With 2H4 letting the smoke clear, and taking time to collect his photos for the next round of "ID This", I'm willing to bet that a number of us here are not getting our recommended daily value of obscure aircraft, devious cropped shots, and stressful identification. That being said, I present to you...
Identify This: Freestyle Edition!
In this game, the rules are simple. This is the same old identification game that you've come to know and love, but with one twist: You get to try to trick the rest of the A.Net community with your own crazy shots or strange aircraft!
Here's a few quick guidelines I'd like to lay down though, so this thread doesn't get too unwieldy...
Guesses will be posted in this thread. No need to go through PMs or Email, since this is open for everyone!
If you have identified a photo, try to post another one to replace it, just to keep the game moving.
Once a photo has been identified, don't identify it again. (feel good that you know it...but keeping duplicate posts down can eliminate clutter!)
If you have multiple photos you would like to contribute, don't post them all at once...let everyone have some time to mull the first one over before you stump them again!
If you have added a photo, it's always good to post a correct answer once it has been identified (or if everyone's stumped, don't be cruel about it, let us know what it is )
Finally,
Everyone is welcome to contribute! Post pictures, give guesses about others! The whole point here is for everyone to have fun, and maybe learn a thing or two along the way!
So, I suppose I'll start it off. A relatively easy shot compared to those of 2H4, but it's a start.

Well...close, but not quite. There's not much there to show it, but that isn't just a plain old 707...
And, since the A.Net photo uploads don't seem to be working well at the moment, for anyone that needs somewhere to put photos, I'd suggest either Photobucket or Imageshack. They're free, and work fine for this purpose if you need somewhere to stick a picture.
And, here's another quick one for everyone to take a look at. (I'll need to start digging for some hard ones tomorrow...)

Quoting HangarRat (Reply 23): Quoting AeroWeanie (Reply 12):

Wrong.
Any other guesses?
I did this in too much of a rush. Its actually a Piasecki PV-15 H-16 Transporter. I grabbed the wrong Transporter off the list.
What is this:
25 N231YE: Something an EAAer like me should know, but don't!
26 9VSIO: Something like a Long-EZ, maybe a turbine version?
27 KELPkid: A cross between a Long-EZ and Luke Skywalker's X-Wing fighter, that's what
29 AeroWeanie: Since my last image seems to not be identified, I'll leave it for 2H4 to use in his next quiz. Here is another one to ponder:

32 KPWMSpotter: Ohh...right. I should have got that. So it goes. Here's a little bit of a different angle on a common one...
34 Scooter01: Since I'm not really into helicopters and I believe I owe you a pic, I give you this: Scooter01
35 AeroWeanie: Yes! The cockpit is a Sikorsky MH-60S Knighthawk. It has the backup gauges in a T, while the UH-60M has them stacked vertically. I'm working on the b

41 AeroWeanie: 2H4's nose comes first, but here is another for people to ponder (a clue - its not a homebuilt!):

44 EMBQA: I grew up in Brunswick..... that was an easy one... and flew out of PWM a few hundred times.
45 2H4: Nice job! Now on to AeroWeanie's Skymaster/Long EZ spawn.... 2H4
46 AeroWeanie: Just to give you all something more to ponder (and possibly a sleepless night), here is another one, an airplane that has long intriuged me:
49 Mark5388916: I want to say OV-10 but the front end is just odd....
50 2H4: Convair/General Dynamics Model 48 Charger! 2H4
51 AeroWeanie: Wow - that was fast! How about this:
52 2H4: It's an F-400 Cobra, but I've never been able to confirm who built it. I think it was General Avia, but Procaer might have also been involved. 2H4
54 AeroWeanie: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-8 Utka! Here is a really difficult one. 2H4 is disqualified on this one, as I sent him the picture a while back:
55 AeroWeanie: Wow - I thought people were going to think it was the Jet Squalus! Well done! Anyone for this one?:
56 AeroWeanie: Here is one for those interested in helicopters:
57 9VSIO: Looks like a UAV with a guy along for the ride!
58 AeroWeanie: It is - the guy is a safety pilot, who told me that he twice grabbed the controls and saved it when the flight control system failed. The question is
59 AeroWeanie: Yipes! I didn't mean to bring this to a halt. Here is one that should be a little easier:
60 AirKas1: It's probably not, but it looks a lot like a Twin Otter. I have no idea what it is.
61 Scooter01: It is the DHC STOL OTTER -probably following the single engine version. Scooter01
62 2H4: Yep - Otter 3682, c/n 40. Here's another shot: Sorry....homey don't play that. 2H4
63 AeroWeanie: Scooter01 and 2H4 got it! As to the UAV with the guy on its back, thats Doug Shane acting as safety pilot on the first Scaled Composites 226 Quiver/Ra
64 2H4: Wow, a very rare shot of a Boeing YL-15 Scout. Nice. 2H4
66 AeroWeanie: I'll be nice and play by the rules. Regarding #24, #54 and #55, people should look here: http://stargazer2006.online.fr/

