Good stuff Paul, and I agree with Bill. I used to be in the graphics business, and what Bill describes is what was known as 're-spotting' - in my case, extremely small dots on large film negatives, with maybe a 200 dpi screen half tone picture. It certainly works.

Thanks guys!
I found a picture of #149146 upon return to the U.S. after the '67 cruise. I realize that the wing arrangement, (raised, dropped flaps and tips folded) is not right. I have not found any picts of F-8's with all these at once, but I am showing off all the features, so...
