Of the many from Wheeler who were to perform heroically, there and later in Air Force careers, Lieutenants George S. Welch, Kenneth A. Taylor
Welch and Taylor, back in the club, also had the idea the Navy was out on maneuvers until they saw live bombs being dropped, explosions and fire. Running up to the closest telephone, Welch placed a rush call to Haleiwa where the outfit’s P-40s were sitting unarmed. The reply was long in coming, but when someone answered he was promptly directed to load several of the P-40s, particular “mine and Taylor’s.” Then five officers hopped into vehicles and sped for the airfield 10 miles away. They were Lieutenants Harry M. Brown, Robert J. Rogers, John J. Webster, Welch and Taylor. Crewmen worked fast putting in ammunition and carrying out last minute servicing. The pilots raced down the winding road past pineapple and sugar plantations for the normally placid beach playgrounds of Haleiwa.
Arriving at Haleiwa’s flight line, the five pilots climbed into their pursuits after checking to make sure they were armed. Without knowledge of type or number of attacking enemy planes, they proceeded on their own initiative against the heat of the attack, in the vicinity of Barber’s Point. They were airborne by 8:15 a.m. Welch and Taylor observed a formation of 12 planes over Ewa, about 1,000 feet below and 10 miles away. The two paired off. Beginning to fire at one of the enemy, Welch discovered one of his guns had become jammed. Quickly, he pulled into the clearing above the clouds, checked his craft then returned to the scene of action over Barber’s Point. Seeing a Japanese plane heading for the sea, he pursued and shot at it until it fell into the ocean. Taylor shot down two planes. No more in sight, the pair proceeded to Wheeler Field for fueling, more ammunition and back into battle. Arriving at home base, Welch laughed at his uniform. He was still wearing Tuxedo trousers. Lieutenant Brown, caught amongst a host of enemy planes, began to shoot his way out. He sent one plane careening into the ocean just off Kahuku Point.
Four P-40s and two P-36s got off from Wheeler 35 minutes after the initial attack and during the next hour flew 25 sorties.
CHATSWORTH - A prompt call to 9-1-1 from a passerby brought the Los Angeles City Fire Department and allied agencies to quickly conquer a small non-injury brush fire in the 11500 block of North Topanga Canyon Boulevard on September 29, 2020.

What's Prompt Dog's favorite command? Why, dig of course, Dog loves nothing more than rooting up IP addresses and bringing them to his master!
An intelligence warning in 1948 prompted the U.S. Air Force to hurriedly develop an all-weather interceptor. Starting with the basic airframe of its F-86A, North American incorporated two unprecedented concepts into the F-86D (initially designated the F-95). First, a highly sophisticated electronic system replaced the second crewmember carried by other interceptors of the time. Second, the F-86D became the first production single-seat fighter to which air-to-air missiles replaced the classic gun armament.
With its air intake reshaped to make room for the enclosed radar, the F-86D -- nicknamed "Sabre Dog" -- presented a distinctive profile. The interception radar (from Hughes Aircraft Co.) and associated fire-control computed the target's position, guided the aircraft on an intercept course to within 500 yards of the target, lowered the retractable tray of 24 rockets, and fired the rockets automatically. The effect of these weapons would have been devastating to an enemy bomber because each 2.75-inch Mighty Mouse folding fin aircraft rocket (FFAR) contained the power of a 75mm artillery shell. The first prototype (YF-86D) flew on Dec. 22, 1949, and North American delivered 2,506 F-86Ds before production ended in September 1953. Although the U.S. Air Force had phased out its F-86D by June 1961, Japan and other nations continued flying them.
The aircraft on display came to the museum in August 1957. It is marked as an F-86D assigned to the 97th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, during the mid-1950s.

Please allow me to try something new. Here's the prompt, at least that I started with - I lost my changes. This same prompt, with some adjusting was also used for the previous round of uploads that look similar.
Please let me know what you think. Image invites are welcomed. Comments and favs are appreciated.

On the tag I put a print of a drawing I did a couple years ago..printed out from another bigger journal. Back then I was very sad and hibernating, and I wanted this page to say, "that girl is now getting out and seeing things!"
This seen prompted me to rite a story about pigs. My inglish isant the best butt I will get it betta soon.
John said he mite no wear the wild pigs arrh. Aisle ask him if they boar a resemblance to those he sore near the rode. Their was a small heard of sheep in the field, and the bores chased after for of them. They then went towards the hey stack at the farm. The farmer said he would sought them out and John was to stay at holme. John said that one of them boar a resemblance to his aren't but the farmer told him not to bee so rood. He told John he was band from the yard and that if he soar any more he should let him no. Later, John had to flea for his life when one of the boors, witch he’d scene earlier, came strait at him. There was a whole in a peace of the fence and as he ran towards it the pig beet him to it. The pig butted him and he was throne through a brake in the hedge but escaped. He put up a small bored to fill the gap and tide it to the fence post. He wanted to pier over the hedge but had to paws for a minute to get his breath back. He tried to wring his mum but then scent her a text message to say he was coming holme and joined the cue for the bus. By the time he got home it was pawing with reign and he had to weight for his mum to let him in the house. After tee he felt much better, especially after having a strawberry moose for pudding. He decided not to go down that rowed again until it was safe.

