Thanks to BlackWolf for letting me host one of these. Not sure I have come up with something as unique as a single somewhat obscure prototype, but here are somethings I stumbled upon the other day. I thought I’d go with a single aircraft, but I remember how fun the multiple aircraft ID quiz was from a while ago. So I went with BOTH! Some of you may get these right away. Figure everyone could use a confidence boost after the last quiz. And oh yes, being specific on the designations counts here for the multiple aircraft pic. A number of you will probably get the plane right in some cases, but have the wrong designation. As stated below in my respose to shrikes not looking for F-16C, just F-16 will do, but what is called an F-16 in ones backyard may not be in anothers. No partial credit in my class. [}:)] Can’t make this too easy. [;)]
OK. I changed my mind. But 5/6 is B; 4/6 is a C. And anything less will constitute a parent/teacher conference. No, I will not be grading on a curve.[:D]

Hey Great Uncle Charlie would have been 21 finally! Imagine having to wait 84 years to be able to legally puchase a six pack! [:0] And I thought being a December baby was tough.[:D]
If it were an F-16C the F-16 would be enough. But what is an F-16 in ones fleet may be called an *** in another’s fleet. [;)] Big hint. — Darnit! I just broke my rule of not posting hints.[]
No prob, I like being able to take a rest once in awhile! Besides, whether I know what the answer is or not, I usually wind up looking around for additional info on the bird(s) in question. That’s the real fun of this stuff for me. If only I could actually get paid to do this research thing, then I’d be in seventh heaven!
Tough one! I’m not all that certain about the correct aircraft names, because the same planes often had different designations, depending on the user, like you said. And I can’t even figure out the user of some of these aircraft! Well, gave it a shot. The second pic remains a big ? for me. Looks like a trial aircraft with fixed gear, but the cockpit has gone opaque, so it may have been sitting on that tarmac for quite some time. Old picture… looks maybe something the Argentines or Japanese would have botched together…Basically: not a clue! Could even be a model[%-)].
Thanks for getting the old grey matter going!
Expecting the worst, but hoping for the best as always. A true blue Cub fan. You can find me in Murchees Bleepher’s (Murphy’s Bleechers: Center field bar on Sheffield and Waveland across the street behind the bleechers at Wrigley) on any given weekend the Cubbies are in town.
It is in MLBs best interest that the Cubs and Red Sox meet in the World Series this year. The ratings plumeted when those two teams left the playoffs.
Oh. And Wood is what we got in Chicago! [:D] At least this year. [:(]
Finally, somebody from the good ol’ land of Lincoln!!! Tons of people are sun-cooked Californians it seems! And yes, Kerry Wood is NOT a 1940’s pitcher! (Just had to get that straight…)
