The What is it? Game

[GrauGeist]

Well, how about that?

It's a pretty sad note when you can identify an aircraft by their questionable design features

Ok...here we go:

A quick stab here Dave, purely based on the red paint job and that, well, odd looking strut...

Are we looking at the Phoenix?

 

[GrauGeist]

Well how about that?

Graeme, you're dead on!

It is indeed, the Mantz P-1 Phoenix (sadly, the very aircraft that killed him)

Thanks Dave! Love that film. Probably my favourite aviation film.

Dave, why not put another one up as it didn't last long. If not, anyone else can have a go.

Cheers mate!

 

[GrauGeist]

Ok, I'll put another challenge up...hopefully it'll last a little bit longer!

I'm back!
Sorry Dave, it's like a disease, if I see something I instantly recognise I have to answer it.
Pretty sure it's the Henschel 132...

Put another one up. I promise not to look...

I see that we're going to have to get a little harder on the clues from now on!

Hs 132

Good eye, Jim, Graeme beat ya' but I don't have anything handy to post, so how about you take it from here?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Hi Vick.

Pretty sure this is the Lockheed P-80 or a T-33. I remember posting this on the forum, probably 7 years ago. Memory is going...
But I'll see if I can locate the magazine where I saw it.

 

[Graeme]

Memory is going...

But as they regularly say in the old folk's home - bingo!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Damn...really thought I had a winner there...just found out about it myself

 

[GrauGeist]

Don't feel too bad, Jim...some of these guys can ID a whole aircraft by a few rivets...

Put another one up Jim.
