The What is it? Game (7 Viewers)

[Capt. Vick]

Guess this

 

[Airframes]

Ah, the new thing for the next 'Star Wars' never-ending saga !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Certainly looks like it Terry

 

[norab]

Klingon Zardoc 2 ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

It looks more Romulan to me. Anyway the rear is to the left...

 

[Graeme]

Hi Vick.

I think that "window" belongs to what was known in the early 90's as the American Aircraft Corporation (AAC) Penetrator?

It looks more Romulan to me.

I think that's the one below it mate...

 

[Capt. Vick]

You are correct sir!

Now called "Aerocraft Stealth Star 204 SS"

 

[Airframes]

That's one I didn't know about! Well done.

 

[GrauGeist]

Interesting body-lines, but as much work as they have done to reduce a radar cross-section on the fuselage, how much of a signature would the main tail rotors have?

 

[Geedee]

Big round ones !

 

[GrauGeist]

Big round ones !

That would be my guess, too!

So then a radar operator would see only the rotor cross-section and think:
"...this *could* be a helicopter, but all I see is a rotor spinning by itself, so it can't possibly be a helicopter. Therefor I'll ignore it..."

 

[Capt. Vick]

I like the side gun turrets, giving defense to the rear quarters.

 

[Graeme]

Thanks Vick. Here's the next one...

 

[vikingBerserker]

Cool chopper!

 

[norab]

Aichi E13A ?

 

[Graeme]

Aichi E13A ?

Not from Aichi norab.

 

[GrauGeist]

Thanks Vick. Here's the next one...

I am really trying to figure this one out, however, it looks to me like this has had it's ass kicked at some point.

Is it Italian?

 

[Graeme]

G'day Dave.

I am really trying to figure this one out, however, it looks to me like this has had it's ass kicked at some point.

Not Italian mate but it is from WW2. As far as looking like it's been ass kicked, it should be looking factory-fresh but the country in question certainly got it's ass kicked. And it's not Japanese...

 

[GrauGeist]

Hmmm...ok...

How about a Messerschmitt Bf162

 

[Capt. Vick]

There appears to be a rather utilitarian handrail under the cockpit canopy. My guess is French.
