"... Mike, is that your cat?"
Yes, thank you. Rocket von Panzer. He is featured from time to time in my photo thread 'Realism More Than Patriotism'.

Excellent, from the small image he looks much like my Ziegfeldt, a gray/black tiger that has claimed me for the last five years as his human.

One might even say "hull down".

Thought this was pretty cool, not your regular shot of a plane on the ramp or on the assembly line.

Caption - "Production. P-51 "Mustang" fighter planes. Wooden wheels are attached to a P-51 "Mustang" fighter plane, so it may be moved around the ramp at the Inglewood, California plant of North American Aviation, Incorportated. When it is ready for flight tests, regular landing wheels with rubber tires will be substituted. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 "Billy Mitchell" bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 "Mustang" fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe."

We all know when it came to allied tanks they left a lot to be desired. But this modified Churchill gun carrier was probably one of the very worst and was allowed to disappear into obscurity with a litany of design and mechanical faults that made the GC5 a deathtrap. Source: Tankipedia

Cool shot, although I might just be giving you likes now based on Rocket's avatar...

P.S. My daughter thinks he's cute.
