The What is it? Game

OK, try this one.

AGIAN!

 

[Matt308]

You gotta be kidding me. USS Rusty Scupper?

 

[Matt308]

Im sure that will be lost on most...

Hate humor. It's the last bastion of society.

Think and expand. It's a well known, large aircraft, jet engined, not American, but not from a mythical planet.

Prehaps someone will do me a favor and post a new one, I do not have the facilities to post a picture.
My guess is the Vulcan.
I promise not to make anymore guesses after this, until I get the computer sorted out, but I just could not let that clue go by.

 

[Airframes]

And Mr. Spock .. er, Paul, has it. It's the mighty Vulcan, or rather the boundary layer splitter plate of the port engine intake, on the Vulcan at Newark Air Museum, photographed on a rare dry, and sunny day in September this year. (the clue, which Paul got, was 'not from a mythical planet').
Can someone post something until Paul has his computer obeying orders please?

 

[meatloaf109]

Please?

 

[Matt308]

Honestly what frustrated me was the apparent original welding and what looks like a very rough repair job over the top for such a high performance airplane. Totally donked me up.

 

[meatloaf109]

I am always amazed at things like that on high performance aircraft. Until I started really looking closely, I always thought that jets were a little more, umm,... smooth?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I can post something, hang on. And way to go Paul!!!! This should be easy.

 

[meatloaf109]

Thank you, and I will excuse myself from this one, mainly as I have no frikkin' idea!

 

[T Bolt]

I think maybe it's a jet

 

[Airframes]

Well it's a jet with twin intakes, probably twin engines, probably American, but that's all I know!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You guys are doing great with the hints, I'll let it sit for a bit.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok, is a twin engine and this is of the exhaust side.

 

[meatloaf109]

Having to do with the dark arts, perhaps?

 

[norab]

let's give F-101 Voodoo a try

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Nope, no dark arts. And not a Voodoo, the shot was taken from the rear of the aircraft. I thought this kinda of odd when I noticed how the exhaust was shaped and how it exited the craft. I can't think of a clue that won't flat out give it away. It is U.S. Military and has a crew of four.

 

[meatloaf109]

Wow, I thought for sure that it was an F-101 with that curved stuff.
Kitty-cats?
