I thought Qadhafi had recently turned over a new leaf, saw the error of his evil ways, and was on his way to becoming a friend again. Maybe he'll get his planes yet. I also wish they'd decide how to spell the guy's name. First it was with a K. Then a G. Now a Q. Sheesh... Okay, the shots. They're cool. I love airplanes, even military ones (which us pinkos aren't supposed to like, being representative of the whole military-industrial complex and all, plus they kill people - except the transports of course, but you get my drift). But airplanes do give me a rush. Were there any F 104 Starfighters there? That was the cooles looking plane ever. Too bad they killed all those pilots who flew them. Ended up with the unfortunate nickname "widow-maker". Still, they looked great. Say, who are the little people in your photos. You don't have kids, do you? Or do you? Cute kids, whoever they are. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
