Maybe you have to smoke something funny to see the magic...... ?? ::whistle::
:p
The mountain has the basic NACA airfoil shape. Most people can't draw a wing profile that accurately when they try.

You mean the whole part with the shadow or just the no-shadow part? First is like a tear drop but the second... Hey it really looks like an airfoil. An the little ravines.. Lift lines? ::rofl::
When you started the thread I thought you were talking about the "door" the article says about. But now, you might be on to something ::bow:: Still looks like a crater or hole more than a mountain though!
Nice find

It says in the article that it's a mountain and not a hole. The "door" is on the leading edge of it. That's where your description gets confusing too...
The "teardrop" shape that you refer to, that's the airfoil shape.
Keep in mind they'll have more pictures to confirm angles as well as various pictures of the shadow. The shadow is confusing people here.

At about 35kts forward velocity right---you see it too then huh? Or have you had as many "martoonis" as me?? ::drinking:: ::whistle:: ::whistle:: ::drinking::

Nope, no martoonis..... but I bet I could see better if I DID have one or two!!
That thing looks like a Giant Blue Blivet... whoa, I DO need a martooni... ::knockedout::
