[Leica] An R series question R8 - pretty ?

[gregj.lorenzo at shaw.ca (GREG LORENZO)]

There is also an SR-71 residing (partially exposed) at the Pima County Air 
and Space Museum in Tucson. The SR-71 is truly an incredible one of a kinda 
airplane. I didn't have my R8 with me when I visited their last fall so I 
had to settle for my M2 and 21 CV.

Regards,

Greg
