Paul, I would not ever have thought of that if you hadn't headed in that direction. I had forgotten all about that craft until you brought it up and thank you for the inadvertent clue. Allright, been waiting to get one correct so here goes, HAVE FUN.

Wright Brothers 1909 flyer.
Dang!, that's not it...

 

[GrauGeist]

hmmm...that looks like Marvin the Martian's Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator

 

[Grampa]

I whould say by joke's it's a bombfuse but Im also glad to see it's a good sharp and clear foto, better than the last one.

That could be anything from a part on a Caterpillar tractor, to a machine tool cog - but I'm certain it's a xenon fine tune adjuster for the cross-hair graticle on a Dalek's vision scope ....

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

No guesses yet? Hmmmm.

 

[meatloaf109]

Whatta ya mean? There've been three guesses by my count!
O.k., I know it's some sort of photo-electric gadget, could we have a clue?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

The aircraft is part of the United States of Americas Defense system. How's that?

 

[Airframes]

I was right, it is a machine part! It's the hyper drive cog for the gates on the Mexican border!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Terry, it is an aircraft. Don't tell me I finally posted one that has you guys STUMPED.

 

[norab]

It's the frapalitic adjuster on the prevously top secret Harvey wallbanger OMG-1 aerial surveillance bus

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok, another hint. It is a U.S. Navy craft.

 

[meatloaf109]

It looks so high-tec klunky, with the caulking and what-not, hard to believe it's on an aircraft!
Got me stumped.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Well, let's see if some others join in and if know one gets close or guesses before I log off tonight I'll post a larger shot of it. This photos is cropped.

 

[GrauGeist]

naw, leave the photo as-is...the clues are good enough, too...ok...is this part of the weather measuring equipment aboard the U.S. Navy's Storm-chasers P3 Orion?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Nope, it is a carrier based piece.

 

[GrauGeist]

Alright...carrier crate...hmmm...

Is the aircraft a fixed wing or rotary wing?

 

[wuzak]

S-2 Tracker?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Fixed, but not a Tracker. If I'm not mistaken, it's still in service.

 

[T Bolt]

E-2 Hawkeye
