Random Aircraft Quiz Bot WIP

My work mandated IE6 has disqualified me from this by refusing to understand HTML. So while I won’t guess the name, I will authoritatively state whatever it might be, it’s uggo af.

Didn’t I post the XPS-1 in an earlier “guess the airplane” thread?

Yeah, ‘random’ is a generous misnomer for the bot really - it only takes the first page or so from wikipedia (so is limited to early on in the alphabet) and even then it only uses ones with pictures. Dupes galore!

Haha that XPS-1 is hilarious! Looks like something out of a children’s book.

For a PG rated film, they flew a lot of crap under the radar.

Fun fact: Spaceballs was rated PG when it came out.

Wow… a random light sport aircraft, thats a hard one.
