Very cool. Here's one of my favorites. To give you an idea of how close this guy is to the forestry folks, look at how clear the oil stains are on the engine nacelles that have migrated back onto the horizontal stabs amongst all the other stains on the a/c. The pilots have some stones to fly missions like this. "Q"

Yes, there are. People who don't know jack (at the local bar) tried to tell people the picture I posted was shopped. I told the bartender to ask the guy what the wing span on an F18 was. He said "what?" and I said "I win."

/Is as cool almost as the first one

These pictures have just opened a whole new world of dioramas for me. I can see how to recreate the extinguisher and the apartments. My dad was military and then, he went to work for the FAA. I know he can give me good advice on the reality of the dios. Man, this stuff is amazing!! Let me know if you have any other interesting pics. Thanks!!
