Generally speaking the "days of old" are gone, hence this post reflecting on those moments, but given the right circumstances and a constructive "authed" beat up (ie. within SOP's and not over the Admino's house!), any aircraft can look good doing what would typically be considered a normal day at the office, except on this occassion not at some wind blown, water beaten, bitterly cold or hot mud flat in the middle F*$$$@NG nowhere, but at sunny old home base (preferably the O's Mess on a Friday arvo!).
Safety, Safety....smoke the joint!
