Can't decide where to post these so unless anyone objects:

The "Old Speckled Trout" (2nd a/c (after 12669, and again nick-named after a program monitor Ms Faye Trout who was apparently well freckled) routed to Ben Gurion IAP from ETAR yesterday and was just too beautiful not to get close up and personal with. Hope you like the results:

These are apparently some kind of threat warning receivers, just a part of the array of test equipment believed to be on board

Surely they never sully her georgeous flanks with anything so crass as a refeulling mission ...not bad for a 50 year old bird!
