Bruce - I've been twisting my neck, trying to see the livery on that guy. Something about it, and your use of the word 'nugget', is reminding me of an old Alaska Airlines livery I used to see every day back in the sixties.

Correct this F6F-5 was owned by Alaska Airlines until it had a non-fatal crash in 1977 which grounded the airframe.

I like the haze effects in the first one. It's also cool that you can see the details in the engine. The second screenshot is also really cool. The angle is perfect and the reflections are great.

In the sixties, we lived in McGrath, AK; a stop on Alaska Airlines daily ANC-OME flight with their big 1649 Connie - painted in a livery similar to your Hellcat. Our FAA housing was only three hundred feet from the runway centerline so, if you were trying to sleep after a mid shift, you could forget it 'til that guy had arrived and departed - never heard such squeaky brakes not to mention the mag checks on those big round engines

They had a Convair 880 in that livery, prior to the 727's - stewardesses wore gay nineties dresses, big feathers in their hair and served some kind of deadly mix from samovars.
