    B747 Shockwave

    For those that might not have seen it yet, Gerard has an amazing shot of a shockwave from a cargo B742 over NY:

    Whoa, that's nuts.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Misleading. The truth is that my uncle Jim was standing outside a Gas Station blowing smoke rings with his Kents. It floated up and the 74 just flew through it.

    You were telling me about this and I just could not wait to see it. That shot is eye candy to everyone in aviation as it shows us something that has never been recorded. This will be a shot that is discussed and shown in lectures of aviation as it shows something that is rarely seen and can not be duplicated in a wind tunnel. Absolutely Jaw Dropping!!! BRAVO
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Never though a 74 could do that. Awesome catch - perfect timming too.
