After seeing the new LEGO pilot helmet today I thought I should get this out before it gets over shadowed. :(

The roof was replaced on this building quite a few years ago, I wish that the other harbour buildings were stabilised, in the 20 years I have lived on the north coast the harbour and it's related buildings are steadily deteriorating.

We had stopped at a static aircraft display in Summerside, PEI, and as impressive enough as this Argus Maritime Patrol Aircraft was, a short older fellow standing underneath it (and getting in the way of my photo), was even more so. It turned out he was a pilot who had flown the aircraft and enthusiastically shared a fascinating personal account. He told me about the crew of 15, the onboard bunks for rest breaks, the cabin furnace, kitchen complete with oven and coffee machine, the extended patrols lasting 18 hours or more without aerial refueling, 3600 kg loads consisting of bombs, mines, spare parts, and torpedoes. His typical flights would start out late on a Monday afternoon with a mission plan and he finally returned home after debriefing on Wednesday morning. They could fly 1000 miles out to sea, remain on task for eight hours, and return to base with enough fuel to divert for another 500 miles. The four 18 cylinder engines would tick over at just 1600 RPM at cruising speed.
After talking with him, the static display on a cloudless blue sky didn't really seem to do the image any justice. Consequently, with a little back and forth between my computer and an iPhone app, I came up with this composite.
Addendum: Since posting this, I found a newspaper clipping detailing the loss of one aircraft at Summerside. Apparently, they were returning for an emergency landing with one engine out. The weather was stormy with high winds, thunder and lightning, and as they came in, a gust lifted one wing, which dipped the other into a snowbank. They were headed right for the tower and school behind it when the pilot was able to turn enough to avoid it but crashed down the runway. Three crew perished but thirteen survived.

Quick test shot. Sneak peek. I put him in Volks pilot outfit. Would you ride in his plane if he was the pilot? Captain is Kumo （F38) XD

Wasn't feeling the whole Christmas thing this year so distracted myself with a few of my favourite things; aviation trinkets and my camera.

Hiking the "Heartland" yesterday before the big winds and cold front! Autumn will now change to a more stark appearance due to 35 to 45 mph wind gusts last night and today!
I enjoy autumn colors so much, and start to "pout" like a four year old when I know it's coming to an end! :(

September 13, 2020: Pilot sits in T-33 Shooting Star at the Joe Davies Heritage Airpark in Palmdale, Califonia. The City of Palmdale park has over 20 aircraft on display, including a Boeing 747 used to transport the Space Shuttle. Due to Covid-19, Joe Davies Heritage Park currently has limited hours. The website lists hours of Saturday and Sunday 8 am to 1 pm, but only if a volunteer is available to open the facility. The morning I went, I lucked out. A volunteer arrived to open the gate.

INNSBRUCK FLUGHAFENFEST 2019
L’eau est à la source du pays. Le quotidien de la majorité des Cambodgiens en dépend. La fête qui lui est consacrée chaque année témoigne du caractère sacré qu’on lui accorde. La mousson tropicale, le puissant Mékong, mais avant tout le gigantisme du lac Tonlé Sap rythment la vie du pays. La crue annuelle du Mékong multiplie la superficie du Tonle Sap par six. La pêche bien évidemment mais aussi l’agriculture sont favorisées par cette ressource abondante.
Les populations ont appris à s’adapter à ce milieu exceptionnellement foisonnant en développant un mode de vie au contact de la nature. Les Khmers mais aussi de nombreuses minorités ont fait le choix de construire leur habitat sur ces eaux prolifiques. Il peut prendre la forme de maisons littéralement flottantes posé[e]s sur pilotis. Généralement de style très modeste, ces maisons font partie intégrante de véritables villages sur l’eau. On y trouve des écoles, des commerces mais aussi des lieux de culte insolites. C’est toute une société avec ses codes propres qui s‘y est développée dans une atmosphère au charme singulier.
