The hour's approaching to give it your best,
and you've got to reach your prime
That's when you need to put yourself to the test,
and show us a passage of time

We're gonna need a montage! MONTAGE!
Ooh, it takes a montage! MONTAGE!

Show a lot of things happening at once,
remind everyone of what's going on!
And with every shot show a little improvement,
to show it all would take too long!

That's called a montage! MONTAGE!
Ooh, we want a montage! MONTAGE!

In anything that we want to go,
from just a beginner to a pro
We need a montage! MONTAGE!
Even Rocky had a montage! MONTAGE!

MONTAGE!

MONTAGE!

Anything that we want to go,
from just a beginner to a pro
We need a montage! MONTAGE!
Ooh, it takes a montage! MONTAGE!

Always fade out in a montage
If you fade out it seems like more time has a passed in a montage
Montage

"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

"Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals."

Irishmen singing about whaling, that's kind of ironic. That's like quakers singing about drinking.

9:37 and 10:08 by my reckoning.

Yes, that's about what it looks like from AH's 202.

What a lovely plane that was.

You are a very good shot!

Are you flying with the 7.62s, or just the 12.7s?

What are your convergence settings?

I very rarely take the 7.62s. Convergance is set at 650. Not that good of a shot, I can only hit what I want at very close range. But thanks.

Appreciate the advice.  I fly the 2x12.7 setting just for fun, the .30s didn't seem to make much of a difference.  I'm a worse shot than you, so I'll stick with 200 convergence.

Great thread for people who appreciate an artistic paint job.
