Exotic Aircraft Identification Thread
Hidden | 11/30/2010 | Self

Posted on 11/30/2010 5:00:39 PM PST by ccmay

Just for fun, how about we stump each other with exotic or unusual airplane photos. Upload to Tinypic so no one can cheat by looking at the image source.

I'll go first. What is this aircraft?

Interestingly not a pure jet as it appears to be. A recip engine compressed air which was then run through a combustion chamber resulting in thrust.

No kiddin'. Never heard of such a thing!

That's right on the Air Force identification chart.

So it's a weather balloon.
