Saturn's Brightly Reflective Moon Enceladus  A brightly reflective Enceladus appears before Saturn's rings, while the planet's larger moon Titan looms in the distance. Jets of water ice and vapor emanating from the south pole of Enceladus, which hint at subsurface sea rich in organics, and liquid hydrocarbons ponding on the surface on the surface of Titan make these two of the most fascinating moons in the Saturnian system. Enceladus (313 miles, or 504 kilometers across) is in the center of the image. Titan (3,200 miles, or 5,150 kilometers across) glows faintly in the background beyond the rings. This view looks toward the anti-Saturn side of Enceladus and the Saturn-facing side of Titan. The northern, sunlit side of the rings is seen from just above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 12, 2012. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 600,000 miles (1 million kilometers) from Enceladus and at a Sun-Enceladus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 36 degrees. Image scale is 4 miles (6 kilometers) per pixel on Enceladus. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute Read More Planned books:None Current books:

Brings to mind dropping a roll of TP out the window of a Citabria and doing reversals to cut the streamer…a long time ago.
Cool stuff, that! I had to go to The Wiki, though… coz I thought “square wingtips on a Spit?” Yep… Mk. XIIs had ‘em.
Oh! Perfect job!
Very good and helpful post.
Thx, your blog in my Google reader now
We’ll expect many new interesting posts from you

Thanks for the comments and stopping by — might want to take a look at the “Flightdeck Fridays Index” page listing in the right hand column – it carries a listing of pretty much all the FF posts thus far. Ditto the Coral Sea/Midway series.

Oh man, what a great movie! There is a guy who gives P-51 rides down in Key West. Maybe it’s time to make the investment… just so I could do that aileron roll. Okay, it would be cheaper to rent a Citabria up in Homestead.
I’m retired Air Force, yes I have a great vocabulary and demand air conditioning, and I am puzzled as to why the NAVY pukes have such good Websites. You and Instapinch are hard to beat. I ain’t gunna try.
