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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 😉
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 😊
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.
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!!!
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.

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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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. 😄
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! 👍
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).
100%. OK.!!! I’ve been a a/c kits builder/collector, since young boy. (1950’s) !!! I’m 81 years young, and still building them…. Try a test with the subtype and variants.!!!
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.
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!
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.
Did national service in the RDAF air base air defence at Værløse (radio operator with a 40 mm Bofors AA unit). Never worked with aircraft before or since - exept for plastic kits. 30/30. I guess they did an OK job of teaching me aircraft recognition.
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
Each sample should have multiple options for the same basic airframe, but only the correct model, block, and upgrade listed. For example: F-15E (with LITENING TGT Pod-the one shown) F-15C F-15D F-15J Harrier GR4 AV-8B Harrier II AV-8A AV-8B Harrier II+ with APG-65 upgrade (this is what was shown) KC-135A KC-135Q KC-135R (shown)
@@heisenb3rg662 You absolutely can tell very quickly from external indicators the differences between: F-16A Block 1, 5, 10 vs 15 F-16A vs F-16AM F-16C Block 30 vs F-16C Block 40 F-16C Block 40 vs F-16CM Block 40 Block 40 vs 50 A-10A vs A-10C F-4E vs F-4G F-15C vs F-15C with APG-63(V)3 AESA F-15A vs F-15J F-5A vs F-5E F-14A vs F-14B vs F-14D 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.
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.
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. 🤨
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.)
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.👍
@@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
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)
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.
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!
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
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 !
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 😢😢
My all-time favorite planes are the F4 Phantom, the WWII Corsair and the B17 Flying Fortress. Too bad there's no coppers in this quiz. I am in love with the Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" helicopter. I love the way it looks and the sound of its rotors as they pummel the air. A thing if beauty. I am a 54 year-old, so I've never been to Vietnam, but for some reason the Phantom and Huey from that time period just captivate the hell out of me. I actually have saved UA-cam videos of the complete start-up and flight of Hueys. I could fall asleep peacefully to the sound alone. 👍😎🇺🇲.
Being a 75 year old Male my Uncle Jack was a tail gunner on the B-17 and working for the LADWP I met his Apprentice who flew the A-1 in the Korean War.
Another interesting thing was I have a home in Homer Alaska a guy brought the property below my property and as I talking a walk I started talking to him, He had worked for the CIA but before that he flew the Wild Weasel F-4 in Vietnam and my Professor in Vertebrate Paleontology described taught him about the Lateral Line in Fish that led to the development of the Sam missile position.
Yeah, pretty easy, even for a relative novice who knows anything about military aircraft. Had you started putting up Su-11 Fishpots, English Electric Lightnings, IA 58 Pucarás, Atlas Cheetahs, A3D Skywarriors, or F-106 Delta Darts, people might have at least had to wait for the options and use a process of elimination.
So easy - 100%. At least make the quiz difficult by either only showing parts of an aircraft in a photo or photos from odd angles, taken in poor conditions etc Or the same aircraft but asking for a particular mark of an aircraft.

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

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
@@Crawdaddyluke 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.
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.
100% - I guess 11 years in the Air Force and being an airplane nerd helped with that.
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
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.
My husband just did this quiz and got 100%. He got each answer even before the 4 options came on the screen. That's my man!
To think people don’t think we learn stuff like this when we are serving. Nailed this!
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.
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
@@jeancarson4648 don’t be rude
@@jeancarson4648lol
Missed 4. That's not bad for a person like me who knows a bit of military aircraft. Especially when I'm into ace combat
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. 😄
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, 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😅😅😅
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 :)
100%. OK.!!!
I’ve been a a/c kits builder/collector, since young boy. (1950’s) !!!
I’m 81 years young, and still building them….
Try a test with the subtype and variants.!!!
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.
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.
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!
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 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
Same Former F-16 Crew Chief here. Also Air Force Brat. 30/30
Did national service in the RDAF air base air defence at Værløse (radio operator with a 40 mm Bofors AA unit).
Never worked with aircraft before or since - exept for plastic kits. 30/30.
I guess they did an OK job of teaching me aircraft recognition.
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!
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
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
I got all of them correct except for the T-33
What part of the video was that?
Me too
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 .
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.
@@jeanbissondamn, i got one wrong and it was the t33, the one plane on the list i never heard about
@@JustinKais The 57.
i got it right
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!
Each sample should have multiple options for the same basic airframe, but only the correct model, block, and upgrade listed. For example:
F-15E (with LITENING TGT Pod-the one shown)
F-15C
F-15D
F-15J
Harrier GR4
AV-8B Harrier II
AV-8A
AV-8B Harrier II+ with APG-65 upgrade (this is what was shown)
KC-135A
KC-135Q
KC-135R (shown)
It’s not possible to guess the modification of aircraft because they almost have same look
@@heisenb3rg662 You absolutely can tell very quickly from external indicators the differences between:
F-16A Block 1, 5, 10 vs 15
F-16A vs F-16AM
F-16C Block 30 vs F-16C Block 40
F-16C Block 40 vs F-16CM Block 40
Block 40 vs 50
A-10A vs A-10C
F-4E vs F-4G
F-15C vs F-15C with APG-63(V)3 AESA
F-15A vs F-15J
F-5A vs F-5E
F-14A vs F-14B vs F-14D
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.
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.
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. 🤨
I missed three, that was fun. My dad was an Air Force fighter pilot so I’ve always loved aircraft. 👍👏
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.

