Title: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Rakoua on July 08, 2011, 07:28:52 pm This is simple. I post a picture of a vehicle and you find out which one it is. The one who posts the correct answer posts the next picture and so on.
If it is too hard, you are allowed to post hints. You have 24 hours to post your pic. Make sure your URL doesn't reveal the name. Let's start off nice and easy. (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2545/3841972788_7e83d5b964_o.jpg) Look closely and you shouldn't have problems. Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Legodac on July 08, 2011, 09:38:05 pm I don't believe my eyes, he's back, I guess The Enterprise
Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Wantija$$$ on July 09, 2011, 12:27:18 am Rahkshi probably got this but what ever.
A U.S. Navy Battle ship? Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on July 09, 2011, 02:27:11 am Actually I believe Legodac got it!
It looks like USS Enterprise (CVN-65) which was commissioned November 25 1961 Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Rakoua on July 09, 2011, 06:08:00 am Incorrect. I want the exact name!
Hint: Look at the registry number. Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Legodac on July 09, 2011, 11:49:41 am The Nimitz was going to be my second choice, that and Enterprise are the only ones I know :D
So, do we have to wait for Rak to post another vehicle or can we venture out on our own Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Legodac on July 09, 2011, 11:52:30 am USS Enterprise (sorry about the DP, please merge if you feel it's important, again, sorry, I got excited there for a moment)

Just google cv-71... Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on July 09, 2011, 03:41:04 pm Well if you want to get tough about it =P
CVN-71is The USS Theodore Roosevelt Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Rakoua on July 09, 2011, 03:55:09 pm Correct! You may now post a new vehicle.
Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on July 09, 2011, 04:03:35 pm This is going to be tough so I will post a few views if that is OK.

Post by: Rakoua on July 09, 2011, 04:05:56 pm I think that this is the Comet, the first operational passanger jet. Not sure tho, couldn't find the images.
Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on July 09, 2011, 04:07:11 pm Remember that we need the FULL name =P
Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Rakoua on July 09, 2011, 04:10:19 pm De Havilland Comet.
Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Legodac on July 09, 2011, 04:15:00 pm Well? hurry up eh
Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on July 09, 2011, 04:35:38 pm De Havilland Comet. BINGO!! We have a winner! The Comet's story began in 1929, when an officer of the Royal Air Force named Frank Whittle proposed powering an airplane with a gas turbine engine. Rather than applying power to a propeller, this engine would force exhaust gases out the rear of the engine, generating enough force to drive the aircraft forward. Whittle himself described his idea as "something like a giant vacuum cleaner; it sucks air at the front and blows it out at the back." Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Rakoua on July 09, 2011, 04:39:20 pm OK, new one:

Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Rakoua on July 09, 2011, 05:05:22 pm The fact is I just noticed the text on the bottom.
Anyway, it's not the Hindenburg =P Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: KnownandUnknown on July 09, 2011, 05:07:41 pm The Hiryu? ^^;

::) Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: KnownandUnknown on July 09, 2011, 05:14:13 pm Okay, if I can, I guess I'll give it to somebody else who has a picture ready, otherwise I'll have to go find a good one!
So if anybody is dying to go I'll let them go first. I guess I shouldn't have "guessed" without being ready... sorry :sigh: It'll be an hour at most though... Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Rakoua on July 09, 2011, 05:15:00 pm You don't have to be ready, just find something and post.

Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Rakoua on July 09, 2011, 05:20:49 pm I'm gonna let someone else take this one, so it's not me posting half of the pics.
I know what it is tho. Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on July 09, 2011, 08:23:52 pm A U.S. Air Force F-22A Raptor stealth fighter?

This sure looks like a "Studebaker Sky Hawk" Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Driver12 on July 11, 2011, 09:45:09 am A good guess…when I first learned of these cars I thought they were Studebakers too. But they aren't…

Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Driver12 on July 27, 2011, 07:50:26 pm Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut Very, very, VERY close.right? But not quite. ;D The hint I'll give: This aircraft was a development of the Su-47 Berkut, however it differs in the exhaust nozzles (one instead of the Berkut's two), wingtips (curved, no ECM pods on the Su-47, but straight-edged with ECM pods on this model), and NACA ducts (this model's were more squared).

Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture! Post by: Driver12 on July 28, 2011, 09:15:00 pm Sukhoi S-32? Bingo!@MsRR: The Sukhoi S-32 was designed as a concept to see how a single exhaust nozzle would affect the infrared signature of the Su-47 'Berkut'. I became familiar with it through the Ace Combat video game series. Here is a more accurate look at the tail end of the plane: (http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn139/JianDaoXiao/Aircrafts%20Works/S-32model04.jpg) Title: Re: Guess the ship/plane/car in the picture!
