If its OK with Captain Sim, I would like to start  the Aircraft Name Game 2. Now, whether your new or not, it doesn't matter. Everyone is allowed to play.  ;) Now, this time the rules are different, so let me make them clear:



1. Someone shows a picture of an aircraft (helicopters count too), and then someone has to say the name of it. If he gets it right he will post another picture of his choice. Then someone has to guess it and add another picture and so on and so on.

2. The Points will be collected at the end of the game, once a certain number of posts have been posted. If someone gets the name of an aircraft right, they get a point. The person with the most points wins!

3. The game ends once we reach 100 posts, or if the game is no longer played.

4. The person posting the picture is allowed to give hints, such as....

• It begins with B
  
• Its made by Lockheed Martin
  
• The aircraft is a Boeing ***-300
  

Its up to the person to decide what the hint will be, but that dose not mean he must give one.

5: Don't cheat by tracking the URL.  ::) Picture posters, check the picture links to make sure the aircraft name isn't in there before posting it.

6: Don't be crafty, we must be able to see the entire aircraft.  ;D

7: You can post more than 1 picture, but try to keep the picture number low please.

8: The most important one: HAVE FUN!  :)

------------------------------------------------------------

So, with that out of the way, lets begin. We will start with this aircraft:

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/707%20Professional/NOCHEATING.jpg

HINT: It begins with the letter F, this military aircraft is employed in air forces around the world. Its codename is named after an animal and its full name is mentioned somewhere in this forum.

f-5e tiger?

Correct. :) Now its your turn. Find a picture of an aircraft, post it and we'll guess the name.

Not sure how to keep people from cheating
the manufacturer starts with a b
and the aircraft is a **********-300

www.airliners.net/photos/middle/5/8/0/1255085.jpg

Is it a Bombardier-300?  

close enough, bombardier challenger 300, I messed up with the *s, I should have put the manufacturer and then *s for the plane type

Okay, so we both get a point. So, here's the next picture...

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/707%20Professional/X.jpg

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/707%20Professional/X-2.jpg

HINT: This plane is from the USAF 'X Program'. This was one of the most advanced and complex plane ever built, capable of going beyond MACH 5.9, 7438 km/p (almost 6 times faster than the seed of sound). It is incapable of tacking-off, and was always launched from a specially modified B-52 Stratofortress. It's name is X-**.

X-15?
is that a good enough answer?
not sure if it is correct.

Yes, that's correct.  ;)

www.airliners.net/photos/middle/9/3/5/0891539.jpg
Business Jet made by a popular general aviation company
the manufacturer has 6 letters in the name.

Hmm.... looks a lot like a Cessna 525A Citation Jet CJ1 (or CJ2), but you said only 5 letters for the manufacturer. Can you check that please.

Sorry your correct, I messed up, I counted 6 and accidentally put 5.

Don't worry, nobody's perfect.

Okay, here's the next picture...

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/707%20Professional/E3aLanding.jpg

HINT: This aircraft is the military version of the Boeing 707. Its name is *-*A ****** AWACS (Aerial Warning And Control System). It is used during battle and monitors the situation. Its main purpose it to tell friendly pilots where the bogeys (enemy) is and what their doing. It can also alert the pilot if a missile is coming towards him, and tell him where to brake.

Boeing E-3A Sentry AWACS?

Yup, that's correct. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

www.airliners.net/photos/middle/8/1/6/1235618.jpg
free point, pretty easy

Its the Boeing 727.  ;)

Oops, sorry I forgot to add another aircraft picture . [smiley=tongue.gif]

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/SU-47_VERT.jpg

Okay, this is a Russian aircraft. It was made by the aircraft company 'Sukhoi'. It is an experimental aircraft which can also be referred to as a fighter, although only 1 aircraft is under flyable conditions. This aircraft's performance is only limited to the skill of the pilot. It is very advanced, has incredible manoevering and payload. However, it is very unstable at supersonic speeds. Its name is S*-** CODENAME B*****

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/SU-47_walls.jpg

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/SU-47_1601.jpg

OH OH OH!!! i think i know (i hope i am right)

Is it the SU-47?
sorry i dont know its code name:(

Lewie.

That's correct. The codename is Berkut. ;)

Now its your turn. You know the rules, right? (If you don't, just look at the first page. ;))

DOH!!! i should have kown that:) Thanks

I think i understand them:

I give 2 pictures, the Manufacturer and any other clue i want to?

