Love the older images from the AMARG....

Thanks, Anna!  On the same topic, I have noticed I have relatively few AMARG images considering how many times I have been over there.  However, shooting through an orange-brown tinted bus window tends to ruin a lot of images!  Maybe that is part of why I have relatively few images...  So, I am glad to have a pre-PASM image of the Harrier.

Question:

What is black, green, and white all over?

Answer:
Just a quick update on the Il-2 after I did a little clean-up on some of the anti-ballistic armor plate.

The EC-121 is rolling along and now it is time for markings.

Here is how the gun sight for the Il-2 looks now.  It was so rusty that we decided to at least inhibit the corrosion with black paint.
