Sweet shots, it took me ages to log into no-nodes to get this one   :o

I was wandering if there was a panel available with a working view finder (Top down view placed behind the main panel). I can remember someone talking about it a year or so ago but I don't think anything came out of it ???
Anyway I'm off to Cuba/China/Moscow/Vladivostock  ;D

Erm...didn't only the CIA operate U-2s? Or the USAF,too? Or were the U-2s actually CIA planes with USAF markings?

never seen a white dragon lady before...pretty cool!

what i don't like about the black paint, it's too shiny. the real black U-2's have a more blur paint... ;)

Hey Doc

actually CIA through USAF operated with U2's in completly silence, but after years of spying, the incidents and acidents with her they decided to "withdraw" the model, so NASA started to use for high altitude research, some of 'em are all modified in order to measure polution radiation and others at highest level of the atmosphere.

I sense that VC are quite dificult to build, dunno if this is true, but I think it is, maybe for this reason Mr. Ito never built his own VC's....maybe
