They both forgot to deploy the hook! How are they supposed to catch the arresting gear trapeze if they haven't deployed the hook?  :-X

Go to google earth, zoom in to O'Hare Airport, outside Chicago, Illinois (ORD) and look at the photos around the maintenance hangers in the NW side of the airport. Nice pics of United Airlines in 1962.

I love the Connie, so this is an awesome photo.  THIS is what happened to aviation in 10 years.

NICE!  Reminds me of this photo...  This is what happened to BB design and naval warfare in about 20 years.  (I'm counting from original design dates)

Not exactly photos... but I just spotted scanned pages of
"Finnish Airforce identification manual for the Russian aircraft in spring 1942"

At a quick glance, the second page on MiG-1 is my favorite:

It's photoshop, but still a neat image.
