View Full Version : Please ID these two aircraft

I'm wrapping up my Oshkosh scrapbook for this year and doing some last
minute editing. It's time for some expert help from the warbird
crowd. Please ID these two aircraft.
I called this one a YAK but I'm not positive. If you can positively ID
the plane, what features give it away?

Is the following a C-141A or C-141B?

Hard to tell from that angle but does look "Yakish" <G>

C-141B

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Or possibly a C? I believe some 60 plus of the B's were modified to
that level with its glass cockpit.
