- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -12/+183Finally a sign from the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Take that virgin Mary toast! - mentallyinhell, on 10/11/2007, -9/+98The flying spaghetti monster!
- Stevejsam, on 10/11/2007, -13/+43I work on a plane bigger then that one. Flares can burn a 1 foot deep hole in concrete. Nasty stuff.
P.S.- winglets are for pussies - jesuschrysler, on 10/11/2007, -6/+35@stevejsam (#7159824)
Horray @ pointless animosity towards winglets - vroom101, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26@stevejsam, I didn't know the flares could burn through concrete...that's some serious heat!
Beautiful pics, video: Wingtip vortices of two USMC KC-130 Hercules tanker/transport aircraft

@ stevejsam
You work on C-5' Galaxies I see. I'll take a C-17 any day...hell it checks it's own oil, nearly changes its own tires with integral jacking, and is has QUIET engines- oh, AND a crew chief can convert it from "pure cargo" to a stealth "airborne infantry" airdrop in under 20 minutes solo. It is the best of all the heavies combined.
lol those winglets make all the difference too, chicks dig stability. - xrisnothing, on 10/11/2007, -4/+23I clearly see the spaghetti monster. The two meatball eyes and the spaghetti are both there.
- FTLJohnson, on 10/11/2007, -9/+25SMOKE ANGEL???
You've gotta be kidding me... You Christians with your Angels are completely in denial... That jet was OBVIOUSLY touched by His Noodly Appendage!
Linguine, Fettuccine, Spaghetti... Ramen.
http://www.venganza.org/him2.jpg - Neem, on 10/11/2007, -8/+21holy crap you are right that IS the flying spaghetti monster.
I didnt believe before, but with this proof how could I ignore the truth? I am henceforth a pastafarian.
Edit: it seems mentallyinhell identified it ah hour before DesignEx, nice comment hax(isn't that what we are calling everything these days ?) - Comatose51, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12That is obviously the work of his noodliness.
Ramen. - brufleth, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10@pr0t3st
Agreed. This picture is probably a decade old by now.
Welcome to the intarwebs! - Zoltair, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9This is soo old, and so duplicated, my grandmother can fart smoke angels... buried....
- jtorkbob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Anyone have a photo of a flare burning through concrete? I suppose countermeasure-grade flares are hard to come by. Still, though.
- Osiriscky3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Winglets are not for pussies because they reduce the amount of wake turbulence and allow air to flow over the wing much smoother. So winglets are for safe and intelligent people, obviously not for you
- jtorkbob, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7So, maybe it's Digg's fault. I hear these things happen sometimes.
Everybody thinks their comment is the best, and posts a reply to the first comment even though it has nothing to do with the first comment.
Now, for once, a reasonable reply to the first post and what do you know? It's not attached to the first comment.
I smell conspiracy.
(I'm new here, but I'll say it: why can't Digg have proper threads?) - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7@stevejsam
while you are still on the flightline with that C-5 Galaxy trying to scrub up forms and fix all that trivial 50's era crap that breaks repeatedly- I'm already at the next downrange location with my forms in check, a beer in hand -getting a lapdance. That POS "fred" is all urs buddy, heheee - nastri83, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5O RLY???!?!?!??!!??!???!
-Sincerely wishing html tags were allowed. - byronknoll, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Here is an RSS feed for the astronomy pictures of the day: http://www.acme.com/jef/apod/rss.xml
- reventlov, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4AKU!!!!!!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Lets compare the 781 write ups of a C-5 and a C-17.
C-17 wins.
But what do I know, Im workin the KC-10s. Only the best heavy in the fleet. Damn straight, you heard me, wanna fight? - Jessejb, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Why?
Wingtips are hot. G550's have them.
It could look like one of the muppets from the muppet band. - furrot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Reminds me of that scene in Hellsing, where the Vatican fire off flares like that to make it look like "angels of god" are coming to save London... right before they start shooting...
- econojon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5It looks like the Spaghetti Monster!
- kindrobot, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7Ramen
- gitrplaya4u, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Thats weird...it didn't say "amazing photo of smoke angel"
- DoodleMaster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4THe Flying spaghetti MONSTER is .....REAL .........O-O?!?!
- deaconyermouf, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5*sits in anticipation of the first winglet flame war*

http://www.raf.mod.uk/news/archive/2005/images/limage_05_24_46.jpg - IShortysI, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4well jp-8 costs about $2.43 a gallon and a c-17 can hold 27,086 gallons so that comes out to about $65,818.98 to fuel up one of those bad boys. oh and you of course pay for it. not quit as bad as an f-16 (roughly 14000pounds including external tanks) and burns thru all that in about an hour and a half.
- effdatitsnick, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3lol, old
- mactrix, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Why is the jet flying at it instead of away?!
- illegalamigo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5it looks like the flying spaghetti monster
nevermind, i should have read that infinity other people thought that too - silentdud, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2you know I could have sworn I saw the virgin mary lol
- Charron, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4@bizchris
Your eyes are already cursed, then. - Sharky35, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Wow, looks like they just got finished bombing innocent Iraqi children. And decided to pollute the atmosphere the help speed up global warming. And that "smoke" could be nano RFID tags the brainwash Americans to vote for Fred Thompson.
Not buying the whole "flare" story. - Gizza, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3@Rikushix (#7180068)
I hope you realise that this pic has been around the net posted as a sign from the FSM for a long while. I first saw it posted as the FMS at least 6 months ago. - Typhoon2009, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2On YouTube there's a cool video of a C-130 firing its flares are few time, which pulls off an 'angel's fire' effect like here.
- techmaster, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2That picture has absolutely no resemblance to an angel whatsoever, but it definitely has me wanting to put on my pirate costume ASAP. Don't want to upset the flying spaghetti monster!
- KaZe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Mothman!
- galacticdoom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2mmmmmmmmmmmm symmetry
- suprememilo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3"WIng Zero was here"
- virtualfred, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3FYI, winglets are not for stability but for fuel efficiency. They force the air flow over the wings instead of allowing it to leak at the wing tips.
On the other hand, I have no idea if chicks dig efficiency... - toxicityj, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3that looks more like two pac men with long beards and long hair going in for a kiss...
- neimadsito, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2From the article: "The jet that released the flares, a C-17 Globemaster III, is seen on the right"
Anyone else notice that it would be impossible for the aircraft seen in the photo to be the one that released the flares - it would have to be flying backwards. It is quite obvious that the plane in the photo is flying towards the photographer. It is more likely the aircraft that released the flares is the same one carrying the photographer that took the photo, and the aircraft seen in the photo is trailing that aircraft. - sw1ft, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Sincerely glad they are not.
- pr0t3st, on 10/11/2007, -6/+8rant-Good god. Look, there is old enough to slide and then there is this horribly popular picture. Are there really that many ***** on the net that this has to be on the front page of digg AGAIN?? Digg me down, IDC. I know there are plenty of people with me who agree in saying WTF?
- Radionesiac, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3O Rly!?
- DangerCollie, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3"my grandmother can fart smoke angels..."
I'll bet reunions are a real hoot in your family. ;) - xspinkickx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1looks more like with winged goat demon over here
- JJayguy23, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I would totally make a Leopard widget out of this site.