68 Francoflier: huh...? The result of a threesome between a HA-200, a Yak-17 and a cessna 402? (Must have been a fair amount of vodka in the Jetfuel that day...)

75 Oly720man: OK, one from me I'll be back to check later (if the home broadband will let me)

78 AeroWeanie: 2H4 has finally given up on #41. Its the Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical 410 UAV with a safety pilot flying it. TRA could have had the GA-AASI Predator mar
79 2H4: I can't confirm it right now, but I think it might be an IPTN CN-295. Here's one for you: 2H4
82 AeroWeanie: Yes, #78 is the now defunct IPTN N250 Isn't #79 the Bell 206 mod done by that guy from Chile, Carlos Cardoen, who was busting US sanctions on Iraq in
83 2H4: Might that be an Emery DC-8? I could be proven wrong, but to the best of my knowledge, the helicopter pictured has no link with Chile or the Bell 206
84 Scooter01: - not just might, it is! The two-seat tandem helicopter (#79) is the CH-14 Aguilucho made by Agusto Cicare of Argentina It's too early in the morning
88 2H4: Well, it's either a Let 145 or an Aero 145, but offhand, I don't know how to differentiate between the two. Are there any visual differences between
89 Sovietjet: I'll give you a clue...it's neither one
91 Sovietjet: Correct...here's another one for you
92 AeroWeanie: To be specific, #81 is either a DC-8-62 or DC-8-63. Only the long cowl 60 series aircraft had these vents. #91 is a Yak-25 #86 looks so easy, but it i
96 Sovietjet: Nope that's not it that would be way too easy
97 2H4: Thought I'd get lucky without having to look it up. I'll leave it for someone else. 2H4
98 AeroWeanie: #94 appears to me to be a Hungarian built Yak-18 (Fürj) built by SportÃÂÂÃ
99 Sovietjet: Good guess....but still not correct . The Yak-18 is visibly a bit longer, and the rudder hinge is in a different spot, like you said. The wing profile

107 P3Orion: Could it be at the Fryeburg Fair? or how about the parking lot to Len Libby's?
108 Sovietjet: Another clue...there are two pictures of it on a.net  Around 160 were built [Edited 2007-12-05 20:10:16][Edited 2007-12-05 20:11:54]
109 Sovietjet: It also was produced in two versions...I posted the modernized version of it before, here is base model. The main difference is the engine.
110 AeroWeanie: It turned out to be a completely new one for me: a Lazarov LAZ-7M!
111 Sovietjet: Very good. May I ask how you got to the answer?
113 2H4: Here's an interesting one: Let's have the full designation, though.... 2H4
114 Vzlet: It's actually been in the news several times in the last couple of months. #113: YE-5A

116 AeroWeanie: I continued on my hunch that it might be an Eastern European design. This gave me a list of Bulgarian training aircraft: http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/
119 AeroWeanie: #117 is the Northrop Tacit Blue! Any guesses on #116?
120 AeroWeanie: As no one has guessed on #116, here are some clues: the photo was not taken in the US and the airplane is the product of someone who later became a fa

156 Rfdramp: The bottom one I knew was a Bell product due to the rotor setup so that was a simple Google search away. The other one had me going for a little bit.

