BarbaraKobzik 0 #1 April 7, 2008 Hi there, I work in a company that has lots of very shiny photos of airplanes - all new and in excellent shape - at the wall. Now I am looking for some pictures for my new office. I would like to stay with airplanes, but I want to make it "more realistic", at least from a jumper's point of view. So, who has photos for me of really crappy airplanes? Dashboards with 80% of the instruments marked "inop" or just missing, something like that? Or anything else that would make an impression between all these super equipped cockpits we have in the hallway? Maybe you could post or send me a small version and I would come back to you later with my email address to send me the full version? Please only photos with a decent size / resolution to be able to make good size pictures out of them. I look forward to my new office wall decoration! Thanks a lot, Barbara--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's nice to be important, but it's much more important to be nice.

ltdiver 3 #2 April 7, 2008 Interesting idea. What, when a whuffo asks the inevitable question of 'perfectly good airplanes', are you going to reach up and point to these pictures? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarbaraKobzik 0 #3 April 7, 2008 They are (almost) all Whuffos here, it's not a dropzone, it's a company making fancy avionics. I really would love to have some "real" airplane pictures in my room. So PLEASE IF YOU HAVE PICTURES FOR ME .... please let me know.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's nice to be important, but it's much more important to be nice.

NWFlyer 2 #4 April 7, 2008 Not my photo, but it's my current computer wallpaper. This shot definitely makes an impression. The photographer's contact info is on the linked site - perhaps you can get a print-quality version from him.

BarbaraKobzik 0 #5 April 7, 2008 Looks great. I also remember a picture out of a skyvan ramp with several planes lined up behind, must have been during some record, I believe to remember. Unfortunately I can't find that picture anymore, does anybody have a copy of that?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's nice to be important, but it's much more important to be nice.

jsaxton 0 #6 April 8, 2008 Looked pretty good from the trail AC too! This picture was taken october 2007 on the first day of the POPS WR series. And no, Bill Von hadn't been called up from the Alpha bench yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 5 #7 April 8, 2008 Lots of people (including me) made their first jump out of this airplane or one just like it. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