Thanks, Lewie:)

Yup, but you don't have to give 2 pictures. 1 will do. Its up to your really.  ;)

OK thanks i wil give it a go...

If i use photobucket which Address do i use?

E-mail & IM

Direct Link

HTML Tag or

IMG code?

Use Direct Link.  ;) Do you know airliners.net ? They have tons of aircraft pictures.  :)

OK thanks,

Here goes http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee151/Lewie737/AH-64.jpg

It is a Helicopter that is built by one of the biggest Airliner Manufacturers.

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee151/Lewie737/ah64-apache.jpg

It Begins with B

B***** A*-**

Good luck, sorry if it is too easy  ;)

Hehe, I'm a pro at military aircrafts / helicopters / hardware.

Its the AH-64 Apache, a rotary-wing attack helicopter, used a lot of by the US Army. The AH-64 was made by Hughes, McDonnell Douglas and Boeing (sector IDS). Since its introductions in 1976, around 1,000 units were made. The prototype was the Model 77/YAH-64. The Apache has seen a lot of action during its history, especially during the Vietnam War.

It uses a lot of advanced computer systems, such as TADS/PNVS systems, GPS and the IHADSS.



Oops, sorry, got a little bit carried away there. Let me find a good picture and I'll post it.  ;)

WELL DONE MATE!! ;)

Dont worry about putting alot of detail i dont mind i like to learn these kind of things:)

i didn't know wether or not it was too easy to work out:(

Thanks, Lewie 8-)

Quote:

i didn't know wether or not it was too easy to work out

It was a good choice, but the thing is that I know a lot of military stuff, so its kinda easy for me.  ;D But thanks for using Military aircrafts.  :)

Thanks and no problem anytime i will occasionally use Military just to make sure u are on your game:) ;)

Okay, here is the next picture:

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/AIR_B-2_Overflight_lg.jpg

This is one of the most powerful bombers in the world. Also referred to as the 'Stealth Fighter', this aircraft was made by Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. The stealth technology used in this aircraft is incredible. It can carry about 336,500 LB of bombs, which is about 60 bombs, each the size of a car (and bigger). The cost of 1 of those aircrafts around 2.5 billion, which is why only 5 aircrafts exist. They are all stored at Edwards Air Force Base, which is home to one of the world's longest runway.

Its size means it can also carry nuclear weapons. Its name is *-*A *****

Here are some more pictures:

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/B-2_Spirit.jpg

OOOOOOO a toughy but i think it is a B-2A Spirit ;)

Am i right when i say that it is stealthy because there is no right angles any where on the plane? 8-)

Thanks Lewie:)

That's correct. You know a bit about military aircrafts too then.  ;)

Not nearly as much as you though:) ;)

But thanks anyway mate:)

Lewie:)

Thanks. Looking forward to your next aircraft.  :)

No problem i will need to think of a god one first:)

Just a quick question i dont think it is a tech problem so i will just ask i here ;-)

If i buy the 757captain and the confimation e-mail goes onto a computer that FSX isnt installed on (the password for the e-mail addres is saved onto that computer) can i transfer it onto my Laptop that does have FSX installed?

This isnt urent but if you could tell me it would be gratly appreciated:)

Thanks again Lewie ;D

sorry here is my next one:

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee151/Lewie737/mooney_bravo.jpg

A single prop General Aviation plane

It is one of the fastest single prop planes there is:)

The manufacturer starts with M

And the model starts with B         M*****-B**** M-**

Mooney Bravo M-20?

Well Done mate i couldnt think of aything else:)

Thanks Lewie:)

Great!  :)

Okay, I'll find another aircraft picture....

Cool 8-)

Okay, this is a classified aircraft, so its gonna be hard....

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/blackairplanes_ss_4.jpg

This aircraft is a top-secret United States Air Force Black Project. It is a hyper-sonic stealth fighter, thought to be a UAV, or UCAV (Unmanned Combat Areal Vehicle). In the 1990s, a sonic boom was recorded near a location where it was sighted. The electronic instruments predicted that it was going above MACH 11.4 (11 times faster than the speed of sound). Most aircrafts don't even go above MACH 2.

