Is the gold canopy deliberate, a la F-22?

It is, but only from the stand point of making the canopy opaque. Some prefer blue or black. I think gold gives it a little kick.

"A pleasant faced man steps up to greet you
He smiles and says he's pleased to meet you
Beneath his hat the strangeness lies
Take it off, he's got three eyes
Truth is false and logic lost
Now the fourth dimension is crossed..."

Here's the strangeness. Skis! I pinched these off of one of those little RC helos. :D




Look behind you!

Hah, brilliant!   ;D :bow:

And the thing is, you look at it from above, don't notice the skis, think "hmmm, nice Eagle...." and then your brain trips up as you look more closely... :wacko:
