name this plane (for fun)

[kozzm0]

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.

[flynlion]

P-39 or P-61?

[flynlion]

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

[P-51]

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

[kozzm0]

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

[trk29]

P 39

[mattd27]

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.

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.

[flynlion]

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.
