Isn't there an updated plane outfitted with the mini-guns, laser guided now I think.
Spooky or Puff the Magic Dragon was a modified C-47 and called a AC-47.

David, No it is an annular eclipse (about 92% total) and the center line of annularity runs just south of Cedar City. St. George would be within the zone that the moon passes in front of the sun but would not be as good as in Kanarraville.

Yes, and Bryce will be north of where you want to be.
David,
No it is an annular eclipse (about 92% total) and the center line of annularity runs just south of Cedar City. St. George would be within the zone that the moon passes in front of the sun but would not be as good as in Kanarraville.

Is this a total solar eclipse? Will it be visable from St. George? I have a place to stay if the total ecipse is visable from St. George, Utah.

Are you refering to the AC-130? It is a direct decendant of the AC-47 I believe. This was five years ago and has probably been replaced by now. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4639921789181083769#

Isn't there an updated plane outfitted with the mini-guns, laser guided now I think.
Spooky or Puff the Magic Dragon was a modified C-47 and called a AC-47.

I've always loved the DC3, because it's so sturdy and has been a real workhorse for many decades. The military version could fly will all kinds of aitiaircraft damage. But I agree that biplanes are the coolest, and the Constellation is great-looking. (Somehow, I have an impression that the Constellation had a fatal flaw with that tail -- or am I thinking about another plane? Can anybody figure out what my poor old brain is trying to drag out of the murk of the past?) -- Joe

Also keep in mind that the Bryce Astronomy Festival has been scheduled for May 17-20, 2012 to coincide with the eclipse.

Hi All,
I booked a hotel room in Cedar City for the eclipse in May. A few are all booked up, so just as a reminder, now is probably the time to make reservations.
