Name the plane
 

Can anyone tell me or make an educated guess on the type of plane in the picture?

That upper wing gull configuration is unique.

A Chaika or derivative thereof (Polikarpov I-153)?

Weather and tractor seems to fit.

Not russian, those had bigger fatter engine cowling
and no V wing spars.

Though this one seems to have a 2 blade prop instead of the usual 3 blade.

Similar in size and dimensions to Grumman's F2F Navy fighter and also designed to operate from aircraft carriers as a dual fighter/bomber, Michael Gregor's FDB-1 had an empty weight of 2,880 lb and a gross of 4,100 lb. As in many other gull wing fighters, pilot's view while flying straight and level was excellent, but marginal when landing and extremely poor when looking downward during that critical phase. Hydraulically operated landing gear retracted flush into large wells on either side of fuselage, ahead of the lower wing. Twenty-eight foot span top wing featured nearly full span slats measuring 10 ft (3 m) per side, plus all-metal split flaps of 4 ft (1 m), 3 in per side, positioned between root and ailerons. Bottom wing span of 23 ft (7 m), 10 in also incorporated longer split flaps of 7 ft (2 m), 9 in per side. Like many a Soviet and Polish contemporary that had preceded it, biplanes as well as high-wing monoplanes – the center section of the top wing on Gregor's trim fighter had a gull-wing configuration, attached at right angles to the fuselage for less drag. This was supposed to afford improved visibility too, particularly straight ahead in level flight.

I think you nailed it.

A Waco UIC on skis?

I think YOU nailed it

Looks good to me, thanks.

This board is amazing!!

Now for bonus points, name the tractor? ;)

Love this place, no subject to obscure to bring out some knowledgable response.

That upper wing is eye catching.

Cheers Richard

I thinking the tractor was an old Farmall.

Lamborghini tractor ?

Massey Ferguson?

The Grumman or FDB-1 has retractable gear the OP photo has fixed gear.

Yep. Waco UIC. Number one son (and aviation savant) confirmed it. Tractor looks too wide for a Farmall. Looks like a Massey Ferguson to me.

cool plane

I'm sure it's a Waco, but not sure of the exact model.
Another Waco on skis.

It's a Fordson E27N.

What's this guys name?

vin?

It has the exhaust on the left side of the engine, so it's a diesel, which would put it in 1948-1952 production period. After this I will have to so some research.
Wait ...

OK, it's between 1054094 and 1216990. That's as close as I can get.

That's Doug on the left and Jack on the right.

WD, can't find the pic with a google search. Curious....What's the backstory? Family?

I think it was Bill on the left and Stan on the right.

Happened right in front of our house. Not sure if the plane was my FIL's or a friend.

Beautiful.

All I know is Doug is digging and Jack is holding up the plane.

I think the tractor could be a Fordson.

I was going to say tractor was an old Allis Chalmers, maybe WD 45?

It's a Fordson E27N like this one, except it has the Perkins diesel engine option, so the exhaust is on the left.

Great work, thanks to all for the assistance.
