Game: Guess the airplane type!

regi · Post by **regi** » 21 Dec 2005, 15:16

The engine seems to be mounted on a wing, but not exactly in the middle.
And some stuff under the engine, a landing gear in the engine pod?
So, that is how I came to the Grumman.
Problem I passed by is the cone, which does not seem to appear on Grummans.
Honnestly speaking, my first thought went out to the Yak as well, and some german WW2 stuff.
I am still not 100% sure about my Grumman Albatros guess.

I looked at it like regi: That being a thoto of a wing, not of a nose. But it might be a nose.

We are getting closer, but it's not correct yet

You'd better continue on one regis thoughts

Continue on this trace, you are getting closer .........

We are very lucky to have those people working hard to keep memories alive, thanks.

But do you know the aircraft type?

Yup, the wreck was a bit too famous, I suppose.
Your turn, EHAM.

This pic was taken in the Aviodrome or in the old Aviodome. I've been in both and recognized the wreck, but didn't know the name of the aircraft. Thanks to google I found out.

I will post a new pic tomorrow. I have to go to work now.

I remember reading an article about it: the plane crashed during an emergency landing in the jungle of Venezuela. The pilot chair was used as a chair for the cheaf of an Indian tribe, and they used the fuel tank to brew beer.

Ok, here's another one. This one shouldn't be too difficult I think
