Tumbleweed Posted February 19, 2014 Share NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory image in extreme ultraviolet light shows an active region of the sun's coronal loops taken over about a two-day period, from February 8 - 10, 2014 and released on February 18, 2014. Coronal loops are found around sunspots and in active regions. These structures are associated with the closed magnetic field lines that connect magnetic regions on the solar surface. Many coronal loops last for days or weeks, but most change quite rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, heard that one as well, not sure it was Mr O but it was done by someone. They also used a heli previously at Gosforth Park after an early morning rain shower to try out the track Edit: Spelling Edited February 19, 2014 by Bobbo_SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guy in Pink Posted February 19, 2014 Share Same pilot a few months back flew my boss and I from Twangiza to Namoya over the jungle .The pilot and my boss saw service together in the Rhodesian war, with my boss commanding some ground troops and our pilot was his spotter in the air.So as we approached Namoya the radio crackled to life with " Green leader - copy Mike"Older Hubbers get the significance of the Green Leader bit. johannrissik, Ed-Zulu, SwissVan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
