Purdy' little thing!:)
The only thing that could make this picture any more badass is if we knew her missiles were covered in bacon grease.
(And I swear, the word verification was 'critic.' Is that a sign or a remonstration?)
Brock... Yep. :)
Brigid... I have no doubt that you'd give her a run for her money. Think of all you would have missed if you would have been born 10 years later.. :)
Notice that she's from the Iowa Air National Guard out of Sioux City. Makes me proud! :)
I flew a Piper Trauma-Hawk in there a couple of times... Nice airport.
Wraith... I love the bacon grease idea. In my mind it is so. They are covered in bacon grease!
I also get a kick out of "word verification" sometimes. It's amazing what it comes up with.
Interesting! 85-482 is the plane I built a model of and the one I made a skin for in Falcon 4.0.
Talking about old ... the year I was born, the best planes going (that I remember) were the B17G, the Spitfire, the P51 Mustang, and the P38 Lightning. If I recall, the Stuka and Zero were pretty fearsome stuff too.
McThag... Gotta be the Iowa connection. :)
Bob... Sweet old planes, all. If I could fly any plane it would be the F4 Phantom. Second choice would be the A6 Intruder. Call me crazy. :)
Nice!
Yep, the airplane AND the pilot :)
Two things led me to that plane.
First, I am an Expatriate from Ames.
Second my long time girlfriend (now just friend) is blind. Her nickname is "The Bat".
Sioux City have been the bats for decades. Their A-7D's had a teeny little bat in the color flash on the top of the tail. The F-16C artwork just took the meme a teeny bit further.
I remember the A7s coming to Waterloo for static displays as well as fly-bys when we had an air show. Good stuff.
"The Bat" That's good. Glad she's still your friend.
