The What is it? Game (4 Viewers)

[T Bolt]

Not a F6U. Not U.S. Navy.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Douglas Mix-Master or Jet-Master?

 

[T Bolt]

YB-43 Jetmaster it is, in the restoration hanger at the Air Force Museum sitting next to that XB-42A Mixmaster.

 

[Airframes]

Good call - I don't think I would ever have got that one!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Me either, I have spent hours looking all over the internet and never saw either of those two.

 

[andy2012]

Boy, good job with that!

 

[oldcrowcv63]

Great call Vic, I too spent a good deal of time searching the web for something that resembled the mystery pipes. I am sure all the Dehavilland Sea Vixens, Supermarine Scimitars, Douglas F3D, McDonnell FH and F2H, F101, XF88, Northop F89 images reviewed will come in handy one day in solving a future mystery.

D*mn you T-Bolt, don't you know this is tax season? How will taxes ever get done with such obscure aircraft like that to identify?

 

[T Bolt]

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh boy! I thought they were both still at the NASM Silver Hills facility! Are they on permanent loan?
Anyway, Can we wait until tonight? Hopefully I can submit something halfway decent... Unless someone else wants to take over....

You bet we'll wait for ya', you totally earned that one...Good job!

I thought for a moment that it may have been the YB-43, but I was convinced it was a fighter and keep looking in that direction :/

 

[Capt. Vick]

 

[Airframes]

That's got to be a cryptic clue as to it's name, but I can't figure it! I'll go with Mudry Cap 10.

 

[Capt. Vick]

You Terry are THE MAN! A CAP 10 it is, and in a shopping mall as well! The clue was a hint at it being a primary trainer, which if you crash they would send you packing most likely. (Sorry I didn't have a better one...) A shout out to my good friend Phil who supplied the picture, which he took, from France.

 

[Airframes]

That was more luck than anything, as it years since I saw a CAP 10, let alone flew one!
I'll post something later today - got to dash out now. (Well, a quick hobble maybe - I don't do dash these days!)

 

[Airframes]

OK, see if this one pricks the senses.

 

[Grampa]

Folland Gnat F1 perhaps?

 

[Airframes]

That didn't take long!
Yes, it's the little Folland Gnat. Maybe the cryptic clue was a giveaway!

 

[Grampa]

I reconiced the unusual holes for the 30mm aden's cannon's that are on the side of the airintakes.

 

[Airframes]

Ah, of course - I seem to recall, you're Finnish, so probably more familiar with this aircraft than most. Good call, your turn.

 

[Grampa]

Ok lets try this then, It's an airintake to by the way Airframes im not finns.
