Whenever someone at NFL mentions "The Bumblebee," everyone instantly knows which NAWDC fighter is being referred to. This is one of my favorite camou schemes; however, my #1 fave is NAWDC's all-black Tiger (761580).

Nice!

Fantastic shot here, Gary, as are all of your recent posts. I see you have been hiking up the mountain again for some of your recent shots! Well done and thanks for sharing them all.

Hi, Greg and Dave. Thanks to you both. And Dave ... yep. Went up four times in the past ten days. The most recent was early this morning (VERY early ... 4:45 AM) to get snaps of the total lunar eclipse. It was absolutely pitch dark hiking up because even tho it was a full moon, it was the total eclipse so the moon was blood red instead of bright white. When I finally got up there, I positioned to possibly get a couple clicks of the first departures from RNO going past the eclipsed moon. Just got home a couple hours ago and haven't d-loaded any of this morning's pics so I don't know yet if I got anything worth keeping. If I did, I'll e/m to you.

Sweet Gman...any clue on the nickname? Also, why is P5100N1 upside down and rightside up on the left wing? or anybody in the "know" know...?
