Guess the PSS Plane Name Game
This is a famous plane and my co-worker , Phillip Otto is working flat out to have it ready next weekend. Glen, if you can tell me before anyone else dose I buy you a beer at Volkies next weekend.
Hi Piet, Can I also win a beer, I would guess with that low cockpit, and big round nose , it would be a racer with a big radial, probably one of the later GEEBEE racers? Mike
2006.09.15 16:42:23: Mike Brown in Hawker Sea Fury "September Fury", Race 232, won Unlimited Heat 2A with a speed of 471.566 mph. http://www.airrace.org/2006ncargallery.php
Hi Piet, As it is far from complete and you gave me 3 guesses. It's a radial for sure, but maybe the cowling and canopy are off. So it could be Harvard (Texan). Mike
Yeah baby, we have a winner. That cold beer is going to taste so sweet, it may even lead to a few more! Thanks Piet. PS - Hows the Rockwell coming along?

Hi Mike,
You have 2 Guesses left. So only the first correct answer will get that cold beer.
Okay Piet, my best guess for a beer is a Chance Vought F4U Corsair
How did I do? - Did I win a beer?
Glen
If the Corsair is not the right answer, my next best guess is a Hughes H-1 Racer. How am I doing?
I recon it's the Corsair.
I need that beer!

Hi Glen your second guess was right
So the beer goes your way.
Hughes H-1 Racer
