This one should be pretty easy. No reverse GIS, please. That’s cheating and you know it.

Aye, matey. Fascinating story behind that plane, actually. 6 months from service, crews in training, and it was yanked in favor of nuclear subs.

No, it’s that one.

I always liked the engines-above-the-wings aircraft designs. They’re kind of funky.

On the plus side, aircraft maintainers everywhere let out a sigh of relief.

There’s nothing quite like working a new airframe that doesn’t yet have books full of technical data available to mechanics. It’s a bit of a grey area that brings with it risks and can become a point of contention among ground crew.

I think that pic of it being a sea plane just above this answered my question.
