    Here's my SWAG:
    There is no visible forward nose
    It's narrow
    Sailplane implies long thin wings

    Fouga Magister

    That wasn't that hard - it always concerned me that they had no ejection seat

    OK - someone else's turn unless you want another obscure one.

    Did anyone say Sopwith Camel ? The carburetor intake tube is a giveaway to at least a rotary powered airplane and the British stick is another one and then the squared front end of the cockpit says Camel.

    Fokker DR1 and Sopwith Camel. Two great ones. Good shots. Russ, in 1967 I helped to run a Sopwith Pup, an Avro 504K, and a Nieuport 17 at the Abottsford Centennial airshow. The equipment came from the Canadian Air Museum at Ottowa and they didn't have enough people who knew how to start and to hand prop a rotary powered airplane. I have never had so much fun as I did that weekend. There also was a look alike DR1 there and they staged a dogfight. Those old WW1 machines have a beauty all their own.

    I can see where the DR1 in your photo does not have a rotary in it. Most likely a Warner.

    There are two Fougas local in the NW, or were. A bunch of L39's and an occasional A4 Scooter buzz around Arlington during the summer. They hang out by Paul Allen's "secret" hanger in various states of restoration.

    I think it looks like a Navy bird. Maybe an F-18 Hornet?

    No, it's not an F-18. It's made by the same company but only flown by the Marines (at least in the US).

    Thanks for keeping my post alive.

    Correct. More specifically, an AV-8B II+ (Radar variant of the AV-8B).

    OK, that's all I have. There's no way I can keep up with the rest of you guys on this thread.

    I have seen this thing demonstrate manueverabilty in many airshows and it is a wild airplane when it's off the vertical T.O. mode.

    Switchesoff,

    It's definitely an "E" Ticket ride.

    You have a private message.

    Best Regards,

    This V12 powered craft did a complete 360 degree loop over water at less than 100 feet altitude without crashing or breaking up.

    That is Slo mo Five that was a lighter and faster version of Slo Mo 4, it had a higher crown on the deck and produced more lift. I witnessed the flip with Lou ***eol at the wheel and he left the boat when it was at the apex of the loop and if he hadn't been wearing a cast around his chest from a previous injury he would probably have been killed. The boat did sustain some broken frames in this time trial incident but they fixed it in time to race three days later. At the time of the loop they had fitted some metal angles on the deck to kill the lift and all it did was act like turbulators that kept the flow attached and.........produced more lift. Hence the loop. That Tempo boat was owned and raced by band leader Guy Lombardo ( GUY LOMBAGO and HIS LINAMENT FIVE ). It was called a step-boat with sponsons.

    Overhead throttles. Grumman Goose. Seat fabric doesn't look military. The control wheels and windscreen shape is wrong for a COD.

    It almost looks like a Catalina but the control wheels don't match what I have found for reference and the windscreen dividers seem different. Fisheye lense?.

    Fairchild C-123 Provider?

    Ah what the hell, I'm too young for these "old" planes.
