ROFL, WTF?

GODDAM THIS F KEY!

that is epic!

................. this certainly belongs in this forum... random.....

thats like, the best pic ever!

I believe it is a F-86 Sabre...

WHY someone would make such a random image from it i have no idea

Thats awesome! Sabre's are cool too. I wonder what it actually was... Some form of American secret weapon or something?

Dont see why we dont go back to blimps We know how to use inert gasses now, so i dont see how there could be a problem. I mean, you could carry thousands of passengers really really really far (albeit very slowly)....

Apparently it was going at about Mach 15 (9,941MPH, or should I say OVER 9000!!!!!), but yeah, we can't do that with anything but rockets, IIRC.

As or blimps, going slow is not what people want. Though there are some absolutely massive ones in development. They are very vulnerable, though, even i they won't explode, a puncture means it will start to drop. It can be designed stronger, but it's quite hard and expensive.

Thus needing a bigger blimp... xD catch 22...

Surely the pilot would of heard all 15 Sonic booms as the thing sped away O_o something moving that quickely should of certainly made some sort of noise as it smashed the sound barrier that many times.

A sonic boom is just a continuous sound, I think. Theoretically you can not make one too, with the right aerodynamics and quiet engines.

Nice pic and story lol... i wonder...
