A very happy whale has been seen eating air crew and terrorizing the skies over Europe.

Nice to see someone has a sense of humor on the paint scheme.  Now, if they'd paint a whale tail on the horizontals...

Found this on Facebook. Scale? 1/72? 1/100?

From: Shea Oakley July 21 at 9:26 PM

Purchased this from a retired Eastern executive in Miami back in February. She is a Boeing factory model (fiberglass over brass) of the 2707-100 SST, the ill-fated answer to the Anglo-French Concorde. Made circa 1966 the model is five feet long and the variable-sweep "swing-wings" actually open and close. She also includes movable flaps and spoilers and is, without question, the new flagship of my "fleet"!

If the 2707 was supposed to be 305 feet long, the model works out to the ever popular scale of 1/61
