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.

Heres the Christmassy ones, the amazing view approaching the Swiss Alps and the descent on the 'IGS' approach to Sion.
Merry Christmas everyone, maybe we'll be nicer to each other next year....

Nice photos, particularly like the first 2
what height were you over the alps? Last edited by fruitbat; 12-23-2012 at 08:10 PM. |

probably around 23000' in a descent to 17000' by the time I started taking the Sion pics.

Nice to see a commercial pilot that actually puts his commercial license to use.

When are you going to list the 16 squadrons that were the only squadrons to use 100 octane fuel during the BoB?
Must be like the Fw190s that were at Stalingrad in the late fall of 1942. |

- basic principles of heat exchangers don't fully explain general aircraft engine oil temperatures - general aircraft engine oil temperature characteristics don't fully explain Spitfire specific oil temperatures That means, while it is comparatively easy to estimate the heat exchange in the radiator for a given set of conditions, this is just one piece of the puzzle of oil temperature calculation. |

Did they know about the counterflow multiplier in WW2?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countercurrent_exchange It makes a huge difference to efficiency. Quote:
