Outstanding "heavy metal"...

Thanx, Paul A. That's a pretty decent
deck angle for the "low speed" shots in
pictures 2 & 4. I used to love watching
these things slow as I followed
them into Kennedy, the pitch angle for
level flight slowly ever-increasing as
the "cap" came down and the nose
"lowered".

By the time they were on five mile final,
the following aircraft had a great shot of
the top of the aircraft at it's normal descent rate of about
750fpm/140knots+-. 

Absolutely gorgeous machine! :)
