Another cool SR-71 pic. Looks like a pulse type of engine...also maybe a prototype given the NASA paint and co-pilot bubble.  ???



I'm a little late to the convo - but I didn't see a response to this post.  What you're seeing there is 'mach disks'.  They form in super sonic jet/thruster exhaust when the thrust meets the lower pressure of the the ambient air

- That photos of an SR-71 trainer, hence the back seat

- Description on Mach Disks and shock diamonds, that happens to feature that same photo.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

The Antonov 225 has never had an accident, as far as I can tell on google.

That would be a fun plane to take a ride in. If you can take a few pics when the plane is all opened up and loading. 

Have fun!  [thumbsup]

Pfft-I'm told it's so rough you can't actually tell when you land. That and I think it's about 20 some odd hours in it for me.


I'd love to take pics, it's not possible. I'll post a review in sept though :-)
