slightly OT - NASA ER-2

@corp.supernews.com: Snipola Next, I'm going to callibrate the optical system so I can determine a range, and therefore an approximate altitude. I have a hunch it wasn't flying very high, as at zenith I could still make out it's shape clearly naked eye. Snipola OK, just computed a range. She was indeed at 70,000 feet or thereabouts. I'm really surprised that when she flew by that I could make it out naked eye at that altitude. No, I'm not worth $6 million.
