Sentimental Journey (44-83514) is the nickname of a B-17G Flying Fortress bomber. It is housed at the museum at Falcon Field, Arizona by the Commemorative Air Force.[1] The aircraft is regularly flown to airshows around the country.
Nose art features Betty Grable, the number-one pin-up girl of the World War II era. The aircraft's name takes after a song made very popular by Doris Day in 1945.
Sentimental Journey rolled off the Douglas assembly line in late 1944
I can type a whole story about some strange weather that day and no mobilephone connection around this lost Russian (sorry...Soviet) millitary base, but I keep it short:
Most interesting place I've ever visited in and around Berlin/Brandenburg!!!
Totally lost it...
Before I forget to mention it: next to a millitary base, it was also a complete Soviet village and (most of all) a top secret nuclear missile storage facility and launching site.
Maybe that's the reason my GPS went completely bezerk that day...
For those who are interested, some info in:

KEEP IN MIND:
- Bring some food/drinks with you, there's no späti nearby
- It's easier to bike to and around the base
- This former Soviet ground is HUGE!

Muir Beach Overlook, Muir Beach, California
"Muir Beach Overlook provides expansive views of the Pacific Coast, including the Point Reyes Peninsula. Visitors can also explore several historic base-end stations, observation posts that were part of the San Francisco Bay coastal defense system. From this vantage point soldiers could view ships through telescopes, and plot their distance, speed, and direction in order to aim nearby coastal defense guns that protected the area from invading warships in the 1900s."

Under the programme, TREE Steering Committees (SCs) are established at the provincial and community level. This helps ensure community buy-in and support. SCs monitor the progress of the project and make important decisions in terms of implementation. For example, in Nanhupo, Montepuez district, the SC decided to involve their community in agro-business and provide management and technical training in horticulture that includes women and men.

EverGreene Architectural Arts was the contractor for this project, and they have done an amazing job. The 7th Street Theatre was built in 1928 and is an atmospheric theatre built in the style of John Eberson.

All seven planets discovered in orbit around the red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 could easily fit inside the orbit of Mercury, the innermost planet of our solar system. In fact, they would have room to spare. TRAPPIST-1 also is only a fraction of the size of our sun; it isn’t much larger than Jupiter. So the TRAPPIST-1 system’s proportions look more like Jupiter and its moons than those of our solar system.
The seven planets of TRAPPIST-1 are all Earth-sized and terrestrial, according to research published in 2017 in the journal Nature. TRAPPIST-1 is an ultra-cool dwarf star in the constellation Aquarius, and its planets orbit very close to it.
The system has been revealed through observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the ground-based TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope) telescope, as well as other ground-based observatories. The system was named for the TRAPPIST telescope.
