AI Thread 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.

That is the jet engine(s) of a B-52 bomber, right wing inner pylon.

Edit: No, it's not. The wing's too low and small.

Nice comeback, give him the points on the ICBMS! The fact that he named all of them is impressive to say the least. I just named one and said ICBMs (Though I was first).

But the spitfire is MINE! :devil:

You have redeemed yourself, for now...

Mr. Cyrus, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Okay, where are we ?

Q5. That's a Spitfire Mk Vc - perhaps the most numerously made Spitfire. Some of these were piloted by the Aussies (pretty poorly, I might add), in the Pacific Theater. It is very close to the Mk II and Mk III in airframe design.

Bystander had the right mark, but 3 points go to Cyrus.

Q6. from left to right, we have: Jupiter (IRBM), Thor (IRBM), Titan II (ICBM), Titan I (ICBM) and Thor Agena A (orbital launch vehicle) - I was looking for two or more correct identifications (or equivalent description).

3 points to Bystander

Q7. This is the AC-130 Spectre, as correctly identified by Fred. It's basically, a Hercules modified into a gunship. The bird in the picture is named Azrael - Angel of Death (I had to paint over the name) and saw combat in Desert Storm

Q8. Yep, that's the B-45, alright - the first 4-engine jet bomber. I don't think any of them saw combat, though the RB-45 version performed recon flights over Korea.

Here's the big picture:

Question 10, Clue #1. I'll take a shot at this one. It looks like the T9E1 75mm autoloader from the B-25G Mitchell.

The bottom one looks like a cannon assembly from an AC-130...which one I don't know...yet

Q11 Wouldn't happen to be the boeing bird of prey would it?
 
  • #77
Wow, bravo on that one! I have never even seen that aircraft.
 
  • #78
I couldn't tell you any of the modern fighters and bombers etc but World war two craft and X-series type craft are about all I'm good at.

Gokul43201 said:
Danger, you got the 75mm autoloading cannon right, but sadly, no points with that.
I realize that. The question was to get one of them right, and Fred beat me to it. No prob. :biggrin:

Not to get too far off topic --- just watched the entire Provider belly-landing scene from "Air America" in "Project Viper" on Sci-Fi --- the "recycling" craze has gone too far.

Up until Iron Mike, I was. I hate leaving things unanswered.
