This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Maturity is knowing that I've been an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now

WOW you guys are pretty good. I thought it would take longer.

It is Officially a Ep106 that was donated to the USAF museum by the Swedish airforce and done up as a P-35.

As to the focus.... Well it is really dark in there and I had a time trying to hold the camera still during the long exposure time.

As to what you win? My eternal admiration
