The What is it? Game

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

When you save it to your computer and click the save as button, just rename the photo but make sure once you we have guessed the plane that you also give the photographer credit for his work. This is one of the reasons we use our photos so we don't get in trouble with copyright infringements.

ok here goes

 

[Airframes]

A guess - Reggiane 2002 ?
NO - scrub that - it's a B-26 Marauder.

 

[Sagittario64]

hmmm nope.

 

[GrauGeist]

That's "Wolfhound", a B-17F (124585) captured and flown by the Luftwaffe (KG200)

 

[Sagittario64]

yep. i was kind suprised you picked wolfhound out of all the b-17s that were captured. however while that is the likely answer, the picture i took this from is missing a few of the numbers in its code

Bart M. Rijnhout is who i read took or claims the picture, if not please correct me so the lawyers dont rise from hell to kill us all

 

[Sagittario64]

I do believe its your turn GrauGeist. i think the b-26 guess took alot of the challenge out

Getting off the rules a bit here guys (post 1). Aren't we supposed to use our own photos?

 

[Sagittario64]

i know you are supposed to follow the rules, however im in a bit of a pinch cause i rushed in without reading the entire rule list, and i had to keep the game going somehow, so i was told i could use a internet picture as along as i properly credited the owner of the pic.

 

[Crimea_River]

What!! You were encouraged to break the law!?!?

What's next, total anarchy????????

Well, OK, carry on then!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I didn't encourage it, I just let him do it.

 

[GrauGeist]

Notice the paint on the tail of Wolfhound? The camo on rudder is very distinctive

ok...my turn then:

The ones I've posted in the past were too easy for ya'll, so this should be more of a challenge!

 

[Sagittario64]

omg. that could double as abstract art how challenging

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I can't tell what it is Dave.Looks like it might be air intake behind the prop but don't know.

 

[Sagittario64]

well i akready have bad eyesight and am wearing glasses. i think for this round, itll have to be totally random fire until we get a hint. so everyone, fire away. maybe one of us will get lucky with a near miss, earning some sort of hint

 

[GrauGeist]

Well, I'll give up a hint...it's not a piston/propellor aircraft...

 

[Crimea_River]

SR-71?

 

[Airframes]

Looks familiar, but blowed if i know what it is!
BTW, the camouflage on the rudder of 'Wolfhound' is the Medium Green blotches used in 1943, commonly called 'Crows feet', which made me think B-26.

 

[GrauGeist]

I agree Terry, but Wolfhound's were very distinctive
And come on, man...I'd figure either you or Gary would have nailed this right off the bat :/

SR-71?

nope, but it is a relatively modern aircraft

And come on, man...I'd figure either you or Gary would have nailed this right off the bat

Its the fairing on the Gatling at the pointy end of an A10
