| i suck at computers.getting my ass handed to me trying to get pics hosted. if, big if here, if i get this pic to post, is there anyone that can bail me out and size it to use as my avatar? i'd appreciate it and i'll sweat the step of actually making it my avatar when i get to it.

Let me test my photographic memory. Is that a Valkyrie?- Yes. Original uncropped: [img]http://photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/IG_LoadImage.asp?iImageUnq=10620[/img] Cropped to eliminate some sky: [img]http://photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/IG_LoadImage.asp?iImageUnq=10621[/img] |

Quoted: You may want to find a pic from a different angle (i.e., from the top), so that you can tell it's an XB-70 and not a Concorde or something when it's that small (I'd know, but most won't). -Troy Ya how about this one: [img]http://www2.interceptor.com/~thumper/xb2/xb70to.jpg[/img] |
| lovely aircraft,isn't she? too bad they only built two and one got bumped out of the sky by the chase plane. i really appreciate the help and am open to trying whichever looks the best. if i had a clue ,just for s&g i would put up a two option poll with a choice between the two. i do think that other shot would frame up better. |

well,that's kind of cool to meet people that got to be in on things like that. very small trade to say the least. that guy would of had to fire me for not wanting to work so that i could talk to him about his days building that. i've decided to go with my first choice. i like it, and those that aren't into aviation wouldn't know from adam what it is no matter which one i used. makes me wonder which six-pack i like best, 6 carbs on a 426, 6 cold 12oz frosties, or that beautiful 6-pack of turbojets. no contest, jets win every time. |
| little late in the reply, i only get on at work. no i haven't seen it ....yet.this christmas that just went by saw me score 2nd row seating at the dayton airshow, plane tickets, car rental, hotel only 2 miles from the airport. man, i'm beyond psyched for this. seeing as the air force museum is right there, i'll definately be checking it out. i come from modest means and this will be the first airshow of this calibur for me.any airshow that flies the t-birds/blue angels/and snowbirds on the same day is just plain big. |
