Thank you, Stagger.  The photo in my memory looks a lot like the video at the 13 second mark.
Had never seen this video.

Glad to be of help  :)


On rare occasion, Staggerwing has been known to be helpful.  >:D

That was one of my programs until I changed jobs in March.  I was supposed to go to the design review mentioned in the article, but that was the week I started my new job.

I'll just say this: take what Boxall says and divide by 5.  His "burning boats" comment is silly, but it's what gets PEOs promoted (and ships like the Zumwalt built).

I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.

Nice pic!

I recognize those prop planes in the second and third row as AEW-style Fairey Gannets but what is the very first one? It looks a bit different. Some kind of slimmer variant?
