Fitter 2's challenge

Also as evansb says check your PMs. I will also hold back on identification, so the challenge can continue for others.

F-106 B, the two seat version?

[Fitter2]

Hi Mreyn and EvansSB, thanks for PMs - I thought I had covered bases but not carefully enough. Anyway, its a potboiler to keep things going.

Con-pilot - homing in rapidly, but this particular example according to the operator had a unique role.

[asw28-866]

Used by Nasa as a manned lightning conductor perhaps?


'866'

If I'm right, con-Pilot please take the floor I needed your input

[Fitter2]

Thanks ASW, that's the one - the QF106. As an aerotowing expert you would have recognised the technique.

Over to whoever.

[Fitter2]

And in Cecil B de Mille format:

The movie clip

shows it in operation - you don't see a Mach1 + fighter on aerotow very often.

Apologies for the duplication, and thanks to the regulars for politely pointing it out. On the published list F106 was listed, but not the Q variant, used in this project, as target drones and finally as the matrix for artificail undersea reefs. All a little different from the design role.

Thank you Fitter2, to fill the gap a quick one for Sunday afternoon, from the training material for one of the offices at work....

Cessna Caravan?

Just back from hols, and off to earn a crust for the next 7 days.

Open house please folks if I'm right.

Cheers,

BSD

[asw28-866]

BSD is of course correct it is the Cessna 208 Caravan...



As BSD stated, the floor is open...

Nice easy one to be going on with...Year, Aircraft and Pilot please.

[Fitter2]

Samuel Franklin Cody, Cody Mk 5, 1912????

[windriver]

Fitter2 Yes.. It's Cody

Just need a bit more on the (popular) name of the aircraft and the year (pre 1912)

[evansb]

windriver's challenge

The British Army Aeroplane No.1, sometimes called the Cody 1, October 16th, 1908.

[windriver]

1908... a bit later in fact this picture dates from 1909

Otherwise sorry to be pedantic....this aircraft had an impressive popular name....

[HappyJack260]

You referring to the "Longhorn"?

[evansb]

windriver's challenge

Is this Samuel Cody's Flying Cathedral you are referring to?

[Speedpig]

Haven't we already had this one?

[windriver]

evansb completed the challenge.. It's the Cathedral.

Speedpig... My master list is on another PC so if it's featured before I apologise. (any chance of an updated list?)

evansb has control...