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
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
Only 3 wrong
The air refueling tankers almost got me😅 I guess I am a certified nerd🤓🤓🤓
You were thinking “looks like a FedX MD-11” but remembered it’s a DC-10 in military outfit….same
100% The choices made this "quiz" too easy.
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!

I grew up in the 70’s and was a Army Ranger 1984-1988, I got a 100% on the Aircraft Quiz
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
That was so easy, putting single engine WW2 aircraft amongst modern jets. As a 74 year old I got 100% right, no problem!
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.
I got 28/30, which is REALLY good! ✈
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 !
The third one the B29 if it wasn't for the tail marking could have been the Tupolev Tu-4
They copied the hell out of it so no real surprise
WWII Lend-Lease, they also had lots of Katyushas mounted on Ford trucks too
You don’t need to be much of an aviation fan to even get this quiz correct
Got them all right. I was in the Air Force for just over 21 years. Plus I took a lot of pictures of old planes and newer ones.

100% (: I love military aircraft I watch the infographics show.
My husband just aced this. Called them out, didn't even need multiple choice!
I got every one right
I got them ALL right 💯💯💯
30 for 30 100 %, and I named most all without the multi choice !!!
My all-time favorite planes are the F4 Phantom, the WWII Corsair and the B17 Flying Fortress. Too bad there's no coppers in this quiz. I am in love with the Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" helicopter. I love the way it looks and the sound of its rotors as they pummel the air. A thing if beauty. I am a 54 year-old, so I've never been to Vietnam, but for some reason the Phantom and Huey from that time period just captivate the hell out of me. I actually have saved UA-cam videos of the complete start-up and flight of Hueys. I could fall asleep peacefully to the sound alone. 👍😎🇺🇲.
Being a 75 year old Male my Uncle Jack was a tail gunner on the B-17 and working for the LADWP I met his Apprentice who flew the A-1 in the Korean War.
Another interesting thing was I have a home in Homer Alaska a guy brought the property below my property and as I talking a walk I started talking to him, He had worked for the CIA but before that he flew the Wild Weasel F-4 in Vietnam and my Professor in Vertebrate Paleontology described taught him about the Lateral Line in Fish that led to the development of the Sam missile position.
That was fun but you gotta make it a lot tougher for us aviation nerds. And faster and no multiple choice.
I failed 2, I could tell which planes they were even before the options
I got them all correct 🗿
Yeah, pretty easy, even for a relative novice who knows anything about military aircraft. Had you started putting up Su-11 Fishpots, English Electric Lightnings, IA 58 Pucarás, Atlas Cheetahs, A3D Skywarriors, or F-106 Delta Darts, people might have at least had to wait for the options and use a process of elimination.
So easy - 100%.
At least make the quiz difficult by either only showing parts of an aircraft in a photo or photos from odd angles, taken in poor conditions etc Or the same aircraft but asking for a particular mark of an aircraft.
100% That was too easy 😉
This was pretty easy and not even that spesific
That was easy 😊
Ive answered 25 out of 30, I'm a computer programmer but my childhood was all about toys with airplanes and jetfighters😊. Thanks for applauding.

I don't know anything about planes and got 50 percent correct from watching videos about planes in general. I must have learned something.
I don’t want to be that guy but it’s officially A10 thunderbolt II and not warthog 8:05
The Su-57 or SU-34 was tricky for me, but I guessed right. All the others were easy peasey, especially the the poor choice of alternative answers.
