Can anyone recognize this?

[scubakobe]

Ok, does anyone recognize what type of airplane this is,
or the N-registration number on it?


I have tried 23 different variations of what I thought the N-number could be, but they always turned out to be registered to a single engine aircraft.
What do you guys think?

Looks like a twin engine don't it?

Looks like a Beech Baron 58 to me. I can't see the number clearly

[scubakobe]

Wow, you are absolutely right. I should have guessed that.
Thanks much!

I respectfully disagree Tom. It looks to me to be a an early Cessna 310 with the straight tail and tip tanks.

Yes it does. The tip tanks looked like a 310 to me but the tail fooled me.

Well, this third photo may help you decide (Yah I took 3 photos)


Looks to me like a cessna 310, with that long gear extending in the front, and how the paint stripe stops half way down the rudder, just like the picture railrunner posted.

If you can read the N number you might find it here.

Re my previous post on the N number obviously you knew this a;ready from your original post. Guess I didn't read the original adequately. Sorry about the unnecessary suggestion.

Hehehe, that's ok. I have found that someone owns a 310 at the airport nearest to me, by using the make/model feature. Also, I am taking these pictures so that when I am up in the air with them sometime (Which is pretty soon) I can tell them that I seen them before. It's also something to pass time during the 6 months before I can take flying lessons. I might be in a real plane by the time FS X comes out. ;D
I have a picture of a plane that passed over a couple days ago, and I think everyone here will have a fun time trying to find out what it is. It looks like a Golden Age airplane to me, you take a look:





The only possible guess I have is that the airplane has some thing to do with the 2 letters "VF".

It's a T-6 Texan. Marine Corp by the looks of the side shot. Pretty common warbird flying

[jimslost]

Your 310 might not be in the registry because it was written off in an accident and the number reassigned. Sometimes that info is contained in the FAA files and sometimes it isn't.

The VF on the Texan would be the tail code for the particular squadron the plane is painted to represent. The 32 would be the Modex number.

For those that don't know the modex is a number the Navy/Marine Corps gives an aircraft.

So the command can have their aircraft numbered from 1 to 10, instead of a mix of numbers. The boat guys have a set of numbers designated for the type aircraft IE the fighters are 100 & 200 series.

In the P-3 world now since we change aircraft between squadrons faster than most change underwear, our modexes are the last three numbers of the BUNO so as not to have to repaint the numbers everytime the plane changes squadrons.

Say VQ-1 their tail code is PR, they have the mission birds(EP-3E's) in the 30 series, and their logistics/bounce birds using the 50 series. So just by seeing PR-32, you know its an EP-3E, and not one of their bounce birds.

Probably a little more info than nessisary but sitting a phone watch here in the Philippines, and I'm bored
