Nanchag CJ-6

Mickey's airplane shot is definitely a Nanchang. It is either a CJ-6, or possibly a CJ-9.

This is a CJ-9 that visited our little museum here in Chico. The three-bladed prop is a recent upgrade by the owner.



Both aircraft are direct descendants of a Russian aircraft, the Yakolev Yak S-2. We had one of them in near flight status. We traded it for a Delphin jet trainer from the Bulgarian Air Force. These shots are of the Yak on its way out of our collection. The family resemblance is unmistakeable.

Roy,

Will this help with the identification?

Mickey, I don't know enough about these aircraft to tell them apart. I have to go by the display placards and what the pilots told me.

Boy, does that prop have an OUCH! That plane must have bellied in at some time. That was a definite "Aw s**t!"

Roy,

The letters on the "OUCHed" part of the prop are "J9-61" or "J9-6I".

Just listen to me. I'm in over my head already.

According to this site www.downwind.com.au/index.php?option=com_aircraft&aircraftTask=aircraftDetails&aircraftId=15081&Itemid=142 J9-61 would seem to indicate a prop model.
