[Airframes]

It was the 'flashy' thing which put me off choosing Gladiator !!

[DFM+BB]

okay my turn now.
Think this si easy but not sure, just tell me if it needs clues !

Have a good time !

 

[Airframes]

MiG 17 ?

 

[Geedee]

Mig 15...at least I think its a 15 or it could be the 17. They have one at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum and I took an almost identical piccie

 

[DFM+BB]

Yes you are right my friends !
It is a Mig17 !

Well done AirFrames ! show us your pic Geedee !

 

[Airframes]

OK, and now for something completely different !

 

[rochie]

now i know this one as i may have been stood next to you when it was taken !

 

[Airframes]

Yep, you were! We both thought it an unusual place to stick a washing machine !!!

 

[rochie]

oh it's not what i thought then !

thought it was when i was filling up the car !!!!!

 

[DFM+BB]

seriously.... not a damn clue of what this is !

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'd hope it would be a airplane, but there's know telling.

 

[wuzak]

Hs 129?

 

[Airframes]

Not an Hs 129. Twin engined, and not German.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh how I wish it WAS a Hs 129!

 

[Airframes]

Add two of those numbers, and divide by the remaining number, and you'll get a clue ......

 

[DFM+BB]

To me it looked like a twin engined US aircraft ( this pic should be around the US star on the fuselage ) and according to the paint it should be Olive drab all around.
As the P38 that had mirrors on the engine to look down or the configuration is absolutely not aerodynamic (with the two buttons ) so I'll look up for a pre-war or a early war aircraft, I am close ?

 

[Airframes]

Apart from the twin engines, no my friend, you're not that close!
It was pre-war, but was still in service many years after WW2, and is still used, in some parts of the world, today!
Oh, and this one is not Olive Drab!

 

[DFM+BB]

hummmmm I am confused, pre war still used today I was up for a Dc-3/C47 but it seems that it is not from US.
Got to dig up !

 

[Airframes]

OK, another clue - it is American, but also built, under licence, elsewhere.
