jinxx1 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Tough one. Well, for me anyway! (Wait, I took the photo!)Mark B-52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 B-52 Okay, tough for me, easy for you!! You win a cookie!! Good job! 59-2577 on display at Grand Forks. Pics taken August 2007 but she's been re-painted and I've yet to see the new look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Here's one for ya: Maybe one more.... If anyone gets this second one, I will be EXTREMELY impressed. Not a single guess? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevortex88 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I want to say A-4 Nose gear well for the second one and I still have to think about the first one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I've been wanting too but nothing was hitting me ....till now!!!! Is the first one a T-33/P-80???? Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I want to say A-4 Nose gear well for the second one and I still have to think about the first one... The first one bothers me. Some WWII fighter with tricycle undercarriage, but can't be Airacobra..? Or an early jet fighter like Shooting Star? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevortex88 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The first one bothers me. Some WWII fighter with tricycle undercarriage, but can't be Airacobra..? Or an early jet fighter like Shooting Star? Yeah, I was thinking T-33/P-80 but it doesn't have the landing/taxi lights on it. Other than that it looks pretty right though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevortex88 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I was also thinking it could be the nacelle of something too, rather than the nose, maybe a P-38 or Tigercat or something like that, but none of those look right either so far... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevortex88 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) XP-56? This is driving me nuts! Edited May 31, 2008 by trevortex88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) You guys are thinking along the right lines. I did an early/really late mix on those two shots. Oh, and here's a hint. That isn't a P-80, but it isn't far from one. Edited June 1, 2008 by Cobrahistorian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 No guesses? Ok. First is an FH-1 Phantom Second is a X-45A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 How about this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phartycr0c Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) SR71 or F 16 tailpipe?? Ill go with 71 no..... A Thud! My turn! Edited June 2, 2008 by Phartycr0c Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) I'll guess a Tornado. Above is another B-52. Behind it is a VC-something-or-other...Lockheed Electra. Edited June 2, 2008 by Slartibartfast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phartycr0c Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Nope Not a B52! and the ac behind is something a lot more interesing than a VC 10 but I cant remember exactly what Ill check me phots again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phartycr0c Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Douglas C 54 Skymaster told you it was more interesting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I guess we had that jet with the four engine nacelles at the start of the thread, but I can't remember the name. I'll guess a Tornado. <...> We have a winner! Boy, that didn't take long, did it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 So the not-B-52 is a A-3 Skywarrior? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phartycr0c Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Nope not that either. And its not appeared thus far! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I was thinking "McDonnell 220" again, because of the engine nacelles. But the MLG is far too big, as it is for an A-3 Skywarrior. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 My turn! Sure looks like the left main gear well of every KC-135 I ever did a pre-flight on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
