F-102, you clown.
Well, the ugly clown is right. It's the Dart not the Dagger. The F-106 has a slightly different cockpit, a bigger engine and the fin and rudder shapes are also different from the 102.

3 points to Fred.

It's so worth it when someone makes just the mistake you were hoping they would. :biggrin:

As opposed to the guy that posted a picture of the wrong answer thinking it was right? You do need help.

I will buy you Janes guide for christmas, (not the edition you already own, the newer one, Collectors Edition), just for you.

P3 Orion.......(shakes head)

What do you even say to that?

Because we all know the P-3 Orion, a LOW wing airplane, looks just like the C-133 with its HIGH wing......aye caramba!

Correct - the Cargomaster (it's the one that broke all kinds of speed and weight records for a transport plane) .

3 points, Cyrus.

Fred, I'm hardly likely to find an Orion in an Airforce Museum! Besides, the nose section is wrong and the wings are too high for an Orion.

Yes I agree, he's a buffoon.

Make sure you get the updated UAV section for yourself.

Hence the term SWAG...I did forget about the Air Force part though.

Q27: XB-70 escape pod. Or maybe one of Dr. Who's castoffs. Or maybe Mrs. D2.

Q28: F-106, Delta Dart.

Q29: Satellite recovery bird.

Hey man, I was off by a later model. Your answer was so far off mark, you should be deducted 3 points!

Seriously, P3 Orion!? What ever your smoking, stay on it so I can whip your arse.

And that x-36 was not a UAV, it had a cockpit. Do you not understand the concept of UAV? (Hint: Unmanned)

HINT: It was a 28% scale model. Even someone with your tiny little brain would fit in there. It was a demonstrator braniac.

Yes, that was, but the airplane, the x-36, would have been full scale. DARRRRRRRRRRR

There was no such plan for a full sized x-36 Einstein.

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?
