I enjoy all this "Name this!" stuff in this board, and...

It is spring ! Time for the legendary Propellorhead Quiz again.

No prizes, but fame.

And yes, you may use all sources you can get ! Get your aircraft identification books, search the internet.

I will post this in several other flightsim boards, so put a tag behind your name (i.e. AcesHigh),
so that we will find out what community has the best planespotters. Last winners were the Warbirds.de community.

Answers and winners will be displayed on the noticeboard next tuesday.

Enjoy!

No. "Commie bastards" would have been correct.
