I got the Bombardier CRJ900 wrong.
I think aircraft have become like cars in that most have developed to an optimum shape and design for the wing, and a standard low wing config with the engines slung underneath. The days of individualistic aircraft like the VC10, BAC1-11, Concorde, DC10/Tristar (hideous as they were), are gone.

Would have thought this topic belongs under the "Spotters" category. Although suspect most of our members don't see themselves as "anorak" types, and would ignore it. :))

PS. I didn't get any of them right, but then again only ever flew puddle-jumpers for a living. Never graduated to the heavies. Was a time when if shown photos of cockpits could have told what kit was on the other end of the loom from the controllers.

By all means move to spotters but I put it here as I am trying to get SLF forum going and also I am interested in real aircraft, not computer games.

I got the Concord wrong and it took me some thinking to figure out the MD-88 versus the CRJ- so 98%. And thanks for starting the thread here.

What are they?
Ugly for a start.
I know very little about modern cars as they have no appeal, but I think the top one is a Porsche and the bottom one is a Lexus

I'd hazard a guess that one is an Audi.

Was recently asked what kind of car I would buy if I won the lottery. Thought about it long and hard, and then replied "I would leave it up to the chauffeur". :)

The top one is the latest Ferrari, the lower on is a Mazda3.

I saw the two pictures close together and thought that they must have been through the same wind-tunnel tests.

Would love to get my hands on a R34 Nissan GTR. :-bd

As for the quiz; Didn't even attempt it! Doubt if I'd get more than two!

Alison; Good one!
