ahhhh.. the airpark in Arizona.. where planes go to die or be reincarnated. I'd love to go there one day..
Kodak have a 'tips n tricks' part of their website. They host stories, that have some impressive pics. One of their stories is this one about that airpark: Sleeping Giants (http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/features/sleepingGiants/) and it does benefit to have broadband with this, but dialup just has to wait a wee while. It's worth a watch if you're into this stuff..

The writing on the ground shows up really well. I wonder how much it cost Google to get that done?

Anybody remember this? My Dad was head of the wind testing tunnel programme for it. Over Mach 1 at 500 ft. Just a few few bugs to iron out when it was scrapped. Political pressure from Uncle Sam
