How odd - only the other day I was thinking about a Vietnam Strikemaster...

I've seen that one at Oceana, both as a static display and in flight.  The pilot flies accompanied by Basil Poledouris' score from Conan the Barbarian.  Here is is at NAS Oceana in 2007:

Gorgeous looking ship.  One could almost think it's a genuine SVNAF warbird.  I'm sure many of the public would.

Thanks for sharing.

^ Revell's going to re-release their 1/144 C-17 in that scheme this year. If you don't want to wait, one of the airliner decals outfits has decals for this available already. Don't know which one, though, as airliner stuff is far from being my forte.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

The Qataris also bought the C-17s officially for "disaster relief" (I suspect primarily in the Muslim world).

Of course, we won't mention Edinburgh airbase just north of Adelaide, in South Australia...   :thumbsup:
