F-8 over mountain ciao Fabio Looks a lot like Shastina, the large satellite cone on n California's Mt. Shasta... Downside is, if that's true, the Crusader is about to hit the main mountain. It's also carrying tailcodes for the other coast. |

(You can see Black Butte in the background) You can tell this was taken with a high power telephoto lens due to the space compression between Shastina and Black Butte. This compression also applies to the Crusader and Shasta as he flies past on the east side. |

And an unrelated Crusader from the same unit to keep the topic within spitting distance. And speaking of distantly related, The Museum of Flight is also restoring the very first XF8U-1 Crusader. By my reckoning, my brain has now wandered to someplace near Dave's house in Oz. Would you be so kind as to slap on a stamp and drop it in the nearest postbox? Thanks! Bob ^,,^ |
