The What is it? Game

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Grumman F-3F?

 

[GrauGeist]

not a jet, come on guys make some guesses

I'm honestly at a loss as to what it could be!

I know it will probably be so obvious after it's identity is revealed

 

[norab]

Not a Grumman, and I don't think anyone will say it's obvious, single seat and not in any current service inventories, I'm not sure if it's in any museum anywhere.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Gyrodyne Model GCA-55

 

[norab]

very good, all yours Viking

 

[vikingBerserker]

I wish I could claim anything but luck, excellent choice.

Ok, here is the new one:

 

[GrauGeist]

WTF is that contraption??

And with a VW engine, of all things!

 

[norab]

it was allegedly a Porsche engine, not a VW and it was the grandfather of all the later Gyrodyne developments, sort of a hovercar and I use the term very loosly.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Great! Hahahahaha!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Alcohol had to be involved.

 

[Airframes]

Alcohol would need to be involved to fly the bl**dy thing!

 

[norab]

OK here is a guess on the new quiz, Sud-Ouest SO.6000 Triton

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nope, but that is an interesting looking plane.

 

[T Bolt]

Looks real safe to use. Don't know why the pilot is even bothering with a helmet.

 

[vikingBerserker]

He looks like me as a kid when I was imagining flying my chair with a hammer handle as the stick.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Ok first clue, it is a bi-plane.

 

[Geedee]

Only thing i think of at the moment is the Polikarpov I-153 Seagull ?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nope

 

[Capt. Vick]

Is it Japanese?

 

[vikingBerserker]

yes
