Good day,
1st post, ("long time" lurker!), so bear with me! Not sure if this belongs in "Flying", but I thought you prop-heads enjoy a little quest.
Saw this aircraft, photographed it; and called it a Cessna 188, and didn`t think anything about it, look:
Today I received an E-mail of a person that seemed adamant that this is actually concerns a Piper Pawnee Brave. He mentioned the wing struts, but they may have been taken off for maintenance purposes.
Anybody really convinced on here?
Cheers,
Ultra Long HaulerThe aircraft on your photograph is a PA-36 Pawnee Brave.

Hi ULH,
I'm with ANTEK and your e-mailer - it's a Pawnee Brave.

The DGAC in Ecuador agrees with ANTEK
FAPSA HC-BJM PIPER PA-36-300 1981 OPERATIVO FUMIGACION
You can find this information on their Website at http://www.dgac.gob.ec/ Choose Parque Aeronáutico and then search in the listing for REGION II - COSTA, it's no 99 on the list.

Thanks folks,
you seem united!!
As for the website of la DGAC, I tried that; but for some reason it didn`t work, a few days ago. I then put the registration# in Google, also to no avail.
I stand corrected, I will now have to do the correct thing, and right the wrong!
Much obliged!
Ultra Long HaulerSaw a very small aircraft today - tiny - on the same scale as a C42 - but retractable; composite; registration I-8249; very sleek. Does anybody know what it might be?
It'd be lucky and nice if somebody knows the exact aircraft, but I-8249 would likely be an Italian Aero Club microlight/ultralight registration in the old format. If it was a sleek, shapely retractable that narrows the field, and if its low wing then one guess would be an Alpi Pioneer. Like this?
I Believe the image shown is a Falco. A fellow I knew had one, and really enjoyed it. He then bought a Bellanca Viking, I suppose for something similar, but larger.
The photo is an Alpi Pioneer
I think that's the one - thanks.
