Somnus Posted November 27, 2016 Report Posted November 27, 2016 Kind of a niche post, but I found the following page kind of interesting. It shows some pictures of WWII contrails, some of them twisting and turning, indicating the dogfights high above the earth. We're used to seeing contrails today, but this sort of sight would have been brand new to the people of the time! http://contrailscience.com/fightercontrails-over-kent-1941/ J5_Hotlead and Stuka 2 Quote
Britchot Posted November 27, 2016 Report Posted November 27, 2016 That's a great collection. I live near Edwards Air Force base and I see the contrails of guys doing test flights and think back to these photos. Quote
J5_Hotlead Posted November 27, 2016 Report Posted November 27, 2016 Nice! Thanks for sharing, Somnus! Quote
Somnus Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Posted November 27, 2016 That's a great collection. I live near Edwards Air Force base and I see the contrails of guys doing test flights and think back to these photos. I was born at Edwards AFB! Of course, my dad got reassigned when I was 3 months old, but still, I have a connection there! Quote
Britchot Posted November 27, 2016 Report Posted November 27, 2016 That sounds like me and Pensacola, I was only there for 2 months, lol. Quote
