Aircraft distractions, puzzles, grey-matter teasers

Try this word search.

Find the names of the U.S. fighter aircraft in the diagram per the puzzle's instructions.

For those Forum viewers looking for more of a challenge, try the Sudoko.  (I'm leaving the sudoko until I'm really bored and I become smarter. I might not get to it today...)

Re: Thanks for this. I found "Phantom". Was easy. Got anything more challenging?   

@Richard_RC_Guy, There is more than the one word 'Phantom' in the diagram.  If you look closely and use the list of words under the diagram, I am sure you will find more.  There is even a hidden word that isn't in the list. Follow the clue and see if you can find it too? 

Unfortunately I don't have anything more challenging at the moment.  Maybe you or someone else has something and will post it here for our entertainment and to exercise the grey-matter. 

Thanks for playing.

Can you guess these 11 aircraft.  I couldn't. As a matter of fact, I didn't even get 50%.

Was that your unassisted score or with Scout's help??

Here is a radio control airplane quiz.  Give it a try.  It is a bit dated but it works if you are looking for a distraction.

I got 9 out of 10.  Although I would dispute this one...
   
Your Answer: 3

The correct answer was 2

Typically the channels are arranged as follows:
1 - Aileron
2 - Elevator
3 - Throttle
4 - Rudder

Just sayin'

Same for me?! Dammit futaba users!

Ah well 

Before Spread-Spectrum maybe yes.  No, not so much!

@Athol , @sihinch - That's why quizzes are often referred to as 'teasers'. 

Not to brag, but I got 10 of of 10 when I first took the latest quiz.  Considering both of you agree that one of the questions/answers may have been flawed, does that mean I only got 9 out of 10?  Maybe I was was just lucky with some of my guesses. 

Everything is not black and white.

Everyone, please feel free to post your own quiz, puzzles, teasers to share with our friends.
