The What is it? Game

sort of Russian, but not exactly, not a Hokum. It will seat three in a pinch

 

[Grampa]

PZL-Mielec M-15-01 Belphegor?

 

[norab]

Grampa got it. a strong contender for the ugliest airplane ever flown

 

[Grampa]

see who solve this then

 

[Airframes]

I'm probably wrong, but I'll guess at the gas relief ports on the cannon of a SAAB Lansen ?

 

[Grampa]

A little right about that but still a failed answer.

 

[Airframes]

The shape of the gun port looks very familiar, but if it's after about 1980, then my knowledge of 'modern' aircraft isn't that great!

 

[Grampa]

it's made before 1980.

 

[Grampa]

No more guesses? Ok here's some hint. It where known by pilots easy to handling and therefore an populare plane for them to fly exept for common engine breakdowns, but they where never build over 750 and they they where never used before 1980, none of them where equipt whit missiles exept for several of them were refitted as testbeds for new missiles. It also had no tailwheel. One confusing thing here about this name of the plane is that there also another type of plane that came 4 year earlier, that straight winged fighter had the same name as this one but it only only became no more than a prototype. it could reach between 2500-3000 km whit external tank

I think you've killed the thread. Can't you give a clue that gives it away or something like that?

Too righty...i've seen that puppy before and I'm currently b*gg*red if I can remember where !!!....Grrrrr

 

[Grampa]

Ok sorry but I latley have being busy whit the x-mas time. so here's some new hints. It uses 5 wheels. The latest of the family who where a reconnaissance version where build whit a complete redesigned wing for high-altitude. The radar it's equpt whit is big and making a big rounded nose on the plane. It uses 2 gun's. photo of the guns and the big radar.

Ok here's some more cookies for you guy's. Instead of ordinary 2 main landingear at back as many interceptors, it have only one that is cetral placed back on the fuselage. The prototype flew for the first time 1950. the wing are swept back 45° at quarter chord and mounted in full-mid position.

 

[AirWolf]

It is a Yak-25 isn't it

 

[Grampa]

You are the winner Airwolf, It's the Yak 25

 

[AirWolf]

I'm just gonna do an easy one

 

[Grampa]

Fokker G.I?

 

[AirWolf]

Nice Grampa, I said it was an easy one and you got it

 

[Grampa]

Ok heres one. It has wood-and-metal structure. The design-projekt began 1934. A modified prototype broke six world records speed whit payload 1935. Many other country used this plane. This plane was by far the most important offensive warplane of World War II it served for the country it whas build from. The main identification mark is above but here's a tip, one of them is on the belly like this photo shows.

SM-79?
