Kalitta Air - Boeing 747-251B(SF) - N790CK (c/n 23112/595)
This 747 was delivered originally as a passenger carrying 747-200B (747-251B) to Northwest Airlines (NWA) in May 1984 as N632US. In August 2005 the aircraft was converted into a "Special Freighter" and re-registered by NWA as N632NW. As N632NW it flew for NWA Cargo from August 2005 until October 2008, when Northwest was taken over by Delta Air Lines. N632NW continued to fly for Delta until December 2009, when it was placed into storage. The freighter would remain in storage until August 20, 2010, when it was acquired by Kalitta Air. Kalitta Air would soon re-register the aircraft as N790CK on August 30, 2010.
UPDATE (January 2016) - On August 28, 2012, N790CK was taken out of service and placed into storage at Oscoda–Wurtsmith Airport (OSC / KOSC), formerly Wurtsmith Air Force Base, in Michigan.

MAJORAS' MASK (Project: Terrible Fate)
First step after primer, the base coat. In this case I used a wood color for the front of the mask because when I paint with the other colors there will be areas where those colors will be faded revealing the base coat simulating wood. As for the back of the mask I used a metallic spray simulating metal. It looks too shiny and clean but now comes the fun part! weathering, with this I will make sure everything looks old, rusty and beaten.
RC-135 Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft moves into position behind a KC-135T/R Stratotanker for an aerial refueling at a speed greater than 250 knots over Southwest Asia. When connected to the refueling boom, the aircraft will receive more than 40,000 pounds of fuel allowing it to remain on station or move on to other stations to perform its mission. The RC-135 flightcrew of Capt. Mike Edmondson, pilot; 1st Lt. Erik Todoroff, copilot; and 1st Lt. Chris Young, navigator are deployed to the 763rd Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, in Southwest Asia, from 343rd Reconnaissance Squadron, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. They are natives of East Moline, Il., Jackson, Mich., and Charleston S.C.. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Lance Cheung)
Perhaps surprisingly, it did not seem to be a problem to park among the final approach lights at Ramstein Air Base after a Sunday afternoon drive!
Blytheville Air Force Base aka Eaker Air Force Base.
I think it is lost on most Americans that the first time a B-52 was used in actually live combat was in Vietnam and it was the only time a B-52 was lost to enemy fire.
Fifteen B-52s were lost during the 1972 Linebacker II Christmas bombings and three of those B-52s originated from the 97th Bombardment Wing assigned to Blytheville Air Force Base; B 52G 58-0201 "Charcoal 1" went down on the 18th, B 52G 58-0198 "Olive 1" and B 52G 58-0169 "Tan 3" were shot down on the 21st. Airmen from the 97th Bombardment Wing lost their lives and their photos appear on the lonely memorial at their abandoned base in Blytheville; Lt Col Keith R Heggen was in "Olive1", (now buried at Arlington Nat'l Cemetery) Lt Col Donald L Rissi, 1st LT Robert J Thomas and Msgt Walter L Ferguson were in "Charcoal 1" Major Bobby A Kirby, Capt Randall J Craddock, Capt George B Lockhart, Capt Ronald D Perry and 1st Lt Charles E Darr were in "Tan 3". These three 97th BW aircraft were stationed and flown out of Anderson AFB, Guam, as part of the 72nd Strategic Wing (Provisional).
This is me doing something that I thought that I would never do - jumping from a 40 foot rock.
Don't get me wrong ... I have no problems whatsoever jumping into the water ... it's the height I had a problem with! I really, really don't like heights so I have no idea what prompted me to climb up there in the first place (the only person to actually do so).
When I got up there the height seemed more like 100 feet than the mere 40 feet it actually was so it took me a long, long time to screw up the courage to jump. The decision wasn't helped by the instructor warning me to "jump far out so I don't hit the rocky outcrop on the way down"!!! I think that the fact my son was watching helped me finally take the plunge rather than climb back down.
Once I had gotten over the shock of receiving a cold sea-water enema I had a fantastic feeling of achievement .... but I don't think that I'll be doing it again in a hurry :)
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, ALASKA -- Sgt. Douglas Adamek, 4th Quartermaster Detachment (Airborne), of Fayetteville, N.C., demonstrates the compass center-hold method during land navigation training at Training Area 7B, JBER-Richardson, on July 26. Land navigation training instills confidence in the Soldier’s ability to understand the fundamentals of military map reading, combining the use of compass orientation, terrain association, and pace count techniques to navigate while dismounted.

The last appearance of the grey grille base model Sierra, upgraded to body colour grille from July 1983.
My Blacktron Base, built March 2010 - My biggest moc since i came out from my dark ages - It started as a small outpost, but grew and grew, so that i had to stop the build because i run out of parts - If i ever manage to visit a convention i have to transfer it on a standart baseplate - I also tried to build some playable features and came out with a foldable entrance stairway, a Tower with a roof that can be opened and a foldable Ladder, the big canopie can be removed and there are several balconies to mount the weapons -
