That's not a P51


looks like a C3605 turboprop

I thought P51 aswell. Sounds like a turbo prop (from the vid that is) but i dont see any exhaust coming out of it, so i dont know what kind of turbine it is. But what I do know is that He didnt even see the jetranger because of the nose of the AC.

I still think its a p51...

Never mind i just saw your pick after i posted

[Sneeker]

C 3605 Are your refering to the actual engine ?

[Sneeker]

I dont know what it is.

That is the AC though what kind is it?

Plus I answered all my stupid questions

Taxing a tail dragger it's impossible to see what is directly in front of you.

Don't think it's a 51 but I can't say what it is.

[Sneeker]

I say again LazyLob is right. The ac in question is a EKW C-3605.

Guy should have thrown in a couple of S-turns while taxiing, or at least had a wing-walker.
With a nose angle like that, about all he can see is his own crotch!

As the British might say: BAD DRILLS!!

[Lazy Lob]

Back again. The trouble with this plane is its huge nose, but a few s turns wouldn't have hurt.

Another factor is turboprops taxi a lot different from normal piston engines. They're almost always producing thrust unless the props are feathered. The pilot may have not been able to stop the aircraft. Its also likely he never saw the chopper for reasons stated above.
