Milspotters' Challenge: A Look of Horror, With Mystery Craft

Okay, Minicapt: Do your worst! I have added an extra layer of confoundingness. A pic from earlier days. There is a reason I have a "You've got to be kidding me" look on my face. It has to do with the mystery craft, and workings thereof. Before I tell you what that's all about: Identify, if you will, the metallic object I am perched atop. Mark and Michael already know the answer, and are banned from giving it away.

I'd say that's either an F-102 or an F-106. Can't say for certain but if forced to guess I'd go with F-102. Of course, I could be (and probably am) completely wrong.

It IS an aircraft though, I think we can rule out ground vehicles of the tracked variety. Of that much I'm as certain as one can be in these uncertain times.

Susan Katz Keating said...

Excellent. Excellent. Is that your final answer?

Bill said...

I'd say F-106 just based on the (guesstimation) time frame and the fact the Delta Dart would have been more in operational use by then.

*rubs hands gleefully*

Keep going, lads...

El jefe said...

I want to know the story behind the look on your face, it's like, Oh Fuck!

OldAFSarge said...

F-102. That's my final answer. I'd phone a friend but none of them are returning my calls. Bastards! (Did I actually just type that? Guess I did, too late to take it back.)

Susan Katz Keating said...

*high five* to the OldAFSarge! An F-102 it is, indeed! If you ping me on email, I shall send you a Madison Rising CD as your prize! I'll hold off a bit on the backstory, to see if Minicapt wakes up on the west coast.

OldAFSarge said...

E-mail is on the way.

A very thrilling moment for your's truly. I knew that having a roommate back in the day who worked F-106's would come in handy someday.

Mark said...

Well since it has been identified, then I can say, I had no clue what it was. But my guess is your looking lovingly at you beau, and thinking what a handsome man....

Minicapt said...

F-102A

Cheers

Being a squid, I am not certain why I would know this...but then again I do suffer from CRS...

Susan Katz Keating said...

Michael and Mark, I posted the pic on my FB a couple days ago, and I... oh, never mind. Pinch got it wrong, and he's on my FB, too...

As for the look on my face. Yes, my friend was very easy on the eyes - but this is a look of horror, not affection. Because... stay tuned.

Michael said...

Is the unseen hand some place it shouldn't be?

Susan Katz Keating said...

Of course not! You're just saying these things in hopes that I will forget about the sandwich you promised to send me from Disneyworld!

Michael said...

DisneyWorld? Long way from the 805...Sure you don't have me confused with another Reprobate?

Susan Katz Keating said...

Whups! That was for Mark. He was supposed to mail me a sandwich from DW!

Michael said...

Blonde moment forgiven. I still love you :-p

Susan Katz Keating said...

*whew*

Wait. I'm not blonde! Does that mean... wait... hmmm....

Minicapt said...

'Grey' is like 'Blonde'.

Cheers

Just tell us about the guy! Inquiring minds want the truth about the important issue - your love life!

Another Navy Guy said...

Yes, SKK. Do tell.
