    Ding ding - we have a winner!!
    It's actually a General Motors made TBM, but close enough for Quid pro quo!

    Here's the next, not too difficult! Was sagen Sie?

    Late 40s gunsight and british intruments, rudimentary ejection seat, not much nose past the screen.
    My guess - a jet made from wood is a 'venomous' thing... :)

    A Gloster Meteor - sharp eye

    I am unfamiliar with your latest except the instruments look German - clock and altimeter for sure - the stick appears Messerschmitt but the aircraft looks to be airworthy so I doubt its a 109.

    Any other hints?

    Of course - it is a Me 109. :) You are very good at this.

    Where did you get the picture of the ME 109 cockpit? I thought there might be 3-4 flying in Germany but that's it.

    This one is diabolical, but right up your alley I think.

    I think the ME-109 was a museum picture.

    Yes, this is a challenge; So far I'm thinking American in 50s - 60s.
    I've got an idea, but will keep on studying this and get an answer. Interesting hint!

    Somebody, help! :)

    Don't you drive an exotic foreign car with connections to a not so exotic company?

    Aw shucks...cant stump the x-spurts. P-40E when I was restoring it in the late 70's. The cutout in the pannel was for the gun sight. RFK..not airworthy at that time...pix in my workshop. DJ...not even close. I'l look up a pix of t-6 pannel.

    Unless you've been in one I imagine it would be pretty tough to guess the first one.

    The canopy shape is a dead give away on the second one.

    Neither are allied planes.

    Looks like something Willi M contrived. Perhaps the side by side trainer. Where the hell is Russ when you need him. I know your dad knows, but cant say.

    On the first -

    The throttle quadrant looks Russian - or eastern european
    The canopy sliding "channel" looks like a MIG design
    Without something more - I give

    On the second -

    the handholds look familair but I can't place. Three bladed prop and apparent inline piston engine should narrrow it down, but I give here as well.

    More hints?
