Damn, that's creepy!  :icon_surprised: That B-52 looks downright spooky. More monster than aircraft!

Of course it's a good idea !!!!!  --- air-interception trainer for the airforce !  USAF will probably copy the idea ?

On the other hand I can see several of the guys here paying premium prices for a ticket for that seat if regular airlines offered that facility on any standard flight :icon_fsm:

I snapped this one yesterday at the open day of one of the regional airports in these parts.



My camera is pretty hit and miss with flying shots. I was pleased enough that this one came out as clear as it did, but the atmospheric effect of the lighting was also a pleasant surpirse.
