Hi Guys,
These first Three I think have been posted before but I have enlarged them and tidyed them up so you can see them a bit better. Enjoy























































OK Santana, Hold on to your hat mate, these are for you buddy, Enjoy

These Fighter Jets are all breaking the sound barrier and just before they achieve it they create a Transonic Cloud which forms around the Aircarft.
It's a very cool event and can also be formed around Sub-Sonic Aircraft if the conditions are just right.

















There you go mate, I hope you've got your "Fix" for the day mate...lol

Hy! Great photos Hump. Thanks for the help. I`m tryimg to get as many information I can because Im building from scratch, nimitz superstructure. Its more like a test to me. I have some materials and I`m trying to build it. Of course some of the features must be invented because I dont have all the information I need.
I`l post some photos when I have something to show.

Thanks

[aliensurfer]

Amazing picturs!!!

Hi Guys,
It's 12:30 Moday morning here in Adelaide and we have just finished an 8 day Heat wave, temperatures of between 38 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees C, we've got a reprieve for a couple of days then it's going to soar to 41 degrees. (Easy conversion is double it and add 30). This summer is going to hurt I think. Anyway that's enough bitching and moaning time to post some pictures of my Favorite ships "BATTLE SHIPS" don't worry there's a carrier in each photo as well but I gotta tell you you I love the Iowa class ships - Low - graceful and powerful.



















Next ones a re post but I've cleaned it up..
















































There you go guys I really hope you like these ones as I really had to work on some of them to make them presentable but I think they are definitely worth the effort. One last thing, my tribute to the Enterprise has stalled at the moment as your National Archive hasn't got back to me yet with the pictures I have requested, it's been three weeks now, I truly hope they are interested in helping me as it would really be sad to forget such an important part of U.S. Naval history not to mention the lives of the crew members that were lost and or changed forever on one day in 1969, but I live in hope that I will hear from them soon.

You guys take care.
