U.S. Air Force Fact Sheet THUNDERBIRDS
Mission
Officially, the Thunderbirds are known as the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron.
The squadron’s mission is to plan and present precision aerial maneuvers to exhibit the capabilities of modern, high-performance aircraft and the high degree of professional skill required to operate those aircraft.
Within this broad mission, the team has five primary objectives: − Support Air Force recruiting and retention programs − Reinforce public confidence in the Air Force and to demonstrate to the public the professional competence of Air Force members − Strengthen morale and esprit de corps among Air Force members − Support Air Force community relations and people-to-people programs − Represent the United States and its armed forces to foreign nations and project international goodwill
The Team
The Thunderbirds squadron is an Air Combat Command unit composed of eight pilots (including six demonstration pilots), four support officers, four civilians and more than 100 enlisted personnel performing in almost 30 job specialties.
A Thunderbirds air demonstration is a mix of formation flying and solo routines. The four-jet diamond formation demonstrates the training and precision of Air Force pilots, while the lead and opposing solo aircraft highlight some of the maximum capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
The pilots perform approximately 40 maneuvers in a demonstration. The entire show, including the ground show and air demonstration, lasts about 75 minutes. The season typically starts in March and ends in November, with the winter months used to train new members.
Officers serve a two-year assignment with the squadron, while enlisted personnel serve three to four.
The squadron performs no more than 80 air demonstrations each year and has never canceled a demonstration due to maintenance difficulty. More than 280 million people in all 50 states and 57 foreign countries have seen the red, white and blue Thunderbirds jets in more than 3,500 aerial demonstrations.
In addition to their responsibilities as the Air Force’s premier jet demonstration team, the Thunderbirds are part of our combat force. If required, the team's personnel and aircraft can be rapidly integrated into a fighter unit at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Since the aircraft are only slightly modified, they can be made combat-ready in less than 72 hours.
F-16 Fighting Falcon
The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon represents the full range of capabilities possessed by the Air Force's tactical fighters. This highly-maneuverable multi-role fighter has proved to be one of the world's best precision tactical bombers and air-to-air combat aircraft. The only modifications needed to prepare aircraft for air demonstrations are a smoke-generating system and painting in Thunderbird colors. Additional information about the F-16 can be found at www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/1....
History
The Thunderbirds were officially activated June 1, 1953, as the 3600th Air Demonstration Unit at Luke AFB, Ariz. The unit was nicknamed the “Stardusters.” Their first aircraft was the straight-winged F-84G Thunderjet, a combat fighter-bomber that had seen action in Korea. Early in 1955, the team transitioned to the swept-winged F-84F Thunderstreak.
In June 1956, the team moved to its current home at Nellis. At the same time the Thunderbirds traded the veteran F-84 for the world's first supersonic fighter, the F-100 Super Sabre -- an aerial platform that would serve the Thunderbirds for 13 years. More than 1,000 demonstrations were flown in the Super Sabre, thrilling spectators around the world. In 1964, the team changed briefly to the F-105B Thunderchief, but an in-flight mishap revealed a problem with that airframe’s design. So, after only six shows, the Thunderbirds returned to the F-100.
From 1969 to 1973, the Thunderbirds flew the Air Force's front-line fighter, the F-4E Phantom II. In 1974, the Thunderbirds converted to the T-38 Talon, the world's first supersonic trainer. The T-38 was more fuel-efficient and less costly to maintain, which made it an ideal choice during the oil crisis of the 1970s.
Early in 1983, the Thunderbirds reinstituted their traditional role of demonstrating the Air Force's front-line fighter capabilities. Transition to the F-16A allowed the team to retain manpower and fuel efficiency while demonstrating to spectators the latest in fighter technology.

