Guess the aircraft thread!

[Mike Rotch]

Paint work looks like a B-1A to me. I dunno if there were other models (C's,D's etc) though.

 

[Jay]

i think it was close enough in the first place, that mooney aircraft i posted wasnt identified 100% correctly but i didnt care

 

[Mike Rotch]

Agreed. Zero, you are up.

 

[Solid Fro]

Yeah, Mike should get it. The only major difference between the A and B models are the type of ejection seats that are installed.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Thanks Zero

Try this one:

 

[Solid Fro]

30's? American?

 

[Mike Rotch]

40's, not american

 

[Mike Rotch]

As it appears people may be stuck, here is a Post War picture of the same plane:

EDIT: It will be easy to confirm a correct identification in google in my absence...

 

[Duke]

I believe it's a Nakajima fighter. I don't have a model number, but I think it wa built to be a Kamikaze - hence the cheap fixed gear, etc.
[edit]
Yeah, just found the model number - Ki 115, purpose-built kamikaze plane.

 

[Jay]

yep i can confirm thats the one, you turn neon

for some strange reason japanese never occured to me?

 

[Duke]

Plenty of clues all over this one.

 

[Jay]

that one is easy, but i wont say what it is because i have to go to bed, and dont have time to post up my another pic

 

[DQuaN]

an airbus of some sort... ill have it in a mo

 

[DQuaN]

airbus super guppy?

 

[The359]

I needed to hear B-1A because if I would have accepted B-1B, I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of finding a picture of one of the 4 B-1As in existence.

And you actually have two seperate planes there. The first is an Aero Spacelines 377SG Super Guppy (not Airbus ), the NASA plane is an Aero Spacelines 377SGT Super Guppy Turbine.

 

[DQuaN]

ok b1-a and Aero Spacelines 377SG Super Guppy. Is it my go then!!?

 

[DQuaN]

Ok getting the plane is easy.......
I want the name of the squadron/team

 

[Duke]

They're the Blue Angels in F-18s.

In the same vein:

 

[DQuaN]

Sure, it's the Red Arrows. Now I need the aircraft...

 

[Ev0]

BAE Hawk

 

[DQuaN]

Noooo
It cant be....that would be way too obvious

Wrong-o.

 

[The359]

The Red Arrows' former Gnats

 

[Duke]

Ding-ding-ding! Your go, 359.

 

[The359]

OK, this one will be trickier. This is the interior of a plane, famous for it's sheer size. If you guys can't figure it out, I'll post a picture of the outside of the plane.

Here's your hint though: There is only 1 of these planes in existence anymore.

The first picture is inside the massive air intake, and the second picture is the 3 of the plane's 6 total engines.

 

[Ev0]

Massive size, eh? I'll guess the An-225. I first thought Spruce Goose, because there is only one and it is big. But upon seeing the engines, the Goose was out of the question.

 

[The359]

The An-225 doesn't have internal engines, it has nacelles

That, and they aren't grouped together.

 

[High-Test]

could it be the tu 144 supersonic plane? seems a bit big for that though

could be one of those beriev "sea monsters"


could it be the lockheed xb 70 valkerye?

 

[The359]

The Tu-144 is certainly the same type of plane (at least design wise), but this thing was even bigger.

EDIT: Yes, you got it, the North American XB-70 Valkyrie

Your go.
