An F-16 Fighting Falcon from the 388th Fighter Wing takes off Sept. 9, 2013, at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The fighter wing is back to combat-ready status after more than three months of flying reduced hours during sequestration. The sequester forced one squadron to stand down completely, and its sister-squadron to fly drastically reduced hours. (U.S. Air Force photo by Desiree N. Palacios)

The Dassault-Breguet "Super Etendard" ("Banner" in French) is a light embarked fighter bomber , successfully tested in combat, on various attack missions in Argentina, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and recently in Libya.
It is a development of the Dassault Étendard IV attack aircraft in parallel with the new "Air-surface" version of the Aérospatiale anti-ship missile, the AM 39 "Exocet". The first test prototype flew on October 28, 1974. The French Navy initially ordered 60 units of the new model, which were delivered in June 1978.
The Argentine Navy acquired 14 "Super Etendard" in 1980, after the US. UU. He denied the possibility of replacing his A-4Q "Skyhawk's" with the new F-18 naval fighters and being able to continue, the operations embarked from the light aircraft carrier ARA Twenty-fifth of May, whose remaining useful life was calculated in 10 years. They were enrolled from 0751/3-A-201 to 0764/3-A-214, and were assigned to the 2nd Hunting and Attack Aircraft Squadron of the Naval Aviation Command.
Argentine pilots trained in France between November 1, 1980 and August 31, 1981, used similar Navy aircraft, completing their training from the Aircraft Carrier (R-98) "Clemenceau".
On December 7, 1981 they officially join the 2nd Squadron with the reception, in Argentina of the first 5 devices of the series, together with 5 missiles AM-39 "Exocet".
By April 2, 1982, at the start of the Falklands War, they had received only 45 hours of flight in this type of aircraft and the integration by French technicians of the interface between the plane and the missile was pending.
Although the French technicians returned to their country due to pressure from England and NATO, the Argentine Navy personnel managed to complete the assembly work. Finally, during the Falklands War, operating from the Admiral Hermes Quijada Air Base, in RÃo Grande Tierra del Fuego.
MISSION OF THE UNIT: Execute Offensive Naval Air Operations, destroying or neutralizing surface units, in order to contribute to the defense of the MALVINAS ISLANDS. Participating aircraft: 4 SUPER ETENDARD (3-A-202; 3-A-203; 3-A-204 and 3-A-205).
April 1: The take-off and landing race tests were started with the configuration planned before the possibility of operating on short tracks such as PUERTO ARGENTINO.
April 10: A flight refueling practice was carried out with a FAA KC-130 aircraft. The commissioning of the AM-39 system was completed, completing all the tests for the four aircraft that stood out.
April 12: Aerospatiale staff visit canceled.
April 15 and 16: Attack practices were carried out on the Destroyer ARA "SANTISIMA TRINIDAD" analyzing the capabilities of the enemy's radar and how to evade its detection. Recall that this ship was twin at Type 42, the backbone of the Royal Navy's air defense.
April 17: The practice of a complete mission with two planes was carried out. It was resupplied from a KC-130 aircraft located 300 MN from the take-off airfield with an attack on the Destroyer mentioned in the previous paragraph located 230 MN from the tank. The position was given by an S-2E, 15 minutes before launch.
On April 18, the NAVAL AVIATION COMMAND ordered the deployment of the four airplanes to the ALMIRANTE AERONAVAL BASE QUIJADA in order to complete their training, now in the area of ​​operations.
On 19, a section (3-A-202/204) was highlighted to the south and 20 the other section (3-A-203/205). Maintenance personnel and spare parts were transported in transport aircraft.
On May 1, when hostilities began, the radar of PUERTO ARGENTINO reported the presence of three targets at 095º and 15 miles. The NAVAL AVIATION COMMAND ordered the Squadron to carry out an attack, for which 3-A-204 (CC COLOMBO) and 3-A-203 (TF MACHETANZ) were enlisted. The maneuver began without inconvenience, but the 3-A-204 began to have a loss of fuel that endangered the mission, so it had to be canceled.
On May 4, a classic mission of efficient coordination of exploratory aircraft (2-P-112) and attack aircraft (3-A-202 and 3-A-203) was accomplished, which caused the sinking of the HMS Destroyer "SHEFFIELD ". flying at low altitude to not be detected, it launched two Exocet AM / 39 missiles of which one hit HMS Sheffield and, although it did not explode, caused an uncontrollable fire with the fuel it was carrying and had not yet been consumed. The ship's wrecks sank on May 10, 1982.
On May 25, by the method of analyzing the movement of airplanes on its radar, PUERTO ARGENTINO reported the presence of a large target and 5 mediums at latitude 50º55 '(S) longitude 56º00' (W). This mission was accomplished with 3-A-203 (CC CURILOVIC) and 3-A-204 (TN BARRAZA). The target turned out to be container ship MV Atlantic Conveyor, being attacked at 4:41 p.m. Two "Exocet" AM / 39 missiles hit the port near the stern, causing an opening in the hull the size of a house and large fires on board. It sinks on May 28, 1982.
On the 26th they returned to COMPORANTE ESPORA on 3-A-203 and 3-A-204.
On May 30 PUERTO ARGENTINO reported the position of a British GT at latitude 51º42 (S) longitude 54º40 '(W). He also reported the possible presence of a picket at 160º and 60 miles, the composition of the force being unknown.
The execution of a double refueling in flight was planned with detailed precision. For its part, the ARGENTINE AIR FORCE Command expressed its desire to carry out the operation jointly, for which the participation of 4 A4-C planes in this attack was requested. The two KC-130 took off on May 30 to 1125 from RIO GALLEGOS and the six attackers, to 1243 from RIO GRANDE, heading towards the established meeting point.
The fifth missile was launched against the HMS Invincible aircraft carrier, failing the target according to the English and damaging it according to the Argentines. Of the four Air Force A-4Cs, two were shot down and the other two pilots continued their attack on the aircraft carrier, carrying out the ground bombardment and subsequent evasion maneuvers. When they dropped their bombs, they observed a large fire on board. First Lieutenant URETA and Ensign ISAAC, separately, said they had attacked a large ship, with a flat deck and starboard superstructure, which was damaged and was throwing smoke.
On June 1, both planes returned to COMPORANTE ESPORA to meet the rest of the Squadron because the last "EXOCET" had already been launched.
Finally, on June 13, it was ordered to highlight a section to RIO GRANDE for Guiding Attack Groups, but this order was canceled on 14.
After the Falklands War, the Naval Aviation Command (COAN) of the Argentine Navy received the remaining Super Étendard units previously requested, which completed the 14 aircraft requested.
After the reforms in the light aircraft carrier (PAL) ARA Twenty-five of May (V-2) (POMA), they began to operate, forming part of their GAE (Embarked Air Group), on April 18, 1983, Captain Corvette Augusto Bedacarratz, first landed on the aircraft carrier May 25 (POMA).
Until mid-1988 they continued to be part of the GAE, together with the Grumman S-2 Tracker and the Douglas A-4Q "Skyhawk", on that date the POMA entered a period of reforms that were never completed and the ship was finally scrapped to late 90s, in Alang India.

