Sweet shots, it took me ages to log into no-nodes to get this one   Shocked

I was wandering if there was a panel available with a working view finder (Top down view placed behind the main panel). I can remember someone talking about it a year or so ago but I don't think anything came out of it ???
Anyway I'm off to Cuba/China/Moscow/Vladivostock  Grin

Nice
I heard somewhere that the U2 was actually a heavily redeveloped F-104. I could be totally wrong but it was a US pilot that told me at RIAT (he could have been humouring us limeys though eh? Grin )

Anyway lovely clean shots expecially the angle on no.2

Erm...didn't only the CIA operate U-2s? Or the USAF,too? Or were the U-2s actually CIA planes with USAF markings?

Hey Doc

actually CIA through USAF operated with U2's in completly silence, but after years of spying, the incidents and acidents with her they decided to "withdraw" the model, so NASA started to use for high altitude research, some of 'em are all modified in order to measure polution radiation and others at highest level of the atmosphere.

Lemon

I sense that VC are quite dificult to build, dunno if this is true, but I think it is, maybe for this reason Mr. Ito never built his own VC's....maybe
 

JUST ONE WORD: FREEWARE! The more free it is, the more shall I fly!&&
