Ol' Gen-Xer here - Oh, we do remember Flash only sites... I remember having to build one or maybe two of them even, of course after trying ultimately in vain to explain to the client just how bad an idea it was. Though this was still in the times before the security issues, before the Adobe years.

You gotta tell me, what did it feel like? :)

It kinda looks, to my eyes at least, like it has a matte finish in photos, so my thinking would be that it would have perhaps an almost shark skin roughness or something? Though you'd imagine surely not given the bit of extra drag when factored over the whole airframe...maybe?

But then again, at those speeds I wonder if there would be a difference or if boundary layer effects take over or something of that nature.

Actually, with one of the problems being faced in that space at present, especially for applications involving factual answers, being "hallucinations" ( ie. essentially as I understand it the level of "creativity" in responses) such "creativity" may well be quite suited to finding those various unusual edge cases.
