ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_Traders_Carvair Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair was a large piston-engine transport aircraft. Very Good. Why is this plane unique? She is now the last of her kind, the last airworthy Carvair. And, I became a part of aviation history when I jumped out of her. Survivors 9J-PAA seen at Rand Airport, South Africa on August 18, 2011. The Zambian registered 9J-PAA, the 21st and final Carvair built is in South Africa with Phoebus Apollo Aviation, although now removed from the Zambian register the owner plans to return it to the skies for airshows. The second (N89FA / "Miss 1944", the 9th Carvair) is based in Denison, Texas, and flies with Gator Global Flying Services on ad-hoc cargo charters throughout the United States. This was the aircraft that participated in the 2005 World Freefall Convention in Rantoul, Illinois, setting the record for the largest number of people to fly in a Carvair when it carried 80 skydivers and five crew to an altitude of 10,500 feet. Piloted by Captain John Harms and Captain Chris Rice, the climb took 38 minutes. The skydivers exited the large freight door at the rear of the aircraft. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 It appears to be a 4" model 29 clone. The rectangular cylinder release is distinctive, but I'm having trouble finding pictures of the italian and brazilian guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Well the cylinder release doesn't look smith to me, but the little cartouche on the grips does. Let's say it is a genuine S&W model 29 4" 44 mag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
