After the end of World War II, the general aviation market returned to prominence, and grew--now there were thousands of former pilots who might enjoy an aircraft of their own. The war had also opened up Alaska and the more remote areas of Canada; "bush" pilots needed a good, reliable light aircraft that could land in all conditions, on very short runways.
Two aircraft designers, Otto Koppen and Lynn Bollinger, founded the Koppen-Bollinger Aircraft Company in 1948, for the express purpose of building a short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft. The company's name was changed to the easier to market Helio name a few years later. Koppen's idea was a modified Piper PA-17, with a taller tail, larger flaps, and leading-edge wing slats, which would give his design superb STOL capability. For more cargo space, the fuselage was lengthened. With the final addition of a much more powerful engine, Koppen named his design the Heliopolis. It first flew in 1949. By the time production began in 1954, it had been renamed the Helio Courier. The Courier immediately found sales in the bush pilot community, and among missionaries in South America.
The USAF was interested as well. The Korean War proved that there was a need for aircraft that could operate away from airfields, in often very small landing zones. Though helicopters were coming into their own, the USAF still bought 120 L-28As as light transports; these could carry cargo and passengers, or evacuate casualties. With a stall speed of only 28 mph, it could drop into areas no other fixed-wing aircraft could reach. In 1962, the L-28 was designated U-10, though it kept the Courier name.
By the time the United States began to get involved in the Vietnam War, the USAF and US Army were both operating the U-10D Super Courier, a version with an uprated engine and longer range. Their short field landing capability was very valuable in Southeast Asia, and U-10s were not only used as light transports and liasion aircraft, but also as psychological warfare aircraft--the latter dropped leaflets and were equipped with speakers. The speakers could exhort Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers to defect, or demoralize them with Buddhist funeral dirges and terrifying ghost noises, usually played at earsplitting volume. The U-10 was very vulnerable to ground fire, but it could be used in low threat areas. A few were used in Laos as forward air control (FAC) aircraft, often by the CIA's "airline," Air America.
Though production of the Courier ended in the early 1980s, the aircraft remains popular with bush pilots. The USAF and Army retired their Couriers not long after the end of the Vietnam War, and a few of these have made their way into the hands of collectors as warbirds. Roughly 500 were built.
Three former USAF U-10s are known to be in museums. This aircraft, 66-4360, served with the USAF in Vietnam. It was retired in 1976 and passed to the USDA, which used it as an insecticide sprayer in Texas. When the USDA in turn retired 66-4360 in 1981, it was acquired by the National Museum of the USAF and restored back to its USAF Southeast Asia colors, though with a different tail number of an aircraft assigned to the 14th Air Commando Wing, based at Nha Trang, South Vietnam.
I initially had this listed as a Pilatus AU-23A Peacemaker counterinsurgency aircraft; I should've checked the NMUSAF's registry and realized they don't have any on display. I apologize for the error!
Using Apple's remote app for the iPhone I can now control the audio and video in the home using the phone. In the kitchen but the kids want a new movie upstairs... not an issue. Having a party and want to switch up the music... just do it!
I still have to keep the Harmony around as the remote app doesn't launch Boxee.

New TV so new remote, my previous Sony had numbers on bottom half so still getting familiar with this one.
My second iPod "Remote + Earphones" pak. My old remote is okey, but the old earphones are borken, and so are the original earphones that went along when I bought my iPod...

Two days ago we moved from a big quiet 4br house way out on Long Island into a tiny 1br apartment closer to NYC for a few months. Doesn't sound like much fun, but on the plus side there are some *pretty* decent views, which are even better from the roof of the place. So I went up there tonight and took some shots of the Empire State, the skyline, the Queensboro bridge, the subway, the traffic, and of course the trains. Mike Johannessen showed me his panning setup a year or two ago and although I don't have the gear, I thought I'd steal the idea on a few trains coming out of the East River tunnels and heading out onto Long Island or to Sunnyside for turning and stabling. Result: a few wobbly, dark, bad pics. Then this guy showed up - maybe he was transitioning from third rail to onboard diesel power because his pickup shoe made a big flash before he came slowly into view. Then he flashed just as I pushed the shutter which lit up the dark loco and everything - wow - did I get that? I like taking remote flash pictures, but this was the remotest one ever. Handheld 1 sec at f 3.2 ISO 160 200mm if you're taking notes!

Best Christmas ever. I so loved that mechanical toy. His head would flip open to shoot missiles, while ping-pong balls would erupt out of his shoulders. His eyes would spin in their sockets. I spent hours digging around his innards, exploring all the gears, pulleys and other mechanisms.
This is a home made remote for my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTI. The black button sets the focus and exposure, the red button fires the shutter and the toggle works the shutter in bulb mode. It seems there are still uses for film canisters even in the digital age.
When flying I usually book the window seat. Although I am pretty tall I always prefer to squeeze into the window seat in order to enjoy the view outside. While for the most time this is rather boring, sometimes it all fits. Nice soft light and amazing landscape patterns.
This place below is somewhere in the middle of Newfoundland, Canada on a flight to Newark. It's so remote that I could not even find a street close by. So I wonder how many humans have ever visited this place.

TV will never be a serious competitor for radio because people must sit and keep their eyes glued on a screen; the average American family hasn’t time for it. ~Author Unknown, from New York Times, 1939
WTF ?
Evidence of ancient forest, middle o' nowhere.
I find these all of huge old tree roots in high, remote places quite fascinating. Scotland was a richer place when these lived.
so i needed some stuff like a screen protector and remote.. found these on dealextreme and this 3rd party diffuser.. :)
I am trying out my new RC1- a wireless remote shutter control for my Digital Rebel. I am most interested in using it to control some night time bulb exposures (long exposures).
Previously I was interested in trying to do a DIY shutter release using what I had found on instructables (hacking a mobile phone wireless hands free set), but had already wasted $9 trying to follow the instructions. The Canon one was not much more.
And it works

I¹ve been experimenting with remote controlling my Mac Mini in the past few
days. I realized I could use the attached webcam to view and snap photos
