Liked the 3 engine 747 :)
The Draken is an interesting a/c - I saw the one at Duxford, here
in the UK, and was surprised at how close to the ground the wing
trailing edge was. When looked at from the back I rather
thought it looked like a huge moth.
I don't know how much more work I'll do with the National Test Pilot
School (pending the results of the current small project) :-) but if
things go well, there may be some modeling work that needs to get done
at some point. Any interest in that sort of thing, or do you keep busy
enough with your day job and hobbies?
The Draken is a really impressive bird, especially considering the era
in which it was designed. The US is pretty cocky about stuff invented
over here, but the Draken had some really impressive specs for it's day.
To be honest, I stared and squinted at the real scene for the longest
time trying to figure out if my eyes were playing tricks on me or what.
It wasn't until I got to see the full digital picture that I figured out
the 747 hump was behind the DC-10/MD-11. :-)
