As requested here are some shots of Bob Odegaard's beautiful F2G Super Corsair. Sorry about the color artefacts, for some reason the JPEG format is particularly harsh on red.

This first batch was taken at South St. Paul Flemming Field in 2001

These were taken at Flying Cloud in Eden Prarie, MN in 2002

Cool shots!

What's up with those artefacts?

:lol:

Thanks Ollie.

Time for a short tech explanation. JPEG is what is known as a "lossy" compression algorithm, what this means is data is thrown away to reduce file size while still attempting to maintain image quality. Due to the way JPEG works, you often get banding and splotches in large solid colored areas, especially at higher compression settings(like for web images). For whatever reason(I'm not a graphics guy), any JPEG compression artefacts are much more likely in any areas that are a shade of red.

Hi,

My previous links don't work but this one seems to.

Here is the link to my pictures of #57 when she was at two of the past Cleveland Air Shows several years ago.

Spang,

I don't know why the links to my aol photoalbums don't work anymore. I don't get anywhere thru aol help either. I also tried photobucket but it bombs out my computer. I will e-mail you some stuff.
