Sweet pic.
But I'll be the first to admit, that's too much money to spend on a terrorist. [:D] Between getting the terrorist out to sea, paying for the car, and spending the time to launch it, your looking at $10K!! |

Quoted: how dare they pollute the oceans like that "On 7 January 2002, Enterprise entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for a scheduled one-year Extended Docking Selected Restricted Availability (EDSRA). ' [url]http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/ships/carriers/histories/cv65-enterprise/ent820901.jpg[/url] Could it be they did that as a fund raiser for the Norfolk School district? [:D] |

Any stats on how far the car flew?
Somebody with a physics background should figure this out for us. What is the coeff. of drag of the car? How much did it weight? What was the thrust force and speed of the catapult? Headwind (knots)? Tailwind (knots)? Cruising speed of the carrier? They should have a contest to see how far different types of crap will get launched. How far does a washing machine go? A piano? A guy on rollerskates? |

Personally, I think its a great way to dispose of all our old junked cars. Not to mention it provides lots of little mini-reefs for marine life.

Magnum, ask the British how far a piano flies off a carrier catapult, they've done that. There was an earlier British carrier called HMS Ark Royal (there have been at least 3 UK carriers with than name over the years) which had a piano in it's officers mess. As one of the last acts before the carrier was decomissioned, they managed to get the piano out onto the flight deck and launch it from a catapult.

My Dad served aboard the USS Kearsarge CV33 from 1946 to 1949 (Marine Detachment). He would have loved to have been apart of the piano race.
