Big Ol' Taurus
I've been poking around old Centuri Enerjet catalogs, etc., and came across this interesting picture from _Enerjet News #3,_ in the upper left-hand corner:
http://www.dars.org/jimz/enerjet/ejn03d.jpg Oddly enough, it reminded me of Bill Eichelberger and Buzz Nau's Tauruses... I mean, "Taurii," as well as Bill's Taurus upscale (which isn't reviewed on EMRR): http://www.rocketreviews.com/review...cen_taurus.html http://www.rocketreviews.com/review...sem_taurus.html Bill, this Enerjet News was released in September 1972... along about your 10th birthday. Apparently, great minds think alike, eh? Cheers, --Jay |

Not yet. The review is written, just waiting for repairs, decals, and photos. NARAM was tough on it. I saw this a few months ago when we were still at the other house. Quote:
It took this "great mind" about 32 years to catch up. Seems about right.

Then vs. Now

But his "main" Taurus fins are simple triangles, instead of the original fin shape... so *maybe* (even though it's rather unlikely) we're a little bit "more sophisticated" (translation: "fussier") than he was? Hard to say... Cheers, --Jay |

I don't think so. Look again. I think it's just the camera angle and the fact that it's a b & w picture. Those are the regular fins.

I just noticed that the fins on my upscale (what's left of them,) are solid black. Oops.
