GreyGhost Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 - like the Playboy pictures Lol Ding Ding ! I knew one of the guys that worked at McDonnell Douglas that did the airbrushing of photos of DC-10, DC-9, MD-11, MD-80, etc in the liveries of the prospective airlines so the would get a feel of what their colors would look like on the aircraft ... When he was finished, you couldn't tell the image was airbrushed ... In a way,I bet this will be another dying artform now ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Middleton Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The left stabilator is only one color. Fresh out of the box? good catch Trigger. Maybe the hobby shop ran out of their paint? <_< another shot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) good catch Trigger. Maybe the hobby shop ran out of their paint? <_< another shot You're probably right Ken, but then why didn't they use the same paint as they used on the airbrake? Are those AIM-9Xs under the wings? Very cool shots Ken. Edited February 19, 2008 by Trigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Nice pics Jake. Is there a story about that Eglin Eagle? I can't tell what is unusual about it it's flight angle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Djack Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Sure do like the Klamath Falls Eagle shots! Looks quite different with all that snow on the ground compared to last August when I was up there for Sentry Eagle. Brings back some good memories of that weekend!
