The Harrier, informally referred to as the Jump Jet, is a family of military jet aircraft capable of vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) operations.
Historically the Harrier was developed in Britain to operate from ad-hoc facilities such as car parks or forest clearings, avoiding the need for large air bases vulnerable to tactical nuclear weapons. Later the design was adapted for use from aircraft carriers.
The Harrier is also distinct as being of the modern era, yet subsonic, contrasting with most of the major Western post-World War II-era attack aircraft, which tend to be supersonic.
The Vought F4U Corsair was a carrier-capable fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War.
The Corsair served in the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marines and the U.S. navy., Fleet Air Arm, quickly becoming the most capable carrier-based fighter-bomber of World War II.
Some Japanese pilots reportedly regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II, and the U.S. Navy counted an 11:1 kill ratio with the F4U Corsair.
As well as being an outstanding fighter, the Corsair proved to be an excellent fighter-bomber, serving almost exclusively in the latter role throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria.
The National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle (VA) is situated on a 135-acre site adjacent to the Marine Corps Base at Quantico, and is under the command of the Marine Corps University.
The Museum's exterior design evokes the image of the flag-raisers of Iwo Jima, and beckons visitors to its 120,000-square-foot structure.

At Alpine Dam, Mount Tamalpais, Marin County. I assume this is a water pipeline, part of Marin Municipal Water District infrastructure on Mount Tam. Extra detail: Taken Dec. 1, 2010, on our 25th wedding anniversary. We hiked late in the afternoon, then drove across the ridge down to Stinson Beach, where he had dinner at the Parkside Cafe. The dog was with us, but had to wait in the car while we celebrated.

Photography from a flight over the North American prairies: the journey was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan into the province of Alberta. A snow-covered landscape shows an interplay of light and shadows.
The new embassy is the largest ever constructed by an Australian Government and reflects the depth of the relationship between Australia and Indonesia. The new complex in Patra Kuningan, Jakarta Selatan, which includes a five-storey Chancery, accommodation for some Embassy staff, and a recreation and medical centre covers more than 50,000 square metres. The embassy complex was built by Indonesian company Total Bangun Persada in partnership with Leighton (Asia) and continues to make a positive contribution to the local economy. During construction up to 2,500 local workers were employed on the site. The Australian Government is also undertaking upgrades to infrastructure in the local neighbourhood.

Had my first trip on the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway this morning. This is the view from the (dirty) rear window near Addenbrookes Hospital.
At the bottom of this photo, I see an object blocking the track on the right side. The track should be inactive. The yellow vehicle ahead is abandoned?
There is no blocker on the next track, but weeds growing on the track may mean it is also inactive.
The object with roof at the left edge of this photo is the platform of Hama-kawasaki Station of Nanbu Branch Line.
Rail-borne construction equipment is parked near a staging area, visible below, at Leavitt.
This work focused on track tie replacement on the Milwaukee Elevated, which opened in 1895.

This was taken in Peshastin to show that not only is the American Infrastructure outdated, but considering that there was a major wreck here in the last century, and now it's also hailing oil trains, I figured I'd better document it.
