Grayscale desktop

I like grayscale desktops because they don't mess up my color perception for working on photographs. Continuing with the military aircraft theme, I'm using this Flying Wing desktop. I got it here and cleaned it up a bit:

The other day I stumbled on a link that has some incredible old black and white photos.

For example, who could resist this as a desktop?

I have a real liking for B&W or Greyscale pics.

and those are fantastic.

The Flying Wing! Wow, I forget what X number that was, but it was a really nifty design. Not really realized until the B2, a whole three decades later. Apparently landing the thing was a real problem, get the nose up to high and you'd get a nasty stall that only ended when you hit the ground...

I too love B&W.... History or Discovery had a great special on the flying wing, called something like "The Wing Will Fly"... A great show.

I plan to check out all the B&W links later at home. Nothing like a well exposed/printed black and white photo!
