I am sure you are familiar with Bob Whelan's "Exploring the Monster."
about the early wave experiments in the Owens Valley in the 1950's.
The Owens and Sierra Nevada wave is a classic example of what a hydraulic jump
can offer. 49,000 ft. off of a 14,000 foot mountain range is pretty impressive.

Yes, Bob Seyman's classic photo is well known...

But, to my question: Have you ever flown in a hydraulic jump?
Again, all my wave experiences in the Sierra have been classical wave.
