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 -

Abstract: This report is an evaluation of the operational and biological phases of the Skowl Arm DDT pilot project. The study proved the operational feasibility of spraying the forests of southeast Alaska from a floating base using both the amphibious PBY plane and a helicopter. The spray coverage obtained with the helicopter was superior to that of the PBY.

The following is an excerpt from the 1963 Report on Game Studies, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Game Division, Juneau, Alaska:
"OBJECTIVES
To determine the influence of 1/4 pound DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane) per acre as used in aerial sprays to control black-headed budworm (Acleris variana) on birds
and mammals in Southeast Alaska.
TECHNIQUES
In June 1963, the U. S. Forest Service, Region 10, con-ducted a pilot project to determine the effectiveness of a 1/4 pound DDT per acre spray application for controlling black-headed budworm populations. Spraying was done on June 21 from a PBY aircraft flying approximately 500 feet above the ground. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game were invited to initiate studies to determine the effects of this spraying on fish and wildlife populations. The spray site was in the vicinity of Skowl Arm on the east side of Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska, about 35 miles northwest of Ketchikan.
Three drainages were sprayed however, all bird and mammal investigations were confined to Cabin Creek drainage. Neither funds nor time allowed for extensive investigations of all species which might be influenced. Therefore, efforts were concentrated on the Sitka black-tailed deer, the most abundant big game species in Southeast Alaska, which is usually present in forests where subsequent spray programs may be undertaken."

The engine model shown here is based on the 1:21 scale Bugatti Veyron SS model by Mr.Koenigsegg:
Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4
The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engined sports car, designed and developed in Germany by the Volkswagen Group and manufactured in Molsheim, France, by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.
The original version had a top speed of 407.12 km/h (252.97 mph). It was named Car of the Decade and best car award (2000–2009) by the BBC television programme Top Gear. The standard Bugatti Veyron also won Top Gear's Best Car Driven All Year award in 2005.
The current Super Sport version of the Veyron is recognized by Guinness World Records as the fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a top speed of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph), and the roadster Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse version is the fastest roadster in the world, reaching an averaged top speed of 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph) in a test on 6 April 2013.
Name origin
The Veyron EB 16.4 is named in honour of Pierre Veyron, a Bugatti development engineer, test driver and company race driver who, with co-driver Jean-Pierre Wimille, won the 1939 24 hours of Le Mans while driving a Bugatti. The "EB" refers to Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti and the "16.4" refers to the engine's 16 cylinders and 4 turbochargers.
World record controversy
A controversy developed in 2013 over the Veyron Super Sport's status as the world’s fastest production car, ultimately resolved in the Veyron's favor.
In early April 2013, driving.co.uk (also known as Sunday Times Driving) began an investigation following claims from US car maker Hennessey that its 928 kW (1,244 bhp) Hennessey Venom GT was entitled to the Guinness World Record. With a recorded speed of 427.6 km/h (265.7 mph) the Hennessey was 3.4 km/h (2.1 mph) slower than the Veyron but Hennessey dismissed Bugatti’s official record saying that the Veyron Super Sport was restricted to 415 km/h (258 mph) in production form and that for it to achieve its record top speed of 431.0 km/h (267.8 mph), the car used was in a state of tune not available to customers. Hennessey said its Venom GT was road-ready and unmodified and was therefore a production car in the strict sense of the term.
Driving.co.uk requested clarification from Guinness World Records, which investigated this claim and found that the modification was against the official guidelines of the record. Upon finding this, Guinness World Records voided the Super Sport's record and announced it was "reviewing this category with expert external consultants to ensure our records fairly reflect achievements in this field."
After further review, Shelby SuperCars, the producers of the Ultimate Aero TT, said that they had reclaimed the record, however Guinness reinstated the Super Sport's record after coming to the conclusion that "a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine."

The Super Sport has a 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) top speed, making it the fastest production road car on the market although it is electronically limited to 415 km/h (258 mph) to protect the tyres from disintegrating.

Dordogne is a wonderful area for car spotting. Even in 2017, you can easily shoot forgotten French cars and vans from the eighties : Peugeot 305, 309, 504 Pick-up and J9, Renault 14, 9 and 11, Citroën GSA, Visa, BX, C15 and C35. It's like a living museum.
That was easier and quicker than I expected. Now on to the really fiddly bit - the transition units and scales.

Pacific Partnership is in its 10h iteration and is the largest annual multilateral humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. While training for crisis conditions, Pacific Partnership missions to date have provided real world medical care to approximately 270,000 patients and veterinary services to more than 38,000 animals. Additionally, the mission has provided critical infrastructure development to host nations through more than 180 engineering projects.

On our unit patch we had a bird sitting on a glove or hand. It looked kind of strange and there were bolts of lightening on the patch - hence "The Electric Chickens." The 313th was known as the "Lucky Puppies." The 10th AMU/TFS earned the name "Blue Zoo," although their offical name was "The Sabres," as I recall.
