Wow, impressive paint-job. But if I'm not mistaken, they'll have the fire and smoke ("smaug") coming from the wrong end of that critter.

Well, that depends. If he's been eating Balrogs (Peter Jackson fiery version), you would expect some fire and smoke from Smaug's -- er -- exhaust.

Really, though, they did an amazing job. I mean, how much more appropriate of a name could anyone find for a jet aircraft?