The other sighting was by satellite. A group of scientists were looking at the pacific ocean, until they saw a huge white line being drawn across the sky. When they zoomed in, the object was going so fast that it was impossible to get a good lock on it. They say it crossed the pacific ocean in just a few minuets. They estimated that the aircraft had to be going above MACH 13. It was only reveled to the public by an accidental leak of a secret project, codenamed A*****. The spending on it was twice the cost of 1 atomic bomb.

Its codename is A*****

Here are more pictures:

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/aurora3.jpg

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/aurora.jpg

This is a hard question. This is one of the aircrafts that has fascinated me the most. The few people who saw it described it as a barely noticeable object, as if a shooting star.

If you can't get it, its OK. I'll just do another one.  ;)

I have got absolutely no idea:(

Okay, I'll give you another hint. You know the Northern lights? Those light things at the bottom. Well, the aircraft's name is another thing in which you call them:

http://www.astronomy.com/asy/objects/images/aurora_shooting_star_500.jpg

OH Aurora? (the northern lights are Aurora Borealis)

Am i right thanks for the clue by the way:)

Thanks lewie:)

Yes, that's right!  :)

The Aurora is truly a fascinating aircraft. To think that we have managed to make something that can go more than 13 times the speed of sound. That is 16094 km/p!  :o

Sorry for the wait:(

But here is my next photo:

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee151/Lewie737/F16.jpg

It is ued by many Air Forces all over the world

L******* M***** F-** F******* F*****

Good luck:)

Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon  ::)

Well done mate:)Your turn:)

I take it u know the rules?

Thanks, Lewie 8-)

Yep, ive read the rules...  ;)

Just give me some time to search one.

TheFinn

That looks a lot like the F-16C variant. You can tell by the hardpoints on the mainframe.  ;)

Anyway, that's 1 point to you Finn. Looking forward to your next post. :) Search airliners.net if you want some ideas. ;)

It was a random pic i picked up on Google ;D

That's what your military genius is here for. ;)  ;D

Glad to hear it :) 8-) ;)

ok, here is my picture;

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd264/TheFinn88/lol.jpg

I dont give you any hints at the moment. Only if you dont get it after a time, ill give you some hints.  ::) ;)

(Otherwise it is too easy, i think)

TheFinn

That is the Ilyushin Il-62, and by the looks of its engines I would say it is the MK variant.  ;)

Dont know the exact variant, but its a IL-62.  8-)

Okay, here is the next aircraft....

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/yal-1a_airborne-laser_041213-f-0000.jpg

This aircraft is based on the Boeing 747. Its name is the ***-**. It was made to use an experimental ABL (Airborne Laser) which is capable of shooting down incoming ballistic missiles. It has pin-point accuracy and can shoot a AIM-132 ASRAAM. A version of it has already been made, and the ABL is operational. They are currently passing test trails, and will be put into service soon.

Here are more pictures...

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/Ace%20Combat%20Zero%20The%20Belkan%20War/SoldierTech_ABL4.jpg

It took me a while to find it but;

Is it the Boeing 747-400 YAL-1A?

Yup, that's correct. Its from the USAF 'YAL-1 Program'. Can't wait for it to go into operational service!  :)

Yeah it looks amazing,

Here is my next one:

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee151/Lewie737/BAE146-200.jpg

Built by British Aerospace B**-***-***

Its simple, and not military, sorry Pash Master

But good luck everyone

Thanks, Lewie 8-)

BAE 146-200

Well done mate:)

Thanks, Lewie 8-)

Sorry for the late reply. Here's the next aircraft...

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/707%20Professional/V-22-1.jpg

This is a rotary-wing transport aircraft made by Boeing and Bell. It was made to replace the Bell XV-15. It is the fastest helicopter ever built, and is capable of rotating its engines. It does not contain any weapons, and is mostly used for transport but 1 or 2 versions have been made where it is equipped with a gallet gun. The United States Marine Corps and Air Force use a specially modified version which can enter into 'silent mode'. This is when the engine's propellers rotate and make almost no sound at all, making it a stealth aircraft! Even if you where under it while it is in silent mode, you would barely hear it making it an idea aircraft for covert operations. Its name is the *-** ******

Here are more pictures...

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/707%20Professional/v-22.jpg

V-22 Osprey

Yup, that's correct!  :)

Heres my second;

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd264/TheFinn88/lol2.jpg

I think I know its name, but I might be confusing it with another one. Can you give me a hint please.  ::)  :)

B***** B*-**

Hmm, that's strange. The name you gave me matches an aircraft very similar to it, but it was never made. Its just a blueprint, that was declassified a few years after WWII. Yet your picture shows a real aircraft, not a blueprint, which is why I'm confused. Can you re check the spelling, because right now I have no idea.  :o

What about you Lewie?

