    I think the top one is Gemini, and the bottom one is apollo (or maybe skylab/apollo-soyuz).

    Just a lucky guess. It looks like a prototype layout, not much to it for a fighter in service.

    I think I'm better with "space junk."

    HEY! That's got to be a Spitfire. That sheet metal bulkhead under the instrument panel and the alumium ( ALUMINIUM ) channel on the right side looks to me like a monocoque structure. The Hurricane was made of bolted tubing and hard wire rigging.

    Ummmm, What nationality is it? ;)

    Was it really "S.A.C." equipment? Did it have six Pratt & Whitney R 4360-41 Wasp Major
    28-cylinder four-row radials, and later six R-4360 41's and four General Electric J47-1 single-shaft turbojets
    Were it's dimensions; span 230 ft , length 162 ft , height 46 ft 9 in? :) :) :)

    Gee I dunno what it is.......

    Hey..... Wait a minute....
    That looks an awful alot like the gun seat in a tie fighter....
    or was that the M. Falcon.. I can't remember everything......

    Hi Charlie,

    It isn't the B-36 but good guess.


    Four multi-row engines. It is American. It changed how the world looked at war forever after.

    Hi Spasso,

    Yeah, ..... I know ..... NOW!!!
    It is a B- (7 digits less than) 36 whose pilot named her after his mother

    Should have known better then.... Well, that's what I get for watching
    Jimmy Stewart / June Allyson movies... ;)

    I've got "Strategic Air Command" on the brain... :)

    I flew in one of these. It's built by Boeing and it dropped a biiiig bomb. B-29. Could be a B-50 too, I can't see enough detail of the instruments.
