Plane Spotting - The Quiz

MD-11..

[GrantSmith]

Yes the Sultan of Brunei loves his pimped out A340...

No minibar though.

True, but like the airline that bares the same livery, it's easily remidied with BYO duty free

David 48: It has been covered well above, when you have big fuel loads, it effects everything. That is why on ultra long haul flights you get more leg room, less bums on the plane. That is minor in the big picture. I think it was SVB above who said it is a self perpetuating problem. That is an understatement. The heavier you are, the slower you go, initially the lower you may have to go, burning more fuel, that is even more fuel you need because you are burning more fuel due to extra fuel.

Here is a link to the KLM MD-11 Above in full. These are used extensively as freighters now.

I think this is one of the prettiest fighters ever, although most think the Spitfire was the best out there this plane actually was when quipped with the RR (Spitfire) Merlin engine.

P51D Mustang?

As bad as it sounds - thankfully only 2 fatalities! That incident could have been a lot worse!

I spotted this one a few months ago.

Looks like a Nomad, dickyknee.

With some sort of survey equipment boom attached.

[SeaVisionBurma]

Aerial mapping gear, or a MAD boom?

[dickyknee]

survey plane, not a gonad.

[SinglePot]

Bugg**

I was hoping to claim ownership of being the gonad on this thread.

A37 Dragonfly heavily modified?

I just came across this thread. It seemed you guys liked the challenge of picking the obscure, so I thought I'd dig this one out.

In other pics the skirts show plenty of leg.

Which Airline?

What aircraft would this be taken on? (I presume, not a trick question)
