Q12: Iron Mike. Mascot of the 317th Fighter/Intercept Squadron. Damn that one was tough. I had no idea.

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

Q15: No bypass...kinda small, weird internal spinner...I'm waiting until the next clue.
 
  • #103
B-52 is not a high bypass engine, but this engine looks too small for a 52.
 
  • #104
Hey, that's not a 707's engine is it?
 
  • #105
That's a weird-looking sucker, alright. Reminds me of something that I saw on a Vickers once, from the 50's or 60's...

Qu16: Looks a bit like the nose of a MIG 29 (or is it 25?) ut I'm not sure that would be in a USAF museum.
 
  • #107
No, its a B-1b
 
  • #108
Oh well. Its just that distinctive heat shielded kind of nose thing that I picked up on.

IIRC, the JT8's had bypass.

They are simliar to a 52, very very low bypass turbojets.

Q15: (double check #) J31.
 
  • #112
Q15: I'm waiting for hint #2 on this one. That inlet nose is driving me nuts.
 
  • #113
Smaller and wimpier than a J35, less primitive than a Whittle --- 'tis a puzzler.
 
  • #115
Cyrus has 3 points for the lancer.

Have I missed anyone? Sometime soon, I'll post cumulative scores...perhaps when I think we're about midway.
