Hey, I try 😀

This is obviously a night-time picture. The super-intense light being used to simulate daytime operating conditions (a new safety feature) is so powerful, it casts a shadow of the aircraft’s nose wheel on the cloud in the background!

Doff cap to Sean! 😎

Not least it should be mentioned that the bizjet in question would be highly impressive to have to come with time-displacement capable engines!. Check out the aircraft in the background of the photo – I believe the last A-6’s deployed to sea in 1996!.

I suspect this was one of those “levels” that SOC was talking about though!:D

Great shot anyway Simmer. I particlularly like the attention to detail shown by Raytheon in painting in the arrestor hook – as if that would make the whole thing more credible!!! :D:D

Its a press release from Raytheon. Bit early for April 1st though I think. 😀 😀 😀

That is just wrong on so many levels 😀 ANYway, a politically astute individual at these forums would be quick to point out that the aircraft is landing on a US carrier, and it has a US civil registration number. No Premiers in the US.
