Well, that'll get Eric all worked up

It would get me worked up too if I could only see the *^#@ pics

Actually, that pic is Brent Hisey's airplane. Cool picture, but my god, that radar dome is f'in ugly!

[astixjr]

F'in ugly but think of all the fuel you could put in there! How about a cocktail lounge or maybe a crew recreation area down there? Small workshop? You could turn it into a one bedroom apartment for Dave? How about a backup oil supply tank or spare hydraulic fluid reservoir?

I'm wondering, was this a radar or a MAD system? What did the detector look like with the dome off?

This is the "Tea Party" Skyraider.

[Warbird Kid]

More looks like a pregnant skyraider!

The clip Brad posted with the "pouring tea upside down." That is the same Skyraider. At the Olympic Flight Museum, it is known as "the tea party video."
