I began this image of disposable lighters by lining them up in rows. In that configuration the layout structure disappeared and the focus shifted to the differences between each individual lighter.
Looking at these lighters I saw them as nearly identical machined forms in different states of decay. If you don't think about them as objects with names, and just look at them "abstractly", as color shapes, they form regular color marks all about the same size. As gestural line segments they still possess their own individual character defined by surface scratches, beach tar stuck to their surfaces and other qualities like design variances and details along with differences in behavioral color: opacity- (Some seem solid and you can't see through them at all), transparency- (can you see through them and if so, how much? Do you see the liquid inside?) In this composition of lighters, the shapes do not go from edge to edge and fill the entire format of the picture plane. There are just two lighters that make contact with the edge of the image. And why did I do that? Once stuck to the edge, they visually become anchors and provide a stable visual reference (pivot points) so that the others could possess freedom to move around on the canvas and in your head. So by tagging the edge I untethered the others so that they could dance and be playful together.
Initially I created something I thought was very boring to look at until I began moving them around and reached a place of misaligned dynamic tension and balance. Metaphorically, the feeling of movement in this piece has a randomness that relates to what happens to disposable lighters in real life. I needed to throw the emphasis in the direction towards chaos and the carelessly disregarded.
Before the disposable lighter was created (and before "disposable" income), a lighter was made of metal, it was refillable, it cost a bit more, and it was often an object of pride. I think people use to take more pride in their possessions (owning fewer of them) and not jettison such things, because the useful life of such an object was not a question. Has the disposability gap helped accelerate waste and push our sense of attachment and responsibility to our possessions out of our mind? Hell, yes. Has this not brought on an avalanche of careless disregard for our immediate environment? That would be yes again.
These lighters are made of plastic material such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride, which doesn't biodegrade and just photo degrades (degrades by exposure to sunlight), forming smaller and smaller pieces or shards but never breaking down completely.
Please read this essay about lighters and wooden matches myplasticfreelife.com/2010/02/match-vs-lighter-my-candles... as you may think differently about what has the smallest impact on the planet if you need to light up. About two million are sold in just the US everyday, so the impact does add up quickly. Disposable lighters get ingested by birds and causes them to die and together with other heating sources are the leading cause of death from fire of children. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighter
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. Space Shuttle Discovery in full launch configuration is revealed after the Rotating Service Structure (RSS) is rotated back at Launch Pad 39B at NASA Kennedy Space Center. The gaseous oxygen vent arm (beanie cap) has been extended to the top of the External Tank and the orbiter access arm is extended to Discoverys hatch. Rollback of the RSS is a major preflight milestone, typically occurring during the T-11- hour hold on L-1 (the day before launch). Discovery is scheduled to lift off on the historic Return to Flight mission STS-114 at 10:39 a.m. EDT July 26 with a crew of seven. On the mission to the International Space Station the crew will perform inspections on orbit for the first time of all of the Reinforced Carbon- Carbon (RCC) panels on the leading edge of the wings and the Thermal Protection System tiles using the new Canadian-built Orbiter Boom Sensor System and the data from 176 impact and temperature sensors. Mission Specialists will also practice repair techniques on RCC and tile samples during a spacewalk in the payload bay. During two additional spacewalks, the crew will install the External Stowage Platform-2, equipped with spare part assemblies, and a replacement Control Moment Gyroscope contained in the Lightweight Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure.

NSF MSGI research associate Arthur Mills and his mentor Wu Zhang outside of the JOULE supercomputer at NETL in Morgantown, WV. Arthur is studying Description of 3D Configuration. This project develops mathematics description of objects. Equations, and Matlab code will be needed to construct image of object in 3D space. There are several such problems in NETL’s research challenge list. The researcher of this project will be asked to work on one or more of them based on their own interests and background. One group of problems comes from the need to supply 3D printer an algorithm and/code with which an object can be manufactured through 3D printing. One of the objects would be a screw, and the other would be a hollow circular tube with arms at three different locations with each orientated differently around the tube. The other group of problem is represented by the image of a long rod in a curved tube. This is a simulation of the bending status of drill string in directional well, as commonly occurred in drilling an oil and gas well. The validation of the mathematic description of the object is expected to be conducted by providing 3D imaging of the objects with a series of cross section images staking over one and another. If time allow, the objects will be made to perform certain motion. For example, the motion can be rotating the screw or moving the rod downward simulating the drilling progress.