Its also called B***** M-**

The spelling is correct.

Sorry i have no idea you sure it is real?

Lewie8-)

No idea here as well. Can you tell us the manufacturer so that I can see if you are talking about that other plane I mentioned.

The manufacturer is the Beriev Aircraft Company (formerly Beriev Design Bureau).

Ah, okay now I know. Its not the one I was thinking of, its another USAAF plane..... the Beriev Be-10. Now that I remember, it looks like a Be-10M variant, but I may be mistaken.

Eventually i thing i know.... :)

About time.

Beriev Be-10 / M-10?

Thanks Lewie8-)

correct

Okay, here's the next one...

http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/transport-m/c5/c5_01.jpg

The name is *-* ******

Maybe a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy?

Yup, that's correct.

I want to know the bigger one from this picture;

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd264/TheFinn88/lol700.jpg

The tanker aircraft is a KC-97L Stratofreighter, and the fighter aircraft is an F-4D Phantom II.

yup

Here's the next one:

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/707%20Professional/febNewsD8.jpg

Its the *-**** *********. A stealth aircraft which was originally a USAF Black Project. Made by Lockheed Martin. One unit costs about $125 Million.

More pictures here:

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Picture-Editor/707%20Professional/sunderland01_11.jpg

F-117A Nighthawk

Correct.  ;)

cheeese... Forgot to post a new one!  :-/

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd264/TheFinn88/lol777.jpg

Its a B-17 Flying Fortress. And by the looks of it I would say it is the B-17G variant.

B-17 is correct, but in my opinion its a F-version, because the G got a bendix chin turret... And this one dont have this turret.  ;)

Oh yeah, your right. I was looking at the landing gear size because the Gs were know to have bigger front gears than the other B-17s. Nice view.  ;) Okay, next aircraft...

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/9054/yf23.jpg

This is the **-*** ***** ***** **

YF-23 Black Widow II

Both ever built planes on one pic, nice!

Yup. That was an easy one.  ;D Too bad the program was cancelled.

Heres my next pic:

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd264/TheFinn88/asdf.jpg

Its the De Havilland DH-106. From the size of the hull, I would say its either the Comet 4C or 4B variant.

Its a 4B, because the 4C got additional fuel-tanks mounted to the wings...  ;)

That's what I thought at first, but the fuel tanks are stored under the wings, so it was hard to see from this angle. Anyway, I'll get the next picture...  ;)

No, they are mounted in front of the wings;

http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1279970/M/

;D

Actually, airlines could decide if they wanted them in the front or under the wings, near the engines. It was a cheaper installation. I don't know if any where made like that those, they had to declare it to the FAA, but I don't know if they approved it or not.

Okay, next plane....

http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/systems/images/rq-1_040120-f-9629j-009.jpg

This is a UCAV. It is also a technological test demonstrator aircraft.

Hello again, sorry i haven't posted in a while :(

I think it is Surveillence Drone, but i dont know the correct name for it.

Thanks, Lewie8-)

Hi again  :)

Not exactly, its a UCAV. Some variants were designed as UAVs though. Surveillance drones are know as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) are combat drones. There are tons of variants made, and a lot of research and testing is going on with it. Its name is the **-* ********

Maybe RQ-1 Predator?

Yes, that's correct.

We've just hit 100 post in this topic. Normally, this should be the end of the game. But since its going so well, if you want we can keep going. Its up to you guys.

If you want to stop, I'll count the scores, and we can start the Aircraft Game 3

Hey mate, :)

I dont mind if you start a new game. i think now would be a good ime to restart because TheFinn needs to post a new aircraft. But it is up to you.

Thanks, Lewie8-)

Okay then, we are making a new game. Let me count the scores...

Okay, here are the scores:

---------------------------------------------

1st: Pash Master (11)
2nd: TheFinn (7)
3rd: Lewie612 (5)
4th: wabash10 (3)

---------------------------------------------

Well done everyone, it was a good game. The next aircraft name game will be MUCH harder. The rules will be very different, and guessing aircraft names will also be harder. We'll see how it goes.  ;)

Ok mate looking forewad to the nxt game:)

Thanks, Lewie8-)
