^ is the XB-70. How about this one;

Very good. Yours is the YF-12

Thanks, the landing gear indicator silhouette gave it away for me, only after did I see the 6 engine vib gauges.

YF-12? Negative

Are you sure? Those rotary knobs sure look like inlet guide vane position controls. I still think it looks like an early model SR/YF with the later control stick grip.

Not the YF-12, the A-12...

Chuck

Bingo!

This is a hard one;

Northrop XB-49 flying wing

Crap! Close enough, it's the XB-35

OV-1?

No, it's got condition levers, which make it a turboprop, and the front canopy shape is pretty unmistakable. The ADI/HSI combination are early sixties, which dated it correctly too. My guess is the electronics equipment had something to do with that Ho Chi Minh trail recon thing the Army got tasked with early in Vietnam. I can't remember the name.

Uh huh. That's all well and good, this whole "knowledge of airplanes" crap. But both you and I realize it's all smoke and mirrors....

;) Just kidding dude. I won't give up the ghost, but there's also a much easier, albeit a very french way of finding out what kind of airplane it is.

C-47?