Looks like Shipwreck is about to get the drop on some Eels. As long as Polly keeps his beak shut...
This was part of a setup I did yesterday using a very old retaining wall in my backyard, in combination with old fence posts and a crate from the GI Joe Ammo Dump set. Hopefully it gives a seaside effect.

The Prometheus Combat Doll was designed to charge into battle and combat threats without posing a threat to the pilot, who can be safely guarded up to a few miles away. However, since the Prometheus model is so expensive, the pilot uses more care handling it remotely.
Yes, this is just an excuse to use purple. And the name "Prometheus."
The Scammell Pioneer was a British 6×4 tractor unit used in World War II as an artillery tractor, recovery vehicle and tank transporter.
Designed as a 6×4 off-road vehicle for use in Britain's colonies where sealed roads were scarce, the Pioneer was first produced in 1927. Though lacking all-wheel drive, its combination of a suspension with great travel, excellent traction, and a low-revving engine gave it impressive pulling power on rough ground at low speeds.
Though not designed for military use, the British War Office purchased a single petrol engined example in 1932. Equipped as a tank transporter with a permanently coupled 18t semi-trailer, it was assigned to a training unit but did not initially catch on. Additional transporters were not purchased until 1937.

Combat moves laterally across the Nereid Monument frieze. Archer, horseman, and foot soldier overlap in shallow relief, their bodies compressed into a continuous field that once ran around the podium of the Lycian tomb.
The camera faces the slab nearly squarely so gesture and sequence can be read from left to right. Raking gallery light deepens carved contours and makes damaged edges part of the surface history. The crop preserves the frieze’s horizontal pressure.
Architectural sculpture is designed to be read while moving around a building. The museum fixes this section to one wall, but the photograph restores some momentum through framing. Figures enter and leave at the edges, implying battles beyond the surviving slab. What appears as a discrete artifact remains visibly part of a larger monument.
