Great shot, and it looks like he will catch the 3 wire.

That is a lot of planes to deliver worldwide. Also very colorful. Airplanes do make a great canvas for artwork, be it a typical livery for the airlines, or something one off.

Dwight, this might answer your question about the N and you are correct as to what it means, but there is more.

I have always loved the Frontier wild life liveries.

I was gonna say that looked like an updated version of Looking Glass, but saw the NAVY on the rear fuselage. Great shot.

Nice. I wonder how noisy it was in flight?

That camouflage pattern looks it would be quite effective.

There is just something sexy about Sky Pigs, no matter what the paint job. Great pic.

I saw them quite often at Okinawa, from both sides of the fence. One could sit in the cafateria of the PAX terminal on the second floor and look right into their hanger. They would fly over Futenma at night and you knew it was the Habu by the rotating beacon and 2 blue-white cones of flames coming out the back end of those engines. Sadly, I didn't have a long enough lens to get good pictures of them coming in for a landing at Kadena from Futenma.

I wonder if that was there back in 70-71. I don't recall seeing it there, but I do remember the Saturn V and the B-36 Peacemaker.

Thanks for sharing.
