The What is it? Game (14 Viewers)

[Airframes]

Yep, I was going to offer T-6/Harvard/Texan the first time around, but got fooled by what I thought was a wing fold too !
Jim, the Viper's were only in the outboard nacelles - the landing gear bay occupied the space in the inboard nacelles. Here's the retractable intake ramp, and the jet pipe on the starboard outer of the Newark Air Museum example.

At first I thought Seversky P-35 without the pants on the gear, but then realized it did not stand high enough. Maybe a Northrop A-17?

T!

 

[norab]

not a Texan/ Harvard/ SNJ and not an A-17, retractable gear

O-47?

Good pics Terry, much clearer than mine, mid you, I took them years ago on an old film camera. Haven't been to Newark in years; the last time I did was during a Canberra day - when I took that photo and Roland Beamont was there talking about the Canberra. very cool.

10,000 rivets flying in close formation.

P-36?

 

[GrauGeist]

I don't think it's a P-36, since they had the 90° rotate-and-lock main gear, like the P-40.

 

[norab]

not a P-36 or a Curtiss product, gotta go take a ballroom dance lesson with my girl Mattie

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh an Aussie plane...

 

[vikingBerserker]

Boomerang?

 

[GrauGeist]

That does look a little like a Whirraway main gear...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

 

[nuuumannn]

Hmm, does look a bit like a T-6 derivative, fixed gear; the only one I can think of is a CAC Ceres?

 

[GrauGeist]

What's throwing me, is the smooth face to the wheel...

 

[nuuumannn]

That's just a cover over the hub. Take it off and voila!
