Saw some photos on a coverage thread of the bird, and it sure does look amazing with the tanks and rockets on there! Can't wait to see some in flight photos with all the dangly things on it!

Found the photos here in this thread, scroll thru all 4 pages to see some lovely shots! All credit given to the specific photographers, and it also appears that you have to be a member there to view the larger photos of the ones taken. However, they're worth looking at!

Well guys and gals 062 is in Topeka Kansas. I want to thank some generous Wixers out there that were kind enough to pass the hat around at Oshkosh and really helped us out! You guys are the best! I also want to apologize for not attending the BBQ and beer tent. I was really looking forward to have one or ten beers with you all. We were forced to do a photo shoot with the Texas Flying Legends Zero and Conrad's Wildcat and got in late. Horrible work but someone had to do it! Probably one of the coolest things I've seen in a very long time! Thanks again and I hope she lived up to everyone's expectations. :drink3:

I think everyone's managed to forgive y'all for going AWOL (seeing as your excuses all matched :wink: ).

All were patting full tummies from the picnic when the photoship, Zero, and Wildcat broke out of echelon for downwind right over our heads.
