Hey all! If you're up for it, try this quiz on our website --> militarymachine.com/quiz/military-aircraft-quiz/
@Military Machine I'm the one that made your video famous;)
30 for 30
30 for 30 to easy...
Your quiz was a little too easy. When showing the Tupolev, the other alternatives were clearly not Soviet/Russian, so it kind of gave it away. But the video was fun.
Pretty easy tbh
You know your an aircraft nerd when you can ne them all before your even given the options
Yea
Guilty as charged... My son who reports to Basic in a couple of months was shocked as I answered them all before any answers came up and told him a snippet of something about the plane
that happened to me
I love airplanes and and I only got 3 wrong
ikr, it’s like a 5-10 second head start
Just a note, the A-10 is actually the Thunderbolt II
I mean... That probably IS the official nickname although 'Warthog' is more uh... publicly mentioned. It's like Viper for the F-16 Fighting Falcon or Fat Amy for the F-35 Lightning II...
I noticed that the popular names were used on many aircraft here, like Aardvark for the F-111. Interesting, though that they used "Fighting Falcon" for the F-16, whereas many, if not most of their pilots used the name "Viper", as that was the most popular name in the naming competition at the time of its introduction. The USAF decided against it, as that was the name of the fighters in "Battlestar Galactica", and went with the name of the athletic teams for the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs, instead.
True, and that F/A-18 Hornet is actually an F/A-18E Super Hornet.
@@vfa-31tomcatters27 Early versions of the F-18 are now called "Legacy Hornets."
@@gordonbergslien30 That's a nickname. Official designation still is F/A-18C Hornet.
Just like how the Super Hornet is called the Rhino.
I'm sorry folks but this is the easiest quiz I've ever taken. Such obvious choices, having modern day or older aircraft in the mix with a modern plane and three other choices prop jobs. I wish my anatomy/physiology classes would have been that easy.
Hold on…..if you removed the choices….you’d of known that was a Tigershark vs. Tiger? If so, congrats! I had a plotter printed F-20 in my dorm room…no way I’d of discerned the two.
@@BD-qq4fn Well, it's the exact same plane, just a few updates... Just like they didn't ask us to identify which version of any of the other models.
I agree the choices were way too easy; all but a few of them I knew before the first option came up, then the options were mostly obvious. They should have at least made the options similar looking, or at least in year. Like the tankers, if it's got a refueling boom and it's the only KC option that pretty well gives it away!
The F-20 has only one engine and every F-5 variant has 2 engines, if you know this you'll never have problems again indetifiying them :D@@BD-qq4fn
former F-16 pilot...I got 'em all.
That's so cool sir 😀😀
Thank you for your service
Lucky bastard, what I'd give to pilot that.
I was a f-100 and f-4 crew chief in the USAF I scored 100%
Passed 100% and could name them even before the proposed names appeared 😀
Thanks for the fun!
You need to get some fresh air
Same here lol.
me too except the c17 and im literally 13
@@abmong Fuck nah
@@godover100same but im 15 and got 30/30
I need to touch grass after this
29 out of 30. Missed the SUKHOI SU-57. 66 year old, non military. Builder of many model planes, mainly US and British. Thanks for posting this quiz. It was fun.
Sir, my score was also 29 out of 30...also miss the SUKHOI SU-57...also non military ...also a plane model builder...but 67 years old!
30 out of 30... The SU-57 was just a lucky guess. 60 years old, non-military, too.
Me too. What pissed me off was that I first picked the SU-57 but changed my mind and went with the SU-34!
That's the same one I missed. 63. Haven't built models in many decades but did serve for 22 years. Was not surprised I missed a Russian designation. Given how they fly and fight they should change that star to a bullseye.
That was the one I was unsure of but guessed the 57 over the other Sukhoi choice as it looked a bit more advanced.
Everyone else: “56 year old military veteran, 28/30”
Me: “middle schooler, 30/30”
same here, lol!!!
bruh same here (also i'm colombian💀)
I nailed all of them. I was surprised not to see an F-4 Phantom or an A7D Corsair the two fighter jets I crewed in my 6 years in the USAF. I was in from 1974-1980. I went up in the back seat of an F-4D Phantom while stationed at Holloman AFB. NM. Did 1.2 mach. at 34K feet. About 920 MPH. Lived out my little boy dream of being a fighter pilot at that moment. May 21, 1976.

