19761 seen on high road ilford at the Hainault street bus stop upon terminating there after completing a trip on the 179 from Chingford station back in a very freeze foggy morning in December 2022. It was on that day later on it that snowed!
19761 is also since now a city sightseeing bus
The T-800 Terminator was Skynet's first cybernetic organism, with living tissue over a hyperalloy endoskeleton. This made it Skynet's first successful Infiltrator unit, capable of infiltrating the Resistance.
Made by Kenner in 1991...
I don't know how, but with out really trying . I have picked up all the figures here . Through the years ....If I find a really clean one on the cheap, I may get it . Just because it is vintage Kenner ....
There are nine versions of the Arnie figure ! Too much . I wish they would have not made about six of those Arnies. And made more fantasy robots . Like Kromium and the Cybergrip Villian .
As the description says, the Chicago skyline from the Willis Tower's famous 103rd floor SkyDeck. This shot is showing the view from the northern wall of Willis Tower (Sears Tower). From here you can see downtown to the north of the Sears Tower and the northern neighborhoods as well as some of the northwestern ones too.
Some important landmarks visible despite the hazy weather will be noted on the picture. I will leave out some landmarks just due to it cluttering up the picture, but put some in so you know some reference to certain places.
What you see directly below and in the center is the roof line (it looks like a rusty railroad track) on one of the signature "Tubes" of Willis Tower (Sears Tower). This "tube" terminates with two floors reserved for mechanical use. They terminate at the 90th floor with the 89th floor being the last floor of the tubes. This is one of three "Tubes" that terminate just below the last set of "Tubes" that terminate at the 108th floor and the official roof of the tower. These terrace like rooflines will become green soon with solar panels and wind turbines on them. They will also plant grasses and other "green" plants on some as well. This will be done in a massive effort to make the tower (the tallest in the Western Hemisphere) a "Green" building and a LEED Certified structure. That's awesome news!!!!!
A smaller variant of Sky-Net's larger heavy-weapons models. Designed to locate human resistance individuals after dark - it's thermal eye allows it to "see" body heat. Equipped with a four-barrel chain gun (with it's own separate eye to locate targets).
Hey everyone. I decided to get back into the Terminator mood, and let me tell you, it was fun. This mech started as a smaller version of this, and it's definitely my favorite one of the few I've made (mainly because of the light brick). The "head" is indeed built around the light brick from an Agents set, and when you push a button on the back, the main eye shines bright red. I'll try to add more pictures, perhaps on a Mocpage.
UPDATE: There is now a Mocpage, if you wish to see more pictures and see the light brick in action.
That's all for now; I'll be back with more soon.
A series on flying along the terminator. Crazy that on one side of our flight path, Earth is in the sunlight, but if I look on the other side I see darkness and shadows… yet it’s very simple geometry. Notice how the clouds make shadows too. Soyuz and Progress both docked proudly to the Space Station too (the Progress has left since I took this picture). 4 years ago on this today I was leaving the Space Station in the Soyuz spacecraft MS-03 with Oleg Novitsky. The Soyuz pictured here (closer to camera and with a green periscope used to target the docking) is Soyuz MS-18 – 15 spacecraft have been built and flown since our last mission together. This shows the regular and reliable commute to space Soyuz offers. This Soyuz MS-18 is extra special because it has been named after Yuri Gagarin, 60 years ago the first person to enter Earth orbit. It is touching to think that Yuri, Oleg and myself all had similar views of our planet, the clouds and sunsets have hardly changed.
Une série de photos prises alors qu'on survolait le terminateur. Pas le robot venu tout droit du futur : en astronomie, c'est la zone de séparation entre la face éclairée et la face dans l'ombre d'un objet (dans notre cas, la Terre). Ça date de quelques semaines, le cargo Progress est parti depuis... Il s'expose fièrement sur les photos, aux côtés du Soyouz MS-18 d'Oleg. Un Soyouz tout à fait semblable à celui qui nous a ramené sur Terre il y a 4 ans pile, Oleg et moi :) Il est au premier plan et reconnaissable au périscope vert foncé qu'on utilise pour viser lors de l'amarrage. 15 de ces vaisseaux russes ont volé depuis notre dernier séjour dans l'espace, c'est un modèle très fiable ! Celui-ci a un petit quelque chose en plus : il a été baptisé Youri Gagarin (Ю.А. ГАГАРИН), d'après le 1er homme qui a atteint l'orbite basse il y a 60 ans. Je me demande si Youri pensait la même chose qu'Oleg et moi en contemplant notre planète, ses couchers de Soleil et ses nuages ont peu changé depuis ;)

Perseus is captured right after he decapitated the Medusa, avoiding her gaze that would turn him into stone, in this striking work designed by Friedrich Sustris (1540-1599) and created by Hubert Gerhard (ca 1540-1620) for the Bavarian royal palace in Munich in 1585/90. This Perseus which normally crowns a fountain in the Munich Residenz was clearly inspired by Benvenuto Cellini's famous Perseus, which can be seen in Florence.

