You do realise that pic was not taken at Perth AP???

JJ should not have to concern himself with trivial details such as facts. This is the internet. Everybody is the winner.

Well obviously, it's not at Perth Airport
It's hosted on a US Military Website for starters.
jj was just using the pic as an example, in case others did not know what the a/c looks like.

JJ - well done.

Well why not just say that then, instead of writing;
"...parked on the apron atm." (atm = at the moment)
"landed just before 5pm..."
Both of which could imply that the photo was taken locally and recently. Nowhere did jj mention the complete source of the photo, nor did he acurately describe the aircraft.

Does it really matter?

It does because from his original post JJ implied that, despite the link being an American Military site, the photo was his. He no where mentioned or credited the photo in the link to any one else.
This is a blatant disregard of the rules of this forum.

You probably mean these rules.

Exactly. If this was Pre Primary that would be an 'F' (or NYC) for show and tell.
