A few airplane pics from vacation

[Mark Nankivil]

The Cougar looks to be the one that was up south of Ft. Worth at the Pate Museum of Transportation museum there. The USAF took back a number of the aircraft on display there and dispersed them elsewhere. As for the Navy aircraft, not sure who ownership remained with but glad to see that the Cougar was not scrapped.

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Mark you may be right...I had a feeling I had seen that Cougar before. I think you made a good call on that one. Thanks

LOL... That's a good one. The Viscount is powered by 4 RR Dart turboprops.

The Viscount looks like this - http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1244349/M/

and in the US, they looked like this - http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0128846/M/

Side note- Continental was the only US operator to order the Viscount new, several other operators acquired them second-hand.

N551JC is a DeHavilland DH-104 "Dove" Srs.6BA. Quick N-Number search reveals the following -

Say, what's this propane tank for? Are they trying to gas the gophers????

Looks like one of the water recovery boilerplate practice ones with that extra piece on the upper left.
