I did find other clearer photos of this modification on this aircraft.

RIP, John Parker.
Great photo Kaylan and it must be nice to have such a close access to airplanes. You must work for Embraer.

Warmwynds - yes, these are rare modifications on a small aircraft. There are other photos of this a/c in Flight Aware's photo collection and those show the same external modification.

Thanks for clearing that up. You just don't see anything like that on small aircraft.
Written on 21/10/2018 by warmwynds
Warmwynds - the middle window is enlarged for either a viewer or sensor observation purposes. The object affixed to the port side of the fuselage would likely contain a sensor package.

Check the FAA registry. This is a corporate owned aircraft...

Take a look viewers at the port side of this Aircraft. Anything seem out of place? Fill me in on this poor photo.

Likely departing Barksdale 33. You can find a lot of B-52H (and some older others) with this exact pose. It is the result of taking the LA782-2 exit off I-20 in Shreveport with a decent camera and some patience.

Is that just art or an attempt to clear flocking birds from the airport? Ha ha!

There are four (4) additional photos of N3BT in the FA collection... all those uploaded by FA member Scot Wattawa...

Thank you! The Flightaware system sometimes glitches out and enters the wrong aircraft.

This is so cool I spotted this plane at the same time

Very nice Francisco and it looks pretty good for a 63 years old airplane. I saw another of those Convairs take off in the morning and this one was from 1956.

Jake Youngs - This is a Piper PA-31 Navajo... and the correct FAA registration is N3BT... :-)

I'm not a fan of American Airlines, but I do like the way they recognize their history with the commemorative paint schemes. Now if they could channel some competent management from their past....

Fabulous size comparison - and - the 738 looks larger because it is closer to you. If it was the same distance away from you as that Lufthansa is, the size difference would be even more apparent. Awesome catch, Uwe.

Ooops. A typo in my previous comment - the "B" and the "N" are next to each other on the keyboard - I meant to type KAUN (Auburn Municipal), not KAUB.

Absolutely beautiful aircraft. As has happened with many designs, it was just too innovative for its' time.

This phenomenon is no overt danger to plane or pilot.
In the early days of transsonic and sonic flight, there were numerous control difficulties due to the lack of knowlege of aerodynamics at these speeds. These aerodynamic forces are much better understood today, and (for the most part) we know how to deal with them.

What we see here is scientifically known as a "Prandtl-Glauert singularity", and it is not directly related to accelerating through Mach 1.
-
Quoting Professor Mark Cramer of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute:
"Finally, it should be clear that Prandtl-Glauert condensation has nothing to do with "breaking the sound barrier" and is not a Star Trek-like "burst" through Mach one. An aircraft can generate a Prandtl-Glauert condensation cloud without ever exceeding the speed of sound."

Beautiful!
Written on 20/10/2018 by Dan Little
beautiful ! Quite a shock wave. At this point, does the pilot need to quickly accelerate out of this because of the low altitude turbulence ?
Written on 20/10/2018 by sarafinc
Yep - A400. The 130 has no anhedral in the wings. Guess Airbus couldn't figure out a design that could get rid of sideslip problems that might contribute to dutch roll.

Reminds me of those touch and goes at SAC Rome, NY already 36 years ago. The children and I parked the car just under the flight line and got blasted on decent. We waved at the pilot and enjoyed the air show. After 3 go arounds we had ringing ears and big smiles...we evacuated before our eardrums broke...
