AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
hahaha. I had the guy down here at my desk today. We were looking all around O'hare Airport and couldn't find any jets in the air. Sure there are some on the runway, but we couldn't find one in the air.
I'm taking this as a challenge to find some other Mapquest pic with an airplane in the air.
I will post here if I find anything......see ya in 100 years!

Originally posted by petefol i just thought a plane would look a little bigger unless it was just taking off or landing. most jets fly about 30 miles high (i think), and the atmposhere goes up about 60 miles, and a satelite in low earth orbit is like 100 miles high right? that plane looks only about 2 or 3x bigger then it should be.
it might be coming in for a landing if its near an airport.
even better look for a car crash thats about to happen.....
Originally posted by Heat assuming there are 1000 planes in the air and they are flying at 10000 feet altitude, figureing the area of the spere at which the planes are flying and the planes are flying at mach 1. Figure the area of the photo is assumed to be 10 miles square, the odds are somewhere around 1.6 billion to one.
Beam, you wanna pick my lotery numbers? heh (j/k I don't gamble)
how did you figure those odds? and besides the concorde, i dont think any commercial planes fly at the speed of sound, more like 400-500mph, and some private jets might go a little faster.
"figureing the area of the spere at which the planes are flying"...?
