As the title suggests the last couple of weeks at NWI have been a mixture of ‘nothing too spectacular’ down to ‘oh well its nice to see one of those again’ 😀
I have been doing a lot of close cropping with these …. What do you think ??
Keith 🙂

You and I missed a good photo op last week, a girl in the casino had tattoo’d on her back in three inch letters, N3695P which happens to be a PA-18 that was also illustrated. (I couldn’t see all of it! ;))

T5. Yes as Newforest tells us that is a Burket, which I believe owes a lot to Rutan design, but is actualy a kit form aircraft available in a few different versions ??
The photo above has a goldish apperance, the aircraft is in fact silver overall, this time I caught it landing into a setting sun !
cloud 9. You are correct Blue Line went out of business some time ago ! since then two of their former F100’s have been stored here at NWI, F-GNLG and F-GNLH, the photo above is from yesterday, when, for some reason, it was towed out of storage and parked in front of KLM maintenance hangars ???? I took the opportunity to get a photo with the sun in a good position ??? So maybe a new owner in the offing … who knows ????
Thank you all for your continued interest and kind words.
Keith.

G-REDX is a Waters GV Berkut, presumably a highly modified, by the owner, Rutan design.

A great collection of shots there Keith, thanks for sharing.:)
Am I right in thinking that Blue Line went out of business last year?
If so, who owns this particular aircraft now and how comes its still in Blue Line livery?!:confused:

Nice shots, but what on earth is that in the second to last image? :confused:
