Ultralights Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 a great pic showing the size and effect of wake turbulence behind a heavy aircraft. http://www.315aw.afrc.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/photos/060516-F-9712C-456.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Redair Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Is it me, or does that thing cause more wake turbulence because it was flying backwards? Zoom in and take a look!;) Redair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyhog Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm with you Redair,all that (special) effect looks closer than the A/C! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Longden Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Is that wake vortex from the camera ship or the MD17 at the right of picture? Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fred Bear Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think the video of it is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K66rb9rbznE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redair Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Now that is spooky.... just watched the video, after telling my wife last night that the picture looked like smoke trails from a flare-firing Hercules, and nothing to do with the GlobeMaster. When she gets home I'm just gonna have to show her how clever I was!! Now then, those Lotto numbers, I think a 2, then maybe a 27, and 15 hasn't been out for a while.... Regards, Redair.

Skyhog Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Now that makes more sense!Cool video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Longden Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Gotta put me glasses on.... The piccie is of a Globemaster, while the vid is of a C130 Herc firing off flares.. or am I seeing things? The piccie could have been of the Globemaster after doing a similar thing... or the photoship, or it was Wayne Cary smoking again...:confused: Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redair Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 How about... now I might be getting into space-time continuum disruptions theory here but... there were actually 3, yes 3 aircraft!? One camera ship, one firework firing Fat Albert, and one lagging-behind Globemaster, or is that just too far fetched and merely in the realms of something that could only happen in a "Never Ending Story"?

Guest Fred Bear Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Christ only knows. I think Wayne Carey was over with his white stuff when I posted that video :;)3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 the globemaster is fitted with the same defence system as the herc, the chaff and flare dispensers. so its capable of doing the flare angel creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
