Those early aircraft had a wire or cord strung along the trailing edge of the ribs in the wing structure. The covering material would tighten and shrink as the dope protective coat dried and cured. This shrinking is what caused the scolloped trailing edge. As for the leading edge of the Orion...

I believe he was referring to this old Revell B-2 kit. I had the same thought.

So the sun would be low in the sky. Photographed while flying overhead seems reasonable to me.

What was the time of day? If it was early morning, or late afternoon when the sun would be lower in the sky than the aircraft to the viewer on the ground, you could get lighting like that. I've seen the bellies of many an airliner lit in flight.

I found Jar Jar less irritating than I found Anakin in The Phantom Menace. I liked nothing about Anakin and I ended up borrowing from the Simpsons when I talked about TPM. Anakin wasn't a hero, he just pulled a Homer.

There was a moment in The Name Of The Rose that sticks with me to this day. The fire has started in the library and he is trying to grab books and scrolls to save. Then came the moment when realized that he can't save them all and he shrugs. For me, that moment breathed so much life into that...

I knew Walt Jefferies through the American Society of Aviation Artists and something he said a few times at the Artist's Forums is related to your comment. He'd say "We had a great budget for Star Trek because we operated off of Mission Impossible's budget. At the end of every shooting day, we...

I know of a variation on this idea from some time back. Rose Church, who had been an Aerospace Nurse with McDonnell Aircraft and worked with all the Mercury and Gemini astronauts while they trained there was a good friend of the Greater St Louis Air & Space Museum. About three months before she...

Clavius was the base where we saw the Aries IV land. The site with the Monolith was designated TMA-1 for Tyco Magnetic Abnormality - 1. Remember these in that scene in the Moonbus? But, maybe that works better. With water nearby, that location (Clavius) becomes a considered location to build a base.

True. But I hardly laugh at anything in this thread. Seeing the things posted here and how others react tells me what the other members of this forum are like. As for what I'm like. Aviation is a secondary interest for me. Art has become the driving force in my life and I have a strong interest...

This thread was never very entertaining for me.

Nothing great here, just a peek at how other fandoms reacted to the call to storm Area 51. I've seen memes like these for various fandoms.

As I heard it from some Douglas and McDonnell Douglas artists, the artists would paint the airline liveries over prints of the original painting then prints were made from that 'new' image. It was an accepted practice.

While this book does not go back that far, are you aware of this new book - Star Trek The Motion Picture: Inside the Art & Visual Effects by Jeff Bond & Gene Kozicki? https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Motion-Picture-Kozicki/dp/1789091993 Has good selections of the Ralph McQuarrie art for Planet...

This company is worth keeping an eye on if you have any interest in science fiction movies and TV shows. A few years back they ran an auction consisting exclusively of props, costumes, set pieces and set components from the Ender's Game movie. Their current upcoming auction is of a collection of...

Okay, I have checked and these are the issues of Astronautics & Aeronautics that WE DO NOT HAVE at the Greater St Louis Air & Space Museum. (This list is much shorter and therefore easier to post.) 1963 - 2,3,10,12 1965 - 4,5 1968 - 7,8 1978 - 12 1979 - 12 1980 - 3,12 1982 - 12 1983 - 1,12 We...

The Greater St Louis Air & Space Museum has a pretty good run of Aeronautics & Astronautics from 1963 to 1983. I'm not calling it a complete run here yet because I've not checked to see if we have every issue for each year. I've checked and we do have the issue you asked about, Archibald. I've...

Great pictures. This probably shouldn't be in this thread, but I've got to say this. While I was studying these pictures, I got this feeling I had seen this basic shape in a NASA image. After thinking for a bit, it hit me. This old Robert McCall painting. And, what's not to love about the idea...
