PG_Raptor Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Wow... they hit a mountain that wasn't on the charts. And it didn't penetrate the inner hull. That is insane. Good find!

+Fates Posted January 29, 2005 Author Posted January 29, 2005 Awesome.... I never would have suspected the "Radome" to be a kevlar composite....always thought it was steel....gotta save weight somewhere. Great shots.. <C> Fates