IUCN International Union for Conservation of Nature organized a seminar on climate changes and threats to environment at commissioner house Loralai on 17th Nov 2009. Commissioner Zhob Division Hyder Ali presided over the seminar. Seminar was attended by large number of District Nazims’, DCO’s, Officers and journalists.
Program Manager IUCN Zabardast Khan Bangash and District Coordinator IUCN Killa Saifullah Yahya Musakhail briefed the participants in detail concerning the aims and objectives of the workshop and also about the efficiency and IUCN work inside Balochistan.
Zabardast Khan Bangash answered various questions posed by the participants.
The participants lauded the services of IUCN for creating awareness.
Balochistan is an arid, largely mountainous province of Pakistan. It endures frequent spells of drought, flash floods and earthquakes. Though underdeveloped, Balochistan is rich in biodiversity and natural resources. Wild variations in physical features and climate have produced diverse landscapes, ecosystems and habitats that are important as sources of livelihood and national and global heritage.
Misplaced priorities, inappropriate perceptions and evaluations, and lack of integrated and holistic approach towards problems have made the environment a rather intricate issue in Balochistan. Whereas three million afghan refugees have intensified the effect of natural factors of environmental degradation, imperfect governance structures, insufficient stakeholders’ participation and defective incentive systems have exacerbated the rate of degradation and its complexity. Resultantly, rangeland degradation, dichotomy of water scarcity and inefficient use, loss of forests, wildlife, habitats, and biodiversity, and increased level of pollution are some of the priority issues.
In order to address the environmental problems and a host of other related issues in the province, a conservation strategy was prepared with the technical and financial assistance of IUCN and the Royal Netherlands Embassy (RNE), respectively. The Government of Balochistan approved and adopted the Balochistan Conservation Strategy (BCS) in 2000. BCS was formulated through a consultative process across the province that involved government, academia, the private sector, civil society organizations and local communities. BCS is both a guideline and an action agenda for development. It integrates social, economic and ecological issues; proposes a way forward; sets out challenges and realistic recommendations; and identifies the actions to be taken together by the government, the private sector and civil society.
Following the BCS approval and adoption by the Government of Balochistan, it became important to maintain the momentum generated through the BCS process, to continue providing the much-needed neutral interface between civil society and government-run departments, and to assist in capacity building and institutional strengthening for BCS implementation. The Balochistan Program emerged in this context. The Balochistan program (March 2002-Feb 2007), funded by RNE, aims at improving the quality of life of people through strengthening the institutional and human capacity in the province for sustainable and equitable use of natural resources. While poverty alleviation and gender sensitivity are the cross cutting themes, the program works, through different kinds of means and partnerships, on knowledge management, empowerment and governance in the Forest, Water and Rangeland sectors of the province. While working in Gawadar and Killa Saifullah districts of the province, the program also aims at working on some innovative water related projects.

IUCN is the world’s largest environmental knowledge network and has helped over 75 countries to prepare and implement national conservation and biodiversity strategies.
IUCN is a multi-cultural, multi-lingual organization with some 1000 staff located in 62 countries. Its headquarters are in Gland Switzerland.
IUCN Pakistan has five program offices in cities from the north to south, multiple field offices and a large portfolio of projects. Its one of nine Country Offices of IUCN’s Asia program, covering 23 countries with a workforce of about 425.
Objective camera and subjective camera are point of view, or “POV” constituents. An objective camera POV depicts a seen, in which the camera only plays the role of the camera, (the device used to shoot the photo). A subjective camera POV is much more involved and candid; the camera becomes a part of the shot and takes on the role of a character, replacing for the entertainers eyes.

One of the main objectives of the European Union is to promote economic, social and territorial cohesion between regions. The reformed EU Cohesion Policy 2014-2020 comes at a pivotal moment. Recent years of austerity have seen rising unemployment and widening inequality, especially in peripheral regions, with youth, women and ethnic minorities worst affected.
Making over €350 billion available to invest in Europe's regions, cities and the real economy, the reformed Cohesion Policy is the EU's principal investment tool to deliver the Europe 2020 goals: creating growth and jobs, tackling climate change and energy dependence, reducing poverty and social exclusion. Once member states’ national contributions and the leverage effect of financial instruments are taken into account, the impact is likely to be over €500 billion.
Launching a new partnership with the European Commission, with the participation of the OECD, Salzburg Global’s program is timed to help key stakeholders understand the rules and results-oriented focus of the reformed Cohesion Policy and ensure maximum impact for these investments. It will build on our longstanding European program which has featured over 15 sessions devoted to the EU’s development and expansion, grounded in our location at the crossroads of East and West.
The 2014 program will focus on ways in which regional development policy and complementary instruments can enhance competitiveness and effective governance at local, regional and transboundary levels.
Participants will examine tools for environmentally sustainable innovation, human capital development, creation and financing of SMEs and the transition to a low carbon economy. They will compare practical projects and mechanisms that have delivered successful outcomes for competitiveness and inclusive growth, in and beyond Europe, in order to identify transferable tools and connect stakeholders who are leading cutting-edge work around the world.
The program will be held from May 17 to May 22, 2014 in Salzburg, Austria, with a one day, high-level pre-session meeting on May 17-18, focusing on European competitiveness, the shift to low carbon economies, and the role of sustainable cities.
We're required to post our objective and product for everything we teach. I soon had to scrap this idea. Our tech person showed me how to do it in Powerpoint and have dual screens so I can work on the computer while the powerpoint is run on my TV
