Faisant partie des différentes disciplines des plus ancestrales du Japon, le Kendo est un art martial très apprécié et très pratiqué dans le pays. Il se pratique avec un long sabre en bois ou en bambou. C’est un art inspiré de la culture des samouraïs, d’où son appellation la Voie du Sabre. Cette discipline tire son fondement de l’unité entre le sabre, le corps et l’esprit : « ki ken tai no itchi « . Si le KI désigne l’énergie et la détermination du combattant lors des compétitions, le KEN présente le coup porté par le sabre sur les différentes parties du corps de l’adversaire et protégées par l’armure. Cette énergie se manifeste par un cri poussé par le combattant à chaque fois qu’il porte des coups. Le TAI représente l’engagement que le corps prend au moment de l’attaque. Cela se manifeste par les frappes du pied au sol exécutées en même que la frappe. Un grand merci pour votre intérêt !

Canadair built CL-13B Sabre 01675/FU-675 at RIAT RAF Fairford 2022, originally built for the Luftwaffe in 1958 now based in France as F AYSB, the markings are believed to be a non authentic USAF scheme but great to see anyway!.
This ex-Royal Australian Air Force Avon Sabre is one of only two still flying and whilst it is based on the American F-86 Sabre, it was built in Australia with numerous changes and upgrades resulting in not much more than the wings of the F-86 in common..
A Rolls-Royce Avon engine was fitted which meant that 60% of the fuselage required modification and the size of the air intake was increased by 25%.
This resulted in the Australian Avon Sabre being faster than the US F-86 ( 700mph vs 687mph ), with a greater rate of climb ( 12,000 feet per minute vs 9,000 feet per minute ) and a higher ceiling level ( 55,000 feet vs 49,600 feet )
Other modifications were made including changes to the cockpit and an increase in fuel capacity. Also, the Australian sabre could be started without an external power source.
The 6 x .50 machine guns of the F-86 were replaced with 2 x 30mm Aden Cannon. In the jet age it was rare for more than a couple of bullets to hit the enemy aircraft therefore it was decided that a couple of 30mm cannon strikes would generally do more damage that a couple of .50 machine gun bullets.
The Avon Sabre is arguably the best of the numerous Sabre variants built throughout the world.
Former RAAF Avon Sabres were donated to and used by both the Malaysian and Indonesian Air Forces. . . . . .Canon EF-S 18 -55mm f3.5 -5.6 IS

I found a couple of these yesterday but I went back today hoping for a better shot! What doesn't come across unfortunately is the hugeness of this insect - maybe 80 mm from her nose to the tip of her ovipositor.

Soesterberg, 1 July 1992.
This classic was operated by a company named Corporate Jets based in Scottsdale, AZ. N30CJ was used as a target tug for the USAF Europe together with N50CJ.
It is a CL-13B Sabre Mk.6 manufactured in 1955 by Canadair. Soon after it's short deployment to Soesterberg in 1992 the Sabre was sold to a private owner, Jimmy Rossi. The jet was painted in USAF colours and flew in airshows marked as 'Crap Shooter'. The owner and pilot crashed after take-off from San Isidro, Dominican Republic on 4 November 2002. Rossi was killed.
