Kinda, its in my top 5 best aircraft...In Australia she did just about everything from delivering mail to outback ambulance... Her sister the Dragon Rapide (DH89)
I like her. Not cookie cutter. I can picture a mob on horseback clearing a runway, shooing the 'roos away.
Milky Way and Aurora over Antarctica Image Credit & Copyright: LI Hang Explanation: It was one of the better skies of this long night. In parts of Antarctica, not only is it winter, but the Sun can spend weeks below the horizon. At China's Zhongshan Station, people sometimes venture out into the cold to photograph a spectacular night sky. The featured image from one such outing was taken in mid-July of 2015, just before the end of this polar night. Pointing up, the wide angle lens captured not only the ground at the bottom, but at the top as well. In the foreground, a colleague is taking pictures. In the distance, a spherical satellite receiver and several windmills are visible. Numerous stars dot the night sky, including Sirius and Canopus. Far in the background, stretching overhead from horizon to horizon, is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. Even further in the distance, visible as extended smudges near the top, are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies near our huge Milky Way Galaxy.
Probably some Saudi oil magnate or sultans weapon would be my guess…I’ve seen other weapons painted up before…one that comes to mind was a BMW with about 6 M16s racked in the boot/trunk all different bright colours from canary yellow to bright pink…But…Who knows.
It's not a real tank, a huge model with a China pattern. I wasn't sure if it was a real tank painted up at first glance, then I noticed the running gear. A quick glance at them and you know it's not real. Then I thought maybe it's an artist making a statement but couldn't figure out what the statement being made could possibly be. So, I asked, why? Yes, I like fine China, but I suspect this is a cheap made in China knockoff.
That pattern reminds me of the china on display in Hong Kong. Some very pretty, some purely psychedelic.

They used to fly up and down the reservoirs near Mom's house. She claimed that they woke up the fish for her.
