The C-17 carries forward the name of two previous piston-engined military cargo aircraft, the Douglas C-74 Globemaster and the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II.

The defining feature of lager beer is its maturation in cold storage, it is also distinguished by the use of bottom-fermenting lager yeast. While it is possible to use lager yeast in a warm fermentation process such as with American steam beer, the lack of a cold storage maturation phase precludes such beer from being classified as lager beer.

I put in 10 years of maintenance on this airframe. Some of the most rewarding due to the payoff of hard work put in and then seeing it take off in a roaring thunder. — in Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.

This is what we do when we don't have any customers at our stand! lol

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (F/A designation for Fighter/Attack). Designed by McDonnell Douglas and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations. The U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, has used the Hornet since 1986.

"For the first five years after the bombing, a simple chain link fence surrounded the Murrah Building site, and from the earliest hours of the rescue and recovery operations, visitors posted messages and personal items on the fence. It became such a tradition to “visit the fence” in Oklahoma City that sections of the original fence were incorporated in the permanent Memorial, and guests still leave their convention nametags or hastily scrawled notes of hope there."

Spending time viewing DC

Another from my cousins wedding that I had the joy of being able to take photos at.

San Felipe de Neri Parish in "Old Town" Albuquerque. The church was built in 1793.

This couple was walking along Siesta Key Beach in Florida.

Malta's location as a naval base has given it great strategic importance throughout history, and a succession of powers, including the Phoenicians, Romans, Moorish, Normans, Sicilians, Habsburg Spain, Knights of St. John, French and the British, have ruled the islands. Malta gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1964 and became a republic in 1974. Malta was admitted to the United Nations in 1964 and to the European Union in 2004; in 2008, it became part of the Eurozone.

Always a memorable moment.

Took this on my visit to Santa Fe, NM. A fun little city.

Beautiful fountain at the parks entrance.

More from the beautiful Canary Islands of Spain

Officially the Republic of Malta is a southern European island country comprising an archipelago of seven islands in the Mediterranean Sea. It lies 80 km (50 mi) south of Sicily, 284 km (176 mi) east of Tunisia, and 333 km (207 mi) north of Libya. The country covers just over 316 km2 (122 sq mi), making it one of the world's smallest and most densely populated countries. The capital of Malta is Valletta, which is also, at 0.8 km, the smallest capital in the European Union. Malta has two official languages: Maltese and English.

One of the many beautiful flowers found on the Riverwalk.

The highways are loaded with the wild colors of spring.

Underneath the Cadiz Cathedral there is this large crypt with many tunnels and statues.

Some street art I pass by during my travels.

No tires? No problem.

From my vacation touring the French Riviera.

The statue across from the National Memorial in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Across the street from the 9:03 gate is a sculpture of Jesus weeping erected by St. Joseph's Catholic Church, one of the first brick-and-mortar churches built in the city. Jesus faces away from the devastation, covering his face with his hand. In front of Jesus is a wall with 168 gaps in it, representing the voids left by each life lost.

Some street art I find during my travels.

Texas is known for getting its share of hail storms. This is one of them moving in on us and was incredible looking at sunset. The reflection was from a white work van, taken with my iPhone.
