  • Just because....

    I felt like uploading a photo. It has been so long I have forgotten how to process these. This is from 2010 and I think that is an L-39 in the corner. Anyway, I liked it and I better be careful or I might have to do another.

    Great shot! Some of those early British jets were really gorgeous.

      Thanks Kevin. For some reason I always liked the de Havilland "boom jets", especially the Sea Vixen.

      Oh look what I have gone and done now. Another picture...

              Great pics.

              Is it just me, or do the wings on the Bear resemble those candy corn things that you used to get at Halloween?

                Especially the horizontal stab and elevator.

                    It's still better than some other things that have been painted on it over the years....

                      Easy Bill... don't want to go overloading your computer or anything.
                      Great pics... though I'm still waiting for the dirty pass.

                        Now THAT is funny!
                        But I think the candy corn thingys were yellow on the wider end, then orange and then white on the pointy end?

                          You're right on that, but I think that combination was tried and found to create inverse drag so the colors were reversed to cancel it out.

                            That is highly logical Captain.