I was at Seymour Johnson in North Carolina from 1981-1985. I was a bomb loader on the F4E. I got a ride before I got out. It was an amazing experience.
didnt show the thunder bolt or warhawk either
Got most of them before the choices began to appear. The few that I didn't know on sight were easy, because a futuristic Russian jet fighter cannot be mistaken for any of three WWII piston engined fighters and trainers 😉
Me too.
Yeah, way too easy.
I also got most when the picture showed up
The first ones were pretty easy especially the B-29
Me too. I even scored the SU57
29 out of 30. The quiz is actually pretty easy. My only miss was the the T33, which I thought to be the F2H Banshee.
On a side note: the F/A 18 you showed was actually not a Hornet, but an F/A18F Super Hornet.
The f18 is literally exactly what i said. I could tell by the rectangular intakes
Actually it was an F/A-18 E, becuase it was a single seater.
yes, but F/A-18 can be used as normal designation, as the E/F is pretty much a "upgrade" to the C/D's and it is not in fact a F model. the F's are the twin, tandem, ones with a WSO in the back
Yeah I had some trouble with that one, but my logic said that that's a slower aircraft and as such would be a good trainer. Then I noticed the "T" designation.
Yes I was borderlline Banshee for a moment but it didn't seem beefy enough to me. I have an old 1950s Observer book of aircraft which helps with some really early jets and late props.
100% correct, but I took the full 10 seconds on the SU-34 and SU-57.
That's the only one I missed. I guess it was the 34.
@@JustinKais I had no idea, honestly it was a lucky guess.
As a scale modeler for 35 years, it's hard to miss any, I can even name the pods, weapons and version of the aircraft! Deep nerds they can even identify the squadrons and flying wings from the codes in some photos!
You could make this more challenging by grouping similar aircraft together or identifying by variants.
Example;
For the F-15 one, you could have had; "F-15A, F-15D, F-15E or F-15 STOL/MTD" as options (its the F-15E)
Throw in the C-17, C-5, C-130 and a B-52 as options together
Mixed in the F-5, MiG-29 and a F-16 for the the F-20
YF-17, F/A-18B, E/A-18G and F/A-18Fs for the Super Hornet
For the ultimate challenge, add obscure variants / export variants so you have to rely on marking schemes, livery and other equipment found on the plane to get the correct variant
or show smaller portions of the airplanes or from more oblique angles, that sort of thing
Oppure per farla veramente difficile fare solo con le sagome nere. Solo i profili. Allora li ti voglio vedere. 😅😅😅 =/\=
yeah like "F-86A-5, F-86-F2, F-86-F40" (one is the first sabre, one is an experimental version with 20mm cannons instead of MGs, one is the export variant)
How about B-29, B-50 and I think there was another variant the B-54. I don't know what you'd use for the fourth option.
Or all three Globemasters plus something else.
Tupolev Tu-4 coupled with the B-29! 😁
Put this on 2x speed and you got yourself medium difficulty
Unless you’re a real nerd, it just goes from peaceful to easy
Too EZ😂
@@Lieutenant_Matrixgod dammit that’s what I was going to say
@@Lieutenant_Matrixyour talking about me i love air crafts
@@A10_warthog_official a10_warthog_official... you sure you like planes?
Got 100%.
The F-15 Eagle was a F-15E Strike Eagle.
Stimmt. Und die FA 18 ist eine Super-Hornet. Ich glaube die Experten stehen hier auf der falschen Seite .
That was so easy, putting single engine WW2 aircraft amongst modern jets. As a 74 year old I got 100% right, no problem!
The picture of the EA-6B you used is from my old squadron, VAQ-140. We started using that flag tail scheme in 2005.
I always thought Prowler was the designation for EA-18s. Do you know what the designation for those are? I guess I could google it but it's more interesting to hear about it from people that know what they're talking about
@@ChickentNug I think the designation for EA-18s are Growlers.
