This is very, very close to mine. No point in me wasting my own bandwidth to upload and host my own when this is so similar.

No - there's no way anything even close to full size will fit within the 150K picture limit of the arfcom photo server (which I use now instead of the university server to post pictures).

Plus - I already had that picture uploaded from the other day when I was showing my dive pictures.

I'm too lazy to upload just the background and I don't remember where I got it. But here's a screenshot I took a few weeks ago. Just pretend the icons aren't there. http://www.fullertonsu2.com/screenie.png

I know, the image is mirrored but didn't look right with the soldier underneath the icons.

I got mine off here. I'll gladly send it to whoever wants it. Just making it easier to see is all.

that is kick ass looking... any chance you could make a high-res version available that I may use as a desktop myself?

Someone posted this off of ARFCOM a while back. I thought it was funny so I 'borrowed' it.

I can post it here, I suppose. It's a big file, but I guess there are no folks using dialup on this thread anyway.

I'll put it up after I change a few settings on ExposureManager to allow "right-click and save".

Try "right-click and save as" on this image. Hopefully should work.

Here's another one I use when I want a change of seasons. Silver maple in our front yard; some years these trees (we have 2) are simply luminescent when the fall sun hits them right:

One last one, while I'm futzing around on Exposure Manager.

I put this one up when I'm feeling nostalgic for my lost youth

MAG-12 OA-4 and tail of VMAQ-2 EA-6B, taken by me from the B/N's seat of a VMA(AW)-224 A-6E over central Japan; summer 1989. The pilot, CAPT "Danno" Denneher, let me try to keep formation using the stick reaching over from the B/N's seat for about 10 minutes, while he worked the throttles. Ah, the good old days....
