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.  

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:



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.

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

Is it a Bombardier-300?

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





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-**.

Yes, that's correct. 

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.

Don't worry, nobody's perfect.

Okay, here's the next picture...



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.

Yup, that's correct.

Its the Boeing 727. 

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.

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:)

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?

OK thanks,

Here goes

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



It Begins with B

B***** A*-**

Good luck, sorry if it is too easy 

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

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

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?

Thanks Lewie:)

Not nearly as much as you though:)

But thanks anyway mate:)

Lewie:)

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

Mooney Bravo M-20?

Great! 

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

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



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:





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.  

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:

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! 

Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon 

Yep, ive read the rules... 

Just give me some time to search one.

TheFinn

It was a random pic i picked up on Google

Glad to hear it

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

Okay, here is the next aircraft....



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...

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

BAE 146-200

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



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...

Yup, that's correct! 

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

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. 

What about you Lewie?

Sorry i have no idea you sure it is real?

Lewie8-)

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

Eventually i thing i know....

About time.

Beriev Be-10 / M-10?

Thanks Lewie8-)

Okay, here's the next one...



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

Yup, that's correct.

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

Here's the next one:



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:

Correct. 

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

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...



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

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

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

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... 

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....



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

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 **-* ********

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
