The What is it? Game

[Geedee]

Spent my entire lunch break figuring that one out Gary!

Yup....I have days like that

 

[T Bolt]

Ok, see if someone can get this one.

 

[woljags]

is it a b24 j

 

[Nig]

B17d or b17b can't find any right side profile photos though.

 

[T Bolt]

Not a B-24 or B-17

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Just a guess, B-25?

 

[T Bolt]

That's it Arron! I picture I took as a kid around 1974

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Me and my peabrain,.....go figure. Ok, this may or may not pick your brains. Let's see. How about this.
And that is a killer shot Glenn, especially for a four year old. It's sad to see them in that shape but like me at that age, you had a interest in them.

Yak 52 ?

 

[Capt. Vick]

What can we gleen from this photo?

1) Likely a radial engine?
2) Fixed gear
3) Low-wing or minimally braced biplane

AN-2 Colt?

 

[Airframes]

Methinks Yak also, but b*gg*red if I know the model number !!

 

[T Bolt]

I think it's a tail dragger with fixed gear but that's about as far as my thinking goes. I'll take a wild guess and pay it's a PT-13

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Not a Yak or a Colt.
It is a tail dragger.
It is a radial.
It is a biplane.
This is a lot more fun when I'm not the one guessing.

 

[Airframes]

Beech Stagger-wing?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I WISH TERRY, but sadly no , those were some gorgeous aircraft.

 

[GrauGeist]

That exhaust setup sure looks like a Stinson

 

[Geedee]

Pitts Model 12 ?

 

[Tangopilot89]

I'm guessing it's a single radial-engined seaplane of some sort.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Nope, notta Stinson, or Pitts, or seaplane of some sorts. Trying to think of another hint. It is built in the Uninted States and this company is well known for building open cockpit planes, but this is a enclosed cockpit craft.

 

[Geedee]

Dammit...thats twice I thought I'd got it nailed...guess i need a different hammer !!!
