Back when I had a 72 VW bus I read an online book from a guy for whom the Bus was more or less a religion. He claimed that the (measured) coefficient of drag of the Bus was actually quite low. Don't recall the actual value but whatever it was, it surprised me. So that shape may not look very aerodynamic but it may be better than it appears.

Mesa. Not sure where. West USA somewhere?
Cool looking Mesa's northwest of Truth or Consequences NM and Spaceport America from 34,000ft.

Looks pretty good for having crashed on landing.

Please post photos!I will see what it looks like from the ground in a few weeks
I am thinking someone with awesome modelling skills, a lot of time on their hands and a few friends. Could even be a really old photo from way back when, with a fabricated Pteradactyl. They had jokers back then too.
Polish, yes, but that is a Sukhoi Su-17...

and the higher you go / the higher your vantage point the more of a circle you will see.#5295
Beautiful rainbows! You can see the secondary, rather faint, outside the primary. Fun fact: a second rainbow always has the colors reversed, because optics.
I didn't know that there are 3rd and 4th order rainbows but they're very difficult to see because they're close to the sun, rather than opposite it.
Used to live in eastern KY. Cumberland Falls in Corbin was just half an hour away. We occasionally went on a good clear night with full moon; a moonbow was visible at the falls.
Not sure when they took them off or if they were removed before we got 74V, but we don’t seem to keep the wheel skirts on any of our aircraft at work. There’s a lot of grass strips up here and I don’t know if they’re worth the headache.
I believe the first rainbow is due to the light entering the water droplets and bouncing twice before exiting. That gives a particular angle of refraction and creates to main rainbow. The second rainbow is the result of four bounces inside the water drops and gives a different angle.#5295
