Plane Spotting - The Quiz

Smokie. When Christian Bale is stood on the roof and the USAF pilot waves to him...is it a Mustang?http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IKbg7RmW8rY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DIKbg7RmW8rY

That's weird to see him as a young lad. I never saw that movie. I only know Christian from American Psycho and Batman.

Not bad in Captain Corelli's Mandolin with Nicolas Cage either.

Co-incidentally, Bale's father was a commercial pilot.

Dying to know if its a Mustang.

any assistance appreciated.

Maybe this will help, They all say it's a Mustang.

Fab plane, my favourite. thumbsup.gif

Agree. Still get chills seeing one operating. V-12, 1720 HP Rolls Royce Packard engine. I understand when taking off at full throttle you nearly have to stand on the rudder to keep it on the center line due to the huge thrust.

As this being the Plane spotting quiz and all, I have been given the rare opportunity to having being escorted along the Suvarnabhumi grounds to reach my plane 3 months ago.

(The reason why the escort has been given is that I was annoyed to wait and went back to get a fresh B200 tuna sandwich, I came back late... very late)

In front: my annoyed wife and another couple that was late for the flight as well.

It felt very special and managed to get some rare shots.

I was very excited when I saw this propeller plane still on active duty

Aircraft type and carrier name, please.

Spot on, mate! -- I won't report this

good on ya...

It would be nice to drop the hostility and share good and well meant thoughts, brother.

I was never hostile.

Let's take a moment to think about the 3rd juvenile girl killed

Yep, taken in cobra Gold 2013 - image credit here

I am not sure of it's actual name now, who buys who etc......

Maybe wiki is out of date https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey

Here is a Boeing Canada reference, http://www.boeing.ca/en/Products-and-Services/Defense,-Space-Security/V-22-Osprey