Scored 100%, a little side story on the T33 Shooting Star, we had them at Eielson AFB in the late 70's and early 80's (when I was stationed there) and the brass used to fly them to stay current. One day an un-named high ranking officer was flying one and pulled the tip tank release while lifting off. Don't know if he thought he was raising the gear or what. Anyway 15,000' of runway came in handy for him as he just set it back down on the runway. The things you learn from the Tower Flowers that were in my squadron!!!
TFOA *maybe ??*
My dad was stationed at Eielson AFB at the time of that incident. It happened a total of 3 times. I witnessed one of the incidents when I was 10 years old (1979). The issue arises from the landing gear lever being 4 inches from the lever that released the tip tanks, it was a very easy mistake to make. One of the aircraft involved in one of the mishaps is on permanent static display in front of the airport in Kenai, Alaska.
I was at Eielson 1987 to 1990. We had ov10 broncos and A-10s at that time.
@@jaycooper2812 That's some good follow up information, I am assuming you know about Lady of the Lake as well, I was there 12/79 through 4/83, loved it there.
@@mikebennett9356 The Hogs came in while I was there, I inspected the TOSS (Target Optical Scoring System) at Blair Lakes. I wasn't aware ot the OV10 being there but knew they brought in the F-16 later
Enjoyed the quiz despite doing lousy (but better than I thought I would). Being a 73 yr old former A.F. AeroMed, I'm more familiar with planes such as C-7A Caribou, C-130 Hercs, C141A Starlifter, C-5 Galaxy. and my all time favorite & "home away from home" ... C-9 Nightingale. 😄
War thunder players :
Me?
Fr I’m doing good thx to that
Im an war Thunder Player and I actually got everything right lol
Fr fr
Loved this!!! My husband who was never in the military (but wanted to be) got 29/30 and we had a great time doing the test! Thank you for making me realize all the books I bought him the last 45 years was money well spent 😊
I dont know buddy my 13 year old son got 28/30, but still good to see some love towards the old husband.
Idk, this is easy af
Wait, you bought him books?
I'm 17, this year (2023, and happy new year by the way) and I got all of these right, which only 2 on a whim as I got distracted, but I should mention that I sped this by 2x.
Can we just let this be a wholesome comment?
I got them all and named 95% of them before the multiple choice answers came into view!!!! Woot woot🛩✈️
Thanks for the test..🤗...the only one i didn't know 🤔was the t-6 Texan....hope you do a 2 test whit more aircraft.....👍
I made the same mistake
At first I thought it was the TBF avenger but it wasnt an option so I went with t-6
@@Lieutenant_Matrix Harvard everywhere else.
The T6 Texan is one of the most well known planes, advanced trainer that most WWII pilots trained on !!!
Me too! I was too hasty when I saw the letter P- which was used to mark older fighter planes, forgetting that the P-40 was a famous Curtiss fighter plane! I even had a 1:72 scale model as a kid. What a mistake! After some time I realized that I had seen a video of T-6 a year ago and that T- stands for training plane. Well, I am old, a non-American, and English is my second language so I should be contended with one stupid mistake only. 🤨
Since I was in the USMC 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, I got all the answers correct. I've always prided myself in knowing and keeping abreast of all aircraft. VMA(AW)-224 was my squadron and we flew A-6A, A-6B, KA-6D tankers and EA-6B Prowlers. Cheers from eastern TN
30/30. 57 years old, male, ex-Navy (aviation electronics technician, 9 years active). I've built many aircraft models over my years. I admit I got lucky on a couple as they aren't easy to remember, but it helps when you know what the letter designations mean to help identify the type of aircraft: K = tanker, F = fighter, A = attack, etc, so knowing that along with the process of elimination helped.
Thanks you for you service.
also, B is for bomber, E is for electronic warfare like the EA-18 Growler, Y is for prototype if i'm not wrong
@@anonymjet4436 y is for prototype and x is also for prototypes that aren’t meant for service, testbeds for new weapons etc
@@captain_bubbles9142 Ah, i see, thanks for the insight 😁
C for cargo, X for experimental (prototype), P for maritime patrol (p for patrol), SR for strategic reconnaissance, T for trainer, UAV for unmanned aerial vehicle, MQ for multi role drone, RQ means reconnaissance drone, P for pursuit but nowadays after WW2 it is F for fighter, etc.
