Mine's boring, it's one of the stock backgrounds from Linux Mint 9. For fun, I even set it as the background on my work Windows PC.

I once saw a screensaver that looked like what one might see if the CRT (remember those ?!) was removed and one was peering into the hole. Hand-made PCBs and a lot of wires.

It’s a Canadair CL-215 Mr Phlyer. Does fire putter- outer missions and nicknamed the Super Scooper.

My puter’s background C16 is of course a Spit Mk IX (what else!).

This Buffalo CL-215 doesn't land too well on tarmac when you forget the wheels.....

RiS;
I believe that it is actually a 415, turbine vs. real round motors.
I still like it and want one. I have the rating to go with it, Just need the type-rating.

Not only did they land gear-up; they weren't on the centerline!

The pic is from the Hellenic Air Force site located here It is a 415 indeed. By the way what to do yo mean you have the rating but not the type-rating. The CL-415 has a different rating from the -215. Slasher I have seen the plane from a short distance and they were few distractions around that day. The air base where they are shown on Air Force day offers plenty of distractions.

RiS:

I have single & multi-engine seaplane ratings. Because gross T/O Weight for -215 & -415 greater than 12,500 lbs. they requires a type-rating.
