A Fallshirmjäger G 33/40

here's a pic of it and it's little buddies. I also own an (ar 42) K98 that I am having to get re-worked as some clown tried to sporterize the stock

You've got a K98? You know it's only right for me to hate you now.

Erich · Jan 12, 2005

Erich · Jan 12, 2005

another shot although a bit crappy. U guys can see that the stock has been altered // maybe not.........but it is idiotic

the rifle shoots like a dream

It looks like a compass with a section which is slid around to mark the map heading that the plane should be going in so that any variations in course can instantly and accurately be fixed. I would be guessing that a navigator would use that piece of equipment for various calculations that needed to be made aboard the aircraft for navigational and course purposes. I see after having written this that I have at least guessed part of the purpose of this item.

Anyone know what the rusted can is for?

Here's a hint, it's NOT oil!

evangilder · Jan 22, 2005

Engine containers.

GermansRGeniuses · Jan 22, 2005

Yep, Wasp Junior to be exact!

That's Spirit of 76 I was rambling about in another thread, by the way...

Any idea as to what the white cone might be?

Here's a hint:it's part of a fighter.

evangilder · Jan 22, 2005

Not sure on that one. I knew the engine containers because we have them at the museum. Sealed properly, the engine will hold up well.

is that cone part of a plane's tail??

GermansRGeniuses · Jan 23, 2005

Nope, can you guess the jet it connects to?

Looks like part of a T-2 Buckeye.

HealzDevo · Jan 22, 2007

Never heard of the T-2 Buckeye. Mustn't have really made that much of a mark in terms of being remembered generally...

You need to do some homework...

"Virtually every US Naval aviator from the late 1950's until 2004 received training in the T-2 Buckeye, a career spanning four decades."

There were almost 300 built....

Don't give me a T-2 Buckeye, so ugly it makes aviators cry,
Flying it is no chore, but Christ what an eyesore,
Don't give me a T-2 Buckeye

FLYBOYJ · Jan 22, 2007

Actually I looked at the whole picture - it apperas to be an F-89

FLYBOYJ · Jan 22, 2007

It is an F-89

pbfoot · Jan 22, 2007

I'm impressed it had me thinking

Erich the German flag you posted earlier what was it use, or what did it simbolize?

HealzDevo · Jan 23, 2007

Interesting aircraft it looks like the nose of a Mohawk II on the body of a Republic F-86 Thunderbolt...
