We just finished some cargo pods for the USAF and thought it would be fun to get a picture.No we do not fly with them.

We would never fly with them. The struts are in no way capable of taking that load in flight. We took precautions like removing the fuel from the wings before hanging the pods and not moving the plane with the pods in place.

Flying around with those may scare some people...

Great pic! (though I'm glad you added the explanation below - I was starting to wonder...). I can't wait to see your plane up close this summer.
