Mid-Mission Photo-op
During a mission over Iraq, we were tasked to refuel a pair of VFA-213 Super Hornets. They had some spare time before their next CAS window, so we took some shots. Here's the element lead, making a dramatic departure.

Slinging Blue Death - A Draken International A-4K with a MER full of Mk.76 practice bombs, affectionately known as Blue Death, over the Fallon ranges in support of Navy CAS training. Image was shot with the new Nikon Z7 mirrorless camera. Was very impressed with the system even if I had very limited time with it.

These Kamikaze aircraft, often like this Nakajima Ki-43 got extra fuel tanks.
With these extra fuel tanks it should be enough fuel to cover the distance 'one way' to destroy the ships of the enemy.
Mosrtly in that period of attacks 1945, situated in the area around Okinawa.
To carry bombs on the aircraft was not common and took to much weight during the flight.

New LEGO set for the ever growing collection. Used Cokin tobacco filter (P125) and edited in Lightroom CC.
In the barracks of the Paprihaven Defense Force (PDF) located on Adobe Road, bunkmates Army Sgt Vince Carter, and Airman First Class Derrick Simmons are with Navy Aviation Fuel Handler Greg "Grape" Grapinksi. Recent 'news' in The Juicy Bloodhound has unsettled Vince.
Vince: HEEAAA!!!
KRAKK!!!
Grape: Whoa!! You broke the board and almost hit me, Vinnie!
Vince: Sorry Grape! I'm fired up over this Nigel weasel steppin out with my Helen!*
Derrick: I'm going to skip my first question, which is "Why do you read the Juicy Bloodhound?" and go the next: "Why are you even in the Juicy Bloodhound??" How are you news??
Vince: I'm a minor celebrity.
Derrick: Since when??
Vince: You know, the PSA I did with the space chicks, Rey and Jyn.
Derrick: The Eclipse thing??** HAAHAHA!!
Grape: Man, your Kenpo form is smooth! You gotta try Muy Thai though! That's what I use.
Derrick: Grapinski, Vinnie is infantry. He trains in hand-to-hand all the time. He could take us both out blindfolded. You're an aviation fuel handler. You're a glorified gas station attendant.
Grape: Hey, remember that next time I'm refueling your plane, fly-boy!
Derrick: Yeah, good point. It was a bad joke, bro, sorry.
Vince: HYYAAA!!! Not as sorry as this Nigel rat's gonna be!
Derrick: Vin, you know you can't go and just beat down some ice skater coach.*** Helen already talked to you and said she don't even know the guy!
Vince: I'm pretty sure I heard him at her place before she hung up on me all of a sudden!****
Derrick: Really? Hm. I better check with Kelly and see if she knows the score.
Grape: The score is gonna be a Vince KO in the first round!! HAW!! Say, you guys have time to take a quick picture for me? I want to send a close-up of my boot treads to Beulah.*****

Das Foto zeigt die Grabstelle des bekannten Jagdfliegers Max Immelmann auf dem Urnenhain des Friedhofs Dresden-Tolkewitz. Immelmann galt als exzellenter Flieger, nach dem bis heute ein Kunstflugmanöver benannt ist. Er wurde während des Ersten Weltkriegs in einem Luftkampf über Frankreich abgeschossen und starb dabei im Alter von 25 Jahren. Seine Erfolge als Jagdflieger brachten ihm den Beinamen "Adler von Lille" ein.
Über den Menschen Immelmann gehen die Meinungen auseinander - Zeitzeugen und Chronisten beschreiben ihn als ruhig, ernst und besonnen, andere hingegen als überheblichen Einzelgänger. Das die Nazis ihn zwei Jahrzehnte nach seinem Tod als Kriegsheld propagierten, kann man ihm schwerlich zum Vorwurf machen.
Sein Grab ziert eine etwa 1,80 Meter hohe und ca. 100 Kilogramm schwere Bronzefigur, die von Bildhauer Peter Pöppelmann geschaffen wurde.
In der Nacht des 31. Januar 2021 wurde diese Grabfigur das Opfer zweier dreister Grabräuber, die sie fein säuberlich demontierten und auf einem Handwagen zu ihrem Auto transportierten. Dort wartete zum Glück jedoch schon die Polizei, alarmiert von einem aufmerksamen Anwohner. In den Wochen zuvor waren vom benachbarten Johannisfriedhof ebenfalls mehrere Bronzeplatten und Skulpturen gestohlen wurden, allesamt mit einem Bezug zum Ersten Weltkrieg. Die Friedhofsverwaltung vermutet gezielte Auftragsdiebstähle hinter den Taten.
