Yep, looks like Paul to me. Grin

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

General consensus seems correct here......add my vote for the amazing Fozz......BTW, has he been around lately ?Last post by him was more than 10 days ago.....has the approach of winter been keeping him inside and not out throwing snowballs with the rest of us ?

I wouldn't know who it is. Could be either one of them. One thing is for sure; it's not me.

Fozzer was forced to retire by the management, Ken. To put it mildly.

I think he suffered a little too much from negative G-forces...

That old fella was actually a janitor, not a pilot, from Tyndall AFB back in the 60's.

Right you are Navy...

Seen a lot of variations of this picture with many different captions like:
"Sleep well as your airforce is awake"... Grin

We used to have a similar picture with RCAF painted on the top of the flying helmet at one of the bugsmasher fields but have not seen it in a few years.

Doug - good that you used side lighting for that mirror shot. A flash would have ruined it
