Hi Everyone,
It's been almost 2 years since my last post like this, but I'd like some more help.


I work on a file for Google Earth that documents airplanes captured in flight by Google Streetview. I'm putting out a big update for the file (after two years), but have a bunch of aircraft (airplane and helicopter) I want to identify before releasing it. I've gotten pretty good at identifying planes, but some are still elusive. Usually when I'm stuck, I go to the airport's wikipedia page and lookup airlines there and go from there, but even that doesn't help sometimes.


I'm looking for aircraft type/model and airlines/operator (if applicable). If they're not identifiable, either because the image is too blurry, too far away, or there's too many potential choices, please state that as well.


I'll add the streetview link and try to add information I've gathered about it. Anybody who helps identify any aircraft gets credit for their help. Thanks!!!


1. Business jet landing in San Diego: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7280...7i13312!8i6656

2. Gen. aviation in Eelde, Netherlands: https://www.google.com/maps/@53.1258...7i13312!8i6656

3. Maybe too far away: https://www.google.com/maps/@52.3631...7i13312!8i6656

4. Takeoff from Ishigaki: https://www.google.com/maps/@24.3873...7i13312!8i6656

5. Bern, Switzerland. I just barely can’t make out the aircraft identifier: https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9211...7i13312!8i6656

6. This is a Lufthansa plane, but how do I identify the airplane model/type?: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.8046...7i13312!8i6656

7. Business jet in Colombia: https://www.google.com/maps/@10.4145...7i13312!8i6656

8. General aviation, just barely can’t make out identifier: https://www.google.com/maps/@4.81541...7i13312!8i6656

9. In Medellin, Colombia: https://www.google.com/maps/@6.23151...7i13312!8i6656

10. Image is kind of washed out. Bangkok: https://www.google.com/maps/@13.7290...2!8i6656?hl=en

11. Bangkok again: https://www.google.com/maps/@13.7267...2!8i6656?hl=en

12. Peru: https://www.google.com/maps/@-11.996...7i13312!8i6656

13. Also Peru: https://www.google.com/maps/@-12.005...7i13312!8i6656

14. South Korea. This is from 2009, so maybe the livery has changed which is why I can’t identify it:
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4604...7i13312!8i6656

15. New South Wales, Australia: https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.927...7i13312!8i6656

16. Is this a Flybe airliner? If so, how do I identify it between the Embraer 175 and 195?
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.6577...7i13312!8i6656

17. Aircraft registration doesn’t seem to line up with what it says. It's not JA8325, which is what it looks like. Doesn't match any of the existing Japan Airline codes either: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/a...irlines-jl-jal
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.5454...7i13312!8i6656

18. Business jet, img from 2008:
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.5542...7i13312!8i6656

19/20. Pretty sure these are the same airline. One of these planes went to the Paris Air Show in 2015, as I can see it in the foreground of this one picture, but no other info on it: http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/...re-id477216972
19: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.4230...7i13312!8i6656
20: https://www.google.com/maps/@48.9897...7i13312!8i6656

6. Airbus A320 more than likely
7. Gulfstream
10. 737 NG. Probably an -800
11. A320 I think
13. BAe-146 or RJ85.
18. Challenger
19. E170/175
20. E170/175

There are a ton of variants of each model. Are you looking for generalities or very specific designations?

#3 has 4 engines, no hump. Boeing 707 type, or A340.

#6 looks like an A 320 series

#10 I'm going to guess is a Lion Air 737

#11 is probably an A 320 series

#14 Asiana 767 in their older livery. It could be a 777, but I think it isn't.

#15 only guessing, but I suspect that it's a 767.

#17 looks like JA8985 to me.


I could be wrong on a few, but those are my best guesses. Sorry that I can't give more info than a possible model number.

Just in general, doesn't need to be specific (I.e. Boeing 737 is fine, doesn't need -800)

Thanks!!

# 11 is a Shenzhen Airlines Airbus A320
(the A320 hint helped!)

# 13 is a Star Perú BAe 146
(good call on the BAe 146 -> led right to me finding it)

# 15 is a Garuda Indonesia Airbus A330

#2 — Hard to say for sure, but it looks to me like an earlier Piper Comanche — 1958-1965.

#5 — Cessna, probably a 150/152 or possibly a 172 (Skyhawk).

#8 — Cessna 150/152

1.) For me it looks like a Citation Excel. Not sure though.

2.) AIS Flight Academy Socata TB-20 Trinidad, PH-JIS, I would say

4.) Peach Airlines A320

5.) HB-CWE,
Alpar Reims-Cessna F172L Skyhawk

6.) Airbus A319

7.) Gulfstream (IV?)

8.) Cessna, could be 152

9.) Looks interesting. I would say a Let-410 from Searca

10.) China eastern Boeing 737-800 special livery http://cdn.airplane-pictures.net/ima...2/659130as.jpg

11.) Airbus A320, shenzhen airlines

13.) Star Peru BAe-146

14.) Asiana Boeing 767

Indeed, you convinced me Sorry. From this angle, it was quite unsual for me.
