New C.A.P. Aircraft

[FW]

This is a "G6" regional jet (RJ)

No, that's a British Aerospace HS-146.

If that's a G6, then the asymmetrical thrust would be really awkward, since a G6 has only two engines. 

time for new glasses.....  next time I'll be more carefull when I pull up a picture from the internet... I should be awake too....

Thanks for the explanation: I neither like nor tolerate hip hop, so would have missed it entirely.

That makes two of us.

Excuse me for being curious, but what is a G6?

If it's referencing the now popular hip-hop song, "like a G6" they're actually referring to a Gulfstream G650...

Really? I always figured it referred to this http://www.pontiacg6.info/

The Pontiac G6 doesn't fly.

Besides, there is nothing "Fly" about a Pontiac.

FWIW, the last Poncho G6 I drove got up to 118 in a short flog session.  Before its demise, Pontiac was considered the performance division of GM.

YMMV. Mine was about 21 mpg.

N486CP and N644CP are registered as SR-22's, a Cirrus , as much as id like to have one of those in CAP
and after some more research most of those tail #'s were for SR-22's and now registered to the Cessna Aircraft company.

N717CP is a gulf stream 100... REALLY want one of those in CAP,



however the is good news
N679CP is a Sky Lane based at Maxwell AFB!!
N285CP is as well, how ever its blocked on flight aware? at the request of the owner? i see we are now covering up our tracks.

[SarDragon]

Where are you getting this info? I went here, and got the following info:

N486CP - 182T, reg to Cessna
N286CP - 182T, reg to Cessna
N717CP - 182T, reg to Cessna
N644CP - 182T, reg to CAP
N679CP - 182T, reg to CAP
N493CP - 182T, reg to Cessna
N482CP - 182T, reg to Cessna
N336CP - 182T, reg to Cessna
N285CP - 182T, reg to CAP

A couple of the N-numbers have prior registrations, but above is the current info, straight from the FAA.

[SABRE17]

flight aware, uses the same database of the FAA, says my CFI

http://flightaware.com/resources/registration/N486CP

Also states it's a C182T.

Perhaps a year ago when the last flight was recorded the number was used on a SR-22.

[SABRE17]

yea but that SR-22 was registered to the Cessna aircraft corporation?

[ßτε]

yea but that SR-22 was registered to the Cessna aircraft corporation?

My guess would be no. It looks like it shows only current registration information, not the registration information for when the flight was tracked.

[sardak]

This shows N486CP registered three times.

http://www.aviongoo.com/aviongoo/faa_info.php?nnum=486CP

Twice to Cessna, 182T serial numbers 2261 and 2199 (FAA database shows it assigned to 2261)

Once to Cirrus SR22 serial number 3305

Did CAP get exclusive "rights" to the CP series or do we just get whats available.

I do know that UPS tried to claim the UP series as theirs and they were very upset when the Union Pacific Railroad refused to re-register their aircraft with new N numbers to accommodate them.

[a2capt]

There's no "exclusive" rights.

There's what money, and perhaps influence can attempt to persuade.

[Thrashed]

You can buy what is available.  Many operators, like airlines, buy a bunch of similair N numbers.  My airline has bought hundereds of them.  The one catch is that they have to be available.  John Travola bought N707JT for his 707 from some guy who had it already.

Personally, I don't care what the N number is. I just want a plane to fly. I doubt I'll be seeing any of the new CAP aircraft.
