One of teh saabs? viggen?

All good guesses but wrong... remember, funny name

For another hint, the production of this plane involved spies and stolen plans.

The plane in the tree is a Huff-Daland Duster. Leaving the N-number visible is an invitation to cheat, so I did :D

Martinho

11-27-2009, 10:41 PM

That sounds like concord :grin:

Dassault dagger

Some of the info was heisted via computer espionage, or something like that... but not all of it. It had something to do with lax security because of multiple countries having access to the information.

But in the case of the plane above, ALL the plans were stolen, in one of the biggest spy operations of the 20th century. That should be enough of a dead giveaway. If anyone gets mad when they figure it out, at least it's not an obscure prototype, and it is a different plane from the plans.

ok final hint before I reveal the answer: yes, it was, in fact, stolen from Dassault.

I guess the f-35 lovers didn't materialize but it's a good thing I didn't say anything bad about the f-22. Though I think it put all its eggs in the BVR basket too, at least as far as combat vs OVT planes is concerned. [ducks]

I considered posting the Viggen, actually, I like the fighters that can land on roads. More sensible than putting vtol on a plane and then still calling it a fighter.

time's up, the plane I posted is the IAI Kfir. Mirage3 + stolen plans = Kfir. The Mirage 3's plans were stolen by the Mossad after France embargoed Israel. Israel added their own, better engine and their own avionics and a few other things.

Are you sure about that? I mean Mossad stealing France's blueprints of the Mirage 3. Because I remember reading somewhere, that since France was supplying Israel with planes, tanks, and weapons (before the US took over as the main contributor,) they gave the Israeli's the Mirage 3 because it was becoming outdated for the French Air Force. And also, that's how they got other Mirage's like the IV and another early Mirage (by buying them, and then suiting them up for their own uses, not stealing the prints).

France did end up selling Mirage's to Israel, but at the time, Charles De Gaulle was refusing to sell them so they had to steal Mirage 3. It was being produced outside France, Switzerland if I remember right, and a Mossad agent managed to get ahold of several hundred copies of the design.

I think Sandylowlead's is a Corben Babyace, an early "homebuilt" from the 1920's. You can still get plans and kits for 'em today, though it's very rare to see one with a radial engine nowadays. The one in the photo must be pretty old, and it still drips oil! Where do you work Sandy? Place looks pretty cool in the photo :cool:

Nobody wants to guess at mine? Hint: It's a homebuilt from the '70's.

Are you sure Panzer? The He-112 was a competitor with the Bf-109, and it was a tail-wheel plane. This one seems kinda odd with a nose gear up front sharing space with a big water-cooled engine, kinda wonder how it all fit. Maybe the nose wheel tucked up into the gap left by the inverted V? I can't find anything on the He-99 except that a few flew in Spain with the Condor Legion, no pictures. Now I'm curious to learn more about it....

I looks like the front wheel twists sideways, rather like on a P-36 and P-40, to fold up flat. The chances are that it could be one of the "Austerity / Desperation" built utility fighters towards the end of the war, when materials were in short supply.

Russia had the LaGG-1 and LaGG-3, Britain had the Miles M-20 amd Finland had the "Reckless" (A wooden copy of the Buffalo powered by an I-16 engine).

I find the "also flew" fighters and bombers more interesting than the more familiar fare.

The accounts of the many dogfights between HS-123 bi-plane fighters and Soviet I-15 bi-planes is one forgotten part of the 1941 invasion of Russia.

The Chinese ace, "Fatty" Chung, scored all his kills with the Vultee P-66 Vanguard, despite also flying the fast but clumsy P-43 Lancer, which the P-47 Thunderbolt is a bigger version of.

Good one Danny. From what I've read on the Me-309, some versions even had a pressurized cockpit for high altitude intercepts, very unusual for a single engined fighter. Problem was that all that extra stuff made it too heavy and performance suffered. Here's a diagram showing how the nose gear would lay flat up under that big engine:

flynlion

12-05-2009, 11:15 PM

So if anyone is still interested, the homebuilt I posted back on pg 30 is a "Mini-Imp" designed by Molt Taylor back in the 70's. It has a VW engine that sits just behind the cockpit and drives a tail mounted pusher prop through a drive shaft. I want one heheheh.

The large partial picture is of a Northrop P-61 "Black Widdow" night fighter.

The bi-plane has a Fokker D-V tail, Armstrong-Wittworth Siskin wings and a propellor that looks like its from a Hawker Fury.

The undercarriage also looks the same as on a Siskin too.

I'm think that its a Dutch Fokker D-VII, D-VIII or D-IX maybe??

Ok, so after searching and searching through french planes. I couldn't really find anything that matched. BUT then, before you had even said anything about Spain. I forgot, I had over looked the tail, which had a sort of WW2 Nieuport 28-esque tail to it (at least to me). SO, I searched and searched through my book on Spanish Civil War planes, and came up with this!!!

This was a prototype jet chaser in 1944 and saw some service during the late 1940's, after the war had finished.

Powered by the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine.

Top speed was 492 MPH in level flight.

This is the world's second fastest ever piston engined aircraft, the Martin-Baker MB-5 being quicker at 520 MPH.

There was also a jet powered version.

