Warm. It shares it's name with a late 70s Gene Wilder/RIchard Pryor movie.

Another forum I visit has a weekly car contest with rules.
The poster shows a picture of a production car on Monday.
Concepts, customs, and modified (except for wheels) not allowed.
Players are allowed ONE guess.
The winner is declared on Friday.
The winner, if there is one, posts a car the following Monday.
We're on week 161 today.
It would be tougher to stump this diverse group than the smaller bunch over there, I think.

Here's a plane:

Douglas A26 Invader

You are close. It is an American built plane, regardless of the swastika.

So do you know what ID's a Solver Streak vs the Pontiac Eight or the Torpedo?

quote Originally posted by lurker: moonie

That's funny , good eye.
That guy better hope the tail gunner, in the lead plane, doesn't take his job too seriously.

quote Originally posted by tutnkmn: Here's another fighter:

No hits on this one yet. Here are some clues:

It's French.

The Nazi captured and used many as trainers after the fall of France.

Curtis "Goshawk"
I believe it was also configured with an inline engine?

quote Originally posted by Wolfhound: Curtis "Goshawk" I believe it was also configured with an inline engine?

Not the Goshawk, but very very close! The Goshawk had a larger "razorback" than this plane and a slightly shorter fuselage. The Goshawk was the domestic version of this aircraft. This plane is the export version and had some minor differences and a different designation.

A Goshawk:

Note the arresting hook and larger spine of the Goshawk as well as a rear wheel and not a skid. The Goshawk was beefed up for carrier landings. The landing gear was also wider and heavier than the other plane and it had wing hardpoints.

You got it

OK , Then it's a Curtis "Hawk" That's what I was thinking had an inline configuration.

It's a Hawk II, but you get the prize! Cupie doll in the mail LOL

Convair F-106 Delta Dart

Avro Arrow

quote Originally posted by loafer87gt: Avro Arrow

And the winner is ------ Avro Arrow!

There was a very good movie about the Arrow on TV. It starred Dan Akroyd and many other talents and was the story of how Canada's great leap forward was killed in infancy. The Arrow was a better plane than anything anyone else had at the time and set the stage for things to come. Many of the folks who worked on the Arrow went on to work at NASA on the moon landing project.

There is a legend that a single Arrow survived and is held in a secret location in Canada to this day

My uncle was actually one of the head guys who worked on the missle guidance systems and avionics on the Arrow. He has some neat stories about the plane...

Looks kinda like an updated Fiesler Storch. Don't think it is though.

quote Originally posted by Vonov: Convair F-106 Delta Dart

Hey vonov the Delta dart was a single engine jet.

HARDCORE SBC CRONIE AND PROUD OF IT ! GOT TQ ?

quote Originally posted by FIEROPHREK: Hey vonov the Delta dart was a single engine jet.

It's not unusual that early US jets look so much like the Avro Arrow. The Arrow set the stage and was an inspiration for aircraft designers of the era

quote Originally posted by tutnkmn: Looks kinda like an updated Fiesler Storch. Don't think it is though.

On the right track. Here's a clue for you: It was the first airplane since WWII to be produced in Western Germany.

And a Navy seaplane:

quote Originally posted by tutnkmn: And this plane is? Hint - it's not an F-5.

F20 Tigershark?

ok here is an easy one

quote Originally posted by FIEROPHREK: ok here is an easy one

F107. I just love jets from that era such as the Phantom, the A7, and the F100 series. They are kinda like the "muscle cars" of aviation history.

tutnkmn,

It looks like a Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk
