Out in Dayton, OH today at the US Air Force Museum and took a pic of this fellow. Now, I haven't done anything to this yet, but I know it needs color balanced. It's way too "warm."

A little history with this guy though. Well, actually more than just military history, also a bit of personal history. First, this plane back in 1967 was the first aircraft to ever direct another aircraft (fighter) to intercept an enemy aircraft. The personal bit is that my father when serving his first tour in Vietnam flew this puppy. Now he probably flew it around 1969/1970. However, it's pretty cool to look at this fellow say "yup, I know someone who flew that."
