spotted a very strange aircraft flying over Everett harbor this afternoon... it passed almost directly overhead, and i was able to get a couple of decent photos. i've never seen any aircraft like this, with the odd ventral fins beneath the tail. anyone got any ideas what it might be?
I sent the link to Rocky's post to my buddy Bob the aviation photographer who replied with the following:
It is the FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION’s 1993 LEARJET INC 60
I knew right away from the angled down “fins” on the tail. You can also see the N - # on the engine nacelle. http://flightaware.com/resources/registration/N55
Bob also sent me the following info in a follow-up e-mail: Airlift Northwest has a Lear 31 they fly out of Boeing Field. It has the same “Ventral Fins” as your friend calls them.
This morning I got another e-mail from my friend Bob who found this entry on the Arlington Airport's FaceBook page:
Blast Deflectors, Inc is currently testing the effects of placing a non-metallic blast deflector in front of AWO's Localizer. They have funded a reimbursable agreement with FAA flight inspection for an approximate 3-hour test at AWO today.
