Istres le Tubé 16.06.2010 - What type of plane is this?

[Olli J.]

This one did a few approaches at the 16th of June. I don't know the type or the job of this aircraft. The reg looks like F-WUAV, but i can't get any Infos. This is an old A-300 Reg of Airbus Company.

According to the French Civil Aviation Authority it is a....


...non existing plane
No record in their database for such a registration.

According a log by Reach4060 in this topic it's a Dyn Aero.

It's an ugly plane! That should be enough!
But it looks like it wears the manufacturers name or logo under the cockpit. Maybe you can enlarge it?

According a log by Reach4060 in this topic it's a Dyn Aero.

That is like saying it is an Airbus. Dyn'Aero is a manufacturer, so it still doesn't give the type. Besides it doesn't look like any of the Dyn'Aero types I know (which does not rule it out completely though).

If I'm not mistaken F-Wxxx-registrations are usually temporarily allocated serials for factory-operated aircraft. The last three characters of the serial ("UAV") strike me as somewhat suggestive...?? Maybe this aircraft is modified into a Unmanned Air Vehicle?? It certainly has a lot of visible modifications (be aware, that is just a personal guess!)

Best regards,
