name this plane (for fun)
 

ok seems like a few plane buffs on here so i thought it might be fun to start a name the plane thread

heres how it works ill post a pic and everyone has to guess the plane then the first person to guess correct has to post a pic and we all have to name that one etc etc :grin::grin:


pic to follow

ok here is the pic

NAME THIS PLANE :grin:

http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/DSCF0184.jpg

Looks like a Dassault Super Myst??re in target towing yellow...
________
Mercedes-Benz M138 Engine Specifications

NOPE but nice try :grin:

It is an early prototype of the Dassault Ouragan. The material it was constructed of was too flimsy so, during its first flights, its intake was distorted into an oval shape and its elevators fell off completely. Also the rudder disappeared leaving it with a sharp, pointy, rudderless fin. Realizing it would be useless for military purposes after being so mutilated, the French painted it bright yellow in the hope that it would be spotted and shot down as quickly as possible so they could be rid of it. They shipped it off to several of their colonies, but all the enemy would do was stand there and laugh at the bright-yellow "war" plane. So it was quietly retired to the museum where the above photograph was taken.

nope but lol :grin::grin:

is it...
 

A Baulton Paul P.111A ?

correct well done mate now its your turn :grin:

Awww beaten to it

OK...
 

that one was hard...

Would never have got it had i not stumbled upon one ages ago whilst browsing. Couldn't remeber its model number but knew the manufacturer.. so I could google it to find out!

I have no really obscure plane pics... Well none that hard anyway!

This will probably be easy..

su 33 ???

Ahhhh, that my friend would be a Mig-35

Yep.. Although this one is the Mig 1.44 (same thing basically!)

Well done.. your turn. :)

OK here is my submission

Fairly easy to all those plane buffs out there

http://www.military-aircraft.org.uk/...mxy-7-Ohka.jpg

Is that the Japanese suicide rocket, watchamacallit... The Ohka (Cherry Blossom)?

Indeed, it is the MXY7 Ohka

Aka CherryBlossom ;)

Well done, Your turn ;)

It might be an easy one, but it's all I got.

That is the Abrams Explorer by the Acme Aircraft Corp.

Which I had never heard of but it has that nice serial number so it took 5 seconds to find.

So, since I know that's right for sure, my picture is the one the Russian is flying in my sig. Which is probably easy but I bet someone gets it wrong.

P-39 or P-61?

Wait, the P61 was the Black Widow. I'm thinking of the Airacobra and the King Cobra

P-39 was the airacobra the P-63 was the Kingcobra

Yes, it's the p-39 Airacobra, which were lend-leased to the Soviets by the US and used by some of their top aces. But you also made a wrong guess just as I predicted :-P

P 39

Bring on the next image! I'm determined to win at least one of these despite my somewhat inferior knowledge of plane models compared to you experts.:)

Try this one:

(Sorry, I fail at inserting images!)

I saw this plane in a museum that was about to close. It had just been wheeled in, so there wasn't a sign. It wasn't listed on the museum's website, so I had to track it down the old fashioned way.........

I blocked out the serial #, since I was able to ID it without that. ;)

Is it a Curtis produced plane? Or Grumman? I might have an idea, if it's either one of these producers. :D

It almost has to be a Grumman with that landing gear. Looks like a Wildcat front end mated to an Douglas SBD tail and Dehaviland Beaver wing. I want one.

That thing is like a Dauntles with wings on top.... it's awesome!

Right.. I think this is a Curtiss O-52 Owl.

Pre WWII observation plane.

Obscure!

I think you're right, it does look like an Owl. I saw a photo of one recently that had a different landing gear, but that could have been a later modification. The Wildcat gear looks very similar to your Owl and had an extremely slow and awkward retract mechanism, the pilot had to turn a hand crank about 500 zillion times to bring it up.

Here's a Blast from the Past. seen it on an episode of History Channel.
If you can't tell how bloody big this thing is, i suggest you make an apointment with a Docter.

what is it?

Me 323.

Correct! :grin: now it is your turn.

ok, finally worked out how to post images (noob) anybody know this one?
[IMG]http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/z...2_45_VL529.jpg[/IMG]

Correct me if im wrong but isnt that the heston JC6??

Or something along those lines

correct! over to you!

Ahh, so i was right :grin:

Ok here is my next submission.

http://www.collectair.com/images/wf2janes.jpg

Good luck ;)

Hello again... That one is the E-1 Tracer, I think it's a Grumman.

