Is that the way you can tell? I thought it might have something to do with a pelican pulling a 3g vertical climb with F-18's.

Thor..

'ere pelican, pelican, pelican.....

Yes, I thought Pelicans were only cleared to 2g max in all envelopes?
Course, I might be wrong.......maybe it's the latest F43K Pelican, with the airfoil mods?

Could that be the first time there was a chance of a bird-strike from the REAR?

 

[evangilder]

Good old bug-smashers...

And for the record, that's a new, top-secret mod on that pelican. Word in the intelligence community is that they are working on the SNIPER pod modification and possible some stealth upgrades. Surprised this photo leaked out.
