Off topic because shot with Fuji F70.
Yesterday, on the way to Spirit Mountain Casino, we passsed by the 
Evergreen Aviation Museum at McMinnville, OR.  I managed to catch a 
couple of shots on the fly, from the window of the car.  The first one 
is at:

When I looked at it on the computer, I was kind of wondering just what 
kind it is.  When I went on line, I somehowdug up P2V from somewhere in 
that vast amount of useless information that seems to reside in the 
nether regions of that thing I call a brain.  LOL  That seemed pretty 
well to match, but there were discripancies.  Then when I finally got to 
the P2V5, there it was.  Even had the fire fighting slurry bomber 
image.  P2V5 Neptune with the jet engines mounted outboard of the 
Recips.  Looks like Evergreen has retired it from it's slurry bombing 
duties and it is slated for display.  The next picture is of the Boing 
747 display on top of a new building that is still under construction, 
it seems.  I was prepared to shoot the 747, but the P2V was just by 
chance.  I really need to make a trip down there just to go through the 
museum.  They even have the Howard Hughes folly called the Spruce Goose.
