Hi Tom,
I read your 2004 article in the Rensselaer Alumni magazine and have perused your website on the subject. You said to snap a picture and send it your way if anyone was in the neighborhood.  Consider it done!<\/p>\n

My observations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It seemed to me that the welded seams across the face of the rectangles were much more noticeable than I recall when it was on campus. <\/li>\n
  2. In the ~20 minutes or so while I was there, neither of the planes ever rotated more than about 30 degrees from vertical (with the longer \u2018half\u2019 pointing down).  That suggested to me that the planes were a little out of balance.  It wasn\u2019t terribly windy when I was there, and it was raining off and on.  I guess it\u2019s possible that enough rain sticks onto the surfaces to cause the longer halves to be heavier enough that they would dangle down like that. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It was good to see it again though!   Also, I was able to see a couple of pictures of it using Google street view.<\/p>\n
