The What is it? Game

[Capt. Vick]

It is a PT-17 AND it is the one at the AIR MOBILITY MUSEUM in Dover, Delaware! Great Job!

Thanks!

Sorry for being a bit slow, but I'm home for lunch and I'll post this next challenge.

Some of you guys are pretty sharp and will probably get this right away!

Don't even know what part of the airplane I'm looking at!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'm not even sure it's an aircraft.

 

[GrauGeist]

It is definately an aircraft, it is from WWII...

Is that too tough of an image, I can redo it, if that would help?

 

[T Bolt]

a little wider view might help. I just get more confused the more I look at it.

 

[GrauGeist]

lol...no prob!

coming right up!

 

[GrauGeist]

Ok, revised the clue...see if this helps any...

And if this helps any, it was designed in the 1930's

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Looks to be the landing gear cover.
P-40?

 

[GrauGeist]

you've got the right idea Aaron, but no, it's not a P-40

 

[T Bolt]

I'd agree its pat of a landing gear cover, but not a P-40, and my guess is that it's a tail wheel. I'll have to think on this one for a wile.

 

[GrauGeist]

You guys are doing pretty good so far, TB you're on the right track

 

[wuzak]

B-17?

 

[GrauGeist]

Nope wuzak...

It is not a bomber

 

[wuzak]

F4F?

 

[GrauGeist]

good guess, but it is not a Wildcat, either!

 

[T Bolt]

Looks like a carrier aircraft but not American. How about a Zero?

 

[GrauGeist]

You are correct, it is an A6M3, to be exact!

Excellent job, TB!

I'll post the original photo when I get home this evening

*Actually, I'm home for lunch, so here's the A6M3, seen at the 2009 Redding Airshow *

 

[Capt. Vick]

Way to go T-Bolt!

 

[T Bolt]

That was a great one

Hope this one isn't too easy