They say there's a shortage of choppers in Afgahistan, there's loads where I live (no less than 3 army bases in close proximity) see chinooks all the time.
I got some insider intel on this, if you're interested... ;)

The majority of our Chinooks are currently grounded from combat operations thanks to software. You see it's a rule that the software for primary and secondary systems have to be developed by different companies, as then it is highly unlikely that the same bugs or problems will be present in both systems. So if one fails you can be reasonably sure the back-up will function.

But it turns out that the guys that did some of the software for primary and back-up systems both went to the same university and learned the same things from the same teachers, so make the same design mistakes. I don't know what the systems were or how many of them there are. Could be just one system, could be all of them... But whatever - a lot of Chinooks are grounded.

P.S: now I have an opportunity to post in here without being off-topic I can finally congratulate you on keeping a thread on topic and civil for soooo many pages. WP ;)

No they're not Mirage's. Figured that out because I figured, they had to be some kind of Eastern European nation. Which during the cold war (which these jets seem to be from) all had that Soviet-esque look. Well they may not be directly Soviet produced, constructed, or planned out. But they are Eastern European. Which leaves me to my conclusion of calling them the Romanian IAR-93B

Which miraculously, wouldn't be such a bad jet to try and fly. I think, it was actually one of Romania's last home grown jets because afterwards, they mainly stuck with Soviet ingenuity like the MiG-21, MiG-25, etc.

Got it! Yak-28

very good, you're right it is the Yak-28. ;)

Would have put up a Yak-27, but I figured it would have been to obvious to call it a Yak-28. :P Anyway, your turn He-111.

Also, here's a complimentary Yak-25 picture. :)

yup, though isnt the 27 slightly smaller? never really took much notice of soviet aircraft since they are inferior to anything the west can put up :D :P (for soviets benefit) haha

Most Soviet planes, all have similar qualities. Some even have the same body, just different size or maybe engine difference. Something, that's not quite noticeable.

Yeah yeah, say what you like. But we all know, that with Soviet ingenuity, Soviets can pump out twice as many fighters/bombers etc. than any Western nation. :D That's what makes them so great. And the simplicity that is put into them, is just amazing. hahahaha

If you want to take out a base in one go - thats your plane!!

i should of followed you in, watched you release all bombs etc :( i failed you as a wingman i think because not alot of damage was being done. Was the right set up on your SU33, but between take off and attacking target something wasn't quite right but i dont know what :( sorry mate.

Wanted you to destroy targets to get your score up etc while at the same time making the game quite quick. Next time we'll sort it.

dont sweat it any advice is good advice.
I think it was because i was level bombing not diving and then when i dived i dived too steep

FOZ_1983

12-18-2009, 07:47 PM

Ah right, yup that will be it :D

level bombing seems a bit strage in the SU33 (only plane ive really bombed in) because the bombs wont go where the target reticule is. Must be a knack to it but i dont speak russian so have no idea what my computer lady is saying haha.

Best bet is come in from height and dive down (not a vertical dive) but close to a vertical dive and then from a good height release all your bombs, the second they are relased then level out and head for home. If you get a lock on then turn away from it and just head for home at great speed. The speed you generate from the dive will be good enough to get you away from the missile.

Wait, why are you two using the Su-33; which is the Russian version of the American F-14 too bomb? (Not really, but both are made with the same idea of protect carriers. The Su-33 is just a Su-27 that is carrier capable. :D)

Because in over-g (you played it?) each plane has its countries weapons, and where the F14 can carry four 2000kg bombs the SU33 can carry a hell of alot more!! the SU33 is a superb bombing platform, it carries a huge amount of bombs. The SU27 on the other hand - garbage. It seems better for air to air than air to ground and cant carry half as much as the SU33.

This is all in over-g btw.

The superior planes for bombing ground targets i found were -

SU33
F15E (think it was the E, theirs about 4 models in over-g)

i still prefer the Saabs because of there sheer agility, sure they cant carry a big payload but by god they can fly.

Hmm, interesting? No I've not played Over-G, but maybe I should start too. Both of the Su-27/33 should be superb air-to-air jets, but the Su-33 shouldn't be very air-to-ground friendly. I mean, not that it's not capable of carrying bombs, but it's should be modeled to be more air-to-air like the Su-27. If they want a good ex-Soviet air-to-ground jet, they should have gotten a Su-25 or something. Most Su's are air-to-air jets. Like the MiGs. But most MiGs now, besides the 29/35, are high altitude interceptors ie MiG-25/31 etc.

Russia has kinda taken the stance of heavy bombing and 'dogfighting' rather ground attack like the American A-10 or something along those lines. Though I do think, that there are still a couple of Su-25s still being used by the Russians?

The SU33 in over-g is a good all rounder, though when it comes to air to air i prefer to use the F15 or the F14 with phoenix and amraam missiles. Though the F22 it the best air to air but takes alot of fun out of flying due to the fact its practically invincible.

The russian planes in over g are -

mig 29g
mig 29s
mig 29a (luftwaffe colours)

su 27
su 27 (russian knights colours)

su 33

The SU33 in over-g is a good all rounder,

It's the best plane after the 22. It can take a ton of missiles, and is one of the few with mid range IR missiles and thanks to being able to take 4 1500kg bombs its one of the few "1 run" jets, meaning it can destroy a symbol tower in 1 pass. It really is pretty much the best at everything after the 22

And the cannon on it is a beast!

edit as over g has hi jacked this thread, name these planes (well they dont have a name but what are they?)
