The Pope AFB District, which includes Old Family Housing units and Depression-era administration and barracks buildings, commemorates not only the earliest military expansion period at Pope Field, but also marks the pre-Public Works Administration period of direct Federal efforts to alleviate the massive unemployment which accompanied the Great Depression. Under the Emergency Relief and Construction Act of 1932 (Title III, Sec. 301), which provided 3300 million nationwide for public construction, Congress authorized the expenditure of $140,000 to build & barracks and $140,000 and $34,000 respectively, for commissioned and non-commissioned officers' quarters (Old Family Housing units on Etheridge, Virgin, and Maynard Streets.) Thus, the buildings included in the Pope AFB Historic District are an enduring symbol of the few pre-Roosevelt era attempts to put a nation back to work during its darkest economic hour.
The housing structures built at Pope AFB in 1933 - 1934 are also typical of buildings constructed at military bases across the United States during that period to alleviate the severe military housing shortage which occurred during the first quarter of the twentieth century. By 1927 military housing in the United States was described as a "national disgrace," with more than one-half of the S1,O97 members of the military housed in World War I-era temporary housing or tents. Legitimate concerns for the health and safety of the country's military forces, as well as the need to boost the economy, were therefore responsible for 1930s congressional appropriations for military construction projects, including those at Pope AFB.
Pope AFB has played a leading role In the development of United States air power. Established within 15 years after the first successful powered flight in 1903, Pope Field is one of the oldest installations in the Air Force. Pope Field was officially established on April 1, 1919 by the War Department

Our Everest base camp trek is an incredible trek that offers sensational mountain views and an understanding into the lives of the Sherpa individuals. Subsequent to investigating the sanctuaries, altars, bazaars and eateries of Kathmandu we take an exciting mountain flight to Lukla and trek up the Dudh Kosi Valley, encompassed by the taking off tops of Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru. It's a precarious climb to Namche Bazaar, capital of the Kumbu Sherpas, where we are again welcomed by breathtaking mountain vistas. A rest day here guides acclimatization and there are incredible discretionary strolls to appreciate the territory. We then take after the trail to acclaimed Tengboche, found high on an edge where a radiant 360-degree scene is standing by. The perspectives of Everest, the Lhotse-Nuptse Wall, Ama Dablam and Kantega rule this serene and profound area – without a doubt a standout amongst the most quiet and motivating spots on the planet. globalholidaysadventure.com/

PB Dragon is the site of a half finished Iraqi power generation plant. The russians were building it and abandoned it when the war kicked off. It was very kewl to stay overnight in the large tower and wake-up to the sight of the Euphrates .
Three Hawks and an Owl standing by ready for take-off
On a more taxonomic note: the Hawks are Nephele comma forma derasa. They are commonly called the Comma Hawk, based on a white comma shaped mark in the forwing. However the derasa form actually lacks this mark completely or just, as in these three, show a tiny white point. More a Full-stop Hawk really in this case.
The Owl (Noctuidae) is a bit more of a mystery. Any suggestions there would be much appreciated
The then-new Cairns District Hospital, designed in the style of Queen Anne architecture, opened just over 100 years ago in 1912. Locals ran art unions to raise funds to help build it.
The redevelopment of Cairns Base Hospital will provide an additional 168 beds by 2015, bringing the total to 531 beds.
