Coast Guard Helicopters

The helicopters in this new puzzle are Eurocopter HH-65 Dolphins. These type of twin-engine, single main rotor, MEDEVAC-capable search and rescue (SAR) helicopters are operated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). There are now a total of 102 Dolphins in the Coast Guard Fleet. The Dolphin's main jobs are: search and rescue, enforcement of laws and treaties, marine environmental protection.

T-45A Goshawk

The T-45 Goshawk (a version of the British Aerospace Hawk Mk.60) was developed as a jet flight trainer for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. The T-45 has been used for intermediate and advanced portions of the Navy/Marine Corps Student Naval Aviator pilot training program. It replaced the T-2C Buckeye intermediate jet trainer and the TA-4J Skyhawk II. The original T-45A, featured in this puzzle, became operational in 1991. Pick your difficulty level, click start and let's go for a training flight in the impresive T-45 Goshawk featured in this fun and challeging game. Have fun!

Pushing a T-45C

In this puzzle you can see sailors pushing a T-45C training aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier. The T-45 Goshawk is a fully carrier-capable version of the British Aerospace Hawk Mk.60.It was developed as a jet flight trainer for the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC).

Biplane Propeller

If you didn't already know, a biplane is a fixed-wing aircraft with two main wings stacked one above the other. The first powered, controlled aeroplane to fly, the Wright Flyer, was a biplane. Biplanes offer several advantages over conventional cantilever monoplane designs: they permit lighter wing structures, low wing loading and smaller span for a given wing area. The yellow biplane feature in today's new puzzle is powered by an engine using a wooden propeller. Propellers are made from wood, metal or composites and are used to convert rotary motion from an engine or other power source, into a swirling slipstream which pushes the propeller forwards or backwards.

Nieuport Fighter

This kind of plane was used in World War I. It was built by Nieuport, later Nieuport-Delage, was a French aeroplane company that primarily built racing aircraft before World War I and fighter aircraft during World War I. The aircraft featured in this puzzle is a replica of the Nieuport 11, nicknamed the Bebe. The Nieuport 11 reached the French front in January 1916, and 90 were in service within the month. During the course of the Battle of Verdun in February 1916, the Nieuport 11 re-established French air superiority, forcing a radical change in German tactics.

Space Shuttle Discovery

Complete this challenging jigsaw and see the space shuttle Discovery secured to a crawler transporter, slowly moving away from the launch pad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In 1984, Discovery became the third operational orbiter following Columbia and Challenger, and made its final touchdown at Kennedy Space Center on March 9, 2011 at 10:57:17 CST, having spent a cumulative total of one full year (365 days) in space. Discovery has performed both research and International Space Station (ISS) assembly missions. Discovery also flew the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit.

FA-18 Hornet

Another great aircraft themed jigsaw is here. This puzzle features the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole fighter jet, designed to dogfight and attack ground targets (F/A for Fighter/Attack). Designed by McDonnell Douglas and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

MV-22 Osprey

This new puzzle features a MV-22 Osprey taking off. The Bell Boeing MV-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, military, tiltrotor aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing, and short takeoff and landing capability. It combines the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.

Air Force One over Mt. Rushmore

This online puzzle features the Air Force One flying over Mt. Rushmore. Air Force One is the official air traffic control call sign of a United States Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States. The "Air Force One" call sign was created after a 1953 incident during which a flight carrying President Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the same airspace as a commercial airline flight using the same call sign. Several aircraft have been used as Air Force One since the creation of the presidential fleet, including two Boeing 707s introduced in the 1960s and 1970s, respectively; since 1990, the presidential fleet has consisted of two Boeing VC-25As – specifically configured, highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft.

E-2C Hawkeye Grumman

Solve this jigsaw and see the two E-2C Hawkeye Grummans flying by Mount Fuji, Japan. The Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, aircraft carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft. This twin-turboprop aircraft was designed and developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s by the Grumman Aircraft Company for the United States Navy as a replacement for the earlier E-1 Tracer, which was rapidly becoming obsolete. E-2 performance has been upgraded with the E-2B, and E-2C versions, where most of the changes were made to the radar and radio communications due to advances in electronic integrated circuits and other electronics.
