N7198Q is a Cessna 172L - 1972 vintage........ 8)

Definately not a P-39.....Bell P-39 has mid engine and nose gear.......... ??? back end looks like it has roots in the Republic p-47 family....... ???

Guys, the P-39 is a P-36.  I knew that, just I got too much sun and was confused when typing the post

Are you sure about this ?.....the landing gear is all wrong for a Hawk.....on the P-36 the gear retracts to the rear and rotates 90 degrees to lie flat in the wing....
...the A/C in your image shows gear which retracts in towards the center of the aircraft ? ???
Not picking on you, but I don't know what it is either and this doesn't happen very often to me  :-[ .......somebody HELP  :o.....now I need to know what this is.........  :'(   ???    8)



I recognize it, but i just cant think of the type anymore!  Its very familiar to me, Ill go look it up

Dunno Charlie, that fin and rudder are certainly not brought forward from the Harvard  :-/ ......it looks like Republic to me ? very much like the Jug .........  :-X  8)

Believe me...:) Look at a Mk 1 Harvard and you'll see that rudder. Also, you'll notice the T-6 canopy there, other than the last section...

Here are some early NA-16 Harvards, with that rudder...

And, to remove any doubt, here's an NA-50/P-64 taking off at Oshkosh... :)

The last one is the only one that even resembles the one I saw
