Any help on getting the correct info?

[chuck9941]

Hi,

I took a photo of a Swearingen SA227-AC Metro III and am looking to make sure I upload the correct information. I am believing this to be a military aircraft as there is no N number but only '10506' as the reg on the tail. It looks like when I enter this number in the database it recognizes it as a metroliner but doesnt give me any other information.

Can anyone give me a hand on where to find all the info? Thanks.

Hi Brian,

THe photo I am posting is only of the nose but here is a photo of most of the aircraft. The taxiway seems to be just a bit close for my 70-300. Thanks.

Could the N have dropped off? When I google the number with N, I come across this:

www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N10506.html

Hope this helps you, though I could not tell you if this is the plane or not.

Greets,

N10506 is a Cessna 150L according to the FAA database.

But.....the Metro is designated as a C26B in the USAF and there is only one matching that tail code.

Serial 91-00506

Type C-26B

C/n DC-806M

Unit. OSACOM Det.33

status act

Prev. ID N3007R

I think that's this one.

Cheers.
