Son of Dorn, "engine out of an M1A1" would be my guess. (tank engine)
And the answer to your second question would be "the view of my/our truck when I'm driving" if you were to actually believe My Lady and her description of how I drive... like I'm on a mission and on a football field at the same time.

Lol a turbine engine in a b29 would be neat!!!
Well it ain't the nuclear jet engine (HTRE-3)
Heinkel He-111?
Correct!
ME 262 engine.
And the engine model?
Jumo 004b?
Junkers Jumo 004, aye. You win!
Great looking aircraft, the flying replicas you have over there are very interesting too.
Okay chaps. ID this:
It is held together by a hose clamp!? WTF!
What special operations force has a measuring wheel for a certain tactical mission set that they carry with them onto the X?
What do you mean by "measuring wheel"?
Too easy...
Not pathfinders. Pathfinders are not a SOF force.
Measuring wheel like they use in track.
Path finders use a measuring wheel I thought when clearing LZ's....
Pathfinders are not SOF. It is a school you can go to.
I'm well aware of that but wasnt sure if you knew what you were talking about haha.
Okay so same kind of measuring wheel huh... Are they making sure helo's can land on the lz with said measuring wheel?
Who was the army captain who is credited as being the first white man to cross the river into Ohio?
Para rescue
Nope.
Thank you for clarifying that!
USAF Combat Controller
Correct. You win.
Is it possible that the 'why/what for' can be described here? Curious....
Greetings,
They are a distance measuring device. Same thing you see on road projects, just rattle canned. Used on "site surveys " for potential Drop / Landing zone. Rolled a few in Honduras, mid 80's.

Not to change the direction of the thread but I thought this might be of interest to some. A B-17 crashed near here in 1944 while on a training flight and here is some of the stuff I picked up at the site. It was carrying a full load of fuel so most is chunks of melted aluminum. There are 8 more crash sites ( 2- B24, 2 - B17, 1- B26, 2 -F 86D, 1 - C39 ) within 15 miles of here so I have more to do during our time of "social distancing".

Neat. Back in the '50s an F-86 collided with a B-47 not far from where I live. The Sabre pilot ejected but the plane was lost over the water. The B-47 made it home.
But the bomber dropped its (unarmed) payload. Its nuclear payload. Which has never been recovered or even precisely located.
"Near here."here?
The Tybee Island mid-air collision was an incident on February 5, 1958, in which the United States Air Force lost a 7,600-pound (3,400 kg) Mark 15 nuclear bomb in the waters off Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia, United States. During a practice exercise, an F-86 fighter plane collided with the B-47 bomber carrying the bomb. To protect the aircrew from a possible detonation in the event of a crash, the bomb was jettisoned. Following several unsuccessful searches, the bomb was presumed lost somewhere in Wassaw Sound off the shores of Tybee Island.
That's the one, yep. Tybee's less than 15 miles from where I live. So there's a degrading nuclear bomb been sitting merrily off my coast somewhere for the past sixty-odd years. Fun thought, isn't it?
Wayne Nebraska. Along the flight path from Sioux City Iowa to Ainsworth NE and the Badlands Bombing Range in SW South Dakota.
Typo on my part the 2 jets were F-86D models. Involved in a midair collision in 1956. The location of 1 is known, I have searched for 3 years for the second jet with no success.

So a military jeopardy question....
If you are served white wine and pudding, what school have you just graduated from?

Sandhurst
Nope.
Pudding as in the American soft dessert, or pudding as in the generic term for dessert? Or like a suet/Christmas/plum pudding?
