Name that Aircraft Mk. II! (Read rules first!)

[Arlo]

Alright, since you Zombie Experts keep shooting down easy quizzes by non-expertens, I am making the second variant of Name that Aircraft, this time with rules courtesy of Za Rodinu. Thanks Za.

1) Subjects will be classified by the quiz poster as Easy or Difficult. This will be a voluntary and subjective classification, depending entirely on the poster's criterium.

2) Everyone can take guesses at Difficult subjects.

3) Zombie Experts (you know who you are!) will prohibit themselves on their own volition from replying on Easy subjects in order not to spoil the fun for everyone.

4) In order to earn the right to post a quiz, you have to correctly guess the previous one.

5) You cannot post a new quiz before confirmation by the original poster that your reply is correct.

6) Of course if in a couple of days and after a number of hints provided by the original poster identification is not made, then a Z.E. can shoot it down but will have to post an Easy in replacement

7) Images posted are to be of real aircraft, please avoid models, paintings or CG.

If anyone has complaints about the rules, send a P.M. to me.

Alright, our current Zombie Experts are:

Za Rodinu (Sorry Za!)
Smudger Jnr
Sol
CL1
and Canuck

I will begin the thread with an EASY one. Probably the easiest. Z.Es behave yourselves from shooting down this one.



See ya!

What is this?

[Za Rodinu]

Kevin, are you posting this as an Easy or Difficult?

[KevinC]

I have no idea. It could be difficult for some but easy for you guys. What is the criteria for and easy identification?

[levien]

For me they are all difficult.

Kevin, the criterium is simple: there isn't any

If you feel this is going to be a Me109 then it will naturally be easy, but if you ask the version and sub-version plus what did the crew chief eat for breakfast, then it may become a mite difficult, see?

Or you can find a single prototype of some obscure bomber in Burundi, some Paraguayan transport plane nobody ever heard about (I have a few in store!), those will naturally be difficult.

Or some common plane in an unusual angle, that may be difficult as well if the pic is puzzling enough

It all depends on the common sense of the poster. The general idea is as I said to create a honour system keep the sharks who have nothing else to do - like myself - from shooting down an easy one and spoiling the fun for everyone else.

So Sol has put up a reply and you should say if he's right or not. My guess is he's right
