Well the News people have done it again. As we know, thay do not know any sort of aircraft types, and usually get the pictures wrong and they do not match the story. Well on MSN home page today a story about FOG in Wellington they put up this great old picture.
Snowman will love it.

It is a great shot. Captures NAC well. Looks like taken from an old print with all the scratchs etc on it.

Great image, and the story reminds me of the time our local paper tried to cover the new "combat aircraft" that one of the bases in my state was getting, and included a photo of a Cessna 172. laugh.gif
