[Mike Rotch]

Correctly identified.

That is the same address Neon used to link the photo's from.

 

[Jay]

thats the only one i could find

 

[Mike Rotch]

Google doesnt give any useable results for a "great lakes 2T1MS" web-search or image-search. But if you found it, you found it.

Your turn it is then.

 

[Jay]

na you go if you want im abit tired of this game (getting to involved in FS2004)

 

[Mike Rotch]

Righty-o then:

Actually, it is American. Vincent Burnelli was born in the States, and Burnelli Aircraft was located in New York City.

This one will either be very easy or it will be very tough to solve.
I blocked out the aircraft's markings so it isn't a giveaway.

 

[DQuaN]

mig 23 "flogger"?
*edit* no its not

 

[Duke]

Mig 23 is a good guess, or it could be a Saab, but I'm going with a Convair F-106 Delta Dart.

 

[DQuaN]

looking at the f-106 it looks like a single engine nozzle. Im not sure but it looks like the picture above has twin engines.

 

[///M-Spec]

(this thread rocks, btw.)

I'll take a guess. At first I thought it was a Saab, but it definately has two engines, so that's out.

Then I thought it was a prototype Dassault Mirage IV stragetic bomber. Closer.. but I don't think so. The cockput dosen't look right.

So I'll go with prototype Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer medium bomber.

[DQuaN]

I don't think so. The su-24 is swing wing i belive. The plane in the picture above is a delta wing.

 

[DQuaN]

Is it a Mirage IV?

*edit* or a chinese shenyang j-8

Yes, it is a swing wing. Nevermind.

Well, it fits the Mirage IV except the cockpit area doesn't look right to me. But then again, it's obviously a prototype, so maybe they changed it.

[DQuaN]

I think i'm going to stick with the J-8

The J-8 is not a delta either.

I'm begining to think this is perhaps a one-off test plane that never entered service?

[DQuaN]

Nope....i think I got it.......Avro Canada CF-105

 

[DQuaN]

Im going home now....ill check in a hour to see if im right

Good call. I think that's it.

[emad]

Avro Arrow - any canadian would know that - if CF-105 is the "official" name to it, you're spot on on 👍.

 

[Duke]

OK, so it's DQuaN's go.

Welcome to the propellorheads, ///M-Spec.

 

[DQuaN]

Ok....this is a good one

 

[The359]

MiG-29

 

[DQuaN]

Yup. I was hoping it would be a bit harder than that!! Your go.
