Let Jay & Gary ponder over this.

Are those partial natural metal engine cowlings and tail pipes on that one ?

There'll be a reason for that .... though I don't know what it could possibly be.

They wouldn't just forget about'em.

I've often seen DC9's parked and shutdown with their reverser buckets left wide open.

Whatever that reason for the DC9's .... I guess something similar must also apply to the C135/B707 under some conditions/circumstances.

I've seen reversers left open before too:

...and the caption for this one reads: "Parked with reversers deployed to prevent wind from spinning turbines."

OOOOOH; she's mine, all mine. Give me some time to do a little research on this bird. I'll probably start editing textures sometime this weekend. ;D

Happy Landings,

...and the caption for this one reads: "Parked with reversers deployed to prevent wind from spinning turbines."

All depends on how many tins of Baked Beans the crew have had,

[number33]

is this repaint in progress?

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

Please understand that once the guys select what subjects they wish to paint .... we let them attend to these things at their own desired pace.

Thanks for your keen interest though

It is appreciated .... of course

I'm sure Jay will post something when he's sufficiently satisfied to show it publicly.

"number 33", sorry it's taking so long but I've been hung up working on the TC-18 revisions (making accurate models, not just 707 repaints) and an NC/NKC-135 JT3D package but don't worry, she's still on my to do list.