97 East 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, BC.
The building was renovated to the present configuration in 2013.
Statement of Significance:
Description of Historic Place:
Located at the corner of East 2nd Avenue and Quebec Street, the Opsal Steel Building is an important, surviving and excellent example of early twentieth century industrial architecture. It is a legacy of the industrial history of the southeast False Creek area.
Heritage Value:
The heritage value of the Opsal Steel Building lies in its contextual and architectural value.
The building was designed by architect T. H. Bamforth and built by Dominion Construction in 1918. It has long been known as the Opsal Steel Company ""OSCO"" and its distinctive Art Moderne addition was added in the early 1940’s.
The building is a landmark at the corner of East 2nd and Quebec and is a very visible reminder of the area’s - and the city’s - industrial past. There is a brick manufacturing building directly across the street to the south, a vacant lot diagonally opposite, a low-rise industrial building opposite to the east and the large concrete structure of Mario’s gelato factory across the lane. Its long linear profile to East 2nd Avenue is an important part of its contextual value.
The building is composed of a pair of long gable-roofed ranges parallel to East 2nd Avenue, made up of heavy-timber frame, two-storey high bays. A low roof element connects the two ranges mid-site. A series of rooftop light monitors are found on the northern lane-fronting range. Originally clad in board and batten siding, the building has for some time been clad with horizontal wood siding, painted a box-car red. Multi-paned sliding windows are found at regular bay spaces along the facade. An important part of the southern facade is the painted sign ""Opsal Steel Limited - OSCO - Logging Equipment"". The part of the building at the corner of Quebec and East 2nd is a stucco-clad Art Moderne section, housing administrative offices; it has horizontal banded windows and until recently had a sign ""Opsal Steel Ltd."" in Moderne era metal letters.
The exterior of the building is largely original, although there have been some changes over time. The building has suffered a considerable amount of deterioration over the past decade, with major decay in the lower sections of the wooden siding, windows and the roof. Inside the building are a number of interesting artifacts related to the casting and manufacturer of steel equipment for the logging industry, including a gantry crane and wooden casting moulds.

Character-Defining Elements:
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Opsal Steel Building include its:
- location in the southeast False Creek industrial area
- landmark visibility at the corner of West 2nd Avenue and Quebec Streets
- facade, comprised of long low horizontal frontage along West 2nd Avenue
- two parallel ranges of low-pitch gabled roofs
- regular pattern of rooftop monitors on northern range of building
- repetitive pattern of window openings
- simple wood-frame multi-paned sliding windows
- Art Moderne streamlined addition
- large open interior volume in two parts
- exposed timber frame and trusses
- gantry cranes
When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.
All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.
The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.
It should be noted that F-86L aircraft were also assigned to the 196th FIS, which was an integral part of Air Defense Command. The 196th FIS was based at Ontario ANGB, and the successor unit is the Guard refueling unit currently based at March Field. (Source: Ray V. Miller).
During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.
-March Field Air Museum website (www.marchfield.org/)Nicknamed the "Flying Vacuum" because of its low slung jet intakes, the F-89 Scorpion would ingest any loose objects it crossed paths with on the runway. An attempt to place screens over the intakes failed when, at high altitudes, ice formed over the screens and caused the engines to flare out. Designed as an all weather ground attack fighter, the Scorpion was the first US interceptor armed with nuclear air-to-air missiles and the first aircraft to live fire an AIR-2 Genie nuclear air-to-air missile on 19 July 1957.
According to the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA/RSA), Maxwell AFB, AL, the museum's F-89J has the following history:
The aircraft at the March Field Museum is a J model, serial number 52-1949. It was manufactured by Northrop and delivered to the Air Force on 24 November 1954
In June, 1981, it was transported by truck to March AFB Museum. The nose radar equipment was removed and placed into a display case by former radar technician who was in the RAF during WWII. The display shows the many glass radio tubes in use at the time. This aircraft is on loan from the USAF.

