There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Did take a peak, the pilot figured at model specific so no default avatar "node", so sadly can not be modified. Fear Dave has to do this.

*NEW* - 21628 of No. 1 Fighter Wing, Canadian Forces Base Lahr, West Germany, circa 1969.
Aircraft carries the road runner character on the tail flash in keeping with the "flightless birds" motif that Canadian T-33s used in NATO Europe for a while.
Now... I have yet to find any pics of the left side of this aircraft during this period in RCAF T-33 history, so I've made a couple of assumptions based on other aircraft pictures from the same era. Namely, I've included the No. 1 Fighter Wing heraldic crest on the left side of the nose because I know T-33s based at Baden-Soellingen had their 4 Fighter Wing crest painted on. See my 4 Wing Instrument Flight livery as an example:
Also, the hawk-eyed among us may notice that the nationality markings on the road runner airplane look a little... off, this is intentional as the RL aircraft appeared to carry hybrid roundels, probably created by painting over the original leaf from the RCAF-style markings and replacing it with the leaf from the (then) new national flag. This was a short-lived practice in the mid-to-late 1960s until the new, official roundels were introduced, and resulted in some weird looking markings where the blue ring was too narrow or the leaf was too small, or both!
This one was fun to make. Coming soon.
