What's the point in such camo schemes... by

C-5 longevity by
Eric Moore
With the appropriate upgrades, the C-5 can last for another
25 years or so. See:
http://aviationnow.com/avnow/news/channel_aerospacedaily_story.jsp?id=news/glxy07164.xml
Is it worthwhile to upgrade the C-5's, or should we just build more
C-17's?

Krztalizer
Got a couple nifty photos in today - both sourced from a 456 RAAF Beaufighter
crewman. One is of great interest to me as it shows four members of the unit -
a 2-man flight crew, an erk, and a jovial sort that is making a show of wearing
a wireless set connecting him to the flightcrew. These people...
