Really?

Hi,

I just published an article on the China Aviation Museum, but in this particular case I think it might be useful to do a 'photo page' as I think this might be helpful to ID the airframes - although my images are not always top quality

What are your thoughts about that?

Regards,

Hi, By the way. Does anybody know what this is? It has faded US roundels and somehow the airplane looks familiar but I have no clue on the type. It was situated on the far North side of the museum in the "dump" aerea. Apparently it was "rebuild" for a movie to look like a American F-84. Think they d...

All, also very well visible via Google Earth on the coordinates Correct, but the XTW-4 obviously has been moved and seems to be without engines now. And as it is now placed next to the preserved Be-6 I guess it is not operational anymore. As a side note: The Be-6s seem to be called "Qingliu" by the...

@ ftab87; sorry for the late reply, but been on holiday. But thx for the update nevertheless!!!

And the last one; Be-6 "9043", which was standing right next to the XTW-4. Second example of type that day as another is on display at the Naval museum in Qingdao.

I thought this one was fun too; it is supposed to be a XTW-4, a so called WIGE (Wing In Ground Effect). It was standing some 800 meters south of the SH5 platform. Unfortunately no markings were carried. (and yes I know, pocket size cameras are not good for those distant shots :-( ) http://img219.ima...

Taken last month from the ferry between Qingdao and Huangdao.
I know, not the best photo, but I'd like to share it anyway





From left to right; 9143 (in the hangar), 9113 (nose on), 9123 and 9133.

Thanks!
Did receive a couple of other additions, so for those interested (anybody out there?) a new list.

edit: removed list when posting new version below

And another update:
HA-YCTS is c/n 04-06-05

Oh my.... somehow I missed the "unknown ones" on the French ULM register... Note that these are the "real" registrations, while the F-Jxxx -of which a few made it to the list above- are only their radio call-sign, which might stay with the owner as the aircraft is sold - as shown with F-JFBQ. For th...

Hi, With all the excitement on the indian air force CTSW :-) , this might be the time to get my list with CTs open for discussion. Any corrections etc are welcome! Note that there is much conflict regarding the exact sub-types, but in general I have assumed that no CT's are produced after 2002, no C...
