Bonnaroo is over, with only a few of the visiting aircraft left at the
local airport. I got a couple of detail shots that I had intended to
get earlier.
To an Aeronautical Engineer, the business end of a modern turboprop is a
thing of beauty. Maybe not the same for everyone. Here is the
propulsion system of a Beech King Air 350.

The 1941 Piper J-5A that was modified for banner towing had amenities
never dreamed of when it was built. Not a beauty, but a real working
machine. Here is the current instrument panel, complete with every
placard that the FAA could dream of. And, yes, the engine is a Lycoming
O-360. I checked the data plate.

Both with the X-E1 and Fujinon 27mm Pancake.
Comments and critiques welcomed.