So my ThinkTankPhoto Retrospective 30 arrived earlier today and I figured I'd try out some different packing configurations with it. This config could possibly work quite well as my general, all-purpose layout. I'm pretty lazy sometimes when it comes to swapping lenses so with this config I'm covered from 24-260mm (w/a small gap between 70-91mm) w/out having to swap. For low light I stash a 35mm in one of the front pockets.
I opted to expose the velcro on the same side as the 35mm just as an additional safety measure to prevent the lens from accidentally tumbling out. Not that I think it will (those front pockets are pretty deep) but just in case.
The bag comes with a raincover that was originally clipped into the front pocket that the 35mm is in. I moved the cover into the back interior pocket since I don't think I'll use that pocket for anything. Upon wearing the bag I discovered that this arrangement actually worked really well because the raincover functions as additional padding for the rear of the bag so that your gear isn't digging right into your body, especially w/a heavy load.
Sony HX400V---The A380 is the world's largest airliner, having been in service since 2007. It can carry 525 passengers in a typical 3-class configuration and up to 853 in an all-economy class seating arrangement. Its cruise speed is listed at 560 mph.
Flying at 35,000 feet, at 5:01 pm, 11/6/15, PST, this plane was heading towards the Northern Polar Region non-stop from San Francisco to Dubai. It was an Emirates A380-861, Flight UAE226 or EK226. When I checked it two hours and forty-five minutes later, it was directly over Yellowknife and Great Slave Lake, NWT. It was going 575 mph (ground speed). It started its flight at 3:40 pm, PST.
Forty-five minutes later, it was over Cambridge Bay Airport and then crossed Prince of Wales, Somerset, Devon and Ellesmere Islands, in the Arctic Ocean. Within an hour, it crossed near Etah in Northern Greenland and would have soon been starting to head south. It seems likely the first European explorers in the area were English.
At 10:50 pm, PST, it flew near the Nord Scientific and Military Station (Denmark), on Princess Ingeborg Peninsula, in NE Greenland. At 11:20 pm, PST, it began to pass over Spitsbergen Island, in the Svalbard Archipelago, north of the mainland of Norway. It had increased its speed to 633 mph, obviously having a favorable tailwind.
At 11:55 pm, PST, it passed out of the 24 hour-a-day darkness and into a twilight zone. It entered full daylight 23 minutes later, at 12:18 am, PST, 11/07/15. But at 35,000 feet, the Sun would have been visible several minutes earlier.
At 4:00 am, PDT, which was 4 pm, Gulf Standard Time (GST), it was passing over the Northern Border of Turkmenistan, not far from Dubai. At 4:49 am, PST, it flew over Ashgabat International Airport. It had climbed to 38,000 feet and had slowed to 557 mph. Soon after, it began to cross Iran. It was scheduled to arrive in Dubai at 7:25 pm, GST.
This flight landed safely in Dubai at 6:58 am, PST, 6:58 pm, GST, 27 minutes ahead of schedule. It was in the air for 15 hours and 18 minutes. Based on that and average speed, I estimate that it flew about 10,000 miles. This would include a higher ground speed than airspeed, if the tailwind factor was good. It is a daily flight, with another going back to San Francisco, leaving Dubai at about 9 am, GST and arriving at about 12:30 pm, PST.
There was another A380 flying to Dubai from L.A. on a similar route, a short time later. Another flight from Seattle to Moscow, was following the same track for most of the way.
An interesting thing, was that a flight to San Francisco, took off from Dubai at 9:17 pm, GST, 11/06/15. But it was headed to the NE and its polar route took it north of Alaska, instead of over Greenland. The flight came south through the NW Territories of Canada and from there, followed the same track to its landing, as if it had gone on the opposite polar route. I assume that a reason for using this alternate route would be the direction and strength of prevailing winds at the flight altitude.
Added note on 11/08/15: Today, Flight UAE225, which is going back to SFO from Dubai, is headed on the opposite polar route as it did yesterday. It's angling slightly to the NW, near the upper tip of Norway. It will pass over the top of Greenland heading west and then curve south to SFO on the reverse track of yesterday's UAE226, that I've described here.
If you look at the route tracking lines for completed flights on FlightRadar24, which I've been using, you see that the theoretical routes and those actually flown by each flight, have a lot of variations. The pilots follow weather and wind reports and often alter their pathways and elevations, to make the best of prevailing conditions.
