 | Poor guy, hope he's ok. That is a gorgeous plane, too bad.

I used to work for Teledyne Ryan - one year several PT-22s and STMs converged on the facility for a fly in....

| Here's some pics to compare the two. The first one is the PT-22 the other being the STM.

| The Ryan ST came first as a civil trainer. It is powered by a Menasco inline inverted 4 cylinder of 125 hp up tp 150 hp supercharged version. The Ryan ST-M is the military version, the difference being the cockpit stringers are visible as humps down the sides below the cockpit openings, these are internal on the civil version, also the military airplanes openings are larger. The Ryan PT-22 is an evolution of the ST and has slightly swept wings and a five cylinder Kinner of 160 hp. Postwar mods have PT-22's converted to Ranger six cylinder inline engines, Continental, and Lycoming's to. Some even opposed cylinders! That looked like a very nice airplane and a very nasty accident. Notice the concrete drainage culvert in the pictures, I wonder if it had something to do with the accident? Chris... |
