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?

I think you mean Thunderbolt. The Lightning was a twin engine p-38 powered by two Allison v1710 turbo-charged 12 cylinder engines. I don’t think they ever tried the Merlin on that aircraft.

Damn! You don't miss a damn thing.
OK smarty pants, here are two more. If you get either of these, my hat is off to you, and if you get both, you are certainly the biggest airplane nerd alive.

...with the fuselage inside the nacelle.... I hope you have a BIG Insurance policy for the widow. Seriously, how could anyone eject from that travesty? For that matter, how do you get in?!?!?

In the top picture, the jet, the pilot is one damn big hurry to get the gear up.

You win the thread. It's not even close. Do you even have a life?
Here is the last one of the night. I'm sure you know what it is, but it may amuse some of the lesser mortals.
