Now THAT'S a good afterburner.

Smiley

Just one question, why are the wheels white? Huh

thanks.

and the wheels are white for heat reflection or something like that because otherwise they get too hot.

Great photo jetprop Shocked

. Really brings out the beauty of the beast Smiley

.
And club, The sr-71's rear wheels were painted white for heat deflection. The front ones were cooled by the cabin air conditioning thus eliminating the need to have the wheels in a special type saving costs. But again, if you were operating the habu, the last thing on your mind would be cost Tongue

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

o,o,o pick me!!! They're called ummmmm. Stars. You know giant balls of fire in space which are commonly mistaken to be burning? Cheesy

Just put a layer of cumulus and cirrus to stop the Natural "glitch" Grin

i know but i just wanted to add a small amount of clouds and i didn't notice them at first.
and techinicly they arent balls of fire.
they are balls of hydrogen and helium depending on the age of the star.
and REALY old stars sometimes turn helium into carbon,dont know where i heard that but trust me:i know WAY to much,half of the time i dont even know how i know.

Bear Scare!
CF-18 Hornet, 410 Squadron (Cougars), of CFB Cold Lake, Alberta, Intercepts a Soviet Bear over the Canadian Arctic.

Up untill the mid 90's, the Soviets would frequently send flights of bombers over the arctic to patrol within Canadian airspace to test rection times. Canadian pilots started refering to these scrambles as Bear Scares. Ive witnessed several of these intercept launches while I was an air cadet, attending summer camp at CFB Cold Lake (CYOD). My closest personal experience of the Cold War...

Great shot Cool

. How high did the "bears" use to fly at the point of interception?

CORRECT! I'm quite impressed! I'm pretty sure not many people who don't actually go in and study this type of stuff like us know that! but they can even go MUCH further than that down the elemental table. Search a bit deeper and you'll see. Wink

But really. I love science And I'm always reading more on the internet Cool

But Jetprop good to see there are still a few kids who find boring old nature interesting.
But The media really misleads people saying the stars burn. They can't they are in outer space and fire needs oxygen to burn. In fact that's why the "true" Few experts tell you to avoid opening doors when there's a fire.
