I do not remember the Saab type-designation, but if I remember well it is often refered to as the "Lil' Draken".

Wijgert is right:

The Saab 210 was powered by an Armstrong Siddeley "Adder" turbojet with 450 kilograms (1,000 pounds) thrust. This left the machine seriously underpowered, and in fact in warm weather, it was often flown in the dark hours of the morning. Despite this limitation, the Lill Draken performed about a thousand test flights before being donated to the Flygvapnet museum.

I am going for the bonus points for the M15 question, my answer: at least two :

When I encountered this one I thought it was a plane put together at a kindergarten with the use of all kind a spare parts...

Well it is probably too easy to ask where this one was taken?

OK... a few more from me. This time they're all civil, allthough 4 of the 5 are (or were) also used by the military.

Good luck!

Nice ones Bert, but to push tennis balls into somebody else's exhaust is a bit, well....

#1; ERJ.135 (or 145), the upturned APU exhaust is a dead giveaway,
#2 T-28
#3 AW.139
#4 ??
#5 TBM.700

I think #3 is not an AW.139 but a Sikorsky S-76.

I thought so too and:

4) Cl.605 Challenger
5) not a TBM.700 (different intake, nose wheel and wheel doors) but what it is......

1 is an EMB-135BJ and to be more exact, it's D-AONE or D-ATWO of Velvet (Cirrus Aviation)

Heron · Post by **Heron** » 01 Sep 2008, 23:37

Not bad, this fast... 4 out of 5 are correct.
1 D-ATWO EMB-135BJ Legacy-600
2 N228AC T-28B Trojan
3 D-HNDL S-76C Eagle
4 CL605 Challenger
5 ?

I'll give everybody a bit more time to think it over
