A reader (who wishes to remain anonymous) sent me the link to this picture. Here’s a high resolution version. The photo was taken over the Atlantic Ocean near Charleston, SC on 16 May 2006 — a C-17 released flares, and the smoke from the flares makes the turbulent air in the big plane’s wake visible, including the wingtip vortices.
Cool shot!
Awesome! If there is no name for it yet, I reccomend “Gods Binoculars”.
Cheesy yet elegant no?
Niss
It’s all a lie! The photograph proves the existence of angels, I tell you!!
