This is an awful photo I took at an air show. Identify this Bird and get a star. This board is slow so I though this would be a great game, seeing how any pic of a top secret bird is never good quality, lets see how good you are. Guess right and get a star. I'll give a hint, this is a USAF Bird.

is it an F16 ? looks like it to me.

I'm gonna say F-4 Phantom, I'm going out on a limb here but oh well, thats what it looks like to me no wait I'm gonna chang my guess to F-35

wow that didn't take long, I guess this thred can be closed. It is an F-16 from the USAF F-16 East Viper Demo team

You should have picked a hard plane to distinguish .....One that only pilots or Air force members would know.


I like the IDEA though........

Im going with the F-4 or F-111. F35? No wait F-4. Final answer,

oopsie, double post.

My bets are on a F16. It has a very recognizable shape and is one of the most common fighter jets in the world.

wings are too far back to be an f-4. f4 had a triangular tail and looking at it from the front the wings formed a w.the f 4 was called a double ugly because it had 2 engines. it alsso had 2 gigantic intakes at the front sides of the plane,that went past the cockpit twords the front. its probably an f-16 or f18....wait on second look at the pic ,its an f16...only 1 tail. not even a question. f 18 and f 35 botrh have double tails.

Got any more for us?

I would love to try my hand at guessing. I came in late for the first one.

I'll just put a wild guess out there even though we already have an answer.
C-5

If it were a C-5 it'd still be on the ground right now.

Try guessing this one...

I'm gonna say that the first one is the leading edge and pylon of an F-18.

For the second one I'm thinking it's the tail of a B-1.

And I've no ideas for the next two.

F-18, B-1, one of those top gun air combat trainers ( don't know its des), avenger torpedo bomber?

Ready cobzz? Here goes;

1, Boeing F/A-18 Hornet
2, B-1B Lancer
3, T-28 Trojan (a bit unsure here)
4, Very early P-51 Mustang, possibly P-51A

The wings and body are a little too 'fat' to be any F-16 or F-class in general.


Looks more like a manual glider.
