What was that airplane?

Remember, I said the engines were mounted
on pylons. They were not mounted on the rear of the wing. They were
hung out off the rear fuselage and the wing was clean and not swept
back.


Sounds like a Russian made new to the market amphibian.

Low wing like the lake bucanneer, twin gas engines, pylon mounted.

Was it blue and white.

Is so it was probably the one at sun and fun the past few years.

I saw a couple of shots of it in the aviation binaries group.

I will ask the original photographer to identify themselves and see if
I can't find it for you.

Give it a couple of hours.

Thanks Paul...... That's the one.

Are you the photographer, cause I just asked in the binaries aviation
group if the photographer (or someone else) could post a few shots.

Yes, those are my Oshkosh 2003 pictures on that gallery. I borrowed a
Kodak DCSPro14N 14 megapixel camera from work for that trip. Nice camera.

Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

That's definately the configuration of the airplane I saw. Didn't see
the blue paint but like I said, it was moving fast and somewhat
blocked by the trees.

There was another one of these at Oshkosh that was plain white (or maybe
bare metal, I don't remember and I never got a good picture of it). The
guy showing it was trying to become a full-time importer of these
aircraft.

The importer of those is based at Sky Manor airport very near to me. There
is a good diner on the field, and the last time I stopped in there for a
$100 burger two of them were parked there. Interesting plane, but I gather
the useful load is a bit low. Looks like it's built like a tank, though.

I saw a couple of those at Sky Manor last month. They have a used one
for sale there and I went to look at the sale sign in the
window...$650,000. Wife said no.

I saw two of those at Sky Manor last summer, so there are definitely some in this
