REFLECTOR: Recognize this Velocity?

[Dave T Nelson via Reflector]

Aren't these pictures of different aircraft?

Picture 1:  Some kind of V8 engine, 5 bladed MT prop.
Picture 2: I don't see the 5 bladed prop, or the V8 exhausts... Also - are
the lower winglets missing?... And aren't those fences inboard of the
airlerons (that aren't in the other pictures)?
Picture 3: Clearly a three bladed prop...

      I love a good mystery!

      Searching the FAA database for Velocity XLs in the southwest US
      (based on the terrain in the photo), and eliminating the Lycoming and
      Continental engines (based on the distinctive exhaust system with 8
      straight pipes!), I find 7 results. Two of these already have photos
      in the wiki. These obviously are not the plane we're looking for:


      N6ZL                      VELOCITY XL RG
      FRANKS ERIK      AMA/EXPR


      N84749                 VELOCITY XL RG
      HOSKINS LONNIE F                          AMA/EXPR


      That leaves us with 5 candidates:
      N248RB                WHARTON VLCTY XL RG                WHARTON
      WILLIAM R
      N218XL                 Velocity XL FG   Henry Gary
      N7618                   VELOCITY XLRG DONALD TOM
      N7779X                 VELOCITY XLRG JEFFREY P SCHUSTER
      N983SC                 ELITE XL-RG        STACK A JOSEPH III

      Anyone have more information to add to our investigation? I don't
      have photos of any of the last 5 planes, so any images you can
      provide would be helpful, even if they're not our mystery 8-cylinder
      XL.
