Into which of those bins do we put the bricks of smog?

None, they don't bother recycling those because they have plenty of new ones every day.

Recycling, youbetcha. I'd guess the red one might be for sharps.

What the hell is this? From a movie or TV show?

Here it is. //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_V-173

I'd never seen one in color before. It that a current picture of a historic plane or an old picture of a new plane?

OK, thanks fargon. 1942 to 1947 testing.

Gravdigr 12-15-2015 02:05 PM

Do you remember where you found that pic?

xoxoxoBruce 12-15-2015 03:23 PM

Yes, one of the tumblr sites with nothing but pictures, no information, and very rarely even a link to where it came from. I tried to image search and struck out, which is unusual, not even other sites with the picture, no less information.

Well, the paint scheme matches the plane at the wikipedia link above.

It's probably the "Restored Vought V-173 frontal view at the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas, TX"

All I did was google image search.

I did a TinEye search and only 3 results came back.

All 3 page links go to the same page, Google Mobile. There is no Flying Flapjack there.
