In Sunday's (Norfolk) Virginian Pilot was a silhouette puzzle of some of the aircraft owned by Jerry Yagen of the Military Aviation Museum, in Virginia Beach. How many can you name ? Here's a hint.... # 46 is a P-51

I'll post the answers in a day or two

OK, I'm officially PO'd! I wrote down what all but three of 'em are, then typed them out in a reply. The site said I was not authorized to perform this function and wiped it all out! Damn stupid computers!
 
Does Jerry actually still own any of these? Lol

Yes, Capt. Vick. Jerry sold four aircraft about a year or so ago. Among what he sold was a FW-190.

Cherry Blossom: You done good too. 52. La-9.

GregP: Not bad ! 16. DV-I, 28. Tigermoth, 34. MiG-3, 37. Laister-Kaufmann TG-4a, 49. FW-190A8, 52. La-9.

Cornell: If at first you don't succeed.......

No one has hit #31 yet. Wonder why ?
