If it is legal to scan the picture in and put it up online, someone please do so and link to it. It’d be cool.

I would think that killing whales _with_ sonar might be a military application – if whales were our enemies. Protecting them? That seems more… civilian.

I found the pic last night. It’s in the issue where the cover is about weather gone wild, a dusty tornado winding through (I believe) Texas.

Of course I held it up for the wife, pointed to one of the blurry figures staring down into the tank and said “I know this guy.”

:dubious:Did you even read your link? There is clearly a picture of **Uncle Rojelio** in a black and white wet-suit jumping out of the water. 😛

Congratulations UR! Good luck with your project.
