Fourteen minutes! A new record! Thanks bud!
I think any aircraft question is better asked here that GOOGLE. Many knowledgeable people here.
Very well known here. I think North Korea still uses them for military service...
There's one at Planes of Fame in Chino, but I don't know if it belongs to them....
Oddly enough when I googled it it came up, but I didn't recognize it. It was on my phone so it was small, and the plane on google was all shiny and new. I typed in "biplane four blade prop passenger" and it was the eighth image.
i think they have one of these at the national usaf museum in dayton.

And notice the prop blades are reversed, as I recall the engine rotates to the right not to the left . . .
I'm going out on a limb and say it is a T-28B, as the later versions (D's anyway) had a conformal scoop brought around and integrated in the lower right-front of the engine cowling. This eliminated the scoop drag on the right side, I suspect.
PS: It could be a B or later. It was the A version with the conformal scoop. Later versions had the projecting scoop, so more efficient, or easier to build (or both?).

I think that's it. The square-ended prop blades too. Thanks guys!
I keep running into photos around town that I can't ID the plane! I've tried looking on the web, but at the rate I'm going I may just make this a regular thread entry!
It is a Myasishchev VM-T Atlant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myasishchev_VM-T
They were used to transport rockets and other space vehicles to the Baikonur Cosmodrome. They have been replaced by larger aircraft.
That's a helluva droptank

Maybe it's Kyte's gin supply for the year?

Fouga CM88R
That appears to be a Kettering Bug, WWI cruise missile.
So how many books are in your personal library?
Alrighty, try this. Hint: It's not what it seems, and might be remembered by those of a certain age (ie all the old farts around here)

Youtube have some videos of the Kettering Bug. Here is the first.
Didn't think the D.II had such a prominent rear deck behind pilot.

Can see the image Zoe posted though - that's a Fok D.III to me - more rounded tail, more V between the elevators

Very odd you two, 'cos in your replies the photo is there large as life.

On alamy website Zoe's photograph is considered to be of a Fokker D.II and if you compare the length to wingspan ratio of the photograph with those of the plan views of the planes it seems to me to be closer to that of a Fokker D.II.
I cannot see your image either, Steve.
