Awesome shot Greg

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I thought it was just the way it loaded on my system, but I see that in this, and Chuck's shots, the fuselage looks like a Navy MK82. Huh

Me no likee.

Today's mystery: Why would I relate the finish on the AT to a Navy bomb? Tongue

It kinda looks Rhino-lined to me......that spray in pick-up bed liner Huh

Different, to say the least

Or that anti-skid stick-on paper you get from the Home Depot Huh

Yeah the author prefaces the readme with a small novela as regards the incompleteness of the project. But thanks for looking...or...I was actually taking a shot of the moon and the plane got in the way? Grin

Happy flying y'all Cool

Maybe it's just me, but I would expect a less than perfect paint/finish on this type of aircraft. Especially after it has some hours on it.

Nice shot Greg.

Have to remember that taking a picture of the moon excuse. Grin

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

The Navy has a thermal coating on munitions so they'll withstand fire, hopefully long enough to prevent cook-offs.

And it looks exactly like Rhino lining.

So Ima thinkin' that as low and slow as the AT is, that's a thermal "blanket" so the pilot doesn't get baked buns on the job. Cheesy
