Using the right equipment except for that excavator on the left.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say no, since there's no pump there any more, and it doesn't appear to have been converted for generating electricity.
Well... maybe it will still turn, but it doesn't look like there's any way for it to do any actual work.

I suppose you are correct. Anytime I've seen one of those working, it's had a tank next to it.

KMLE. The price difference more than pays for the auto gas. A C-150 is fine for the flying I do.

Well, let me know some time when you're coming in to town. I've got my -12 hangared there and really need to fly more.
WILCO, I'll likely to be there during the post-Christmas break depending on weather. Keep in mind I'm like the Cold Miser in Winter, and the Heat Miser in summer as I seem to choose the stormy days; maybe just call me the Storm Miser.
Thanks for the kind words. 7D2 with a 50-500 Sigma. I usually set the aperture to F8, shutter to 1/500, and let the ISO float for exposure (unless I forget to set it). These settings reduce the effects of vibration IMO. I'm usually 1000 to 2000 AGL. In my favorite planes, the owner has the open window limiter disabled so the window opens completely.

There's a Wild-Weasel-on-a-Stick at St. Maries, Idaho (S72), as well. The F-100 swivels freely on the pylon to serve as the airport's wind indicator.
That's a cool wind indicator
The one I imaged was an advertisement for the SAC Museum

Great pix of Iceland. i have a few of Greenland, but none that good. Iceland was usually cloudy when I went over, when it wasn't I was too busy enjoying the view to grab a camera.

Not sure i can post a pix, but I'll give it a try.
Don't think wake turbulence is an issue? This is going into Paris. I can't remember what the plane was that was in front of us on approach, but nice view of their wake in going through the clouds.

A few years ago I was returning from Europe on a United 777. The huddled masses had been, um, encouraged by the friendly cabin crew to keep the windowshades closed.
The GPS display on the seat-back video screen showed we were just crossing the east coast of Greenland. Rebel that I am, I decided to sneak a peek outside. It was worth it.
Cool shots
Nice shot, too. I do the same thing. but minimize the opening and the time as some people are sleeping.

Home. I grew up in Pullman (heart of the Palouse country) and still go back a number of times a year.

My guess would be condensation caused by a pressure drop at the inlet.
I understand. however, there usually isn't much to see over the oceans, and a little "obedience" or whatever you want to call it goes a long way towards keeping people who want to sleep happy (for the most part). One thing I don't like about 787s is that the crew can darken the windows and you can't over-ride it. When the windows are dark, it blocks GPS signals, too.
Is it possible there is a reflection off the one of the two or three layers whatever the window is made of? Or it could be just as you state.

Our common thought is that it is the sound wave as the the air accelerates into the engine. I think we were probably doing almost M.84 in that decent, and probably somewhere about FL320 and descending. That was a few years ago, so I don't remember exactly. i didn't take the picture. The IRO did, just before returning to the cockpit for landing. It's a neat picture, no matter what it is. Often when going at fast mach numbers, you can see a similar wave dance across the wings. MD-80 is where I have seen it most.
That's cool. I've only seen tiny tornados in front of an intake during taxi in a passenger jet a long time ago. It made me appreciate FOD even more.
Impressive shot.

Hmm, the towers aren't there. I wonder when they added those.

That's not the Hoover dam.My father made this picture of Hoover dam in 1952.
Looks like the Shasta dam.

Nice picture. What plane was that in? At first i thought a DC-7, but after looking more close, I don't really think so.

I "think" it is a DC-6B
