Mono Lake California
Photographer - Sue Harrison
Mono Lake (/ˈmoʊnoʊ/ MOH-noh) is a large, shallow saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in an endorheic basin. The lack of an outlet causes high levels of salts to accumulate in the lake. These salts also make the lake water alkaline.
This desert lake has an unusually productive ecosystem based on brine shrimp that thrive in its waters, and provides critical habitat for two million annual migratory birds that feed on the shrimp and alkali flies. Historically, the native Kutzadika'a people derived nutrition from the Ephydra hians pupae, which live in the shallow waters around the edge of the lake.
When the city of Los Angeles diverted water from the freshwater streams flowing into the lake, it lowered the lake level, which imperiled the migratory birds.

Before this makeover, the aircraft was painted with the scheme and markings of the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing, a unit at Bitburg Air Base, Germany, to which the aircraft was assigned in July 1977. Given this opportunity, IWM Duxford personnel decided they wanted to go with a different paint scheme from the aircraft's lineage. The aircraft now bears the markings of the "Spittin' Kittens", the nickname for the 5th Fighter Intercept Squadron to which the aircraft was assigned in December 1981.
The F-15 will now be on permanent display outside the American Air Museum - the only memorial museum outside of the United States. The museum stands in remembrance of the 30,000 U.S. Airmen who lost their lives flying from British shores during World II.
