Thank you RR - it took some finding.

I can now see that the "missiles" are not 'Winders.

Go running around ridges and find this one:

Practavia Pilot Sprite
Nicely done skytrain.

Owned until recently by a friend of mine.

An Open House has been requested.

RR,

Since you do not have Photoshop (yet), may I assume it's actually in a nose-over attitude on the ground?

Something for the weekend, sir?

Are you confident it will stay up for that long?

Not confident at all!

Actually I have PS Elements (a 2002 version) but the full suite wil be excellent!!! I'm looking forward to that!

Yes, it (the challenge) is nose down having had a mishap in the snow.

Happy hunting!

RR

Oh, there are no AIM-9 rails! Sorry!

Not a yank!
