Great images. The BG and lighting are very nice.

That is one goofy looking plane!

Goofy? GOOFY?! :shock:

The "Super Connie" is (still) the finest example of "Form Following Function" that man ever created in aviation.

You want "Goofy?" Go look at the Dreamlifter. Now that's Goofy!! ;)

Not a bad analogy Frank.

A little awkward on the ground but graceful as hell in flight.

Ditto same here, I think you did a great job of including the environment with the grace of a beaut of an A/C.

Well done.

I thought it was the DC-3 that is affectionately known as the Gooney Bird?
