Wow, wouldn't that be awsome if the cockpit area was painted like a cobra's

Perhaps simpler, a set of shark teeth?


=D I see the front end of the 787 and think 'DH Comet'...

Is that Boeing's chase plane, or a Rent-a-Plane?


That is Boeing's T-33 (actually a Canadair Silver Star), one of two
operated by the Boeing Test folks. They also have a T-38. Looks like
they've updated the T-33 paint scheme since I last saw it, used to be
a straight red stripe; now has the Boeing swoop thing going on.
Perhaps their paint shop should knock a martini or two off the lunch
break. =}

Seriously, nice work, Bob.. Thanks!
