Two months since the last post and I am finally finished updating all my finds and looking for new ones. Before I publish the collection, one last round of help identifying aircraft please! Remember, these are streetview finds, so you can move around and see other views. As this is the last post I’m making for awhile (since I’m releasing the file), I’ve added a whole bunch of older finds I didn’t think are identifiable but maybe are. These are marked with a * after their #. There's 41 of these, so enough for everyone


As usual, if possible:
A. Identify the aircraft model (Boeing 747-400 or Cessna 172 or Bell 412 is fine, doesn’t need to be more specific)
B. Identify the Airline or Organization (if it’s a commercial plane/helicopter)
C. Identify the tailcode/specific aircraft (if possible)
D. If the aircraft is NOT identifiable (too blurry, too many possibilities), please let me know (post so)!

THANKS! Will credit you as identifier!

G4:appears to be on Final approach to Langley AFB and is probably a military or NASA aircraft. I suspect a version of the U-21 (King Air)

O1, E5, and E10 are Beech 1900D aircraft.


Just curious, after all this research, why are you having trouble with some easily identifiable aircraft? You seem like an enthusiast which is cool as heck. I guess I thought that you would have a copy of Janes.

E1 is one of the most common regional jets in existence.

I actually know almost nothing about identifying airplanes. Like...what's Janes? I started just by finding aircraft in flight in streetview as a hobby cause I thought it was fun and I liked airplanes. To identify airplanes, I'd start by identifying the airline and then going to the wiki page for that airplane and seeing what planes are in their fleet and then looking at pictures on google images of those planes as seen from preferably below or the side. With executive/regional jets, I have no idea what to search for since I don't know anything about them so don't even know where to start. Military planes is usually easier because they belong to a specific country and then the base is a specific branch so there's a limited selection of possibilities. Helicopters again I'm kind of clueless, but you can usually start with number of rotors/seats and then backtrack from what organizations fly out of the closest airport/heliport.

C3 I believe to be Croatia Airlines Fokker 100.

http://cdn.airplane-pictures.net/ima...5/9/716414.jpg

Wikipedia indicates that they only had 1 Fokker 100, so that plane in the link is probably the one on your Google maps.

G1 is either a Warrior/Cadet or newer Archer for the UND flight school in the East Valley, they practice a lot at Falcon Field (Mesa)


G3 is an older Hershey Bar wing PA-28 Cherokee, cowling suggests a 140 or 150, and moving to the next view shows only two windows, so earlier than 1968 if it's a -180 model.


G7 is a Pilatus PC12.
