    Game
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.

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.

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.
