I'll feel left out if I don't post some of my own shots of Kirk's F 1 ;D Well, it's good enough to deserve countless threads, it looks good from every angle!

This is going to be in big on the home page of simv soon, watch my word!  ;)
Very nice shots by the way, especially that last one.  :) Ive always found the F-1 to look like a bird, perhaps a falcon. Gracious, then the swept back wing and the tilt due to the high nose gear... hmmm...

This is simply stunning  :o
This plane has always been one of my favorites. The shape of the main gear is probably was makes us think about a bird.

Yeah, as you can see in the third shot, it's the main gear that looks like a birds feet.

Very nice shots by the way! :D

Thanks all :) You know, the point about the bird like gear is an interesting one. If you were to think of that last one in that way, then it would almost look as if it was getting ready to grasp something!

WOW Tweek! Shots 3 & 4 are stunning!  :o

They look just a photo taken from the runway threshold!
