Manhigh gondola.
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.
 
Bystander said:
Let's see --- 2 pts. puts Fred in the lead? What's it worth to keep my mouth shut?
:smile: We don't need to gang up on poor old Cyrus now.

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?
