This trivia is invalid, since this plane was posted countless times.


If i have to risk, I have no choice but to say that it is a Yakovlev Yak-141 fancy and expensive modified

Because there's no gold leaf visible.
For the price they charge for an F-35, I definitely expect it to be covered with gold leaf, most probably all over.

Pfft, gold leaf is for peasants! We would never cover one of our planes with such a pedestrian material. Not the visible parts, anyway. 

[P51vsFw190]

Will someone just answer the GODDAMNED QUEST ALREADY!

[sniperton]

Patience is a virtue. Don't haste. Enjoy every single second while it stays unresolved.

Patience is a virtue

We sense youthful impatience 

[DHumphrey]

Well damn !!!  It is an F-35 … LOL 



Maybe James will relax a bit now. 

[P51vsFw190]

Thank you DH for resolving that.

You’re up!

Here you can see the last prototype of the F-35 LOTR in lockheed Martin's top secret base



Clearly you can see the thin layer of gold, forged by sauron in the mountain of destiny, which gives the power of invisibility like a bilbo baggins.

[DHumphrey]

ROFLMAO !!!! … way to funny. 

[DHumphrey]

Sticking with manufacturing. 



Good Luck

This obviously gets you the post of the day award


Back to the quest. This is much more my cup of tea, modern arts.
We're watching men working in an air force's workshop in Malmslätt, near Linköping (Sweden), called "Centrala Flygverkstaden i Malmslätt" (CVM) in that time in 1929, which started as "Flygkompaniets Verkstäder i Malmslätt" (FVM) in 1918, later to be acquired by Saab.
Here in 1929, the men are completing wings for "S 6" reconnaisance aircraft, which were license built Fokker C.V-E:


There has also been a license production of the sister plane Fokker C.V-D which was used as a fighter with the designation "J 3", later renamed to "S 6A".
The C.V-D differed from the C.V-E by it's wingspan (12.5m for the C.V-D vs. 15.3m for the C.V-E) and, logically, the armament.

In total Sweden operated 30 S 6 recon planes, 6 of which were bought from Fokker and 24 licensed production aircraft.
Of the S 6A fighter, only one was produced in Sweden and another eight were imported from Fokker.
Later another 10 "S 6B" were produced in Sweden, these were C.V-E type recon planes re-engined with the stronger Bristol Mercury VI engine of 600hp, license built by NOHAB (Nydqvist & Holm AB) in Trollhättan (Sweden), to replace the Bristol Jupiter VI engines of 450hp which originally powered the C.V-E.
