Okay. I thought only the Blue Angels flew the hookers, but like you say, maybe they left the hooks on the AF versions too.cyrusabdollahi said:
Can You Identify These Aircraft from Limited Clues?

Click For Summary
A user has initiated a game involving the identification of various aircraft, munitions, and space-related items through a series of clues, including photographs. Each question will have up to three clues, with participants allowed to guess only once per clue, earning points based on when they answer correctly. The game encourages interaction, with players discussing their guesses and clarifying clues, while also establishing rules to prevent guess editing and multiple submissions. The host plans to post multiple questions simultaneously and aims to keep the difficulty varied, starting with harder clues and potentially easing them as the game progresses. Overall, the discussion fosters a competitive yet engaging environment for aviation enthusiasts.

Perhaps its like the eurofighter where the Uk ordered them minus the canons and they tried all sorts of balast where the canons should be but it was too unstable. In the end they found that leaving the canons was the best option for not destabalising the plane in flight. I'm not sure the eurofighter could get any more unstable to be fair because it was delibarately designed with aerodynamic instabilities to make it more maneuvrable but inoperable without computer assistance. Weirdness.

AF versions didn't have carrier rated landing gear; they played around with the hooks and arresting gear on short runways --- not as a regular operational use.

Okay, here's the plan.
I've got another 8 questions or so at hand. I'm going to save 3 of those for some kind of a tie-breaker, if necessary (if there's an outright winner, I'll maybe just put them up anyways, but not for points). The 5 questions that I'm going to use for the last half-leg I'm going to put up in a single post - all 5 appearing at the same time.
So, I'm going to make sure Fred shows up. Then I take attendance, and when everyone's ready...up they come!
Are you folks okay with that are does anyone have plans for tonight?

Ah, welcome back loser. How was your alone time with Jane?
Youre going down. If I loose to a guy who called a C-133 a P-3 Orion, Ill hang myself.

Fred, did you read post#275 (and for good measure, catch up on stuff you may have missed), and are you okay with it?
Bystander & Kurdt, are you folks ready?
I'm going to give y'all about 5 minutes to get here; then I post a warning shot followed by the 5 question post within the minute.

Gah, I changed my mind. Sorry! I don't like the format of all 5 in one post. Then it comes down to you guys having to use logistical tricks to maximize your chance of scoring. So here's what I'll do instead:
Unless something goes wrong on my end, the first question (Q 36 Clue I) will appear at 11:00pm ET (by the PF clock). Every subsequent question will appear after exactly 3 minutes by the PF clock (11:03, 11:06,...).
So, we start in 3 minutes. Kapische?