Also CF like CF-188 or CF-18 (Canadian F-18) stands for Canadian Fighter.
Also many other contries that make there own planes or variants of other planes don’t have F for fighter or C for cargo in front of there name, they will have the first couple or few words of the plane manufacture like the SU-57 is SU for Sukhoi, MIG-15 is for Mikoyan Gurevich, TU-95 is for Tupolev, or they don’t even have numbers like most European fighters like Eurofighter Typhoon and Panvania Tornado.
100%. Knew all of them before choices began to appear, except I almost mistook the F-20 for an F-5 tiger. Thankfully that wasn't one of the options so that prompted me to look at the tail and I noticed the single engine
Same, I only got 29 out of 30 though
Same I also got 100%
Same here
I got 26/30 I didn't know much about the older planes mostly the classic bombers and cargo planes,
I got 29/30, only one I missed was the t-33
Got um all! That was cool.
Thanks for posting!
I missed 3 of them, I grew up next to a municipal airport that is now an international airport and we had Airshows every year! My parents actually still live there now!
Only tough one is the Shooting Star --- because the Banshee actually looks pretty similar, and they were both at the very beginning of the jet age so you rarely see them.
The banshee looks nothing like it, it is almost double the size and it is blue with two engines and if you think it looks similar because of the outer wing fuel tanks than there is a pretty big gap between the two, they do not have what look like winglets
By that logic the Jet Provost T5 is also similar!
Yep right up till I seen the USAF markings.
Banshee is Navy Marines jet
Shooting star is Air Force
The horizontal fins of the tail of Banshee is high up while the ones of Shooting Star is more like conventional position.
The last thing is Banshee painted in blue black
Shooting star has the metal shiny aluminum finish skin.
@@rock3times Thank you! That's helpful.
30/30, 22 years old, father did naval aviation for almost 25 years. The only one I had trouble with was the T-6 Texan, which I initially thought was an SBD Dauntless (A-24 Banshee).
Not a T6 Harvard ?
@@steverpcb Canadians call it the Harvard, Americans call it the Texan…
Lie all his life as navy😅😅😅
The third one the B29 if it wasn't for the tail marking could have been the Tupolev Tu-4
27 of 30 non military service norwegian,missed the SU-57,T-33 and the T6-Texan look like the japanese planes
Non military female, 80 yrs. old. Scored 27 correct. Came from USAF family. My dad was a B24 Pilot in WWII
I spent 24 years in the USAF, so 30...
Iam also get 30 but ididnt worked on airforce🖐🏼️
Dido! And would do it again in a minute! Cheers
23 yrs in the Air Force in fuels, so I got up close and personal with a lot of those aircraft. I got 29 out of the 30.
Well I managed to get 6 wrong but I wasn't in the airforce nor am l an aircraft nerd
Got all of them
The F-15 was actually a Strike Eagle. If you'd asked me to quickly distinguish between an A-7 and F-8, you might have got me. Almost got me on the Sukhoi. Next time, how about including F-5, F-4, Tornado, Jaguar, A-37, C-141, Broncos, Caribous, Viggen, Rafales, the Century Series, Warsaw Bloc birds, and WWII Soviet, Axis, and Allied naval birds?
I thoroughly enjoyed this video
Thank you!
I can’t believe I actually got them all right. If only I was this good at assessment tests 😂
im saying, I've devoted my life to everything aviation, i got 30-30 and im extremely proud of myself, if only I could be this good in school XD
well i always get a 77% in math exams.
So i got 29 out of 30. I love aviation so much that i expected myself to get all of them, but i missed the T-33. That question was the one i was most unsure about, as my first guess was the F-104 Starfighter, but my next guess was the answer. Either way, this was cool and fun to do, and i would love to see more quizzes to test myself. Thank you so much for doing this!
same bro, i guessed f2a but realised that it wasn't. didnt look like a trainer plane to me
My first guess was the P-80 shooting star but the T-33 shooting star, ig it was just the training variant
Bro the t33 was the easiest one for me lol

Making it multiple choice just made it too easy. Although I didn't need to see the hint before being able to recognize the aircraft
This was pretty easy and not even that spesific
Really was a fun quiz...although I doubt any aviation enthusiast would need any more than a second or two to identify them. LOL!
