I just noticed that as well. I guess someone at National was reading one of the posts on here or another place about how the door decal was wrong.

Indeed. Makes you wonder what else they're photoshopping out over there  ::)

It certainly is a sharp looking picture!

But it leaves me wondering: why would we want to publicize a photo of a CAP aircraft flying less than 2000 feet AGL above a National Park? Does CAP want visitors to the site to think that our pilots consider themselves exempt from the 2000 foot rule?

Maybe someone asked for a waiver for the photo op?

Everything!  (they should find a way to photoshop fat away, I would love that!)
What's up monkeys?

It's a guideline, not an FAR, so there would be no waiver needed. Just seems like a poor precedent to set.

Probably not. I left out the sarcasm smiley, but I know that's actually a pretty easy change. Might take me ten minutes, but Tedda might take half that time.

Looks wise - yes. Operationally - no. Makes preflights harder.

And they block some of the Observer / Scanner's view.

D'oh!  (_8(|)

Oops - I meant "photoshop" not "powerpoint". 

moot point - I saw the "new pic"  reply and somehow missed the previous photoshop replies.
