And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I wonder if flying that close, you encounter turbulence?
There is turbulence back there. The bigger the hunk of aluminum hurtling through the sky the bigger the turbulence. Think of the turbulence streaming back and a little down from the exhaust. In minimum interval takeoffs, when you're trailing somebody it's good to make a bid to one side or the other. You can also go under or over. Don't be directly behind. Look at some of the movie clips from B-52 MITOs. There's a couple of scary looking effects from the turbulence.
Not as far below him as they're flying.
ReplyDeleteNot that close. Wingtip vortices tend to sink and disperse laterally.

Not the second guy. Maybe the third or fourth, unless they stay low.

ReplyDeleteNo, and that's not close.
ReplyDeletewith that separation, probably not too much. what there is, is noise and lots of it
