Note: The aircraft in the image above IS NOT the subject aircraft.

EDIT: Laird Andy McBratlie takes by correctly identifying the Morane-Saulnier M.S.406.

The 406 was a French fighter used in the early stages of WWII. While it was a solid aircraft, it could not compete with the German Bf 109 and subsequently saw significant losses.

Until next time...

Happy Friday Opponauts! Welcome to another installment of NTP.

As always, first to correctly identify the aircraft below wins the satisfaction of a job well-done!

Looks like the Dewointine D.520's little brother. Definitely French. Morane-Saulnier 406 or something.

A couple more shots of that bird. I would have nailed that one. Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!

Ribbed for no one's pleasure. Too bad we can't tag people in posts. If we could I'd just throw your name in there and see if anyone could beat you to it.

Well, because everyone already named the M.S. 406, Ima name the top one. A-36 Apache.

Good eye, even through the blur I overlaid on it! I snapped that at Oshkosh a couple years ago and used it for my first NTP post .