Try this one...

http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/z...teryplane2.jpg

aww i dont know
i have a brilliant one for when its my turn

Bell P-59 Airacomet

Yep... You're right.. Next?...Haitch let's see yours

How's this:

Its a tough one.

It must be a variant of the Horton??

Cant say for sure which variant mind

Good guess! Horten H3f, another great German sailplane from the 1930's. Almost makes you wonder what Germany could have accomplished if they hadn't been duped by the damn nazis.

Phew, didnt think id get that one ;)

Ideed, it would have been rather interesting to see what they would have come up with.

Ok here is my third submission.

Fairly easy one this time ;)

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TZ4zYEBSw1..._X_1_plane.jpg

Bell X-1

EDIT: d'oh im late

This whole thing is called ?

http://www.ww2incolor.com/d/340372-2...Bf109+F+_+Ju88

ju-88 mistel ;)

with a BF-109 G model for "guidance'.

It's fun to actually fly that thing in 1946. The idea is quite ridiculous: let's just fill up a plane with explosives and put another on top for guidance!

Very nice! back to you.

I've got another good one too.

what is the name of this french plane?

Arsenal VG 33?

yes!it is right p51
congratulations

Gotta wonder at the flying / engineering skill to handle a monster like that. Taxi and takeoff must have been a bitch! Maybe it was kinda like one of these, only much more terrifying:

Thanks! Now quite an easy one i think.
http://www.uboat.net/technical/images/fw200-1.jpg

FW-200 Condor

The radar is either for anti-shipping or night fighter missions, my guess is anti-shipping.

Actualy its for blind bombing.
Yup thats correct by the way! A FW 200C-6 'Condor' :cool:

Blind bombing of shipping LoL
That's the first pic of seen of an FW-200 w radar, very cool.

the name?

Japanese Betty?

no but u are rigth it is a bomber and also can be a night fighter

P1y1

Damn, to fast. :P

;), You can take the next go as im all out of ideas :)

very good!!!
yokosuka p1y1 ginga"frances"

what is the name?

No Idea... But it's U G L Y!

yes ugly!!!

how do you get pics off the net huge i can only attach them

is it a KI61 Hien (tony)?

It is the Mitsubishi "Harry" high altitude bomber interception fighter, which was intended to attack high flying B-29 and B-32 bombers. (The Convair B-32s only flew six missions before the war ended).

Only 50 "Harry"s were built and all were grounded eventually when the factory was totally destroyed by B-29s.

I have a picture in an old 1970's "Valiant" annual somewhere.

it is not a kawasaki ki61 and it is not a mitsubishi "harry"

wild guess dont think its right ki84 hayate?

Is it a Ki-44 "Tojo"?

it is not a ki44 and not a ki84 but it is the same builder:nakajima

last attempt still dont think its right ki43 or ki27?

not a ki43 and not a ki27

for help ,this plane is a prototype of the end of the war and never fight vs americans

Is it a Ki-116?

not a ki116

It's the Nakajima ki-87. Designed for high-altitude interception.

yes!!!!very good kozzm0!!!!right
nakajima ki87 kitai

This one has the name and serial # blocked out but it's still probably an easy one.

It would fly circles around the damn I-153.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...z/plane2-1.jpg

ahhhhh crap i hate this whenever im online i dont know the current plane whenever a plane i know is on i am offline lol
it looks like a highly modified cessna in my mind

hint: would a Cessna have a big Soviet-looking red star on it?

no
thats not my guess though

sukoi

i thought they were those prototype jets with wings bending forwards build to compete with the f22 raptor?

They are ;). Sukhoi is a manufacturer, like Boeing, or Supermarine.

Which Cessna does it remind you of? A single seat, low winged aerobat with a radial engine? That's a lot of mods :-P

It's a Sukhoi Su 31, here's a video with my kinda super model:

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoID=57556175

It could be a 172 with replaced wings, gear, fuselage, cockpit, tail, and... engine :D.

Ok, no more pickin' on Haitch :-P

This one is a Cessna, back when they still made pretty airplanes:

You're right! Sorry I took so long to respond. I forgot we were going camping when I posted that.

Cessna 165 aka C-34.

Good guess, but not quite. It's actually a C-195, very similar but with a bigger engine. A grand ol' bird from the days when men were men and big round engines drank a lot of gas :cool:

Here's another round engined beauty. Trust me, she flies as good as she looks!

maybe i was thinking of a very long extra 300?
i only realy know ww2 planes and i dont know every one of those
