You are the King..... of the WSR turnaround anyways...

[KeithnFW]

Thanks Captain. . . . actually I am getting kinda bored shooting the same F-16's or F-18's. . . my interest in the WSR turnaround is starting to wane a bit. . . . they don't offer much in the way of color. . . .I wish the U.S. Navy and Air Force would paint their birds like they do in Europe or Japan. . . . battleship gray is rather bland.

So what's WSR?

[CaptainTom]

WSR? It is an ultra secret location that you can get to only by managing to circumvent the usual and even the unusual amount of security surrounding a military base and aircraft manufacturing complex such as is located in and around Carswell NAS/JRB.....If I divulge this super secret location you must take a blood oath that you will not divulge this information to any known or even unknown takers of illicit photos or even licit photos of super secret or even everyday military or civilian aircraft.
Given that the above conditions are met, only then can the true meaning of WSR be understood.

Tom, thanks. And just to put your mind at ease I promise under penalty of having all my photo gear turned into a 110 pocket instamatic that I shall never reveal the secret location even if cruel and unusual methods of torture are used against me *.

* - Cruel and unusual torture include but are not limited to the comfy chair, the dish rack, bamboo shoots (not placed under fingernails, but having to take pictures of bamboo), and of course donut deprivation

Could'nt have said it better myself Captain. . . If this info fell into the wrong hands. . . .whoa, I don't even want to think about it! In fact, from now on all my posts in this forum will be in code.
