That is just one WEIRD ASS plane.  :P Kinda neat though, the pilots have to crawl through the little space to get to the cockpit. ;D

Ahh the X-70. Truely weird, but you can see from where a lot of modern aircraft got bits of themselves.....
Dan how are you reducing your picture size? Just you seem to be loosing quite a bit of resolution.

That plane reminds me though of a praying mantis for some reason
My life is like the movie Office Space

Go get Irfanview.  I know how you probably feel about getting another program for this type of thing, but it is well worth it.  I used PSP for so long to resize my shots, and now I get much better resolution and I don't have to go through as many motions to do it.

As a youngster, this was one of my fav A/C and I never thought I would be able to see one in person......with patience, I lived the dream and actually visited Wright-Patterson and even touched the bird....so although it will never fly again, we do still have one example in full-size 3D, to go and see ...........If you ever get the chance to go and see it, TAKE IT !
