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.

Har-har-har --- anyone got any ideas what to do with a Toshiba with loose connections in the touch pad? You clowns put up 13 posts while I was getting one "quick" reply to go through.

Ask Cyrus. He must have some kind of plastic cover over his with all the crying he's doing. His keyboard works fine.

Ah, is it used to test the space suits at low atmosphere?
(I know bystandard is going to chime in with an answer, he always gets the obscure stuff)

Gotta be the balloon capsule from which the record free-fall was made.

Kittinger.

Wrong again.

Let's see --- 2 pts. puts Fred in the lead? What's it worth to keep my mouth shut?

Correct Bystandard - 1 point. I like that name.

Retired from the "Natchional Byreau ofStandards" a while back --- but, don't think I'll change it just yet.

It looks like some sort of pneumatic torque wrench for space to tighten bolts.
 
  • #218
Just in case Cyrus' answer isn't good enough, let's call it a "zero angular moment impact wrench."
 
  • #219
looks like a silenced suicide gun for you and a friend.

It could be intended for space walks as a means of moving an astronaut that is floating.
Fantastic! It's a Reaction Propulsion Pistol.

3 points to Fred.

It's strange that both Cyrus and Bystander went with the Zero-G Power Wrench. Well, I guess that takes this picture out of the game then :

I think all of the wrenches that are not manual are electric. The dual ends on the other reminded me of the actual one seen tested on a space walk.

F-16 thunderbird.
Okay, you get the 3 points.

That was a trick question. The bird in the picture is actually an F-16A Fighting Falcon. It was received by the Thunderbirds before they officially adopted the F-16C (in fact, it was received by them before the C-variant existed, and the Thunderbirds were probably still flying Talons at the time). So, later, they repainted it with the Thunderbird colors.

But I'm not feeling mean enough to dock you for that.

(update, till Q30)

Code: 
[u]SCORES[/u] :

Bystander      20
Cyrus          30
Fred           31
Kurdt          3

This brings up the final leg. Game ends on Q40.

Dock me for what, it's an F-16 in a thunderbird paint scheme. :rolleyes:

Ahhhh. It's under the F-22

I figured it was an F-22, but the landing gear door looks different.

A joint srike fighter?
 
  • #241
JSF? mmmmm...could be. Not sure now.

That to me looks like a stabilizer. An F-22 and JSF have a one piece movable stab. That can't be the main wing, else were is the rest of the airplane behind it? What an odd picture. That's why I was hesitant to say F-22. Even JSF seems wrong now.

The chines on the other picture are what are making me say F22.
 
  • #244
Chines?
Similiar gear doors. I think its a 22...

But my vote is JSF (the lockheed model, not boeing)

Okay, my bad then. I just automatically associate the Thunderbirds with the F-16C.

As for the thing above the X-36...

Okay 2 points to Fred. I'm going to look up a drawing to make better sense of that other shot.
