The What is it? Game

[norab]

alrighty, let's try this bird

 

[Airframes]

MiG 21, Fishbed D.

 

[Capt. Vick]

It's not that stinking Lightning is it?

Hey, Hey, Hey ................!

there's no need for that.

and no it is not a "proper" Lightning as the have a nice shiny intake rim, so there

 

[GrauGeist]

Hmmm...I think Terry might be onto something there and if it's not a MiG, then perhaps a Su-11 (Fishpot)?

 

[norab]

not a Lightning, and not a Russian design

 

[GrauGeist]

Well, it has odd colors, so my first thought was Soviet made

I almost want to say a Lockheed D-21...

 

[norab]

not Lockheed

 

[Capt. Vick]

B -58 hustler?

 

[norab]

nope, not a B-58, I feel compelled to point out that this one is sneaky and rotten even by my standards

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

And this is different HOW?

 

[norab]

ROFLMAO, I suppose that might be true, so here is a clue. the original design had two engines

 

[wuzak]

SR-71

 

[Geedee]

Not sure about the SR71 as the shock cones point downward slightly on the clockwork. i must admit to thinking it may be the 'drone' that was carried piggy-back but they're normal in the 'house color flat-black.

Sorry guys, I already tried...

(Gary, that drone is the D-21, by the way)

 

[Airframes]

I was starting to think of something lie a Jindivik target drone, normally painted red and yellow. The I thought of the Shenyang, Chinese copy of the MiG 21, but the twin engine origins has me stumped.

 

[norab]

ok, another clue, it can seat up to ten

 

[Airframes]

Ah! The Coney Island Big Dipper car .............

 

[norab]

this has been produced in two different countries

 

[T Bolt]

Helwan HA-410 ?
