F-16C Fighting Falcon
Melbourne, Florida, USA.
Two USAF Air Demonstration Squadron F-16Cs (Thunderbirds 5 and 6) perform the calypso pass at the 2017 Melbourne Air and Space show. Thunderbird 5 always performs the inverted part of the calypso pass and generally spends so much time upside down during the show that the number "5" is also inverted so it appears normal in photographs.
I had trouble taming the noise monster on this one as I compensated for very unfavorable light. I should have shot in RAW but wasn't sure the buffer on the D7200 would hold up. Realistically, however, it doesn't take a gazillion shots - just a handful at the exact right time. Still learning as always!

Na manipulačných vlakoch zo Žiliny do Rajca sa pravidelne, už niekoľko rokov, vyskytujú žilinské čmeliaky radov 770/771. Stanice na tejto trati obsluhujú
dva páry manipulačných vlakov. Kým prvý vlak vychádza zo zriaďovacej stanice Žilina - Teplička skoro ráno, a obsluhuje všetky stanice, najmä za účelom nakládky
dreva alebo šrotu, tak druhý vlak vyráža o čosi neskôr, a jeho náplňou je len obsluha koncovej stanice Rajec, kde dopravuje prázdne vozne radov Eas/Eanos
na nakládku dolomitu. Vozne sa po naložení dolomitu a zvážení v stanici Žilina skladajú do cca 20 vozňovej súpravy, ktorá potom vyráža do cieľovej stanice Třinec.
V súčasnosti ale nakládka dolomitu prebieha len veľmi zriedka, a tak Rajeckú dolinu už pravidelne obsluhuje len jeden pár manipulačných vlakov.

On local trains from Žilina to Rajec, locomotives series 770/771 called bumblebees from Žilina depot have been present regularly for several years. Stations on this line serve
two pairs of local trains. While the first train leaves the Žilina - Teplička station early in the morning and serves all stations, especially for loading
wood or scrap, so the second train departs a little later, and its purpose is only to service the terminal station Rajec, where it transports empty wagons of the Eas / Eanos series
for loading dolomite. After loading the dolomite and weighing it at the Žilina station, the wagons are folded into about 20 wagon sets, which then set off to the destination station Třinec.
At present, however, the loading of dolomite is very rare, so Rajec valley is regularly serviced by only one pair of local trains.
