Silhouette challenge
I will also tell you that its name is quite appropriate considering where it comes from.
Do you think it looks like a motor-glider?
Engine? - try Lycoming.
America, Yankeeland...Yankee? Is he talking States maybe?
Good morning Arado.

Morning all,
Coffee time, and a quick search,
I now see the logic behind Ken's clues; The company is from Alaska, the A/c name is the Prospector (oil or gold).
As unlikely as it seems and I passed it over before work because of it, it's a mid-wing STOL
The Keller FK-1 STOL Prospector
Keller FK-1 STOL Prospector, N4XK, Private
Edited to say that I'll keep my light on and an eye open from time to time; did you recieve the images I sent the other evening LM, any order will do, but ascending order if possible!

Good morning Trevor.
Just how did you find that????
We've been running around in circles.....
No mate - didn't look last night.
Send one here to work ASAP and I'll move.

Good morning David,
Images sent, thank you.
I found it by the use of SST (superior search technology)
Actually, I went through most of the likely candidates before work, so I revised what I was looking for in the light of Ken's clues that arrived later, namely the year and that it hadn't got an image, so I was able to skip most and look for the unlikely and something that fitted the State criteria, = bull**** baffles brains technology!

Good research Sinco 
. Yes its the Keller FK-1 Prospector STOL. I've identified at least 2 aircraft that were built, of which N5XK crashed, and N4XK remains, and is pictured on the web. Its described as a "bush plane" in some souces - doesn't quite fit the image in my book!
