Weird... I didn't think the RED guys were even going to NAB. :tongue:

[Pol Turrents]

maybe we will need a "CSI: Red" board xD

[Gavin Greenwalt]

If Jim needs to stop by Seattle to pick up something he forgot up here... make sure to drop me a line. : )

[Harmonica]

Weird... I didn't think the RED guys were even going to NAB. :tongue:

Who said anything about NAB? Come on, we all know the whole Red thing is a product of Jim's dilusions. The poor guy is probably headed for the slot machines.:wink:

[Jannard]

Sorry... that is the old plane. But good try.

[Evin Grant]

Ahhh, a decoy!

[Greg Voevodsky]

The old plane?
Did your wife take the old plane to Vegas?
What's the new plane look like?

[wshultz]

What kind of a trade in do you get for an "old" plane?

[Alex Boothby]

set of steak knives.

Ahhh, a decoy!

in this very special case i would rather call it ECM, even if possible japanese flak is quite inprobable :)

Hmmmm....

In military aviation ECM is an acronym for Electronic Counter Measures

In the electronics industry I assume ECM would be Espionage Counter Measures

:ninja:

[Don Woods]

Very interesting... Old Plane what we need the new plane pic... But yes it begins tomorrow.... We for some of us..

Who else is better qualified, or redder, to handle this case!

Saw a walking RED logo and her kid at the airport today... almost yelled something and thought the better of it.

Obviously the N2T is the newer plane. Here it is when it was in Wellington 2 weeks ago.

Sorry I can't be in Vegas to photograph it there.

ECM could also stand for
Enhanced Camera Manufacturer

I caught a ride and flew right seat (since my plane is down for maintenance) landing in Vegas Today at 2000 Zulu in a Golden Eagle 421 and saw no Oakley jet on the tarmack. In fact N701WH from the first photo is in Japan - check the link:

The jet allegedly photographed in New Zealand N2T has been removed from the public domain tracking system per the "owner's request."

Very Stealth like if I do say so myself Jim.


PS - For you aviation enthusiasts here's my flight log:

Man, Vegas is boring... particularly when you're a $25 cab ride from the strip.

[Steve Gibby]

Brook,

As someone who used to live in Vegas, let me give you my take on that:

The highest-stakes gambling in Vegas is a taxi ride! Seriously dude, most drivers in Vegas are reckless, but the taxi drivers are over the top. Ever been on Mr Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland? A Vegas taxi ride makes that seem like a nap in a hammock! Save the $25 and live to see NAB...

Keep your eyes on a swivel when you walk across streets too! Thousands of pedestrians get road-pizzad each year by wild-ass motorists in Vegas - many of them taxi drivers. If you do take the taxi: :help: :bye2:

[Brook Willard]

I know, I know... I've been here before. Got taken for a $30 ride on a 4 mile journey last year... I'll find that guy someday... :laugh:

When do you get in?

Tomorrow morning me and my wife are driving over - about 7 hours drive from the Central Coast. We used to live on the west side of the valley, in Summerlin, right below Red Rock Canyon (Hmmm..another Red connection). Being valley-wise, we're staying at a resort in Summerlin - away from The Strip. But we'll be down there each day to hang out with the RED Army - day and night!

Hey Jim, I saw the plane too last night and again this morning, parked along the road at the executive terminal. I'll snap a picture of it tomorrow morning before the Apple presentation if it's still there.

I saw what looked like a RED sticker toward the front of the plane (which, by the way, is a truly gorgeous machine.)

Of course the jet is here guys, you didn't think the Riddler would be driving to NAB with a 10 ton truck loaded with Red cameras 1-1500 did you?

[Greg M]

the jet is sitting right off las vegas blvd
i just arrived at airport and drove right past it...its right across from famous welcome to lv sign

the street in the foreground is lv blvd (the strip)

[Ken Corben]

You stealth ninja reduser guys should have been looking for N2T in Cupertino after today's announcement by Apple. REDCODE was in a FCP 6 pull down menu...WOW!
