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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 *
