A B-1B makes a high-speed, low-level ingress during Red Flag 10-3.
As if the B-1B isn't awesome enough. The proposed B-1R upgrade would include air-to-air capabilities and Raptor engines. Almost doubling the Bone's top speed.
Having spent a couple of hours in a bird hide with nothing much to see except a nice kingfisher for 5 minutes. I decided to head home, dismantled the X-H1 from the 100-400 & 1.4TC, packed it into my bag and started the two mile walk back to the car. What's that Gull over there? - Hmm too much brown, ooo its an Osprey - knock off a couple of shots on the XT20 with 55-200, then a - rapid unpack and reassemble of the X-H1 to the 100-400 - knock off a few shots - seem fuzzy - thats because I had it on manual focus for the kingfisher on the perch - Ok - Continuous auto now on - just in time to catch the lovely bird take off after a failed fishing attempt - follow it with some more shots - oh-no - Lock-up!! - Knew I should have put in the 300mb/s cards instead of the 95s. Ok take battery out and put it in again - good to go for some more shots - this time of the now- two Ospreys overhead - I think I need to go lie down :)

At least it's clearing away the last of the leaves.
I know some of the details are off. Like how exactly do the two oddly shaped rooms on the right side fit together? Can someone fill me in?

For Nikon F cameras the lenses 50mm f2 Auto S Nikkor and later 50mm f1.4 Auto Nikkor-S was standart.
Non-AI lenses fit on the Nikon F, early F2, Nikkormat FT, FTN, FT2, EL and ELW, and the Nikkorex F. They can be used without meter coupling on the earliest AI camera bodies such as the FM and FE, but they must not be mounted on later ones such as the FM2, as it is possible to damage the camera body.
Nikon brought semi-automatic aperture indexing (SAI) from the Nikkormat FTN into the professional F with the FTN finder.
The F is the first member of the long line of Nikon F-series professional level 35 mm SLRs that began 1959 and followed each other in a sort of dynastic succession as the top-of-the-line Nikon camera. The other members were the F2,F3,F4,F5 and F6 (2004–present).
The F-series do not share any major components.
All Nikon professional F-series SLRs are full system cameras. This means that each camera body serves as only a modular hub.

The Castillo San Felipe del Morro is a massive fort built by the Spaniards between 1539 and 1786 to protect the half-mile-wide entrance to San Juan Bay and San Juan harbor. The fortress has six levels and rises 140 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. Its external walls are 18 feet (5.5 m) thick.
The current appearance is based on a 1587 design that followed state of the art Spanish military fortification design principles. El Morro suffered several attacks from the English in 1595 and 1598 and the Dutch in 1625. In 1898, during the Spanish-American War, United States Navy ships fired upon the fortification, destroying the lighthouse, which was rebuilt in 1908.
It remained a Spanish garrison until Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States as a result of the Spanish–American War of 1898. The fort became a part of a large U.S. Army post, called Fort Brooke. During World War II, the United States Army added a massive concrete bunker to the top of El Morro to serve as a Harbor Defense Fire Control Station to direct a network of coastal artillery sites and to keep watch for German submarines which were ravaging shipping in the Caribbean. The fort was de-militarized in 1961 and turned over to the National Park Service which still maintains the fort today.

There is a Cherry tree on the Levels that produces small, rather hard fruit. The ornamental Cherry in my garden produces similar but they are bitter and inedible. I can never resist a taste however and these are delicious!
