Title: MrOrange's plane of the day.
Post by: MrOrange on July 17, 2007, 03:06:37 pm

This is just like sla31's Airline Quiz ( ;) ), only you'll be guessing what aircraft is in the picture.

Current Rankings:

1. sla31 - 6 points
    zkvac - 6 points
3. SingaporeAir - 5 points
4. CHR - 2 point
5. dktc - 1 point
    tomauer - 1 point
    Alex - 1 point
    Vamerica - 1 point

after 21 rounds


Rules:

I post the planes, you do the guessing.
You may guess once per round, unless I say you can guess again.
You get one point if you guess the aircraft correctly, and you get one more point if you can find the full picture.

Yeah, I'll introduce a "Plane of the Day" contest. I'll post a pic showing a part of the plane, and you have to guess which plane it is to be able to order it :) Might be fun.

Do we get one for free if we got it right? :lol:

I can only count the first answer you give, when you post a list of planes. MD-82 is wrong. (To end further doubt, the other two are wrong too, but I won't tell that again if you post a list :) )

@singapore: everything, except for the lightblue parts that are sky, is part of the aircraft.

I'll admit, this is a hard one to guess :lol:

by the image you selected it could be either.

Here's a hint:

It's not Russian, and it's not in mass production (and it will never be, in fact). Plane type is civilian, aimed at the small business aircraft market.

Grob G 180 spⁿ, intitally named Grob Utility Jet.


Grob is a German manufacturer that went bankrupt in 2008.
The plane was actually quite successful, with a lot of tests accomplished and more than 100 orders secured by mid-2008. Seating 8 pax, the plane was priced at USD7.5 million in 2008. It was going to make it into the AM database... What a pity... :(

737-400. It is a 737, and it must be either a -400, -800 or -900 with that tailskid. If it's a BBJ 2 or 3 then 737-800 or -900 would technically be correct. I'm positive it's a 737.
