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.

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.

Just in case Cyrus' answer isn't good enough, let's call it a "zero angular moment impact wrench."

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.

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?
