@ 747-237 the predator looks awesome !!!
The Hueys look good...
The last pic also is quite nice thanks a ton for sharing |
That's actually the MQ-9 Reaper. It's the larger version of the MQ-1 Predator. You can tell the difference by the tail ...... the Reaper has an inverted tail as opposed to the Predator's similiar but staright-up V-tail. |

Actually you got that backwards, the Predator has the inverted V-Tail, and the Reaper has the more traditional one.

Super shots Nitin and Vivek.
* Nitin - I agree, this is a pic to be proud of, the image is razor sharp
* Vivek - IMHO, the new livery doesn't look good at all on the 744s, I'd take the classic colors any day |

I totally agree!! Ojas and I were just talking about this earlier in the day. The old colours are simply outstanding.
Hope AI leaves atleast one of their 744s in the old livery till the end.... _________________ Boeing makes planes. Airbus makes videogames! |
