I read an article about a Luftwaffe pilot who broke the sound barrier in an Me262 (the WWII jet fighter). Of course, he did it in a dive. The claim was disputed. An aeronautical engineer was quoted as saying, "Even if it were true, this is a little like doing Formula 1 in a riding mower." -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
