Challenge

[Kitbag]

Have to say I wasn't too sure, but here are few engines mounted like that. Anyway, here goes:

[Noyade]

As we say in the challenge business, Gotcha!

Grumman F9F-8P Cougar....

[SincoTC]

Nice pounce mate!!!

[Kitbag]

Ouch, good skills, 'tis yours Noyade

[Noyade]

good skills

Thanks mate but no skills involved. Bumbled my way there. Would you believe I originally thought it was some sort of experimental Grumman Tracker with a jet engine. No luck but I did find this...



...so then I wondered what the rear of other Grumman machines would look like.

Anyway, onwards and upwards...

[Noyade]

A long clue...

[SincoTC]

The Swiss EKW C-3605 ??

[Noyade]

Done.

Your control Trevor.

[SincoTC]

[Noyade]

Quick stab. A-12 Avenger?

[SincoTC]

Ouch!!

It is the General Dynamics / McDonnell Douglas A-12 Avenger II

Your turn again

[Noyade]

Thanks mate. Easy one in return....

McDonnell Douglas A-12 Avenger II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Aftermath" section is interesting. Only winners are the lawyers?

[SincoTC]

Sea Harrier??

Only winners are the lawyers?

So what's new there, bads

[Noyade]

Sorry mate, not the Harrier.

[SincoTC]

Was too busy putting up another SC, (which you'll have got by the time I post this)!!

(From SC) Well, you know the PPRuNe challenge definition for "easy."

Yup, the fan blades are far to near the front, so no room for the bloke unless the engine was out, which is what I thought might be the case.

[Kitbag]

Possibly Lockheed U-2?

[Noyade]

Well done Kitbag, your control.

[Kitbag]

Thanks a lot. Here is the next:

[Noyade]

Civil airliner?
