The pictures are very little. But it looks like an SF airplane of Star Wars, Star Trek, Buck Rogers etc. etc., if I see the left picture. The second picture is to bad to get a complete vision of the plane.
I can't really tell you what it is. Maybe Russian?
There goes mine price, good luck to other competers with this.

WOW Stinger. If that was off the top of your head I'm impressed! You are correct.

it was more or less... I had to double check the ID number and its missing its wings so that kinda thru me off... but the cockpit was pretty unique and led to my outburst whilst sitting at the computer "Hey that the caspian sea monster!!".

I reconize the first one, but now the name. It is typicall an "oh yeah" question. When you heard the answer you say: "oh yeah, that is the one!"
I am gonna find out that name of plane.

Weasel_80-204, thanks for the quiz questions. Nice!

P4M Mercator, would have been a maritime reconnasaince aircraft but it got beat out by the P2 Neptune.

this one I had to do a little research on... I knew it was Navy and the engine type dated the AC to between 1944 and 1950 (most likely) so it wasn't to hard to find.

As far as I know 2 prototypes were built. The pic is the first one which was destroyed while testing it on the ground.
The second one had a different vert. stabilizer, which was bigger, and I think the wingtips were different, too.

Is that Jack Northrop in the cockpit of the XP-56?

Homer, that is the first prototype and the second does have a verticle stab. So you're right on again!

Stinger, once again comes through with a correctamundo!

I gotta get some better questions.

All the answers what I wanna say is given. I am to slow. And the P4M Mercurator, was an "Oh yeah, that name of the plane". I knew it!

Keep going on.

I thought it was this, but that is the wrong one.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-13_Vertijet

When I good think, this was one without a X-number. I have seen this picture before. And I did knew the name. I am shamed of myself, I see pictures, know the planes, but couldn't find the names in my memory.

Salute
Dutchy

ps. I don't give up.
