Is it the front or back of the A/C?

Colder brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Alex - Spot-This !]

Mig-29 ?

[z740]

Um not too sure what to say to that... Unless there is some new multi directional jet out now then it is most definetly the back of the A/C.

Well I mean some intakes look similar to the rear of the engine. Warmer or colder?

As is the case with most planes, the rear is warmer.

[Petertenthije]

Ooh, and to add to my previous remark: it's a F-111.

You got it.... again.... Did the AusCam give it away?

[maverick55]

At the RNZAF Whenuapai Open Day, March 3 2007.

No, I genuinely thought it was Russian or Ukranian camo. What gave it away, well... there are not that many 2 engined fighters with such large engines. And the round thingy to the left of the person confirmed it for me. Some of the more rencet Sukhois also got "a left thingy". Something against IR or something like that. That's why my first guess was for a Su-27 derivative.

Does it show that my military vocabulary is limited?

Haha I dont know what the round thingy to the left is either so you're not alone there. Having worked with Aussies quite a bit back when I was in the Army I guess I thought their distincitive 'bunny cam' as we used to call it was quite widely known.

This is really not what I should be doing, I have an exam in two days that I really should be studying for.... Haha bring on the next one though.

[Petertenthije]

another one that i consider challenging, so Maverick will probably get it at his first attempt ten minutes from now

[maverick55]

Ive got it but in the interest of letting someone else have a go I PM'd the answer to you.

Dave

FWIW, he had the right answer alright. That guy must know every plane and prototype the world's ever seen. No doubt he already knows what the B797 and A390 will look like.

Junkers Ju 287?

Maverick found the plane by typing strange aircraft into google. How did you find it?
