Photographer’s remark

G-VRUM There is a story here. Even as I was snapping this shot, security personnel were running towards me even though I was on public property. They represented San Antonio Aerospace, a company that does maintenance and refurbishing. These guys demanded that I delete the pictures. I acted like I was and they were satisfied. In reality, I had saved most of my shots. This aircraft has bounced around a lot, and has recently been at the Mojave Desert. I don't know its future, but at least it has one.
