Since it is "Floaty" time:
Looks like a new life for retired aircraft carriers. While cruising between ports with golf courses you can golf aboard ship to stay on top of your game.
Cruises tailored for golf addicts.
Do you have a aircraft carrier kit in your stash ?

Fin that golf carrier reminds me of its direct opposite; the desert carrier!

not exactly a cool picture, but of a very nice aircraft none the less

took this one this afternoon (with the backup compact camera, in foggy conditions).

the Qatar C-17A in civilian livery visited the local airport of Ostend today, will be departing again tomorrow.
i just love that color scheme on a C-17, looks like what-if, but its not

I didn't see an artist's signature. However, the style looks familiar, is that by Stan Mott?

Cliffy B · « **Reply #205 on:** April 11, 2013, 02:06:30 AM »

No idea dude. I remembered the drawing and just Googled "desert aircraft carrier" and it was the first hit under images.

I did a reverse Google image search and it is Stan Mott... then I wasted about 10 minutes looking at all the funny pictures.

I thought so. He's an immensely talented artist and a deft sense of humor.

Perhaps they will return this Fall in time for Christmas featuring jets.
Renderings of some BTS kitbashes would be cool.

Not a photo but one of those 360 degree things you can pan and zoom.

Taken from the pilots seat of a Fokker D.XXI, sitting in a museum.
Click and drag to move, mouse wheel for a bit of zoom.

Stumbled upon a couple of aircraft designs that are not designed for blowing up stuff.

Leduc RL-21 : 1960, designed for speed on a Snecma-Regnier 136 hp engine
Magni Vale : 1930s, tourer or aerobatic trainer
