I volunteer at a local air museum (Planes of Fame in Chino, Ca- I'm a B-17 mechanic) and they post a weekly newsletter for the volunteers. In the newsletter is a section called "guess that plane" where they post an obscure close up picture of one of the planes for the volunteers to guess at. I figured that would make for an interesting thread here, I think there was a thread like this a while back but I don't think it's too active anymore.
The rules are simple-
Take or acquire a close-up picture of a part of an aircraft (doesn't have to be fixed wing.) It must be a recognizable part- don't just take a pic of bare sheet metal on part of a wing with no identifying features.
Post the pic here for other users to guess. You can give some hints if you want to or feel that your pic might be too hard without them, but you don't have to.
Have fun guessing other user's pictures.
Here's my first entry, I took this at the Palm Springs Air Museum last week. This is the leading edge of a wing:
