The USAF Air Demonstration Squadron ("Thunderbirds") is the air demonstration squadron of the United States Air Force (USAF). The Thunderbirds are assigned to the 57th Wing, and are based at Nellis AFB, Nevada. The Thunderbirds perform aerial demonstrations in the F-16C Fighting Falcon.
The Thunderbirds have the privilege and responsibility to perform for people all around the world, displaying the pride, precision and professionalism of American Airmen. In every hour-long demonstration, the team combines years of training and experience with an attitude of excellence to showcase what the Air Force is all about. The sharply choreographed, drill-style ground ceremony kicks off the demonstration by showcasing the attention to detail and esprit de corps that defines our enlisted members. As the jets take to the skies and fly only a few feet from wingtip to wingtip, the crowd gets a glimpse of the awesome skills and capabilities that all fighter pilots must possess. The solo pilots integrate their own loud and proud routine, exhibiting some of the maximum capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon – the Air Force’s premier multi-role fighter jet.
The squadron tours the United States and much of the world, performing aerobatic formation and solo flying in specially marked aircraft. The name is taken from the legendary creature that appears in the mythology of several indigenous North American cultures.
On 1 March 2013, the USAF announced that due to budget cuts, aerial demonstration team performances would cease indefinitely, effective 1 April 2013.
Swinton Lions move the ball from the base of a scrum during a 30-10 defeat by Featherstone Rovers in rugby league's Kingstone Press Championship. It was Lions' first game at their new home, Heywood Road, the ground of rugby union's Sale FC. Swinton trailed 30-0 before adding some respectability to the score with two late tries. Lions, nomadic since 1992 when they sold their iconic Station Road ground, hope to build a stadium of their own at Agecroft within three years. The 2016 season marks Swinton's 150th anniversary.

Vandenberg Air Force Base is currently home to the second largest reinforced concrete dome in the world. By summer's end, they may have some bragging rights anyway; a twin is on the way.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District has the first of two, 4-million-gallon reservoir tanks online, with the second scheduled for completion in September.
Surprisingly they aren’t adding capacity as much as economies of efficiency. The previous reservoir tanks were built in the 1940s, when the base was the Army's Camp Cooke, and they were leaking like sieves.
“The biggest hurdle we faced was drying out the site,” said Construction Control Representative Valencia Wynn. “The water table was already pretty high in this area, but it was obvious the tanks had been leaking for years.”
Wynn mentioned the previous reservoirs did enjoy some longevity, but the replacements will be in service for a century and she intends to check up on them for some time to come.
"We'll place approximately 1,700 cubic yards of concrete per tank," said Greg Tague, a quality control manager for SOLTEK Pacific Construction. "Once we completed the first tank... we calculated that the roof alone weighs 940 tons."
The new reservoirs support a population of more than 18,000; military, family members, contractors, and civilian employees.
For some perspective, the U.S. Geological Survey says if you built a pool to hold a million-gallons it would need to be 267 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 10 feet deep. You’re on your own for any higher math.
Airmen from the 621st Contingency Response Wing (CRW) based at Travis Air Force Base, CA, deploy to Central African Republic (CAR) for humanitarian support, on December 13, 2013. AFRICOM is beginning to transport African troops from Burundi to CAR using US Air Force C-17 aircraft operating out of Entebbe as part of a larger effort of African nations supporting the African crisis in CAR. C-17s will to fly about a dozen missions from Entebbe over a week time frame, transporting a Burundian light infantry battalion of about 850 men and equipment from Bujumbura to Bangui in CAR. The C-17’s are staged at Entebbe airport as a convenient mid-way point with the proper facilities to service the aircraft and support aircrews.

This is another image from the recent Winona, Ontario Peach Festival. Midway. What is a midway without a ferris wheel on top of the various games designed to separate you from your money on the slim chance that you may win a cheesy little prize. But is not the prize, its the bragging rights. Right? Regardless, the lights and the sounds are the draw. In case you are wondering about the game, the idea in this one is to shoot a water-gun at a target (the yellow pattern on the orange squares below the row of monkeys. Above the monkeys are the prizes ordered such that the lower ones are the most likely won and as you look upward, you see the harder to win ones. Midway fun. - JW
The base image was processed using HDR software but since only a single image was used, only the tone-mapping component came into play. Hence the base image is not strictly HDR but, instead is simply tone-mapped. Tone-mapping was chosen to bring out detail that would otherwise be less visible in the poorly lit areas as well as to handle the wide light range that these scenes present and which are difficult to represent well in a conventional image .
Taken using a hand-held Nikon D5000 fitted with a Nikkor 12-24 lense set to 12mm, ISO1000, Full auto mode (no flash), f/4.0, 1/320 sec. HDR processing/Tone-mapping used Luminance/Qtpfsgui, with settings as indicated in the file name and/or below. PP in GIMP: loaded the image and adjusted the tone curve to restore a more natural-looking tonal range as well as bring out the general details and contrast as well as saturation and contrast boost, sharpened, added fine black and white frame added bar and text on left, scaled to 1024 wide for posting.

La Base Aérea de Los Llanos (código IATA: ABC, código OACI: LEAB) es una base aérea del Ejército del Aire de España que se encuentra situada a 4 km al sur de la ciudad de Albacete (Castilla-La Mancha, España). Desde el 1 de julio del año 2003 comparte pista y algunas instalaciones con el Aeropuerto de Albacete-Los Llanos, operado por Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea (AENA).
Depende operativa y orgánicamente del Mando Aéreo de Combate (MACOM), y en ella se encuentra desplegada el Ala 14, que concentra en dos escuadrones a todos los cazabombarderos Mirage F1 modernizados que posee el Ejército del Aire (40 unidades, 4 de las cuales son biplaza) y que se tiene previsto que sean renovados por los Eurofighter Typhoon a partir del año 2011.
Junto a la base se encuentran los hangares de la Maestranza Aérea de Albacete (MAESAL), donde se realizan las revisiones, reparaciones y modificaciones que requieran los Mirage F1 desplegados en el aeródromo, y otros aviones del Ejército del Aire, como los CASA C-101 Aviojet de entrenamiento y los Canadair CL-215 dedicados a la extinción de incendios.

Jo, the second eldest of the March daughters and an aspiring writer, receives yet another rejection from a publisher. Her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her she can do better by making her stories more personal.
Begrudgingly, Jo weaves the story of how she and her sisters - Meg, the eldest, who's on the brink of love, sweet-natured Beth who always puts others first and Amy, the youngest and most precocious - grew up in America.
Even though money is short, times are tough and their father is away, their infectious sense of fun sweeps everyone up in their adventures - including Laurie, the boy next door. And through sisterly squabbles and tragic losses, the sisters discover that growing up is sometimes very hard to do.
Louisa May Alcott’s timeless and captivating book is brought to life in a brand new adaptation, perfect for all the family. This classic story embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing laughter, tears and a lifting of the spirit.

In the distant future, the human race is forced to leave Earth and go to live on the Moon instead. There were two main factions: the Spyrax (mostly from western countries) and the eastern-originated Hwarang. The Spyrax quickly gained a larger portion of the lunar surface to settle on, while the Hwarang had smaller outposts dotted here and there. They coexisted mostly in peace, although there were inevitable small skirmishes.
This is my first proper attempt at microscale, and I'm rather pleased with it. Hope you like it! :D
