Soooo.... back on topic... what's the story behind the navy-like hi-viz paint job? Not what you'd expect to see on an F-111, is it?

Hi John

Bit late to the party... those intakes are to feed more air to the engine on the ground when there simply isn't enough getting rammed into the nose intake.

And recent photos show a lot more sand on the beach.

Might even be from the Air & Space Museum, up on the hill, if there is line of sight. Can almost re-create the shot in GE from there.

A long lens, making the runway appear much shorter, looking along 27. If Google Earth is anything to go by, there is a ~5 storey building with a carpark on the roof. That's the building in the shot, obscuring the runway short of the displaced threshold. There's a rooftop on the other side of the freeway that looks like it's about the right spot. But I'm only guessing...
