It still doesn't justify the fat bloated apearance of the modern bird. Its been a long time since i was able to look at a new "competition bird" and say wow what is that. The just don't have that eye catchind apeal of the planes I remember seeing as a kid on the flight line. Dirty Birdi, Curare, Tipo, UFO (my alltime fav), Even through the 80's La1, Sl1, Atlanta. Those were just coll looking sleek sexy machines. But just like me the older I get the better they were. LOLOLOL
