Neither, I'm afraid. Think aviation history...
The red baron? Manfred von Richthofen?
As in the line 'where answers can be read'
Or am I way off?
Also no, although a clever catch. I would suggest that those seeking the answer read the entire riddle word...by...word. :cool:
'Tis a plane, if that helps.
Spitfire?
Don't know why, although.
Sopworth Camel?
Neither. The first line should be one of the easier ones to decipher, if you're looking for the plane itself, though I imagine it looks much easier from my point of view than yours. :(
MIG fighter planes????
EDIT: Mikoyan & Gurevich (Russian aircraft designers) Dont know a thing about these designers, though, :p I only know these are fighter planes....
Mmm, no, afraid not.
Developed in the 1950s, if I'm not mistaken.
MIGs developed in 1950s???
more hint please....
Why "the best WAY WAY to get one" - mistype or vital clue?
Tracts are small areas of land. This you said was a plane. Harrier Jump Jet They take off and land vertically, but fly like a regular plane. Thus, no need for a long runway. :)
Whoopsies, you're right, Whiffling. My mistake - it has been corrected.Quote:
X-Wing or TIE?
Neither, in fact.
This aerial warrior
Lands often on tracts.
The best way to get one,
As people once said?
Look for the line
Where answers can be read.
Kaisers and Fuhrers
Would loathe this pilot's bane
Less often in sky,
More often in plain.
Pendragon, you are SOOO close, you can almost taste it. It's not the Jump Jet, and it's not a VTOL plane, but you are indeed on the right track.
There happens to be a joke regarding this particular plane that I will go ahead and divulge, if you want to read it.
What's the best way to get a __________?
Buy a field and wait.
Just think - what plane's name most closely resembles the classification of both the X-Wing and the TIE?
Just a guess, going solely on the joke clue. F-18 Hornet Fighter.
ah, it's the lockheed F-104 isn't it?
And Aimus takes the prize! Explain it for the audience, would you please? And a big "THANK YOU" to all those who participated - I really do appreciate that you took the time to humor me.
