Aircraft Recognition Game

[POTKC]

Let's restart the game that went on for a very long time on the old CA forum. For anyone who doesn't know, a small sample of a photo of a plane is posted, and people have to guess what plane it is, as well as the airline if it is an airliner. Whoever guesses correctly goes next. I'll start:

Lot 737?

[POTKC]

Oh wow, you got it first try. LOT 737-400.



Your go

Sorry for the delay:

Looks like a Citywing LET 410...

EDIT: Yep, that's what it is.

[skifans]

Yep

Sorry for the delay, here's mine:

That's not an Air Austral 777-200ER, is it?

[POTKC]

LR, but yes. How did you...so quickly...wow...

Figured I'd check engines, and figured because of the size of it, it had to be a newer model. Checked for the "spirals" and found out it was a 777 engine. Wiki checked 777 operators, and searched for airlines with an "A" in their "mainframe initials". Initially thought it was ANA but was proved otherwise. Continued down the list from "A" and found Air Austral. Looked at which types of 777s they operated, google searched "Air Austral 777" to find a confirmation picture, found one that looked awfully similar, and bingo. Total time it took? About 20 minutes. That's what happens when you have nothing to do on a snow day from college. xD

EDIT: Checked for airlines with an "A" because no other letter usually has a end mark at the angle of the letter A, and the engine clearly looked to have a letter on it.
