LN-MAG 9 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Looks a lot like the Piper PA-23. Entered production in 1954. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta777 272 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Yes, looks like a Piper PA-23 "Geronimo". Production started in 1952 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta777 272 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 That explains why Mathjis cut of the tail. Good job mikkel, never heard of that plane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesome 22 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Mikkel, hurry up and post when production started! Otherwise you won't win I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkel 61 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Mikkel, hurry up and post when production started! Otherwise you won't win I think Oh, thank you. Next time remeber to read the question fully Mikkel! When production started? I actually think it never started. They later made a singel engine airplane with the same designation: M22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flusi4ever 39 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I think the Mooney Mark 22 started produchtion in the 1950s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphilippi 0 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Mikkel is right: The only prototype (which you can see in the photo) of the "Mooney Mark 22 Twin" was built in 1962. The aircraft never saw production because it didn't get its certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Aerosoft Share Posted December 20, 2009 Oh, thank you. Next time remeber to read the question fully Mikkel! When production started? I actually think it never started. They later made a singel engine airplane with the same designation: M22 Bingo... it was a twin mooney prototype. Ugly as sin. And indeed I had to cut the tail otherwise it would be too easy. Did you know about the aircraft? Or did you use a image search program that uses a sample image as input?

mikkel 61 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Did you know about the aircraft? Or did you use a image search program that uses a sample image as input? I did not know about the aircraft, but I though that it really did not look like a Piper and not like a Beechcraft. So I got quite curious. First I thought it was French, so I checked all the French GA producers, with no luck. While reading about old GA planes, I finally found a notice about a rare Mooney twin, and a link with a picture, I was quite surprised when I saw that it was the same picture you had used, but it seems like there are only two known pictures of this plane. No image searching, but some good old research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
