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!

[@Kpar512]

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.

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.

[@user-ii6sy4ow4s]

The f18 is literally exactly what i said. I could tell by the rectangular intakes

[@bowenbrown]

Actually it was an F/A-18 E, becuase it was a single seater.

[@thedensecheesewiz]

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

[@drgruber57]

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.

[@stephenbesley3177]

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.

[@timmyers3428]

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!!!

[@allengrant]

TFOA *maybe ??*

[@jaycooper2812]

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.

[@kiwigoose698]

Can we just let this be a wholesome comment?

[@CallsignYukiMizuki]

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

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.

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.

[@jw9737]

Same. The only one I missed was mistaking the warhawk for the spitfire

[@wolfsdarkshadow]

@@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

[@KlipsenTube]

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.

[@user-wf7ur2fl8r]

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.

[@user-ij8ew2st6r]

i really don't understand how you only have 9,08k subs you deserve more

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!

[@StephenDawson-ih5mm]

100 % thanks enjoyed that Steve U.K.

[@jim-stacy]

Too easy! Ya should have included planes like TS2, XB70 or the original english electric lightning, but id still got it. Great quiz

[@drpill1230]

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.

[@greatace3627]

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.

[@jeffrielley920]

You had to ID aircraft by sound? What did you do in the military?

[@gld1010]

100% but then again, I have been following military aircraft from WWII to now and I knew the planes that were displayed. Almost got me on the T-33 and T-6. May have gotten me in a complete or obscure WWII fighter test or the different Sukhois variants depending on the multiple choice answer. Only missed one on the website, the C32 got me. Thanks for the fun!

[@raysullenberger5626]

That was fun, had to use bit of deductive reasoning 😊

[@AliensFan25]

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 :)

[@ltdoc]

I'm glad I know the designation system. Otherwise I would have gotten about half as many right.

[@user-qv7kq8kn6z]

100% (: I love military aircraft I watch the infographics show.

[@guidohauptmann4455]

Got all, no fail! Now I'm airborne.😁😂

[@willischang6956]

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.

[@Paul-in-Missouri]

The USAF marking was the giveaway. The Banshee was a Navy fighter.

[@hunormagyar1843]

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.

[@AirJoe]

Easy W nice quiz F-20 took me the longest though

[@ulrikhansen7940]

100% The choices made this "quiz" too easy.

[@charitallman5742]

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!

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

T6 Texan was one of the easiest !! very distinct nothing else like it !!

[@davidsandberg6179]

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.)

[@rigmerkrel8339]

Same here that was the only one I have'nt seen. I have worked on the F111,F16,KC135,F15,F4 and the EF111.

[@razony]

Me too.

[@machopiaggio6007]

Also 29/30, Texan fail 😉

[@zenmexican3642]

This has to be the easiest test, try doing variants next rather than plane in general would be muchhhh harder

Great video. 29/30. The T-33 got me. Super fun quiz. What are everyone's favorite planes? Mine is A-10.

[@brianhanson5110]

I got 4 wrong. Awesome quiz. Thank you.

[@LRRPFco52]

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)

[@Kneedragon1962]

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.

[@LRRPFco52]

@@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.

[@robertweldon7909]

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.

[@woodrowsmith3400]

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!

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 KZbin videos of the complete start-up and flight of Hueys. I could fall asleep peacefully to the sound alone. 👍😎🇺🇲.

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]

I would say the most iconic is the a-10

[@ChrisZoomER]

@@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.

[@max2ube907]

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

[@ChrisZoomER]

@@max2ube907 But that's why I regard the F-15 as canonical because it shares features of multiple other fighters all in one plane!

[@kierantrolland7360]

True

[@jaycooper2812]

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.

[@gordonbergslien30]

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)

[@cannonfodder6299]

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.

[@kari.77]

thats what got me man, i just didnt decide any cause i only know it as the f-80

[@neilturner6749]

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