One day later, on 11/07/15, I'm looking at Flight UAE226 again and it's heading NE, but about 350 miles east of its outgoing track past here yesterday. Later, it passed over the Southern ends of Baffin Island and Greenland and then Iceland, about 1,100 miles south of the track this same flight followed yesterday.
Dubai is exactly halfway around the world from the West Coast of the U.S. Generally, winds tend to flow from the West, in the Northern Hemisphere. GST in Dubai, is 12 hours ahead of PST, so this flight would give you that many hours of jet-lag.
Shot at full-zoom and in the 7.5-MP mode for an equivalent of 1,680mm.
Added note on 9/30/17: Today, an Air France A380 on a polar route, had the #4 engine blow up over Greenland. It was thought to be caused by a failure of the fan, which took the whole cowling off the engine and damaged the wingtip. Fortunately, after a short period of vibration, the plane was able to proceed on three engines and landed safely at Goose Bay in Labrador. That's why there are numerous landing fields scattered across the Arctic, for emergencies like this.

With its asymmetrical door configuration (one on the driver side and two on the passenger side), the Veloster coupé has been a charming oddity since production began in 2011. Although the press found the Veloster lacking polish when compared to other hot hatches like the Golf GTI or Focus ST, the Veloster nevertheless cultivated a strong following.
Pictured is the second generation, in production since 2018 and offering a range of four-cylinder petrol engines with between 140 PS and 275 PS. Pictured is the 1.6 Turbo model, powered by a 204 PS 1,6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder and priced from $25.400.
This configuration was manufactured between 1919 and 1924.
The following link takes you to my set with more photos of this camera and photos that I took with it:
I'm trying to maximize open desktop space, so I placed the machinery in an arc across the corner surface which is very deep.
The configurations of the bow is based on the actual dimension data of the ship. There has been many disputes and debates in the modelling community concerning configurations and the terminology of the Queen's ships being 'race-built'.
Working with the HALF MOON Project some twenty years ago gave me the opportunity to weigh and balance Dutch and English ships in their physical appearance. As a result, I concluded that 'race-built' only meant that the English galleon was lighter at sea than its Spanish rivals. They were easy to manuever, like the Dutch ships, because they carried lighter guns and a lower forecastle. The hulls were still tub-like... and there's no getting around those facts.
Current configuration. I'm still experimenting and swapping stuff out. I'll cut foam and do better cable management once it's settled a bit more.
TC Electronics Polytune -> Morley Bad Horsie Wah -> Rocktron Short Timer Delay (set with just a tiny delay to widen the sound a little) -> Danelectro CTO-1 Transparent Overdrive -> Boss HM-2 (my roommate stumbled across an amazing distortion tone using an odd combo of the CTO-1 and HM-2, that's why it's on there) -> Boss MT-2 (for serious scooped metal) -> Digitech Hyper Phase -> Danelectro CV-1 Vibe -> Danelectro CT Tremelo -> Digitech Hyper Delay -> Amp. All sitting on a Behringer PB1000 pedalboard.
I still have a lot more pedals than fit on the board so I'm not sure what to do. The current setup is oriented towards running into my roommate's Blackheart Little Giant amp (which sounds great but is pretty minimalist) and getting fun noises, rather than being a tight metal rig.

This is the final configuration of my now "Standing Desk" workstation (at least for now). The desktop is 41" off the ground and the monitor shelf is 10" above the desktop. The monitor screens are 4", 5" & 6" above the shelf. This is because the three monitors are not matched. Come on Viewsonic standardize already! So far I'm happy with the standing desk. The chair is used sometimes when talking on the phone.
Each axis configuration for the Align power feeder is slightly different. This drawing might help explain the feeder-to-leadscrew interface concept since proper adjustment is required. The written instructions are terrible. The videos are not complete and the dialog is in Chinese.
It appears to me, based on the parts provided in each feeder kit, that Align intends for the brass pinion gear hob to be pinned in place to the shaft by drilling and pounding in the provided roll pins. I don't like that type of installation, and frankly it isn't required if proper care and attention is given to the compressed assembly as noted in the drawing above.
Hopefully this drawing along with the photos that follow for each axis will help anyone else attempting this installation. It took a good deal of head scratching for me to puzzle out the installation.