242 2H4: Well done, sir....you've solved a database mystery! 2H4
243 Oly720man: Not guilty...... someone else seems to have found out what it was and changed the photo details.
244 2H4: Well, perhaps they saw your answer, confirmed it, and then updated the photo information. 2H4
245 Oly720man: It was changed sometime last week. Can't remember the day, but I was checking museum lists and came back to the photo and found it had been changed.
246 Scooter01: A bit off topic, but how FAST does an update take? -Last week, don't remember which day, but it was the same day this pic was uploaded, View Large Vi
247 2H4: It depends on a lot of things. Straightforward updates, like the addition of serial numbers or updated comments from the photographer him/herself are
248 Brenintw: Aviation-safety also indicates the aircraft was lost 11 months before the photo is alleged to have been taken: http://aviation-safety.net/database/re
249 2H4: Ok, the date has been corrected. Thanks for pointing it out. 2H4
250 Scooter01: -No problem... Hint: It's NOT a Beriev Scooter01
251 Rfdramp: I noticed that while trying to find it. This one is driving me nuts because I feel like I've actually seen it someplace, but I can't remember where.
252 Oly720man: Ah, someone else with that feeling!
253 Scooter01: You have probably seen similar shapes on other aircraft.... Scooter01
254 AeroWeanie: #241 - Originally, I thought "Soviet". I leafed through Gunston's "The Encylopedia of Soviet Aircraft" without finding anything. Late this afternoon,

259 Scooter01: Nope... I'm not sure the wheel on top of the wreckage-pile has anything to do do with it.... Scooter01
261 KPWMSpotter: Well, after this long and not even a guess, I suppose I'll tell the interesting story behind this plane. If anyone was about to say a cross between a

281 Oly720man: That's the one.... Wasn't one of yours for the next "ID this" was it??

289 Aviopic: ok I'll add one. Looks a bit like the F.25(double tail boom and push prop) but isn't.
291 Aviopic: Yeeh.... is there anything you don't know We'll have one flying in about 5 years

294 Alaska737: Heres my two, both are pretty easy.
295 Z660192: Sorry for the late return, didn't anticipate the thread coming to life again. Just had an urgent itch to solve the #230 riddle. Here you go then:
296 Z660192: On 294: The red G-BRIK is a Tipsy T.66 Nipper 3: easy google search: http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1081919/ the second one is the undercarriage of a Gr
297 Z660192: Yep, 294 is the N789, a Grumman Goose G21A. Nice plane. No one wants to guess the black interior? Bit fed up with landing gears so i'll skip 293 (unle
298 Z660192: Had a look at #293, it kinda looked stealthy to me, so after some searching: it's a F-22 Raptor. Bigger version of the black interior:
299 Z660192: No guessers? let's add some clues then: it's a photo of a coldwar plane, only the nose section survived. Look closely to the right side of the photo
300 Z660192: This is the pilot's place, not the same aircraft but the same type:
301 Litz: Correct! This beauty, fresh out of the factory, was on display at this fall's Marietta/Dobbins Air Show. Unedited picture (note the complete lack of
302 Scooter01: I have a very strong feeling that we are dealing with the English Electric Canberra Scooter01
303 Oly720man: I think you're right. The B(I)8 version with the offset cockpit.

310 Scooter01: That was the easiest one Grumman F7F Tigercat Scooter01
311 ZuluAviator994: Correct X3, now what about the 2nd one?
312 Z660192: Ha, the topic is alive again! The 'blackroom' indeed a Canberra, to be exact the nose part of WH903 (EE Canberra B.2) Its the space for the navigators
313 2H4: Ok, since nobody is posting a new shot, here's a fun one: 2H4
314 Z660192: ZuluAviator994: is the strut #2 from a Spitfire or Hurricane?
315 2H4: Whoops. I forgot there was a remaining unidentified shot. Sorry about that. 2H4
316 HaveBlue: Looks very similiar to a Piper Apache except the engine cowls don't have the 'breather' underneath... and that would be too easy of an airplane.
317 N6238P: I was thinking along the lines of that too but the gear is all wrong. I'm thinking along the lines of something like a Twin Navion but still, the gea
318 ZuluAviator994: From A British WW2 Hornet (Sorry, Can't Recall the exact Designation, I've had a Rough Day :/ )

339 Rwessel: Looks like a four place 150 - so Cessna 160?
340 2H4: No, the 160 had a castoring nosewheel and wing struts that were mounted behind the cabin doors... 2H4

347 Oly720man: Yes I thought it was a Citation of some description but just didn't get it at first. OK, here's mine culled from the internet. It never flew so wheth
348 Z660192: It's a Yakovlev Yak-1000 Had a strange feeling it could be russian or english, probably from around the breaking of the sound barrier. Very interestin
349 Oly720man: It is indeed. Well done. From here... http://www.aviastar.org/air/russia/yak-1000.php Seen it before......but where??? It's the Miles M39B Libellula
350 Z660192: Correct on the Miles! the new pic looks like an impregnated version of the Northrop YB-49