...I'd also agree with some others, that grouping the same class of airframes together in the multiple choice would make it a bit more difficult for some of the not-so-inclined viewers. But overall, it was good fun, nice job! 👍
i took 0, 2 for the hard ones
yeah mixing in cargo and kc fuel carriers made it easy
30/30. 63-year old aviation artist and an aircraft modeller since I was just 13 years old. Happy to say my little boy of 12 years got two of the planes right, the Spitfire and the B-2. Very proud of him.
As a child, I could name any aeroplane in the sky, now as a 76 year old, I got 29/30.
I have loved planes since my grandpa gave me my first book. I have about shelf full from over the past 12 years so it makes sense that i got every single one.
This was almost comically easy. Then again, I grew up and US Air Force brat and then later joined the Air Force to become a fighter Crew Chief so I might have had just a TINY little advantage. The only ones I have never seen in person are the J-20 Mighty Dragon and the SU-57 Felon.
same same..I was a EWSS tech myself on FB-111 with the occasional buff check when the flew in.
Same. The only one I missed was mistaking the warhawk for the spitfire
@@jw9737 At first glance I almost made that error as well, but I looked at the wings to see the RAF symbol

F/A-18C vs F/A-18E
Typhoon vs Typhoon FGR4
Su-27SM vs Su-35S
etc.
I found myself trying to do this, particularly with the Spitfire. I think it's a Mk6 ~ early / mid war, perhaps early '42. It has the B wing, it has a slightly larger tail, (so it's not a mk 1) but not the pointed one for a Mk9, or later so...
They had an F/A 18 but you couldn't see the intakes, which is my prime give away.... I think it's a legacy Hornet.
The Mustang was a D model, because the A B and C had the 1940 style canopy. The D had the perspex bubble and the tail fin extension because of the cut down rear fuselage.
@@Kneedragon1962 Biggest giveaway on Baby vs Super Bugs is the LERXs. Super Bug LERXs are huge. Then the intakes. Supers are squared while Legacy are round.
Ok, If you were to look a bit more closely, you would see that the C-130 is actually an AC-130, because the recoilless cannon is sticking out in the back.
I got all of them correct except for the T-33
What part of the video was that?
Me too
Got all, no fail! Now I'm airborne.😁😂
You don’t need to be much of an aviation fan to even get this quiz correct
I got 28/30. I grew up living next to an airport, and seeing airshows every summer. I’m also in the process of getting my A&P licenses!
This deserves far more likes, great editing.
I failed 2, I could tell which planes they were even before the options
28 out of 30. Missed the SU-57 and I won't mention the other. Got them all before the options were shown. Wouldn't have changed my mind even after the options were shown. There were so many more that could have been in here. A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder, RA-5C Vigilante, P-47 Thunderbolt, A-3D Skywarrior, B-25 Mitchell, B-24 Liberator - just to name a few.
25/30 I got most of them except for the older planes, missile and aircraft roasting memes made this way easier to tell which one is which.
The mission letters at the front of planes name made it easier to identify which type of aircraft it is.
26 of 30 here. Missed a few of the old fighters. Oh well. Im an Air Force vet. I wished the SR-71 was on the test :)
- 5 not too bad for a guy who doesn't really pay a lot of attention to military aircraft - or commercial aircraft for that matter.
Ex-USAF Sargent here, even though I've been out for almost 40+ years now and not entirely up to date on what's being flown now ; i still scored 90% not too bad for a 67 year old !
This has to be the easiest test, try doing variants next rather than plane in general would be muchhhh harder
I was thinking the same thing!
Thanks for making me feel good about my aircraft knowledge with this easy quiz! Nice pics.
Just for the people that don’t know the difference inbetween the F35 and F22, it’s the canopy and F22 has 2 engines and F35 has 1
Enjoyed the test. Thanks
Made a 100% on guessing the planes. I just love military aircraft. My grandson was in the air force and he was amazed at what I know on these aircraft. My Dad's first plane was a PT-19 Navy trainer he bought in 1951 after WW2 .He also got his pilot license on the GI bill.