This is a photograph from the 4th and final round of the 2017 Pat Finnerty Memorial 5KM Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 24th May 2017 at 20:00. This is the final round and consequently some of the decisions around the final configuration of the category prizes are still open for resolution. The Road League is promoted and organised by Mulligar Harriers Athletic Club and sponsored by local sponsors including O'Brien's Renault dealership. This is a very well established as an annual event which takes place on every Wednesday night in the month of May. Tonight's weather was absolutely wonderful. Warm summer air filled the Belvedere area as the runners were treated to perfect summer weather. Just under 200 participants took part in the race which runs a traffic free course over a mix of road and hilly forest trail. Congratulations are due to all of the Mullingar Harriers club who put this excellent series together.
Timing and event management was provided by http://www.myrunresults.com/. Their website will contain the results to today's race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
1963 Porsche 356B Super-90 Coupe
Chassis No. 122550
Engine: 1600 (Super-90)
Transmission: 741 4-Speed
History
The Porsche 356 was the company's first production automobile. It was a lightweight and nimble handling rear-engine rear-wheel-drive 2 door sports car, available in hardtop and convertible configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria where approximately 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965.
In 1960 Porsche first offered the offered the S90, or 'Super 90' motor as an available option in the 356B.
Porsche Super 90 Engine
Sports Car Graphic reported that the Porsche Super 90 was “tamer in traffic and [in the] lower speed ranges than the 1600 Super. Getting off the mark fast from a standing start takes some practice, as the big carburetors can’t be dumped open too fast. Once the biggest chunk of inertia is overcome, you can [floor the accelerator] and start moving out very fast indeed. In fact, one of the most impressive things about this engine is the feeling of torque -- the sheer push in the shoulders -- that one gets on booting the throttle...”
Objectively, the Super 90 was quick: with less than 10 seconds 0-60 mph in SCG’s test.
Testers generally praised the B’s handling, especially in 1961 when Koni shock absorbers became standard for both Supers, matched by suitably lower spring rates. More significant was a reduction in rear roll stiffness via 23-mm torsion bars and the addition of a transverse leaf spring -- sometimes called a “camber compensator” -- as standard for S90s (optional elsewhere).
Unique features of the Super 90 Engine appealed to performance-minded drivers. Super 90s could be revved about 800 rpm higher than other 356B 1600s thanks to a special cooling layout that gathered in more air, plus nitrided crank and cam-bearing surfaces, a lighter flywheel, stiffer valve springs, light-alloy rockers, larger-diameter (by 5 mm) main bearings, and cylinders lined with Ferral, a coating of steel over molybdenum. S90s also had a unique oil pickup system that allowed the engine to draw lubricant from the sump’s full side in hard cornering, thus ensuring proper lubrication at all times. It was an important advance that Porsche racers had wanted for several years and was especially welcome in the high-performance 90.
1963 was the last year for the 356B, it was succeeded by the 356C.
Presented here is an incredible three-owner example of the rare and highly desirable Super 90 Coupe; special ordered from the Porsche factory in 1962. This rare S-90 Reutter Coupe’s history is complete and well known, with the second owner possessing the car for 40 years! Finished in the gorgeous, yet seldom seen original Bali Blue/Light Brown factory color combination, this beauty has a beautiful older restored with no expense spared and no detail overlooked. An original California Black Plate car with extensive service records and history, this S90 has been well maintained and cared for its entire life.
It is accompanied by all the great accessories and documentation that are so important for a serious collector; spare tire, complete tool kit, reproduction 356B drivers manual, a full set of keys, service documentation, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and Larry Aguilar’s 40-year owner biography.
An original Bali Blue S90 with matching #’s as per Porsche Certificate of Authenticity!
Incredibly restored and immaculate interior with working radio!
One of the most delightful 356’s we’ve ever driven, tight and smooth shifting, great power and tight steering! A great set up!
Rare and Desirable Super 90 Engine!

The final design configuration of the "2nd Series" shower from Fame. Whatever could be its version along its production, it always have had the same size, which was exactly the same of the Lorenzetti shower, so it has about 5.5" of height x 5" of diameter, its upper cover has about 4.5" of diameter and the maximum diameter (clamp) is 6", but unlike the Lorenzetti shower, this one made by Fame is quite heavy and required a strong pipe to stand it... if you ever saw some electric shower installed in pipes with a cord or a wire from the roof attached to the pipe, it means that there was one of this shower installed there in the past...
