This picture exemplifies the wonderful and detailed work done by the model developers and painters of all the HJG classic aircraft available here.

I regard it as "possibly" one of the best screenshots I've ever produced .... and I like the way Peter's reworked it for our Home Page too.

Here's the unedited image ....





.... and which itself is nothing more than a simple raw screen capture which hasn't been edited or manipulated in any way shape or form.

The other potential Home Page image candidates I considered using were the following ....









.... or either of the these also ....





























After much consideration I eventually decided it "HAD TO" be the DAL DC-8-11 .... having finally convinced myself that the water/methanol injected dense black exhaust smoke and soot was definitely far more "SPECTACULAR" .... or .... it might have been that particular period DAL DC-8 livery that ultimately swayed me .... or Jim's texturing .... or possibly even a combination of each of the last 3 influences.

There's usually a story behind each image .... at least that's the case in regard to the way I do things.

And this (above) is the story behind the recent new Home Page presentation.
