4 1/2 x 6 color postcard signed in black felt tip ink by Jugderdemidiin Gurragchaa, the first Mongolian astronaut.
Jugderdemidiin Gurragcha (born Dec. 5, 1947, Gurvan-Bulak, Mong.) was the first Mongolian and second Asian to go into space. Gurragcha studied aerospace engineering at the Zhukovsky Military Engineering Academy in Ulan Bator (now Ulaanbaatar), graduating in 1977. He joined the Mongolian Air Force as an aeronautical engineer and rose to the rank of major general. In March 1978 he was selected to participate in the Soviet Union’s eighth international Intercosmos mission. His first and only space mission was as a researcher on the Soyuz 39 mission. On March 22, 1981, he and Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov were launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. He spent nearly eight days in space, carrying out scientific experiments on the Soviet space station Salyut 6. Gurragcha left the space program on March 30, 1981, and was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. He later became chief of staff of air defense for the Mongolian Armed Forces. From 2000 to 2004 he served as minister of defense.
Jügderdemidiin Gürragchaa is an astronaut from Mongolia affiliated with the government agency Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS), embarked on 1 space flights and engaging in 0 spacewalk(s) during his/her career as an astronaut.
Jügderdemidiin Gürragchaa, born 5 December 1947) was the first Mongolian in space.
He was selected as part of the eighth Intercosmos program on 1 March 1978, at time he was in the rank of Major General. His backup was Maidarjavyn Ganzorig. Gürragchaa, along with Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov, departed from Baikonur Cosmodrome on 22 March 1981. They docked with Salyut 6.
While in orbit, Dzhanibekov and Gürragchaa carried out experiments on earth science. After 124 orbits and 7 days, 20 hours and 42 minutes in space, Gürragchaa and Dzhanibekov landed 170 km southeast of Dzhezkasgan.

Vladimir Dzhanibekov is an astronaut from Russia affiliated with the government agency Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS), embarked on 5 space flights and engaging in 2 spacewalk(s) during his/her career as an astronaut.
Vladimir Aleksandrovich Dzhanibekov (Russian: Владимир Александрович Джанибеков, born 13 May 1942) is a former cosmonaut who made five flights.
Dzhanibekov made five flights: Soyuz 27, Soyuz 39, Soyuz T-6, Soyuz T-12 and Soyuz T-13. In all he had spent 145 days, 15 hours and 56 minutes in space over these five missions. He had also performed two EVAs with a total time of 8 hours and 35 minutes. In 1985 he noted the effects of the tennis racket theorem, subsequently also called the Dzhanibekov effect, by showing that an object's second principal axis is unstable while in free-fall rotation.

What a treat! I didn't expect to see this iconic aircraft in flight again but yesterday afternoon the last remaining airworthy (but not for much longer!) Vulcan bomber XH558 flew over the house a few times. I guess that really will be one of its last ever flights as I gather it is due to be decommissioned at the end of this month (which is not far away!)
Now this sky needs to stay clear for the lunar eclipse later.................

Palm Springs, CA - One of my favorite past times is photo-hunting while waiting for my flight at an airport. For a small airport Palms Springs International has a lot of character and interesting architecture.
I'm sure why it was there but it looks like that hanging stuffed animal is a Pokemon character. Possibly a good luck charm?

Los Angeles, CA - Visiting Los Angeles after living their for about 17 years was odd, crazy and surreal. So many People. It was a lot of fun but I was glad to get back home.
Taking pictures through glass is a challenge, especially all those finger prints and nose smuggles created by curious kids and inquisitive Dads.
Stealth, speed, and sheer elegance—the iconic Lockheed M-21 with its D-21 drone sits on display at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Capturing this legendary aircraft required a bit of creativity—a handheld HDR shot to bring out every shadow and highlight in this dramatic setting. The play of light and reflections on its sleek surface is a tribute to its groundbreaking design.
The M-21 was developed as a launch platform for the D-21 reconnaissance drone during the 1960s, a testament to aviation engineering and innovation. Walking into this exhibit felt like stepping into a time capsule of Cold War ingenuity.
Have you had a chance to visit this incredible museum? What are your favorite aircraft exhibits? Share your thoughts in the comments!