The Grangemouth Refinery is a major landmark, with its numerous gas flares and cooling towers visible across a wide area of the Scottish Lowlands.
The refinery has a 'nameplate' capacity for processing 210,000 barrels (33,000 m3) of crude oil daily. It currently employs about 1,200 permanent staff, and a further 1,000 contractors.
It processed approximately 400,000 tonnes of imported crude oil annually until the end of the Second World War, and subsequent expansion programmes have increased refining capacity to an excess of 10 million tonnes per year.
The INEOS-owned North Sea Forties pipeline system terminates at the Kinneil processing facility, and surplus crude is exported via pipeline to the Dalmeny tank farm, and subsequently shipped out from the Hound Point marine terminal onto oil tankers of up to 350,000 D.W.T. which are able to navigate the shallow water of the Forth.
In 2004 BP decided to divest its worldwide olefins and derivatives business: the sale included the Refinery and connected petrochemicals complex (excluding the Kinneil terminal, which BP retains). In 2005 the new company created to run this business was named Innovene, and later that year it was purchased by Ineos, a privately owned UK-based chemicals company.
In 2011 the Ineos Refining business, which included both the Grangemouth and Lavera (outside Marseilles, France) Refineries, entered into a 50%/50% joint venture with the Chinese state oil company Petrochina, to form the PetroIneos company.
Grangemouth Refinery today employs over 1300 people over a 700 hectare site.
Scenes from the 2013 film World War Z featuring Brad Pitt were filmed near the facility.

A standard bearer on the left, a heavy weaponry expert on the right, and a cool yet "nothing special" guy with bolter in the middle. Andeach of them has only 28 bullets (bolts, whatever) left. My another take on spacemarine thematics, smaller and bulkier. I saw several nice pics of legomarines-terminators by some other flickr member, but now I fail to find them. Still feels like I should give some credits to that person, so please tell me, if you know him
Following Storm Desmond back in December 2015 part of the A591 road between Grasmere and Keswick was washed away. For many weeks the road was shut and the 555 had to terminate at Grasmere. From March 2016 a shuttle service did operate which finally connected Grasmere with Keswick using smaller single deck buses.
Here, 15725 is seen heading down towards Windermere Station.
I chose this shot of the Raptor for this rant because it does not glorify the technological marvel that it is. It shows the culmination of the 20 year+ path it took to get to this picture. Here it shows a Raptor taxing out for a sortie over the Nellis ranges amongst its operational stablemates. The F-22 has come a LONG way to deliver the goods and now, once its capability is just being understood Secretary Gates and the Obama Administration TERMINATED THE PROJECT in favor of the F-35. Here is my response to a fraternity brother who wrote me in response to today's cuts. He stated he is happy that the money is going more towards the troops on the ground and not these flying overpriced techno-dream machines. To his credit he served heroically 18 months in iraq during the worst of the Shiite uprising. Please take the time to read it and tell me your thoughts on today's events.
______________________________
You are right right, our ground troops need a much higher focus going forward. But Gates has not given them that at the expense of the F-22. No he actually cut our battalions from a goal of 48 to 45 and shelved the badly needed Future Combat System that would give the ground guys "netcentric" 21st century technology. OH but he did increase Pentagon bureaucracy by a HUGE margin.
Why is the F-22 needed.
1.) Although 183 airframes seems like a lot, it is NOT. If we were to go to war tomorrow it would only leave a SUSTAINED force of about 30-40 jets that would be combat ready at any given time. The rest believe it or not are stuck in training, upgrades, depot, systems testing or tactics development. Each raptor carries 8 missiles, 6 of which (beyond visual range AIM-120Cs) would be used if everything goes RIGHT. If it does not the other 2 (AIM-9M) plus the 480rds of 20mm are for self defense. In other words after 6 shots the raptor runs. Further they usually volley 2 AIM-120Cs per target. That leaves a real world potential kill probability of 3 airframes per sortie against a serious threat. Raptors fight in divisions of 4 at a time so that is 12 enemy aircraft destroyed before they have to re-arm. This is NOT ENEOUGH CAPABILITY AGAINST THREATS SUCH AS CHINA OR EVEN LOWER TIER FOES WITH CRUISE MISSILES. Enemies will now know that all they have to do is saturate the Raptor to break through to our high value assets (AWACS, JSTARS, TANKERS, NETWORK RELAY AIRCRAFT, CARRIERS, GARRISONS ETC.) it simply is not enough capability for first day of war scenarios.
2.) The Raptor can do things the F-35 cannot. The F-35 can only carry 4 AIM-120s with no close in heaters like the AIM-9X (Infra Red homing and highly maneuverable). That means the F-35 can only kill 2 targets at beyond visual range with high probability of kill. Further only the USAF version of the F-35 will carry and internal gun for self defense close in.
3.) The Raptor can supercruise (obtain sustained supersonic speed without gas guzzling afterburner) the F-35 cannot. The F-35 is a heavy single engine aircraft that is not even as maneuverable as an F-16 in certain areas of the flight envelope. It has no thrust vectoring for super maneuverability and is not as stealthy nor stealthy in all aspects like the F-22. Simply it is not even close to a replacement for air superiority. They are apples and oranges.
