    MR,

    Please keep your images to 550 px or under. That's the limit I used when I set up the blog.

    Some browsers will run the image off the main column and into the sidebar crowding it to the bottom or off the screen.

    I re-sized your images.

    :^)

    those are really old planes...

    unfortunately it's replacement doesnt fly any better than that one did.. Boeing got ripped off, they had a much better plane in the JSF competition.

    the JFS will probably be the last manned fighter.

    this one is already fly'n better than the JFS..
