Bongodriver, by all means post your findings. You might learn something.

Take a guess what the p is in the formula??

Don't let that stop you from posting the findings from a turbojet. We can then change the subject to some basic properties of thrust producers! Like I said, you will learn something!

Learn something from you?......I doubt it.

I'm not posting pics for means of making revelations other than gratuitous 'look at me here at FL400 taking pics for my forum buddies', I couldn't post yesterday because I didn't make it back to home base before they closed and diverted to Luton, hotel had crappy wifi and I only had my phone, still it meant I got to take some more pics of todays sectors to Stuttgart and Sion, the latter being very Christmassy so I thought they'd go nice.

pics 1,2 on way back from Aalborg yesterday, pic 3,4 on ramp at Luton this morning, pic 5 on ramp at Stuttgart.
