[wuzak]

Not an F-100 and not a nose.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Republic Rainbow?

 

[wuzak]

Ah, yes.....

That was quick!

 

[GrauGeist]

Good one!

(still think those look like F-100 noses...just sayin')

I suppose, from that angle, they do look like F-100 intakes as seen from above.

 

[Capt. Vick]

That Rainbow is one of the best looking planes to ever grace the sky. IIRC One was used as a target at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. If so, wonder if there is anything left...

Try this one:

 

[wuzak]

Vought XF4U-1?

 

[Capt. Vick]

No my friend, but you are on the right track!

 

[Geedee]

Vultee Vengance ?

 

[wuzak]

F4U-1?

(as in, not the prototype)

 

[Capt. Vick]

no no guys, sorry. Evidently it was quite a plane, but lack of competent production capacity put paid to any serious operational deployment.

 

[wuzak]

Consolidated TBY Sea Wolf? (Originally designed by Vought)

 

[Capt. Vick]

Yes sir!

 

[wuzak]

Excellent.

I'll put up another clue later.

 

[wuzak]

Maybe this one will last longer

 

[norab]

Fisher P-75 ?

 

[wuzak]

Not a Fisher.

 

[wuzak]

Need a clue?

It is a single engined fighter.

 

[Clayton Magnet]

XFY Pogo?

 

[Capt. Vick]

French VB 10?

Sorry, missed the clue. Couldn't be the VB 10, it had two engines.
