Wow, good eye seeing it in the picture Ant Harrington. I was looking at that when I got the pictures developed and I think it’s a Navion. I don’t even remember it flying around that day but I’m pretty sure that’s the right shape.
Warhawk, I personally think I have a better smile but more people were taking pictures of the plane none the less. 🙂
I love them. I think those hugh winglets make the 737 look very sleek.
Here’s some pictures of it’s delivery flight.

It seems that the museum isn’t at the airport so it was flown in and has to be dismantled to get to the museum.
Is that a FG-1? I didn’t think it was.
I’m suprised they just didn’t fly each Concorde to it’s final destination. That would be a great send off.
From the previous point looking north up Manhattan. The Empire State Building is visible in the middle of the picture.
Hope you enjoyed them.
Basically the same picture taken the next day. We were lucky to get the same approach twice in one week to LaGuardia Airport. This one has a better view of Ground Zero albeit slightlyl blocked by the window edge.
The southern tip of Manhattan island in New York City. The financial district is right in the middle with Ground Zero in the lower left corner of the picture.
Finally a picture of me. That’s it, what did you think?

Free and clear of traffic made for a good picture.
They attempted to pull this F/A-18 out of the crowded static display area by pulling it by a tether attached to the tail hook. They exceeded the side limit on the hook breaking it. A bunch of Navy guys then pushed it out. I don’t think it left that night as planned. Oops.:rolleyes:
The girlfriend even enjoyed herself. 🙂
These 2 flew together. Pretty good show.
