Ahhhh... the best AC ever built IMHO!

xoxoxoBruce · 10-12-2007, 04:14 PM

And one of the best pictures I've seen of an A-10. Thanks CharlieG.

Without question, my favorite aircraft of all time.

Thank you!

Aircraft? Don't be silly, aircraft don't surf like Dolphins and sharks.

So, are we saying there would or would not be a sonic boom at the formation of the vapor/cloud we see in the photo?

The vapor cloud is not a necessary connection with the sonic boom it seems. That depends on many things, like air temperature, moisture, aeroplane speed and even the shape of the fast traveling "thing".. So, breaking the sonic barrier is not necessary to produce the cloud, if I understand things correctly.. But then again, if the sound barrier is broken, it is very likely that this phenomenon is produced.

It takes two years to eat a plane, so lots of recipe potential here.... and probably lots of pulled vapors.

..It's funny. Although I am Finnish and English language is by no means easy to me, I've been doing just fine with what little I know for so many years. This forum though, is something else. So many jokes, subtle (more or less, don't know) references or whatever are pretty mysterious to me.

It's a challenge. And an interesting one at that.

(Like those dolphins. I just don't get it.. Yeah. I do feel slightly challenged right now..

)

narcuul, there was an IOtD, way, way back, that sparked a long debate, on whether it was a shark or a dolphin in a wave, right next to a surfer. Now, when ever either one is mentioned, someone is likely to mention the other.

Ok, Bruce, and Spuck, now I get the dolphins and the sharks. Thanks.

I have seen that picture before. But I never would have thought it was about that..

And.. I have to say I really don't know if it's a shark or a dolphin. I always thought it was a shark, but never really *thought* about it..

Ok. So much for that.

Not hardly, I'm sure it will raise it's ugly fin, repeatedly.

Hi narcuul,
I'm impressed with your grasp of English.

This is the picture.
This is NOT a shark. Sharks do not have a horizontal tail. Sharks have no interest in surfing. Dolphins love surfing and do it all the time.

I don't think I have ever seen a dolphin that large before.

Dolphin or not, if I was the guy on the surfboard I would be needing a change of wetsuit. Sitting IN the ocean, I don't think I would have the wherewithall to make analytical judgements.
