Hawker vs. Glider Midair - with photo!
"Jim Vincent" wrote in message
. .. I think for all intents, the glider would have been effectively a small dot in the sky except for the last seconds. No, it's the Hawker that was a small (2 meters) motionless white dot in the white sky. The thermalling glider was an 18-meter white cross moving against the desert background. The jet was descending, wasn't it? That means no soot trail. Which, I am convinced, is the only part of the jet visible head-on from far enough to have any practical chance at all to evade, at glider speed. -- Yuliy
