Man Proposes During Helicopter Flight

Well, Actually It Was Spelled Out By Friends And Family On The Beach

Johnathan Salma and Zuleth Telleria first got together at Huntington Beach, CA, about three years ago. The two returned for a sightseeing flight over the beach about a month ago, and Telleria got a big, and we assume welcome, surprise.

ANN's Daily Aero-Term (07.16.12): Anomalous Propagation (AP)

Anomalous Propagation (AP) Non-standard atmospheric temperature or moisture gradients will cause all or part of the radar beam to propagate along a non-normal path. When non-standard index-of-refraction distributions prevail, "abnormal" or "anomalous" propagation occurs. When abnormal downward bending occurs, it is called "superrefraction." If the beam is refracted downward sufficiently, it will illuminate the ground and return signals to the radar from distances further than is normally associated with ground targets. The term "subrefraction" is applied when there is abnormal upward bending of the radar beam.

"Today's flight is another on-time milestone for the program... We'll start out testing the P-8I's mission system, which includes its sensors and communication systems. The team then will transition to 'stores' tests during which the P-8I will carry inert weapon shapes under its wings to demonstrate that the aircraft is capable of carrying all the weapons the Indian Navy will use during regular missions."
