Have you ever seen one in real? ..in a german grammar class some 25 years ago, I looked for some 15-30 seconds at what I thought was an orange target tug jet, "in a normal southbound cruise coming from the sound east of Senja" (the other big mainland island) ,"about to pass over around" Harstad, Norway, at "about 3-4000 ft". I guessed "about .8 Mach". ..looking out the window, was inspired by the profound enthusiasm in german grammar classes you'd expect from your average aeromodeller, who found ID'ing the tug, _far_ more intriguing. Nice girls too. ;-) ..it only "blinked twice" flying behind the mountains on the Rolla and Andørja islands, no translucency. I blinked too. ;-) > (Did you ever wonder why that is?) ..as I had no camera handy, and I did'nt think of it as anything but an orange target tug jet until it was gone, I went with the _Quiet_ Simpson Approach[Tm] "Nobody saw me do that...". ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
