In summary, Gokul posted two pictures of aircraft, one with a stealth plane in it and one with a paramecium. Respondent B correctly guessed the stealth plane. Respondent C guessed the paramecium, and Respondent D guessed the Northrop B-2 Spirit. Gokul posted the next clue, which was a picture of a satellite. Respondent E guessed the correct satellite, a Russian Soyuz. Respondent B guessed the next aircraft, the B-2. Respondent D guessed the Northrop B-2 Spirit again. Gokul posted the last clue, which was a picture of a person. Respondent A guessed the correct person, Kapische?.

That's a Pratt & Whitney afterburner. Since it's next to the Raptor I'll also say that it's the vectored thrust assembly.
Silly me - should have clipped the picture more.

That pic is the back view of the entire F119. Here's another view:

And the hazy mammoth is the Stratofortress - 6 points.

(update)

Code: 
[u]TOP SCORES[/u] :

Bystander      17
Cyrus          27
Fred           10

Got a "muff" in here somewhere --- 18x3 = 54, minus 1 for 2nd on j79 minus 1 for 2nd on Corona minus 2 on Iron Mike = 50 possible; I'm at 16. I'll let Fred and Cyrus fight out the partitioning of the other 34.

I'm easy. Give them to Cyrus. He needs the emotional support that more points will bring him.BTW... this is the best thread EVER.

I was at work. I just came back online to see all these easy pictures posted and I missed them!

Oh well, someone has to take the pitty points, right fred? I hope that Jane's book is coming in handy.

I'd messed up a couple of question numbers before. There were in fact 20 questions completed at this point. I'd accidentally repeated numbers twice. The question numbers have all been fixed now.

Bystander, you score's been corrected. Kurdt's 3 points have been added to the scores. That fixes the balance sheet, I think.

It's the rocket engine from the Bell X-1. I can't remember the name of it though.
Nicely done! My second clue was planned roughly along those lines (pointing to Chuck Yeager or the X-series).

It's the XLR-11. Good enough for me.

Fred gets 3.

Erm I think my three points could possibly be kindly donated between the three contenders seeing as I'm clearly not in the running :smile:

The darkstar has a straight trailing edge.

Between Gokul's camera work and my bifocals, there is no such thing as a straight line.
