SpudmanWP Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Next Incorrect guesses so far: Squished Mig-17 Mig-9 Mig (Fresco or Farmer) Edited October 6, 2009 by SpudmanWP
joey45 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 a squashed mig 17?? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

VIKBELL Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I believe that is a MIG -9. There are 2 categories of fighter pilots: those who have performed, and those who someday will perform, a magnificent defensive break turn toward a bug on the canopy. Robert Shaw

SpudmanWP Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Here is a clue: It started out life as one of these (of which only 2 were built due to lack of engines).
sinelnic Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 It was the last war fought with propeller (not proper) airplanes :cry: Also, it is called the football (or soccer) war because of this: Both countries' military governments were in the mood for some fighting, but the people couldn't care less (both countries have beautiful, sunny beaches, nice women, rum... what's there to fight for?). The perfect excuse came when Honduras faced El Salvador in eliminatory rounds for the Mexico '70 World Cup qualifiers. The first match was won at home by Honduras 1-0, but at the secong leg, El Salvador won 3-0 and apparently the local hooligans were a bit disrespectful to the defeated party, which triggered brutal riots at and outside the stadium. A third match was due, but by that time the politicians had created the mood for an open conflict. El Salvador won 3-2 and a couple of days later, invaded Honduras. The war lasted 5 days and left a couple thousand deaths, of course, mainly civilians. So sad...

SpudmanWP Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) I have to leave for a couple of hours... So, if you KNOW you have it, feel free to post a new one. Next Clue... In the above clue, only the wings and tail from the prop plane were used in the design of the jet. Edited October 7, 2009 by SpudmanWP
topol-m Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) HA-200 Saeta? Edit: I think i got it right so here comes the next one: Edited October 7, 2009 by topol-m [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SpudmanWP Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Yes, it was the HA-200 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispano_HA-200 btw, the prop trainer was the HA-100 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispano_HA-100

SpudmanWP Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 ARGH!! I give up for now.. too much to do :) This is what I have so far: 1. Likely 2nd or early 3rd gen (radar and threat display only sign of electronics) 2. twin engined (dual gauges and throttles) 3. western (English writing "range dial" & "friction") & black instruments on gray background 4. very skinny (where the pilot is at least) The closest I can think of is a F-5 variant.
SpudmanWP Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I just spent the last 18 hours looking through THOUSANDS of pages... I want to hurt you ;) New best guess... McDonald Voodoo variant..? The closest I can come is Notice the small black behind gray engine gauges while all the rest are black on gray. This seems to be a trend with McDonald fighters. Also, small gyro located over the radar display. 1
mvsgas Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) I will go with Mitsubishi F-1, I think I have seen some photos showing the group of red lights on the right front panel. Edited October 8, 2009 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
topol-m Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I just spent the last 18 hours looking through THOUSANDS of pages... I want to hurt you ;) ^^^ :D I will go with Mitsubishi F-1, I think I have seen some photos showing the group of red lights on the right front panel. Well done, mate. Indeed it is the F-1. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mvsgas Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Go ahead and ask another or let SpudmanWp ask, if you do not mind. I suck at the riddle thing and I think SpudmanWP deserves it after such a long search and hard labor. :thumbup::joystick::book::D To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

SpudmanWP Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Damn, the English writing threw me. I am going to bed myself... One of the places I looked had an ongoing thread of over 4 years (10000+ posts) of nothing but cockpits... ACK!!! I'll wake up in 8 hours or so and see what someone else has posted, tell my wife I'm doing "job research", and bang my head figuring out the mystery. Night.
mvsgas Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Aw, man... Topol, what you got until then man?
