Product Description
The Martin B-57 Canberra was a United States-built, twin jet engine light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, which entered service with the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1953. The B-57 was
initially a version of the English Electric Canberra built under license. However, the Glenn L. Martin Company significantly modified the design and produced several unique variants.
The world’s last two remaining flight worthy WB-57s reside at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX as high altitude scientific research aircraft.

F15 RC model jet breaks up in mid-air and crashes
This turbine-powered RC plane breaks up in mid air and plunges to the ground in pieces. Damn, I missed the actual break-up but I did catch the bits falling. Nobody’s totally sure what happened but it’s possible that a heavy landing earlier in the day may have weakened the spar which later broke, causing the left wing to tear-free and knock off the vertical stabilizers — resulting in an uncontrolled flat-spin for the rest of the model. RC jets are great fun but you can spend money *really* fast when things like this happen. Subscribe to XJet for a regular feed of full-sized and RC model videos, plus some other cool stuff.

Inquiry to Environment Canada
Thank you for your inquiry to Environment Canada. We receive numerous public enquiries concerning the composition and appearance of contrails and whether or not contrails pose a public health risk. Recent years have seen the emergence of popular opinions often carried by the media and seen on many websites suggesting that these visible contrails from planes are chemically laden. Hence, the term chemtrail. However, there is currently no scientific evidence to support the existence of chemtrails and Environment Canada cannot provide any scientific evidence. The phenomena that you are referring to are commonly called aircraft condensation trails or contrails. Airplane contrails are long white condensation trails made up of ice crystals left behind by aircraft flying primarily at high altitudes. They form when hot water vapour produced by the burning of aviation fuel cools rapidly as it comes into contact with the much colder air. The airplane’s exhaust increases the amount of moisture in the air. As the moist air cools it reaches saturation and the water vapour sublimates to form ice crystals. The cooling of the air and subsequent formation of ice crystals is very rapid so that the contrails appear almost immediately behind the aircraft. This process is analogous to seeing ones breath on a winter day. Because visible contrails are composed primarily of water/ice, they do not pose a health risk to humans. The appearance of contrails depends on many factors including the …
