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

xoxoxoBruce · 12-02-2015, 01:12 PM

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

BigV · 12-10-2015, 07:20 PM

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

xoxoxoBruce · 12-14-2015, 10:19 PM

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

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

glatt · 12-15-2015, 07:28 AM

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?

xoxoxoBruce · 12-15-2015, 10:44 AM

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.

glatt · 12-15-2015, 03:26 PM

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"

fargon · 12-15-2015, 03:38 PM

All I did was google image search.

Gravdigr · 12-15-2015, 04:26 PM

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.
