/r/Whatisthisplane
The one and only subreddit dedicated to quick and accurate aircraft identification (helicopters, and spacecraft 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.

What is this helicopter?
Sorry for bad picture, my phone zoom sucks. I believe it is an Apache, I have no idea why one would be up where I am (Edmonds, WA USA). Nothing showed up on flightradar when I checked.

Is anyone able to identify what type of C-130 this cockpit came from? Was used as a training cockpit for the C/KC-130T, now on display at the Pax River Air Museum.

Long shot, but need help identifying a plane from a few months ago
So the plane in question isn't the Italian Airforce's plane that they used for the display, but one I saw the next day. It was a smaller fighter with a canard wing design, and from the angle I observed it from it almost looked like an f-22 or f-35. It was pretty quiet and stuck out to me since it definitely didn't look american. This was back in August on the Hudson River, if anyone was around at that time and remembers seeing it please let me know. I found a video of the Frecce Tricolori taking off from the base in NJ but didn't see the fighter taking off with them or in the background. Link is for the time frame the plane was seen.

Website to help identify military aircraft from satellite view ?
Hi,
I'd like to identify some military aircrafts from google map, however it's kinda hard because I am not a specialist. I'd like to know if there was a website or database similar to https://warsearcher.com/shipsearcher/ but for aircrafts (warsearcher is for ships), where I have examples of what are common aircrafts for each countries, with some image examples ?
Thank you
