/r/Whatisthisplane
The one and only subreddit dedicated to quick and accurate aircraft identification (helicopters, rockets and spaceships welcome)! Please read the rules.
Please only post planes! It does not matter if it is in a game, the plane does not exist, or whatever. Oh and btw, we also allow rockets and spaceships for some diversity.
Rules
Must be about planes. All posts must be about aircraft, this is obviously explained by the name of this sub.
Don't be rude. This is a clean and friendly sub where there will be no fighting, name calling, or accusations allowed.
Do not answer posts with “It’s a plane.” The goal of this sub is to help others successfully identify aircraft. Responding with “plane” is not helpful, and will result in your comment being removed.
Refrain from involving politics. Many aircraft are used in war. Nevertheless, please keep any political discussions to a minimum; historical facts are, of course, allowed.
Mark your post solved. When you are satisfied with an answer please reply to that comment with "Solved!" (without the quotes). This will mark the post solved.
Post has to be an identifying post. Please only use this subreddit as an identifying subreddit. If you want more info about anything, we will refer you to subreddits like r/airplanes , r/aviation , r/flying and others.

Not sure if this is allowed since these are pins rather than actual planes.
These were made by the royal airforce association charity in the uk and I’m not sure what planes they are can anyone help. I’m guessing they will have been planes used by the uk at some point

Can anyone tell what this is? It was very far in the distance, the photo was taken with a 36MP Nikon D810 and supertelephoto 600mm lens. All I could see by eye was the exhaust trail. It looks to be a military jet(?) with a dark grey nose and a white orb on the bottom? Aberdeen, Scotland, UK

Made quite a few low passes in the past 3 days including at night paired with some unusually high altitude Mirages, so probably a military exercise of some sort.

Bizarre rear prop
We thought this plane looked strange, then the pilot got out, manually retracted the front landing gear, and then set it gently on the ground by hand

Odd shaped low flying plane. What is it? It’s flying in the direction of the arrow which odd why it’s odd. Flew above my house the other day.
