sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

dont mean to burst your buble but ive and we here at the ats have seen that pic a million times. but its a great one anyways

haha sorry I haven't been here too long but did you guys always have the INFO to go with it

yea it really does look fake and did you say it has appeared in many publications worldwide?

ahhh i see now. no prob welcome to the ats trust me this board can be very addictive. My gf always nags me about it. Oh well if you need any info on anything send me a u2u and ill try to help. Its cool to see younger people getting involved.

thanks, but I was under the impression it was a real photo due to the amount of details it was presented with on the site where I found it, I do believe it's real

hehe... I saw a documentary about that style of photography... really interesting stuff.

haha the apple one is great

I don't think I've seen any other kinds of images like that

It's a real photo. I believe it has to do with water vapor and the speed the aircraft is traveling at (not exactly sure how it works).

I think that was a joke because the Wright Brothers plane could obviously never break the sound barrier

Thats not a Wrigth Brothers plane

P-38 Lightning, several aircraft (2 or 3) were lost during high speed dive testing. Basically the super structure holding the two fuselages collapased and the aircraft broke apart. As they had no Mach gauges at the time and the added loss of the pilot it was difficult to determine the "break up" speed. After extensive computer modeling in the late 80's it was determined that the last variant I think P-38D was capable of exceeding the sound barrier at 749 (knots ?) but considering it would have had to pull in excess of 8g's to recover from the almost 25 thousand foot dive.

well I wasn't being serious, I'm sure technically it can be done somehow

hell yeah the stealth bomber in action

nice find
