A rare and stylish ACJ is seen parked at Fortaleza airport... with the dusk sky at the background in a complete blue hue. Very beautiful scene. The scheme in this ACJ is beyond amazing!

Very exotic bird in Fortaleza! Really stunning livery for this ACJ! This one arrived in Oct 23rd and was chartered by some rich folks to spend some days visiting Ceará state. Arrived under callsign "Mike Romeo Bravo Uniform Sierra", from Moscow Vnukovo via Tenerife, and is seen pushing back for a flight to Newark, USA. Surely an amazing scheme, and also a very funny registration! :D

Closing up this nice looking business jet: the ACJ of Russian tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov. This same plane visited us in 2016 and also in 2017. Very elegant livery for this VIP bird!
I've tried some wicked effects and different crop for this, and I really like the result. Would be better if it was a BBJ instead of ACJ, by the way... lol

'Nancy-Bird Walton' as QANTAS 1 racing down 34L Sydney Airport (SYD/YSSY) to London Heathrow (LHR/EGLL) via Dubai (DXB/OMDB) racing a canoeist in the Bay..
This image looks at the rear two-thirds of a Krivak I-class (Project 1135 Burevestnik (Storm Petrel in English)) frigate of the Soviet Navy in the northern North Sea in the middle of July 1985.
The frigate, Bodryy (Brisk in English), was the second unit of the class to be built (and the first in Kaliningrad) and was commissioned in 1971. The class were primarily intended for anti-submarine warfare, with only limited anti-air and anti-surface capabilities. Some 21 were built for the Soviet Navy and were followed by 11 of the modified Krivak II class. Bodryy was decommissioned in 1997.
The Krivak Is were 123.5m in length, had a beam of 14.1m and a draught of 4.6m. Powered by four gas turbines in a COGAG arrangement, they could reach 32 kts. There were some 200 men in the crew.
Notable equipments seen above include the variable-depth sonar housing on the stern, two 76.2mm guns and then the housing for one of the two Osa-MA SAM systems (SA-N-4 Gecko in NATO terminology) just behind the funnel. Forward of the funnel is the Owl Screech fire-control radar for the guns and then the MPZ-301 (NATO: Pop Group) fire-control radar for the SA-N-4 SAM. Forward of that on the main deck is one of the two sets of quadruple trainable 533mm torpedo tubes. On the forward superstructure, the highest radar is the Head Net-C air-search radar and just forward of that is a Palm Frond navigation radar. Forward of that is a pair of Drakon (NATO: Eye Bowl radar directors for the URPK-5 (NATO: SS-N-14 Silex) anti-submarine missiles, and another Pop Group for the forward SA-N-4. Finally, two RBU-6000 ASW rocket launchers can be seen on the far right of the image.
At the time of the image Bodryy was participating in the Soviet Navy's last major exercise, Summerex 85. She had escorted a group of amphibious ships out of the Baltic and they were proceeding north. They would eventually round North Cape and the amphibious units conducting a landing on the Kola Peninsula. We (in HMS Boxer) shadowed them through most of that.
In total, some 80 ships and submarines from the Soviets’ Northern, Baltic, and Black Sea fleets were reported to be involved in the exercise. NATO said the Soviet ships were being observed by some 40 ships and submarines, including 17 Royal Navy vessels, as well as by aircraft of various nations.

Yes, it's true. This is Burgas in 1990. Today we have a law in the Czech republic: The promotion of Communism and Fascism is forbidden. It's shit! Crap!
Who says they are promoting communism? Everybody lies!
Only history is displayed on this historical photo. In 1990, capitalism and fascism were still in one bowl. Here is comunism. A year later, fascism and communism were at the same expense.
And children? How do they know? And humanity? Should we not have more responsibility?
