Off topic because shot with Fuji F70.
Yesterday, on the way to Spirit Mountain Casino, we passsed by the
Evergreen Aviation Museum at McMinnville, OR. I managed to catch a
couple of shots on the fly, from the window of the car. The first one
is at:

When I looked at it on the computer, I was kind of wondering just what
kind it is. When I went on line, I somehowdug up P2V from somewhere in
that vast amount of useless information that seems to reside in the
nether regions of that thing I call a brain. LOL That seemed pretty
well to match, but there were discripancies. Then when I finally got to
the P2V5, there it was. Even had the fire fighting slurry bomber
image. P2V5 Neptune with the jet engines mounted outboard of the
Recips. Looks like Evergreen has retired it from it's slurry bombing
duties and it is slated for display. The next picture is of the Boing
747 display on top of a new building that is still under construction,
it seems. I was prepared to shoot the 747, but the P2V was just by
chance. I really need to make a trip down there just to go through the
museum. They even have the Howard Hughes folly called the Spruce Goose.
