Mystery Vortex Generators Identified - It's A T-45 Goshawk
Here's the uncropped pic of the T-45 Goshawk wing from yesterday's Name The Plane game. Normally I would have had this posted sooner but I just had too much going on! There was also a little confusion as I had a semi correct answer show up overnight but it didn't include the 'MAKE' as the directions state. Turns out the 'make' on a T-45 is sort of a multiple choice answer... BAE and McDonnell Douglas partnered to build them, but now that MD is really Boeing, any of those three makers would have been correct enough to win.
In the end it was Luke C that was the first to provide the correct make and model. So, it's bacon sandwich winnings at Oshkosh 2011 (if he's able to get there) - that's a pretty sweet prize for figuring out what those vortex generators belong to. The picture below from Sun-n-Fun 2011 gives a little better idea of what this particular T-45 looked like. Sure looks like it would be fun to fly : )
