Whats that on the 'radar' screen?????

Funny to think just how old this aircraft actually is....i did a huge pencil drawing for my art exam of a in-cockpit view from an intruder as it came in to land on a carrier......my Art teacher was quite baffled but i thought it was great! Took me ages doing all the gauges and stuff!! And that was years ago.....

Nice shots btw ;)

I have no idea what is on the radar.  ;D

Do you still have the drawing? I'd love to see it. :)

That's Moffett Federal, KNUQ, near the south end of San Francisco Bay, northwest of San Jose.

Sadly not, its probably still pinned to the art class wall!!! However it was from a photo so if i come across the photo.....

My art teacher certainly didnt understand my fascination with aircraft, we had to do four or five different things for the exam, one was the intruder, i did a water colour of a spitfire which i thought was rather good considering i cant really paint, a three stage drawing of what happened to that PSA 727 over San Diego in the 1970's when it collided with a cessna or somthing similar (morbid i know but at the time it intrigued me very much) and somthing else of a trislander taking off from somewhere.........yes im mad! ;D

Artists do weird things on occasion.  ;D

It's a tactical attitude display (I think it was called that).  Sort of like an early synthetic vision display except instead of using actual optics I think it displayed the terrain like an old school atari game probably from radar ;D. Made it easier to fly nap of the earth.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
