Jim ... I should have mentioned that the image appeared in glorious and very
realistic colours on my screen and was perfectly exposed as well.
Unlike single prop Cessna two seater "run around" aircraft seen at almost
every landing strip in north America are previous-generation retired
military jet aircraft subject to incomparably greater degrees of control and
administration by "government" or is it just a case of a certified pilot
with deep pockets who is freely able to exercise his / her desire for high
speed a la the deep pockets who enjoy putting a Bugatti Veyron into the red
zone at > 300mph ?
