What aircraft is this?

[Furball]

Caproni... CA60 i think?

[Gianlupo]

Bah! I said it was too easy!

Btw, no one answered to Hunter's and Dogg's trivia:



North American A2J Super Savage, prototype for a carrier based attack aircraft.



Martin Marietta X24A, experimental plane for study on lifting bodies (they experimented with the concept of unpowered reentry and landing, later used by the Space Shuttle)

You should post something, now, Furbie.

Meanwhile...

Hey I got a question, if it hasnt been asked here yet. In its recent time America has used 2 foreign built aircraft. What were they?

The first, of course, is the Harrier. But what is the second? I ask this cause I actually saw one on a flightline once. We still had a few operational in my day.

Mistel

[Gianlupo]

Good job, Cthulhu!

Glock, that's a German Mistel, with a Bf-109 as guide plane and a Ju-88 as gliding bomb.

Rich, I don't know if that's what you mean, but the C-27A/J Spartan is a derivation of the Italian G-222, a transport airplane. The first examples should have been delivered in September.

EDIT: Geez, Cthulhu, stop living on that keyboard and go to work!

Identifying these farked up airplanes you're posting is work.

Dornier Do.31E


(Never got past the mock-up stage, but give it a shot)

And I still need an answer for that pug-ugly thing I posted earlier

I'd say mock-up only is getting things too difficult for poor Gian.... my dear Mr. XF-109.....

I'll get the little bugger, too.

EDIT: btw, is the little one a biplane? At first I thought it was a monoplane, but it looks like there's a small lower wing... is just my eyes playing tricks on me?
