Guess the aircraft thread!

[DQuaN]

Hmmmm.... Is it a Vickers of some sort?

 

[Mike Rotch]

Nope, is isnt a Vickers.

 

[DQuaN]

Well i'm stumped!

 

[Mike Rotch]

There were only 17 ever built, and to my knowledge there is only one example flying today.

 

[DQuaN]

Did a Google and still can't come up with anything. Is it made by Boeing?

 

[Mike Rotch]

Not made by Boeing or M-D.

 

[Duke]

Damn, it looks like a Twin Beech knockoff, but the nacelles are too small and the stab is too far forward. Oddball.

On another note, thanks to "Mike" for updating the leader board information.

 

[DQuaN]

Where is the leaderboard information? (post 100.....woohoo!)

 

[Duke]

First message in the thread.

 

[DQuaN]

Cool, i think this is the only leaderboard/competition on GTP that i am not last in!!!

 

[DQuaN]

Well i'm still stumped, does anyone else have any idea? I think we (I) might need another clue.

 

[Solid Fro]

Lockheed? Maybe... I don't know.

 

[keram]

Aerospatiale?

or the company that makes the Albatross forgotten the name.

 

[Duke]

I was thinking Lockheed Electra, but it doesn't seem chubby enough. A Hudson, perhaps? Ventura? I'm staring to sound like DQuan...

 

[///M-Spec]

Man, these general and commercial aviation ones totally pwn me. I can't even hazard a guess. If it doesn't have a gun on it or drop bombs, I'm clueless!

My thoughts exactly!

 

[Mike Rotch]

Well it seems like I stumped everyone - and unsurprisingly so as it is uber-rare

As teh Aircraft King couldnt indentify it (Neon), I reckon I will just name it and pass the turn on to who ever wants it.

It is a.......*drumroll*

Next turn, who-ever

 

[Duke]

So it was similar to the Ventura...

I'd say Viper Zero gets the next go.

 

[Solid Fro]

Here's an interesting aircraft:

 

[The359]

Russian TB-1.

 

[Solid Fro]

No.

 

[Ev0]

Is it a French plane?

 

[Solid Fro]

No, the French couldn't build something this big and still make it fly.

 

[The359]

Certainly Russian, you can see the red star on its wings.

 

[Ev0]

Whoops, didn't see the stars underneath the wings at first. The nose reminded me of a bomber built by Liore et Olivier.

 

[Duke]

Yeah, and those fat fighters slung under each wing are old prewar Yaks, I think. But I assume you're looking at the one in the middle.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Looks to me like a Tupolev of some sort. Is that on the right track?

Edit: Those engine nacelles are bothering me, but I'll stick with tupolev.

 

[Solid Fro]

Yeah, that would be the right track.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Excellent, then I would say it is a TB-3?

 

[Solid Fro]

You got it Mike.
