    Game
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?.

Correct Bystandard - 1 point. I like that name.

Retired from the "Natchional Byreau ofStandards" a while back --- but, don't think I'll change it just yet.

It looks like some sort of pneumatic torque wrench for space to tighten bolts.

Just in case Cyrus' answer isn't good enough, let's call it a "zero angular moment impact wrench."

looks like a silenced suicide gun for you and a friend.

Let's see --- 2 pts. puts Fred in the lead? What's it worth to keep my mouth shut?
:smile: We don't need to gang up on poor old Cyrus now.

It could be intended for space walks as a means of moving an astronaut that is floating.
Fantastic! It's a Reaction Propulsion Pistol.

3 points to Fred.

It's strange that both Cyrus and Bystander went with the Zero-G Power Wrench. Well, I guess that takes this picture out of the game then :

I think all of the wrenches that are not manual are electric. The dual ends on the other reminded me of the actual one seen tested on a space walk.

F-16 thunderbird.
Okay, you get the 3 points.

That was a trick question. The bird in the picture is actually an F-16A Fighting Falcon. It was received by the Thunderbirds before they officially adopted the F-16C (in fact, it was received by them before the C-variant existed, and the Thunderbirds were probably still flying Talons at the time). So, later, they repainted it with the Thunderbird colors.

But I'm not feeling mean enough to dock you for that.

This brings up the final leg. Game ends on Q40.

Dock me for what, it's an F-16 in a thunderbird paint scheme. :rolleyes:

Ahhhh. It's under the F-22

I figured it was an F-22, but the landing gear door looks different.

A joint srike fighter?

JSF? mmmmm...could be. Not sure now.

That to me looks like a stabilizer. An F-22 and JSF have a one piece movable stab. That can't be the main wing, else were is the rest of the airplane behind it? What an odd picture. That's why I was hesitant to say F-22. Even JSF seems wrong now.

The chines on the other picture are what are making me say F22.
 
  • #244
Chines?
Similiar gear doors. I think its a 22...

But my vote is JSF (the lockheed model, not boeing)

Okay, my bad then. I just automatically associate the Thunderbirds with the F-16C.

As for the thing above the X-36...
