The perfect way to make your product stand out of the crowd. A well pictured Boeing 747 on a poster.



Always liked the black anti glare panels on the 747. Air Canada also had them.

Although it is said that Serbian Air Force would overhaul some MiG-21s, some sources claim that easily this could be the last Fishbed flight in Serbia. At the moment, only two MiG-21UM fighter-trainer left flight capable...   :icon_crap:

I've seen a number of those wind turbine blades passing through here to west Texas; impressive works, they are.

I've seen similar pictures of a hangar full of biz-jets.  That's got to be a mess to clean up.

Better a clean up than a smouldering pile debris where you used to have a hanger full of expensive aircraft.
