Name This Plane...from the inside

[Tyr]

Try this one on for size.

 

[Flieger]

Welcome to the Lounge, Tyr!

Oh, I know this 'flower' very well, so I let someone else guess.

/F

 

[Tyr]

It's so purrty. And also has excessive deadliness.

 

[KilroyCD]

This one was a bit too easy...

It's the Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka ("Cherry Blossom"), otherwise known as the "Baka" flying bomb.

 

[Tyr]

Easy for YOU GUYS.

 

[KilroyCD]

Easy for YOU GUYS.

Well, yeah. An ex-girlfriend did once refer to me as an "airplane geek"...

 

[KilroyCD]

This should be an easy one...

Have a go at this one:

 

[Diamondback]

Didn't we see that one before? I'm having a weird feeling of deja vu... at least, I know the wheels are the same design, and the glasswork looks very similar...

 

[KilroyCD]

Nope, but you may have seen a "relative" to it...

 

[BigHairyFinn]

OK, no peeking at the link

 

[BigHairyFinn]

No peeking at the link II... now if someone gets that straight off they're gurus...

 

[Flieger]

Whoah! Jumping the que there, BHF!

First one is a Brewster

... and the second one is a Fokker D.XXI

No, I did not peek... I just have my sources (and some experience in these matters)

/F

 

[BigHairyFinn]

:eusa_clap I just am awestruck while the magic carpet flutters past...

 

[KilroyCD]

Have a go at this one:

Is anyone going to have a guess at mine?

 

[DutchIndo]

Me thinks PBY Catalina, it's a twin engine something.

 

[KilroyCD]

Me thinks PBY Catalina, it's a twin engine something.

You're right about twin engine, but wrong about PBY Catalina...

 

[Windsock]

Yep Catalinas throttles are overhead.

Looks very much like an early Gooneybird or DC-2 maybe?

 

[KilroyCD]

Not a DC-2 or Gooney, but getting warmer...

 

[Windsock]

Sorry Kilroy, this isn't very creative, but how about a C-39?

 

[KilroyCD]

Still warm, but not quite there.
