Or somebody slapped together something in a flight sim. (Those exhaust rings are way too regular to be anything other than CG, IMHO.)

EDIT after Bob's comment below: And the images were uploaded to www.digitalcombatsimulator.com

There was doubt it was CG? I thought it was pretty obvious.

I think the thing that gets me at the moment is that there was no actuall attempt at seriously reskinning the bird. Someone just cluelessly slapped a new graphic on with no concerns about how texture mapping and skinning are actually done.

(Emphasis added.)

Well, that "skin" is actually just a collage of dank memes. Of course there's nothing serious about it! Tongue

Regarding the response of Californians to 50F weather, Peg and I long ago noticed how easy it is to identify the Rutgers students from California come late September/early October -- they're the ones in huge down parkas. While the NJ-born students are still in T-shirts and shorts.

The year I moved to Florida, I was walking around the local downtown area and amazed to see everyone bundled up as if it were blizzard weather, while the cold left me vaguely annoyed I chose to wear shorts instead of jeans.

Infinity War.

[+]Spoiler
Hehehe.

And yet I still hate Bono more.

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.

One day they're going to ban them.