It was way too easy to be an ultimate quiz...though t-6 got me.
If it didn't have choices, it would had been more fun.
Nice test!
I got em all. Too easy.
cool music beat too
26 out 30 for me, I knew a lot of them before their respective names popped up, like the F-14 Tomcat, A-10 Thunderbolt 2, and P-51 Mustang were just a few that I knew just from the picture. Maybe do a test for Military Weapons like you did with this quiz :)
Killed it. I was good at this when I was in the military. In some test we had to ID the aircraft by sound and some details like model type of some aircraft like what type of F-16 was in a picture? F-16A, F-16B, etc, etc. I never made a perfect score on those test, but would come close. You would be amazed by some of little visual things that you would have to identify what was what. Of course new tech would make model type change, but we didn't get tested on that. I' sure that would be rough.
You had to ID aircraft by sound? What did you do in the military?
All of them except the starfighter and the texan
I got 100% I could name them even before the possible answers came up.
Scored 29 out of 30. Got the T-6 Texan wrong. Plus a couple of close calls that I got right. Thanks, was fun doing the quiz!
T6 Texan was one of the easiest !! very distinct nothing else like it !!
I got the T6 immediately because it was the first aircraft I ever went flying in. Always get a few goosebumps when I see one of them. (Got 29 out of 30, BTW, and would have gotten 30 except that I second guessed myself on one.)
Same here that was the only one I have'nt seen. I have worked on the F111,F16,KC135,F15,F4 and the EF111.
Me too.
Also 29/30, Texan fail 😉
I missed three, that was fun. My dad was an Air Force fighter pilot so I’ve always loved aircraft. 👍👏
30/30….. aviation buff since I was a kid…. Now 74. I named 24 of them before any choices appeared. This was fun, but easy. Should have included more Russian aircraft to increase difficulty.
I failed in the Shooting Star. I couldn’t decide Banshee or Shooting Star. The other one I chose P-40 but it wasn’t.
28/30, is not bad.
The Shooting Star was originally designated as the P-80 Shooting Star and was the first operational jet fighter in the United States Air Force inventory. It was later redesignated T-33 when it became a training aircraft and was fitted with a second seat. It was originally armed with 6 .50 caliber Browning M2 machine guns. The fuel tanks on the wing tips were add after the aircraft was no longer a front line fighter.
P-80's, later redesignated F-80's, were powered by fuel-guzzling first generation turbojets. Out of necessity, they were equipped with 165 gallon tip tanks very early in their service life. Later, 235 gallon tanks were mounted. In fact, it was uncommon to see the a/c w/o tip tanks. (Source: Shooting Star, T-bird & Starfire by Rhodes Arnold)
Almost correct, the t33 was based on the p80/f80. The designation didn't change it was a two seat trainer vs a single seat fighter.
thats what got me man, i just didnt decide any cause i only know it as the f-80
The P80 was redesignated F80 and was a single seat fighter-bomber. The T33 wasn’t a redesignation, but a purpose-built two sear trainer version (not a conversion) of the same airframe.
It was also the first Skunk Works plane, iirc
I'm glad I know the designation system. Otherwise I would have gotten about half as many right.
Pretty easy for any Mil aircraft enthusiast, for me the F-111 which I may have crewed since I was stationed @ RAF Upper Heyford, the UH on the tail, back in the early to mid 1980's and being in Transient Alert during the same time period and a F-16 Fighting Falcon crew chief, Flightline Expediter & a ProSuper for the Tx Ang from 1990 to 2023.
Harrier, Eurofighter, J-20, SU-57, Spitfire.
There were exactly 5 aircraft in this 30 aircraft quiz that were not American made, and one of those (the Harrier) was still in American service and the quiz used the American designation "AV-8" which the British (to my knowledge) didn't use.
Easy 100%... Well except for like 2 or 3, those I needed all the choices to pop up and figure based on designation, like the T-33 for example.
With the Eurofighter part, ya coulda had like the Gripen, the Viggen and the Rafale as the wrong options, also coulda added F-5 beside the F-20... most of the choices were just funny and dead obvious, having similar looking aircraft woulda added quite a bit of difficulty.