4.) The F-15 is old, if we retain 173 "GOLDEN EAGLES" with the new Electronically Scanned Array Radars (APG-63V3) along with other upgrades it will only be ON PAR with the Suckhoi Su-27 derivatives that are being exported by Russia RIGHT NOW. The upgraded F-15s will rely on the F-22 using its supercomputer listening and targeting technology to forward targets to it to shoot beyond visual range. If you don’t have enough F-22s to maintain battlefield persistence then these upgraded Eagles will have a greater possibility of be destroyed.
5.) THE BIG ONE: WHY DO WE NEED THE F-35 IF WE HAVE ENOUGH RAPTORS????????
WE DONT. It is a handout to industry. If we had enough F-22s we could kick down the door of the enemy in the first hours of war, destroying all their aircraft in the air and on the ground as well as the enemy's air defense networks (yes the F-22 is a FANTASTIC bomber too when paired against modern integrated air defense systems). Instead of buying the F-35 we could buy new block F-16s and F/A-18E/Fs at HALF the cost of an F-35. Once air superiority is obtained, you don’t need stealth, you need reliable proven platforms to SUPPORT THE WARFIGHTER ON THE GROUND.
6.) The F-22 is a "known" weapon system. In other words it is PROVEN to be highly effective, flying today, in production and beating all the goals set out in its genesis. The F-35 has only flown 200 hours in a pre-production prototype configuration, yet the DoD and Lockheed have ALREADY put it into full production!!!! Its insane and unprecedented. The F-22 took 8 years of FLIGHT testing in this stage to be validated and reach initial operational capability. DoD has bypassed TESTING because we need it now and partner export countries need it yesterday. In reality the aircraft will be YEARS over schedule and we are throwing HUGE money away building an invalidated aircraft yet alone a vetted integrated weapons system. Remember the grounding of the F-15s last year leaving the US with its pants down do to cracks in the forward "longeron" structural booms? Well these types of flaws can now be tested for over years of evaluation. This is especially scary for the F-35 because they literally lightened up its structure dramatically so it could meet the weight qualification needed for the vertical takeoff version intended for the marines. The F-15 was originally OVER built in true McDonald Douglas fashion and after 30 years it experienced airframe ending cracks. The F-35 is under built from the get-go and UNTESTED and will need to last 30 years!!!! Good luck.
7.) The F-35 is a one size fits all airframe. The F-22 is a thoroughbred built to KILL ANYTHING. The F-35 is a compromise in every since of the word. I mean do you really think the Marines are going to keep such a fragile aircraft flying in dusty desert environment while keeping up the radar absorbent materials? Have you ever seen a deployed USMC AV-8B harrier? They DO NOT win the housekeeping seal of approval! NO WAY. PIPEDREAM. Its an overcomplicated solution for marines especially that will result in low availability rates and high costs.
8.) The F-35 is made to be exported to tens of allied nations like the F-16 was. We will order over 2500, the partner nations another 1000 or more. We don’t need this weapon system, but our industry does. So DoD, instead of buying enough raptors to gain full air supremacy while SAVING money buy purchasing rugged and cost effective F-16s, AV-8Bs, F/A-18E/Fs decides to purchase a high risk, over complicated one size fits all airframe in order to make Lockheed a little bit more wealthy and ensuring our weapons exports for the next couple of decades. In effect saying, SCREW THE WAR FIGHTER WHILE SLEEPING WITH THE BIGGEST OF ALL DEFENSE CONTRACTORS. Its stupid, expensive and a bad choice for America.
9.) As far as costs go, you site a flyaway cost of over 150million, you are right. But what you don’t mention is that the first HUNDREDS of F-35s will cost the US almost as much money for much less capability! Yes that’s right the F-35 will cost well over 125million for first decade of lots! Only after hundreds and hundreds have been built will cost come down to almost twice that of a well equipped F-16!!!!! This is NOT a cost effective piece of machinery. No, very much the opposite! It is a poster child for the DoD’s “capability creep” that is PARALYZING good weapon systems by making them too expensive to field in appropriate numbers.
10.) Does it really make sense to have a stealth techno marvel giving air support to grunts months after the aerial opposition has been dismantled? NO! Why pay the huge premium of an all stealth force when the Raptor, B-2, UCAVs, and cruise missiles can do the job more cost effectively? We need to go back to the classic Hi-lo mix of airframes. The high end to kick down the door, the low end to make sure the forward air controllers always have something with weapons ready to deliver above troops in contact’s heads.
In essence this is not an argument about redistributing funds from the air to the ground but what to BUY for the air! The answer is F-22s AND reliable, tried and trusted platforms that are cheap to build and operate. Instead, we have a one size fits all force for very NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL threat profiles which we face around the world. Its dangerous, near sighted, distracting, expensive, biased toward corporate America and not the war fighter and its just plane WRONG.
Remember you don’t need an F-22 until you really need an F-22!
