Swedish Air Force Saab J32E Lansen, EW variant of the J32B all-weather fighter, serial (registration): 32512, code 03, CN 32-512, F3 squadron markings and Swedish Navy Boeing/Kawasaki-Vertol 107-II Hkp 4C, serial 04069, code 69 (in the museum 70), CN Hkp4C4082.
Saab J32 Lansen (“Lance”)
The first J32 version to leave the factory in 1955 was the A32A Lansen. It was a modern and powerful attack aircraft for its time. The fixed armament was four 20mm automatic cannons, rockets, bombs and eventually the secret Robot 04C. After A32, the fighter version J32B followed, which first flew in 1957, and shortly thereafter the reconnaissance version S32C in the same year. The J32B was essentially a new aircraft compared to the A-version. It was fitted with a more powerful version of the RM5, designated RM6A and later the engine in the SAAB 35 Draken. The more powerful engine gave the aircraft better performance than its predecessor A32A and was jokingly called the Lansen Sport by pilots. Furthermore, it was equipped with a more advanced radar fo give it all-weather capabilities. The armament was also more powerful with four ADEN 30mm automatic cannons. A total of 450 aircraft of all versions were produced.
A small number of the more powerful J32B, were used after the regular J32A, J32B and J32C were retired. In 1972, six were modified to become target carriers for the Target Flight Division and remained in service until 1997. Twelve were modified in 1972 to become all-weather jammers. This version was called the J32E where E stood for electronic. The navigator operated the jamming equipment and the plane was used extensively to train other Swedish pilots to operate in a radio-jammed environment. The last of these jammers were taken out of service in 1999.
Aeroseum, located at Göteborg-Säve, Sweden.
Aeroseum is, how it describes itself, ‘an experience-based activity centre’ located in a 1950s subterranean hangar 30 metres below the rock surface. During the Cold War, this was one of the most top-secret defence facilities. And although the more frivolous elements like putting dummy pilots in the cockpits, nice for the visiting kids of course, it is also a really interesting museum for the aviation enthusiast with a nice collection of aircraft, jet engines, radar equipment etc.
The mountain hanger
The world-unique facility in Säve consists of an underground rock room of 22,000 m2. The land area above ground is 70000m2. The mountain hangar was completed in 1955 and is close to 30 m underground (the depth was a requirement to survive a nuclear attack) and was built at the then Göta Air Force Base (F9) now Säve Airport. In the active period of the underground complex the F9 squadron operated the Saab J29 Tunnan (“barrel”).

Pushmataha Area Council Spring Camporee 2014 was held March 21-23 at the Columbus Air Force Base.
The scouts were able to see the fire department practice dousing a burning airplane simulator. Then they saw a police dog demonstration, including getting to see District Executive, Micah Huffman get attacked by the dog. They were able to see a T-1 Jayhawk, T-38 Talon, and T-6 Texan II up close. Then they were able to visit the altitude chamber and the physiology lab where several of them were able to experience spacial disorientation in a special rotating chair. They they visited the control tower, and the RAPCON air traffic control area. Then they finished the day with a second visit to the base fire station where they got to see the fire trucks, try their had with a fire hose, and even spray water from one of the fire trucks!
Now a "static" at Lackland - this lady once scoured the skies over the battlefield for bits of electrons to help save our guys in the jungle.

These dark force themed images were required of me by Jedi mind games. I was completed to give in to the glamour of the dark side. Again and again I let black dominate the frame as I subtly lit the dark force.

Description: Lt Karnowski, CEC, and member of a Combat Demolition Unit that landed on D-Day, receives the Navy Cross for actions in combat and service to country.
During D-Day of the Normandy invasion, 6 June 1944, the Seabees were among the first to go ashore as members of naval combat demolition units. Working with U.S. Army Engineers, their crucial task was to destroy the steel and concrete barriers that the Germans had built in the water and on the beaches to forestall any amphibious landings. When dawn betrayed their presence, they came under murderous German fire. Whole teams were wiped out when shells prematurely detonated their explosives. Heedless of the danger, the survivors continued to work until all their explosive charges were planted. As a result of their heroic actions, the charges went off on schedule and huge holes were blown in the enemy's defenses.

Ashgill Force is a an impressive waterfall, plunging 55 feet over a rocky shelf. It is located near Alston, Cumbria, England. The fall is located on Ashgill Beck and is accessible from the B6277 which crosses the bridge over the beck just above the falls, or from Garrigill village.
The beck downstream of the main fall is also attractive in its own right and features several smaller waterfalls. It is a home to several wildlife species, including dippers. There are ruins of former industrial buildings nearby, probably from lead working, which the area was once famous for.