My grandpa helped MAKE the B-1 lancer! And he flew as the PILOT in the B-52 bomber with nukes in it! He died from cancer because of the nukes 😢 I really wish I got to meet him 😢😢
Stop lieing
Great video. 29/30. The T-33 got me.
Super fun quiz. What are everyone's favorite planes? Mine is A-10.
Great quiz! I could name most of the planes on 1st sight but the multiple choice allowed me to get 29 out of 30. Missed the Shooting Star, thought it was a Banshee.
The USAF marking was the giveaway. The Banshee was a Navy fighter.
Only had to wait for three of the multiple choice answers to appear...Su57, J20 and T33. The first two as they are rarely seen over US skies, and the last because I missed the tandom cockpit. So, all in all, I'd give myself a 29 1/2...as I blurted out F80 at first appearance, then crossed that out for the correct answer of T33.
Very fun. Hope to see more like this!
Thankd for the admission, makes me feel a little better because i did the same thing.
If the Su-57 or J-20 appear in U.S. skies we are in deep trouble!
@@gordonbergslien30 Kinda depends on why they're there, wouldn't it?
@@hayzeuscrust4517 dude i did the same thing!
Same here
Missing in action - a Saab Gripen and a the Tornado?!
I knew 28 aircraft out of 30. What I haven't known is the C-130 and the T-33.
100% I was able to identify 26 without the multiple choice aid. I've been an airplane nut since I was 5 years old. I'm 83 now. ANG retired E-7. Great quiz. Thanks.
I liked how you used the F-15 as your first question, it’s the most iconic and canonical fighter jet so why not get the easiest question out of the way first.👍
I would say the most iconic is the a-10
@@dylanclaesgens8394 The A-10 is an attack aircraft, not a fighter. The "A" in A-10 stands for attacker while the "F" in F-15 stands for fighter. Attack aircraft are designed to take out ground targets rather then engage in aerial combat like fighters.
I think the F-22 is more iconic, and a bit easier since it’s pretty distinct from other aircraft, while the F-15 shares a general shape of some other aircraft
@@max2ube907 But that's why I regard the F-15 as canonical because it shares features of multiple other fighters all in one plane!
True
Except T-6 I got all right
I'm an Air Force Bratt and my Father was a Pilot but I only missed 2...the E10-Extender(Navy) and the SU-57.
100% gang
👇
97% isn't bad. Missed one WWII Era birds. I knew all the others. 20 years in the USAF and ANG. I worked on many of them in my time, some not shown as well like the F4 Phantom.
Others I either saw at various bases, flew in (including the C-5 Galaxy, C-17 Globemaster, KC10 and KC-135 along with the C-141A Short-body (also not shown), and HH-60 Helo.
I got 30 /30 i always loved planes ,My Dad worked at Lockheed Marietta Ga. on every C-5 ever built i was on 41highway /Cobb Parkway the morning that the 1st C-5 ever flew i was 9 i think .he also worked on C-141 Stretch and the C-130 forgot which version and the Jet Star Corporate Jet , i was in the USAF at Tyndall AFB on T-33 lol and before AF WAS IN THE 117TH Tactical Recon Wing Birmingham Al. RF-4C Recon Phantoms no guns lol just cameras . One got hit by duck did 128K damage this is in 78 , hit below canopy release buttons and took out the RAT controls when it punched (i think pilot said they were at 600 mph 400 ft off the ground over a swamp or lake don't remember) thru guts all over camera man lol, i was 18 i was up on it talking to pilot it ws in the hanger and found a duck foot , gave to pilot as Trophy lol GOOD TIMES
i am ashamed to have gotten only 29/30. T-6 Texan got me...
got three wrong, some of the ones with the planes from WW2 because I only know about modern planes 😂
yeah but he used some iconic ww2 planes so i kinda knew but not all
For me that and a few of the cargo ones
@@Mark-tp5sk Iconic if you are American, I only know British and German WW2 planes.
Am I considered as a nerd, if I guessed them all correctly?
If you had to guess on all of them, you are just considered lucky 😂
You are a geek
