Matt Smith, it's really the combining transmission which is connected to the driveshaft between the forward and aft transmissions, that controls the synchronization of the rotor system. You can see the air intake on the rear pylon just above the number 1 engine intake cover.

She's a good-looking bird! We had one when I was growing up. Older, I think a '54 or thereabouts, it had the distinct smaller back window too.

The Tri-Pacer was the first airplane I ever flew in, at Northfield Airport in Richmond, Va., Ray Tyson was the pilot. Flew as a Cub Scout, his wife was the den mother. About 1957 or 1958.

FlightAware's picture identification screwed up again!
It's a TBM 900, you can tell by the five blade prop, winglets and inner gear doors.

This is an Airbus A320neo (A20N). Nice pic anyway.

To add to previous comment: flares range from $35 to $3,000.

Looks great but consider the manpower time and money for some bragging rights. Just like I'm concerned about the flare releases during demo/air show flights. Kind of costly. Look up the costs of the flares. Jim, ol' retired C-130 pilot.

I remember when I worked at the Bozeman airport, we didn't get paid to stand around and take pictures of aircraft. We actually had to work.

...and in particular, under each model number check out the:
Click-N-Go Here to read more on the disposition of the CH-47(letter).
When I poked around, the airframe numbers don't match the format you show, but maybe you can figure it out.
There's a good chance it's been remanufactured into a newer model.
The flag on the fuselage appears to be that of Kazakhstan, which would make sense for a Russian-built airplane.

Hi Joe, it is a "B" model as listed in my description. As far as I know, Flight Aware and ICAO don't offer a category for each model.
Written on 04/18/2025 by Ed Jones
I found SU95 in the ICAO database as the type designator for the Sukhoi "Superjet 100-95".
Written on 04/18/2025 by Samuel Bixler
Colin is correct. He's not disputing that the aircraft is a Cessna A185F, which is what the FAA registration database calls it. But that's not the ICAO identifier, which is a 2-, 3-, or 4-character code that identifies the aircraft family for databases all over the world, including FA.
Written on 04/18/2025 by Samuel Bixler
A185 is the Cessna model, not the type designator. See https://www.icao.int/publications/DOC8643/Pages/Search.aspx
just retired from Boeing Flight Test at Mesa AZ - Philadelphia sent us their CH47 block IIs for Flight test.
Written on 04/18/2025 by Matt Smith
drive shaft between the two transmissions (fore and Aft) keeps the rotors egg-beater-ing properly. it's in the "crown" on the dorsal surface.
"rack" on the side I think was HF antenna.
saw the same pair (not tails, .. just aircraft) at Wichita Open House in 2006. Now think about the SOUND: Merlin and the Whistling Death ...

STEPHEN FURTAK Actually, N619TA calls Reno home. Tactical Air is one of a growing number of firms that contract out military air training services to the US Military (air-to-air combat training in this case). They use repurposed airframes from Western military services, as well as former Eastern-bloc aircraft.
Written on 04/18/2025 by George Jenista
You can check the Wikipedia entry. A185 is correct for the later models.
Written on 04/18/2025 by Ian Hollingsworth
Very much doubt if this infact an "N" registered aircraft.
Written on 04/18/2025 by Stuart Lyon
STEPHEN FURTAK The rotors are connected by a shaft running along the dorsal fuselage (either that or the crews have become VERY adept at starting the engines precisely on time...smile).

I never comment but Colin is not correct. The designator is, in fact, A185. I know this because I receiver my ASES in an A185 in 2020.

According to FAA the N95100 serial number is for a Taylorcraft BC-12-D... and this is a Sukhoi SSJ-100 Superjet 100 (RRJ-95). Don't mix ! (see Dave comment).
