Unusual Sighting (What was that?)

Kyle Boatright a écrit :
It very well could have been a Robin. The fuselage looks very Diamond like.
The size and proportions look right too.

Kyle,

Not really sure there are Robin ATLs your side of the Atlantic.
But as you said the aircraft was slow, it may well be an ATL after all ;-)

Best regards,

None listed in the 2 November 2007 FAA Registration Database. Just for S&Gs, I
looked in the July 1997 database; wasn't there, either.

Curiously, though, the type is listed in the FAA Aircraft Reference File (Type
05619IM). It's listed as "not Type Certified," which generally means
Experimental category. I'm not sure how planes end up listed in the ARF, but my
suspicion is that someone has to at least start the paperwork to get an
N-number. It wasn't in the January 2005 ARF, but was in the January 2006
version.

The plane Kyle saw may still be carrying its French or British registration
pending completion of its US registry process.
