Damn! I missed it Jonesey! (I assume you meant the pic

)

I'd love to see it fly over here though.

Yes I do. Allthough Ive seen it up close at Duxford. Was about 20 feet away when they started up the engines! What a sound!

In fact I was under the wing!

Ive got some pics somewhere...

I wont forget that smell in a hurry either

Ah, the memories! I was flightcrew on US Navy C-121J aircraft
in '66-'67 flying missions out of Saigon and DaNang. The one and
only downside of flying on those birds was the nightly wipedown
of the flaps and cowlings when we returned from a mission. Those
R-3350 loved to put out the oil!
