                        THIS QUIZ HAS ENDED!

                        So don't guessSmile [:)]


                        Howdy folks and thanks Blackwolf for letting me have a go at this. I don't know if this will be really hard or easy for most everyone, but there is probably no middle ground since you either know what it is or you have never seen it before, (like me until last Friday). ENJOY !

                        As usual, submit replies via the email button below. Do not post guesses in the thread. The answer next weekend, Saturday-ish




                        REPLIES: 11
                        CORRECT: 11
                        Guess it wasn't as hard as I thought.

                        Hey, Eagle. Can you supply an email link? I think I know what this is. (checked at SHF-no link there, either) Maybe you're not expecting any answers?

                        I understand those things were very, very quiet in flight. The first picture I ever saw of it was in the possesion of a friend of my then boss. He was part of the unit that conducted operational tests on this and its successor. Told us that at night, if it crossed your position at an altitude of 100 ft agl or higher, you just didn't hear it. And if it was any lower than that you only heard a slight whisper of sound.
