A much more tasteful and educational bus-wrap than those used here in south
Florida.  To advertise the annual airshow in Fort Lauderdale some of the
buses were wrapped with large full-colour illustrations of attacking
warplanes.  It was interesting to stop at an intersection and see an F-18
strafing the cross-street.
