Looks like a dio...

It isn't much like a dio when you're standing there watching, it has stereo sound as well! LOUD stereo sound!!!

And it's an Aussie Bug, too!

Makes me wonder if they got lost, after all Alaska's a far cry from Oz

Nah! He was just cruising past & saw there was a party going on at the neighbours' place & dropped in to say "G'day!" & have a few drinks!

Wow...that's a great photo ! Thanks for sharing it. Love the way the bug blends in, and the weapons load ( looks like some funky SDB under the wing ) and the yellow tail markings....

It's a Paveway LGB training round.

How does the old saying go? "Was just passing and saw the lights on and thought we'd call in for a bit of a drink and a chat...."

Can't remember the designation just now, but it's exactly what it looks like - an inert (concrete ??) Laser Guided Training Round LGTR. Looks to me that Gerry Anderson might have had a hand in designing it

I like that LGTR acronym....Laser Guided Tank (w)Recker ? Remover ? Etc etc.....

It's by no means a new photo, it's one of a series taken by Dr. Stefan Petersen in the 1980's. I'm posting it simply because, to me it celebrates everything I love about military aviation photography, the subject, the composition, lighting etc, etc.

It's been my desktop wallpaper (on and off) for three years. Enjoy... I know I do !!

As soon as I sent the B-47 to Kiwi Zac, he flashed this straight back to me...

A RATO Avenger, who'd have thought it !!
