SR-71A #61-7972 is on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. From 1991 until September 2003, #972 was in storage at Washington Dulles International Airport in a building specifically constructed for this aircraft. There, it was under strict surveillance by National Air and Space Museum representatives, who regularly adjusted humidity levels to ensure the best possible preservation conditions. This aircraft is no doubt the best-looking of the remaining SR-71s, along with SR-71A #976.
This aircraft holds many records that were set on 6 March 1990, when it was flown from Palmdale to Dulles in what was intended to be the last USAF flight of the SR-71. It also holds the New York to London record of 1 hour, 54 minutes, 56.4 seconds set in 1974. You may have noted the Skunk Works insignia on the rudders of #972. After SR-71A #955's last flight on 24 January 1985, #972 became the Palmdale test aircraft. This aircraft's assembly started 13 December 1965 and was rolled out on 15 September 1966.

The United States Capitol is the meeting place of the United States Congress, the legislature of the federal government of the United States. Located in Washington, D.C., it sits atop Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall. Though it has never been the geographic center of the federal district, the Capitol is the origin by which both the quadrants of the District are divided and the city was planned. Officially, both the east and west sides of the Capitol are referred to as "fronts." Historically, however, only the east front of the building was intended for the arrival of visitors and dignitaries.
Many homes in Georgetown were already decorated for Halloween in early October, some with a wreath on the door and a few pumpkins on the steps. And then there was THIS house.

MEANING OF THIS PAINTING:
the state of the union in the age of the global covid 19 pandemic is sorely lacking direction . our union needed to be prepared to act swiftly, but aside from a few other countries, this was not so. it is said "we are all in this together", but alas, this is not how many in our union are acting. if we do not act together we will have no union left when we reach the other side.

Alzando la bandera en Iwo Jima (en inglés Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima) es el nombre de una fotografía histórica tomada el día 23 de febrero de 1945 por el fotógrafo Joe Rosenthal en la isla de Iwo Jima, Japón. La fotografía muestra a cinco marines de los Estados Unidos y un médico de la Armada alzando la bandera estadounidense en el monte Suribachi durante la batalla de Iwo Jima de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
La fotografía llegó a ser muy popular y fue reimpresa muchas veces, llegando su autor a obtener el premio Pulitzer de fotografía. Está considerada como la instantánea de guerra más importante de la historia y una de las fotografías más reproducidas del mundo.
De los seis hombres que aparecen en la fotografía, tres (Franklin Sousley, Harlon Block y Michael Strank) cayeron en combate, mientras que los tres supervivientes (John Bradley, Rene Gagnon e Ira Hayes) se convirtieron en celebridades debido al uso propagandístico de guerra que se realizó con su aparición en la fotografía. La imagen fue utilizada posteriormente por Felix de Weldon para esculpir el Memorial de Guerra del Cuerpo de Marines de Estados Unidos, situado junto al Cementerio Nacional de Arlington, a las afueras de Washington, D.C.

SpaceShipOne was a suborbital air-launched spaceplane that completed the first manned private spaceflight in 2004. That same year, it won the US$10 million Ansari X Prize and was immediately retired from active service. Its mothership was named "White Knight". Both craft were developed and flown by Mojave Aerospace Ventures, which was a joint venture between Paul Allen and Scaled Composites, Burt Rutan's aviation company. Allen provided the funding of approximately US$25 million.
Rutan has indicated that ideas about the project began as early as 1994 and the full-time development cycle time to the 2004 accomplishments was about three years. The vehicle first achieved supersonic flight on December 17, 2003, which was also the one-hundredth anniversary of the Wright Brothers' historic first powered flight. SpaceShipOne's first official spaceflight, known as flight 15P, was piloted by Mike Melvill. A few days before that flight, the Mojave Air and Space Port was licensed as the USA's first commercial spaceport. A few hours after that flight, Melvill became the first licensed U.S. commercial astronaut. The overall project name was "Tier One" which has evolved into Tier 1b with a goal of taking a successor ship's first passengers into space within the next few years.

This is Gilly, my brother and sister-in-law's dog - a miniature Australian shepherd. She's not like any other sheep dog I've known, and has to be the most lovable and cuddly dog in the world. If I didn't know she was a dog, and by the way she lounges on you like a tree branch, I'd think she was a Koala.

The Pratt & Whitney J58 (company designation JT11D) was a jet engine used on the Lockheed A-12, and subsequently on the YF-12 and SR-71 Blackbird aircraft. The J58 was a variable cycle engine which functioned as both a turbojet and a fan-assisted ramjet. The J58 was a single-spool turbojet engine with an afterburner.
Bypass jet engines were rare at the time, but Ben Rich later described the engine as "bypass jet engine by air withdrawal"