This guy was a best seller and like the shower from Lorenzetti, it was one of the most popular electric shower in the 70's. Believe it or not, people used to give it as a wedding present!

When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.
All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.
The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.
It should be noted that F-86L aircraft were also assigned to the 196th FIS, which was an integral part of Air Defense Command. The 196th FIS was based at Ontario ANGB, and the successor unit is the Guard refueling unit currently based at March Field. (Source: Ray V. Miller).
During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.
-March Field Air Museum website (www.marchfield.org/)Nicknamed the "Flying Vacuum" because of its low slung jet intakes, the F-89 Scorpion would ingest any loose objects it crossed paths with on the runway. An attempt to place screens over the intakes failed when, at high altitudes, ice formed over the screens and caused the engines to flare out. Designed as an all weather ground attack fighter, the Scorpion was the first US interceptor armed with nuclear air-to-air missiles and the first aircraft to live fire an AIR-2 Genie nuclear air-to-air missile on 19 July 1957.
According to the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA/RSA), Maxwell AFB, AL, the museum's F-89J has the following history:
The aircraft at the March Field Museum is a J model, serial number 52-1949. It was manufactured by Northrop and delivered to the Air Force on 24 November 1954
In June, 1981, it was transported by truck to March AFB Museum. The nose radar equipment was removed and placed into a display case by former radar technician who was in the RAF during WWII. The display shows the many glass radio tubes in use at the time. This aircraft is on loan from the USAF.

The Vice-Admiral Kulakov was commissioned in 1982 and was on combat duty with the Northern Fleet until March 1991, when she was retired for repairs that lasted more than 18 years. The ship returned to the Severomorsk base on December 7, 2010 and is to return to active duty. On 5 January 2011, a fire broke out in one of the ship's mess-rooms. It was reported to be caused by a short circuit. The damage was minimal and did not reduce the combat effectiveness of the ship.On 3 September 2011 the destroyer conducted the first underway landings tests for the new Ka-52K helicopter.
The Udaloy-II is modified by the replacement of the SS-N-14 by the SS-N-22, reflecting a change in emphasis from ASW to anti-shipping, however, her standoff ASW capability is retained by firing SS-N-15 missiles from the torpedo tubes. Other changes include an improved self defense capability with the addition of the gun/SAM CIWS systems. Similar to Udaloy externally, it was a new configuration with the Moskit antiship missiles, a twin 130 mm gun, the Udav antitorpedo system and several anti-aircraft systems.
Powered by a modern gas turbine engine, it was equipped with more capable sonars, an integrated air defense fire control system, and a number of digital electronic systems based on state-of-the-art circuitry. The original MGK-355 Polinom integrated sonar system (with NATO reporting names Horse Jaw and Horse Tail respectively for the hull mounted and towed portions) on Udaloy-I ships is replaced by its successor, a newly designed Zvezda M-2 sonar system that has a range in excess of 100 km in the 2nd convergence zone. The Zvezda sonar system is considered by its designers to be the equivalent of American AN/SQS-53 in terms of overall performance, but it is much bulkier and heavier than its American counterpart: the length of the hull mounted portion is near 30 meters. The torpedo approaching warning function of Polinom sonar system is retained and further improved by its successor Zvezda sonar system.
The baseline configuration of the Oshkart SMTV (Scalable Medium Tactical Vehicle) family, the Mk601A is the standard two-door 6x6 cargo hauler configuration.
Features include opening doors and top hatch, a cab capable of seating 2 minifigs with body armor and headgear, foldable gunner’s seat, turning front wheels, center-pivoting rear axles, and spare tire with lift arm.
A special thanks needs to be given to Abdullah750Pakistan. This originally started as a project to clean up and make a buildable and more minifig-friendly version of his Ural 63708. As you can see though, it’s turned into a project to create a series of trucks in the same vein of the Oshkosh MTVR, Navistar 7000 MV, and Ural 63704-0010 families.
As with my other builds, all parts used in this are real production pieces.
