Igor
Kolokolov came across this 'naked' HU-16 at the 2012
Oshkosh Show in the USA and shot this superb walk-round
to share with us all. What's very significant about this
particular WR is that, with the airframe completely
devoid of any paint, one can see all the rivets, joins,
panels lines; indeed, all of the airframe surface is
completely exposed, something that a painted aircraft
doesn't show in such detail making this series of images
quite unique!
My
grateful thanks - as ever - goes to Igor, for being in
the 'right-place at the right-time' again, as usual..! |
