Went out on my break on Tuesday at the Frick to shoot flowers and caught this roofer looking for leaks on the edge of the roof of the Frick Art Museum in Point Breeze. Helios-44-2 on a Pentax K-r with a genuine M42 adapter.

John Giles, crawler element operations manager for NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems, holds a plaque near the odometer of the agency’s crawler-transporter 2, on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, commemorating the milestone of 2,500 miles traveled since its construction in 1965. Crawler-transporter 2 reached the milestone while teams took it on a trip in preparation for supporting the roll of the mobile launcher from Launch Pad 39B back into the spaceport’s Vehicle Assembly Building ahead of the Artemis II launch. Built originally to transport massive Saturn V rockets during the Apollo Program, crawler-transporter 2 continued its service during the Space Shuttle Program, and currently transports the massive SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft atop the mobile launcher as part of the agency’s Artemis campaign.

I was just going to go to dinner early, but seeing that the eastbound Texas Eagle had a pair of motors instead of just one and the sun was shining nicely, I decided to take a walk.
EMBRAER EMB.326KAM Xavante
a/c 207, FAC Flight, 13° Esquadrón de Combate (13° EdC), Angolan Air Force (AAF)
Lubango/Mukanka (FNUB) Base Aérea No.2, Angola, 15 July 1980
Personal mount of Captain Carlos Chaínho
When UNITA gained power in Angola in June 1975, it did so with the active support of Brazil and Cuba. Inevitably, this led to the Angolan armed forces being heavily equipped with hardware produced in both of these countries. For the Angolan Air Force (AAF), by 1980 this meant that they were flying aircraft such as the Cuban-built Fairchild FF.260WAn Warrior, Brazil’s EMBRAER EMB-326GP/GA/LA armed trainers and EMB-326KP/KA/KAM Xavante single-seat attack jets and EMBRAER-built Dassault Canada Mirage 50AN/DA/RA fighters. While the Mirages conducted fighter, photo-reconnaissance and interdiction missions, the Warriors and Xavante performed CAS, BAI, tactical reconnaissance and FAC. Canadair/GAF Jaguar International (Africa) attack jets were due to enter service in 1981, replacing EMBRAER EMB.91YP fighter-bombers that were originally delivered to the Portuguese colonial forces.
106 EMB.326GPs and KPs were delivered to Portuguese colonial forces between 1965 and 1970, of which 11 GPs and 17 KPs were inherited by the independent AAF in 1975. 14 new EMB.326GA and 26 KA were delivered in 1976, followed by 20 LA and 40 KAM versions in 1977-78.
The LA and KAM models were among the last EMB.326s built before production switched to the EMB.339. Designed for combat, both featured modernised avionics suites with HUD, HOTAS and a new nav/attack system. In addition to unguided bombs, rockets, cluster munitions, gun pods, reconnaissance pods and AIM-9J Sidewinders, the KAM and LA were integrated with GBU.12 Paveway II laser guided bombs. LAs used the AN/AVQ-23E Pave Spike pod for laser targeting and both versions had the Pave Penny laser spot tracker installed. They also carried the ventrally mounted Brazilian made Gradiente Montante chaff/flare dispenser rail.
During Operation Just Defence in July, August and September 1980, Angolan Warrior and Xavante aircrew flew around the clock combat missions. Just Defence was launched in response to the Anzanian-led invasion of Angola and an associated series of uprisings across sub-Saharan Africa. It would prove to be the UN’s last major action in the theatre. With non-African UN ground troops and contractors mostly withdrawn from the continent, Just Defence was distinguished by its massive application of tactical and strategic naval airpower against Anzania and its Red allies. Three months into the Operation, Black Power mutinies in the US military brought Just Defence to a crashing halt, precipitating the Second US Civil War. With the US knocked out of the conflict, Africa's UN-backed governments quickly succumbed to a series of revolutions and Red invasions. Operation Just Defence began on 11 July 1980 in response to the Anzanian-led invasion of Angola that began 2 days earlier.
Based at Lubango/Mukanka (FNUB) Base Aérea No.2, the mixed force of EMB.326KAMs and LAs of 13° Esquadrón de Combate (13° EdC) was tasked with providing CAS, BAI, photo-reconnaissance and FAC in southern Angola and across the border into Namibia. 13° EdC's FAC Flight worked with the air forces of Angola and Nigeria, plus carrier-based aviation from Brazil, Canada and the US to target the Reds. FAC Flight marked targets with Pave Spike and, as seen here, Orenda Scarlett Conqueror 100mm rockets armed with WP warheads fired from Orenda Type 100-4 Paprika Plain 4 round launchers. The Xavante of FAC Flight usually flew in mixed EMB.326KAM and LA pairs during Just Defence. While the FAC Flight of 13° EdC mostly flew in daylight, the AAF provided nocturnal FAC through the auspices of 11° EdC, which had Pave Spot day/night laser targeting equipment installed on its FF.260WAn Warriors.
The aircraft modelled here is depicted as photographed at Lubango/Mukanka (FNUB) Base Aérea No.2 on 15 July 1980. Photographed with the plane was its pilot, Captain Carlos Chaínho. Despite being forced to eject after a Strella SAM strike on 9 August, Captain Chaínho fought on until 23 August. Joining the defenders of Luanda (FNLU) Base Aérea No.1, Chaínho was found unconscious by Angolan Marxist MPLA troops, having been injured by shrapnel and blast concussion. After hospitalisation and serving time as a POW, Chaínho was released in November 1981 and worked as a builders labourer, truck driver and bus driver until retirement.

Comparaison de la montre GPS Garmin Forerunner 405 et de l'application iPhone Runkeeper : A droite, la montre Garmin est lente à localiser le point de départ et ne le fait pas avec précision (1). De plus, la montre Garmin manque de précision en début de trajet : à droite, entre le 1er et 2eme kilomètre le trajet est erroné (2).
A gauche, avec l'application iPhone Runkeeper, le système GPS de l'iPhone est précis des le départ et sur la totalité du trajet.
Avantage de l'application Runkeeper : gratuite ou 8€ la version pro (contre 250€ pour la montre Garmin 405)
Avantage Garmin 405 : le cardiofrequence-metre inclu.
NB : ce petit test a été fait de façon indépendante (et reproductible) ; de plus, je n'ai aucune action chez Runkeeper.
NBbis : test effectué avec l'iPhone 3Gs
NBter : un autre test ou le Garmin 405 s'en sort mieux.
-------------------------------
Comparison between Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS watch and Runkeeper Application for iPhone (the free version of runkeeper app. has been tested here) :
As you can see on the right picture, the garmin GPS watch does not locate accurately the starting position (1) and is not accurate during the beginning of the run, especially from kilometer 1 to 2 (2). On the left picture, tracking of the run with Runkeeper App. is accurate from the start to the end of the run.
A main advantage of Runkeeper App. is it’s free (or 8 € for the pro version) vs. 250€ for the Garmin watch. The only advantage I see about using the Garmin 405 is that it comes with the heart rate monitor so that you can also keep track of your heart beats while running.
NB : This comparison has been made on my own with an iPhone 3Gs. It is reproducible and I have not been hired by Runkeeper to publish it.
NB see another test where Garmin wins
NBbis another update here : Garmin is more accurate
