| Quoting 2H4 (Reply 300): Upon reading it, I cursed him out loud, thinking he gave the answer away to everyone. Fortunately, nobody took him very seriously. Well, nobody except for Bengan. biggrin |
| Quoting Rampkontroler (Reply 299): Pertaining to the XPA-33 Comanche, could someone please post a link to some further info on this bird? |
| Quoting Lowrider (Reply 283): So that is what happens when a Piper Comanche has its way with a DeLorean. |
| Quoting 2H4 (Reply 300): Fortunately, nobody took him very seriously. Well, nobody except for Bengan. |
. . looks like the actual entrance to The 2H4 Vault of Brilliant Things . . . .

| Quoting Rampkontroler (Reply 308): I wonder where the other door goes? |
| Quoting Starglider (Reply 309): To the lavatories. The flight deck is accessed via a ladder to the left: |
| Quoting Rampkontroler (Reply 310): Quoting Starglider (Reply 309): To the lavatories. The flight deck is accessed via a ladder to the left: Thanks for that. I was thinking it was yet another portal to 2H4's vault! |
Indeed. That one and the Stargate in Cheyenne Mountain. | Quoting Rampkontroler (Reply 310): I was thinking it was yet another portal to 2H4's vault! I'm sure you guys have already seen this, but just in case, here was the landing in August of the last airworthy example at Travis AFB where it will be put on display: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmA-oq6-rPA Would LOVE to have seen that! |
up a real tough one for the next round.
| Quoting Scooter01 (Reply 312): You must mean this room..... |
| Quoting Starglider (Reply 313): Sure is very impressive, I miss those growling turboprops. Good thing they are preserving this one. Footage of this C-133 gives the impression of a time machine touching down with those sleek F-16s in the foreground. |
I wish I still had that toy...it had spinning props, and lights that lit!| Quoting Starglider (Reply 313): Speaking of 2H4 and his vault, I hope he did not lock himself up in it? I bet he is up a real tough one for the next round. |
| Quoting Rampkontroler (Reply 314): running around flying my Eastern Lockheed Electra. |
| Quoting Rampkontroler (Reply 314): I know! I stayed up late last night awaiting the next clue, but to no avail. I do hope he is only stuck in his vault and that it's nothing more ominous than that. I'm sure he's just trying to figure out the best way to crop the next one! |
| Quoting 2H4 (Reply 316): Here’s the next shot: |
| Quoting TSS (Reply 320): It's a 1972 Dodge Coronet. |
| Quoting KPWMSpotter (Reply 325): So, I just finished my first NIFA Aircraft Recognition test... That. was. fun. |
| Quoting KPWMSpotter (Reply 325): So, I just finished my first NIFA Aircraft Recognition test... That. was. fun. |
| Quoting KPWMSpotter (Reply 325): I hope I'm not being too overconfident about the results at the moment, but I quite enjoyed it. |
| Quoting KPWMSpotter (Reply 325): Three days of cram studying airplanes, and then one test of nowhere near the complexity of what I'd prepared for |
| Quoting Alaska737 (Reply 327): What school do you compete for? |
| Quoting 2H4 (Reply 330): Thinking back, one of the most memorable parts of NIFA Aircraft Rec is the waiting and discussing of the test between test-time and the awards banquet. |
| Quoting 2H4 (Reply 328): OMAC-1 |
| Quoting 2H4 (Reply 328): And the correct answer is: OMAC-1 |
| Quoting 2H4 (Reply 329): The interesting part is that, after 23 days of searching, their guesses were submitted only 2 hours apart! |
| Quoting KPWMSpotter (Reply 331): Embry Riddle, Daytona Beach campus. The test itself was...interesting. There wasn't anything too challenging...mix of everything really. Don't think I'm supposed to say anything about it specifically yet...but there was one tail dragger on the write ins, and I don't think anyone on the team got it. |
| Quoting DAirbus (Reply 334): At least I can say that I found it the same way Columbus discovered the New World, while looking for something completely different. Anyway, congrats to AeroWeanie. Judging by his great score, he seems to have more time and/or resources than I do |
| Quoting Alaska737 (Reply 337): Want to come out to Prescott? We could use an Acid coach. |
| Quoting AeroWeanie (Reply 338): How I got the XL-15 is related to how I got the current mystery airplane |
| Quoting SlamClick (Reply 343): Is the mystery twin-boom in reply #199 supposed to be a YL-15? Serious mismatch with other photos of that type available online, beginning with the YL-15 being single-boom and a taildragger. |
| Quoting AeroWeanie (Reply 345): From the 1954-55 Jane's: |
That may the only way to improve my score.| Quoting AeroWeanie (Reply 345): From the 1954-55 Jane's: |
| Quoting 2H4 (Reply 207): - "A twin-boom single reciprocating engine light aircraft with bush tires probably used for observation and WITH THE CAPABILITY OF CARRYING A STRETCHER PATIENT photographed somewhere in Africa or Australia." |
| Quoting 2H4 (Reply 329): Correctly Identified By: Aeroweanie DAirbus |
| Quoting Rampkontroler (Reply 346): Oh darn...and I just tossed my copy of that edition! LOL |
