This is as good of a reason as any to use transponders at altitude. I was sitting in front of a Boeing 777 Pratt Whitney PW4090 engine this afternoon and had a coworker snap this photo. That's a 90,000 lb. thrust engine and I'm about 6 feet tall. They say the outside cowling diameter is equal to the diameter of a 737 fuselage.

I think a single place ship could disappear in here without a hickup. It's a monster.
