sleepingsquirrel Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 Is this a Mooney and who is it? Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 The cowl doesn't look like a Mooney. Quote
WardHolbrook Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 It almost looks like it could be a Comanche - except for the cowling. The highway markings don't look like what we'd see in the US. I'm guessing it's some European aircraft. Quote
DXB Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 Cowl looks odd, but that tail leading edge sure looks vertical, based on angle between the tail and the fuselage. Do any other planes have this? Quote

Interesting airplane. Video of one flying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykAI2oXztkI Performance on the last variant produced: https://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1958/1958%20-%200671.PDF In case someone wants to pick one up: http://www.avbuyer.com/aircraft-for-sale/saab/91-safir/289479 Given the O-360 A1A, appearance and configuration, it seems to have some general similarity to an M20C, but somewhat slower and with aerobatic capability. The rudder is huge. Quote
DAVIDWH Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 Radar altimeter calibrated in centimeters? Manic depressive off his lithium? Novice actor trying out against Corky Fornoff, for another James Bond movie? I saw the plane pass through the St. Louis arch, but this is a little much. Quote
kerry Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 The Saab has the nose wheel partially out when the gear is retracted. I can not see the nose wheel in the B/W photo. Quote
