane has a Canadian registration, if that helps, although it was designed in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I must say, Dave, this plane looks remarkably similar to the DR-109. It is the only example listed, so could be a one-off, but the manufacturer has two other aircraft, a highwing STOL with 18 registered, and an aerobatic biplane with 17 registered.

djpacro Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Your hints weren't consistent with the DR-109 either but I thought that I would try to flush it out - certainly looks like it started life as a DR-109. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
