my first post on this BB, just wanted to say hey. Here's a nice shot of an F-15 flying patrol over a recent space shuttle mission...

And an awesome image it is... thanks for posting it.

wicked cool

spirit7 · 02-06-2002, 10:00 AM

hmmm... I've been looking for a new BB to hang out at. Thanks for the kind words, guys!

That's a pretty cool image you found there. The way the light from above contrasts with the background of the hazy clouds, the fighter looks like it was PS'ed in there.
Great pic.

Man, that IS cool. Hadn't noticed this thread until now.

That would make a nice wallpaper. Is that your picture? Could you post a 1024x768 version on your site for me to grab? Or just e-mail it to me. Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the welcome!

I do have a 1024x768 version that I'll post a link to. I'm currently moving my company into bigger office space and my FTP servers are down (along with my high-speed connections

). As soon as we get back up and running, I'll post the link.

WoW that is absolutely breathtaking....

If you prefer, spirit7, you could send it to me (the address below: cellar@catalystinternet.com) and I could put it in an anon ftp area here.

Actually there already is an anonymous ftp area, it's just that there's not much in it.

Awesome...as an aviator and astronautics fan, I thank you.

That fighter seems a bit underdressed for combat.

I guess the idea is that a missile would be too dangerous to have around, since if used they'd probably go right after the shuttle (the shuttle exhaust being somewhat warmer than your average intruding aircraft).

Instead, I think they rely on guns. They then can afford the weight of those wing tanks, giving them extra loitering time over the target area.
