Guess the aircraft thread!

[ExigeEvan]

dammit, my mate showed me that a while ago. And now I can't remember it.

 

[Attila_Da_Hun]

Why make an unsymmetrical plane?

 

[Duke]

Because the Germans did a lot of bizarre stuff during WWII, particularly near the end.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Neon, 👍 on the identification of the Frenchie. Impressive stuff.

EDIT: I remember seeing a pic of that in one of my books. Made by Blom and Voss? Need a more precise model?

EDIT/EDIT: A BV-141

 

[Mike Rotch]

See how quickly this one is identified

 

[Duke]

All right, first pass is something British, maybe Vickers or Avro. Not elegant enough for a DeHavilland product. Defintiely made in the mid '30s, though.

 

[ExigeEvan]

dammit, i suck at pre WW2.

 

[Ev0]

Bloch 210. A French inter war bomber that was obsolete by the time the Germans invaded.

 

[Duke]

I'll buy that. Mike?

Surely do. Either Evo can go or Duke, just to keep the game fluid

 

[Ev0]

Allright, how about this:

 

[Mike Rotch]

Oooo. I may actually stand a chance on this one.

Northrop?

 

[Ev0]

nope

 

[qjasonp]

F-16?

 

[Mike Rotch]

Is it that new plane that has direction nozzle over the engine outlet that gives it super-mobility? I know the F22 is the main proponent of that but i am sure I remember a single turbine plane having the same thing.

 

[Jugend]

Eurofighter?

oh well I know nothing about planes..

 

[The359]

At first look, it appears to be similar to the T-38 trainer, but the dual tails is different from the T-38...

 

[Duke]

...and it doesn't appear to have thrust vectoring equipment out back. Hrm, this is going to take a little thought.

 

[Ev0]

It isn't a fighter or a trainer (look at the pilots in the cockpit to get a feel for the plane's size)

 

[The359]

Well in that case it's probably one of those private jet fighters you can buy...

That means I have no clue exactly what it is.

 

[Solid Fro]

I've soooo seen that plane before! I can't put a name on it.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Think boy!

 

[Solid Fro]

Bede Jet Corporation's BD-10

Yay!

 

[Mike Rotch]

Good stuff Viper. I just confirmed it 👍

Your turn then.

 

[Solid Fro]

Let's see how good you are with aircraft markings.

 

[Mike Rotch]

I'm guessing its not a F-15 Eagle?

Edit: It is a F-15, isnt it?

 

[Solid Fro]

 

[Mike Rotch]

Do you want the plane or the markings identified?

 

[Solid Fro]

It is a specific plane. I need the specific name.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle.

It doesnt have military tail codes, so is either special function or retired.
