So American then?
No.

Sorry - no UAVs for me
Well, they may come in handy, though

Clue: PPRuNe

You're the third... maybe that last clue was a little too explicit...

Edited my sig to comply with the requests that have been made in this thread a dozen pages ago.

Skytrain has it!

Over to you

PS Welcome back HappyPass!

Edit:

Given the silence on the thread, timely, though…..

Keeping the thread going, who knows the Big Lightning Bear will join us again…..

Thanks Reg. Yes, the last clue was a bit of a give away. Just tapped in "Japan UAV" and there it was. Anyway a good challenge.

Give me a short while and I'll have something ready.

Welcome back HP

Yes. Soon. I have some non-responders at this point, and no surprises. Tried to reply your PM yesterday (or day before?) but your mailbox was full.

Good morning!

A nice little clue, perhaps, skytrain?

Morning RD and anyone else out there.

I was thinking it had been rather quiet. Its from the US. Some 20 plus were built and were available as either piston (as per the challenge) or turboprop power.

You wont find a photo of this aircraft in Aerofiles. You will perhaps need to use your imagination (thats not a reference or clue to the aircraft name).
