Concord went over beach @ Sailor Haven Fire Island, stopped conversation on the beach... you hadda look way ahead of the noise to spot him

wsn't SR-71 stationed out of Moffitt? only one thing that made better than speed & that wuz noise...

yeh, I grew up in VS before moving to Islip then Saugerties. when in Islip my wife bought a couch from some guy who had just sold his house somewhere down along Peninuslar blvd in far rockaway (I guess) anyway, while we were humping the couch on the truck, a plane went over, landing Idewild,........ you could see people in the windows! I made some remark about the #$%^ noise and I guy watching us said "thanks,I just bought this place".. he wasn't happy... I also remember CHAIN DRIVEN Colineal sand and gravel trucks going thru VS carrying "fill" from Northport to Idlewild thru S Franklin Ave in Valley Stream. JFK was ALL swamp...for probably months the trucks went by, seemed like every ten minutes...

I am not sure that they hafta be LEDs, I suspect filament bulbs flash also, but LEd is the correct answer.. BTW, film (movie) projectors have a frame rate of about 25/sec but EACH frame is exposed TWICE therefore the flicker rate is about 50/sec... somebody was thinking years and years ago.....

listen on the RR freq, "dragging equiptment' detectors" usta announce time speed etc. I listened to the detector (amtrak) at Tivoly,NY (also one on the river line @ Saugerties) for years and years, gave train speed (usually about 93 mph) also, but a previous post seys they have gone digital,, don't know

I never raced, (too damn many rules),sold my last sailboat in 1996 and have done nothing since but get older., but I would kill to sail the great south bay just once more....

when super glue first came out , it was known as "Eastman 9-10", and cost about $12/oz.

yeh, my thoughts also.... camera shake?????????? my best guess

watching a football game where a long lens is used, object farther away seem larger. this distortion is least(35mm full frame) when a 50mm lens is used, the main reason why it is so popular. for portrats, (for whatever reason) most use 100mm lens..(something to do with making the nose look smaller).

become a believer, go thru a hang fire......fortunately it was only about 2-3 seconds, but !!probably caused by a poorly seated primer & my fault but a learning experience...sigh

BINGO!

All this talk about firearm safty reminds me.... in the army I got stuck with "prison chaser", a detail like KP where you took prisoners on work details or to court or whatever.. Waiting for work, the guy next to me was screwing around with his 45 and scared the hell out of me when he put a round thru the floor.. (there was a box to load and unload your weapons, he had been instructed to use it and did not..). Poor guy is probably still in levenworth, and after the noise of a 45 fired inside, right next to me, I almost needed my laundry done. (fortunately, he was a poor shot)

it wasnt a firearm, it was a prop & it probably SHOULD have been loaded with blanks so that clearing it would be a JOKE!!!, it was (probably) suposed to be loaded!!! and the actor had more to think about except a $%%^ prop, he was thinking about how he could execute his actions (lines he had to say) and there was probably 5 guys around makeing sure his cigarette was the correct length, his clothes was as clean (or dirty) as the last scene and about 1000 other things.. I am back to a murder investigation, but not of the actor, the guys who were preparing him for the shoot, it was their responciability to insure that the gun was loaded (or not), and what with...... etc etc...

..............................he did not discharge a weapon,he used a studio prop!
