I work in the corporate aviaiton world to support my warbird habit and I always see those glossy, pretty marketing photo's and wondered what aircraft the photographer was in. Well I found the answer at least in this case. Very cool!

This is what they were shooting pictures of, a Dassault Falcon 7X. The first fully FBW biz jet - not a bad plane either....for not being a warbird.

Sounds like a "Special interest" video to me!!!!! :D :wink:

I seem to remember that the Bronco was ment to be able to carry some troops inside. If thats true it looks a bit snug in there.

Neat stuff! I have also seen a B-25 with the tail cone off to be a photoship. The background for the jet shot was really awesome!

The tail turret comes off of B-25 Pacific Prowler also, they do photo missions with it also from time to time, carry over from her days at Tallmantz I'm sure.
