SabreAce Rear Admiral Sep 23, 2003 #51 F-117=Nighthawk. The Destroyer isn't a foreign plane-it's the Douglas B-66/RB-66 bomber. Mid-60s/early 70s vintage. Volksjagger (I hope I spelled that right).

Quarto Unknown Enemy Sep 23, 2003 #53 Tu-95. How about XF5U-1? The nickname will do, since I don't think it even had an official name.

S Sycorax Spaceman Sep 24, 2003 #57 "Farman Experimental" I don't know of any cute nickname. WW1 era Fighter/Bomber, looks basically like a big Snipe. Here's an easy one: T-34 (I've got about half an hour of flight time on one)

S Sycorax Spaceman Sep 24, 2003 #59 Not quite, I was referring to the aircraft. The T-34 is in fact an aircraft, I flew one off the coast of Santa Cruz.
