What airplane is this?
« on: January 18, 2018, 11:25:59 PM »
I’m stumped.  Probably for the first time ever I can’t figure out what airplane I’m looking at.    Help!

Yep there is that panel and the tiny view port by his hand both in front of the wing root.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Thank you!    My mind was saying “It has some F-105ishness to it but it isn’t that.”   The gray paint was murdering my brain.

Original size made it easier to match the plates and fasteners.

Did some digging.  Looks to be from a photo shoot done of Yeager at Edwards AFB in 1990.  They have an F84F on display there.