The Scrap Man Cometh ...
Prompted by a picture taken by Marcus in his 'Pile of Memories' picture, see-

I couldn't believe that the appeared to be clearance underway unless there was a potential for re-use... so maybe this bad news will be followed by good, rail-connected use... The top left shows a similar picture to the one above, that taken in glum weather in early February and this one, yesterday in sparkling spring weather and looking more along the length of the reception sidings at the south-eastern approach. And its all clear to see, the stuff which had been piled up in the earlier picture has now been largely removed and one of the skips for this purpose can be seen almost full, it to ready to be carted away; it contains the last metal remnant of the over-head floodlights which once festooned the place so that work in the yard could continue in the hours of darkness; what a different world this was! On the right, the concrete slab remains where once stood the Tinsley Power Box, see-

burned out in 2010 just after it was taken out of use. You may note that the only signal left, with its shunt signal underneath the main head, can still be seen alongside the south-east bound exit line from the yard to, the now non-existent, Treeton north and south junctions. More alarming still, at top right, looking the other way to the north-west, the Tinsley Control Tower a grade II listed structure looks to be in the process of being demolished; has the listing been ignored, removed, who knows, or is the listing _just_ applicable to the Tower, whatever is going on, it doesn't look good. At centre a three-part panorama shows the view over just about the whole site to the northwest of Wood Lane bridge; the photograph taken from the vegetation infested north-east embankment. The last vestige of the once great Tinsley YArd, the largest Dowty-automated hump shunting yard in Europe in the late 60s and early 70s, can be seen at the far right alongside the 'empty for 6 years' aircraft hangar-like buildings which are now the home of Marks & Spencer Distribution, one supposes; and of course, that's distribution by road, they clearly haven't looked out of the window to the right, but then I notice, there aren't any windows to see out of, bit like walking around with your eyes shit and complaining that you are missing something! To the left, dwarfed in this modern-day drama of storage gone mad, is the unprepossessing 1960s structure that is the Tinsley Yard Control Tower in all its reinforced concrete glory and to its right, the ancillary buildings associated with it are coming down; half have gone and I can't see the rest will be there for much than a couple of days. In the background, the site of the old Sheffield Airport, now under vast re-development whilst in its foreground new office buildings of 'Sig' and HSBC. In the fore of the main picture, the rusting lines leading south-east to the receptions sidings with the only 'shiny bits' now being those two short sections of lines coming out through the gates in front of the M&S building at right, where the Bardon Aggregates loco runs round to take its wagons back to Bardon or Cotton Hill for a fresh supply of material for Amey's Aggregates Processing plant beyond the MArks & Spencer building. Just in case, the lower picture shows the state of the Tower, with its control panel skeleton on the top floor.
Strawberry Bokeh. Terri's gorgeous photo of her grapefruit bokeh made me want to try for some fruit bokeh of my own.
I struggled a bit with this one as I had no clear idea of what I'd do. In fact, I nearly started all over again but with a few additions, I think it looks okay now. Unfortunately, though, the tear drop does look rather like a onion! Lol! They make you cry though, don't they!
I used acrylic paints, pitt pens, white gel pens, gesso, chalk inks and stamps. I also cut out out the tear shape and stuck it on.
This prompt was a good reminder to take my focus off the ground or my phone when I walk, and look up. I get to see some amazing architectural feats when I’m downtown Louisville, and I tend to pass them off. This building is where I have my day job. The street right outside is covered by a glass ceiling – making it nice to enjoy the outdoors without getting rained on. Most times when I take a moment to look up, I’m pleasantly surprised. You should, too.
As per the name of the album I'm putting this in, I felt this was a great "writing prompt" photo. In English/Language Arts classes (at least in elementary and middle school), students are sometimes given a "writing prompt" - a picture that inspires them to write a story about it. Over the years, I have taken a number of photos that I thought would make great writing prompts. This is one of them. I finally decided to create an album of my "writing prompt" pictures.
Regarding this photo, I was driving to work one day, and as I was turning off my street onto a main road, I noticed this bouquet of flowers lying in the road, off to the side. I wasn't able to stop to photograph them, as much as I wanted to. There just wasn't time. When I came home from work, I looked to see if they were still there. They were. So, I was able to get the shot.
Write your own story.

The prompt was "vices." I took a photo of a shot of whisky. Actually, not real whisky. Martinelli's sparkling apple cider. The model is my 14-year-old daughter. Settle down.

Got bored... it was raining on our way home from the Mt. Fuji climb.
When we passed into a tunnel, I took my camera and clicked.
I forgot to turn the autofocus "ON" and these tiny bokehs from the droplets were formed.
It really looks like green DOS prompt (the usual thing i see when compiling BIOS codes, and i'll surely miss it!). Geeky? LOL!
