U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Joshua Ortega, 92nd Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, prepares a mid-air re-fuel during Red Flag 14-1 over the Nevada Test and Training Range Feb. 4, 2014. Mid-air re-fueling is vital to a combat mission because it allows fighters, bombers, and other aircraft essential to the fight to refuel without having to waste valuable time refueling on the ground. The more these re-fueling operations are practiced in a controlled environment, the smoother they will run in a real-world combat environment. Red Flag is hosted at Nellis AFB, Nev., and provides realistic combat training in a contested, degraded and operationally limited environment.

I wasn't going to post this, as this is considerably below my standards of quality. I do so for a historical, and a learning context.

 

I had a busy day, and topping it off was chasing the CN M338 job on this day from Genoa, IL to East Dubuque, IL. After I got the shot at Galena, I rushed to East Dubuque. I wanted this to be my signature shot of the day. I didn't beat him there by much, until he was stopped by two BNSF "Z" trains, and then it took quite along time for the bridge tender to close the bridge over the Mississippi River. By this time, it was 10:45 PM. And I was getting tired.

 

But he showed up, and with a minute to spare, I turned on my flashes, and checked my focus. Unfortunately, I didn't set the exposure time back to what it should have been. I set the exposure time to 1 second to get my focus, because most cameras can't focus in darkness; you have to do focus in the dark manually. In short, I forgot to set the exposure back to 1/250 of a second, instead of the 1 second exposure I used to focus on a nearby street light. That mistake cost me an excellent shot.

 

I know that when I am very tired, I can make mistakes. I reminded myself after this frustrating moment to review everything a second time to make sure everything is set properly when I am feeling subpar. I make fewer mistakes now that I have had experience chasing trains, but this one was a real "Grrrrr!" moment when I realized what I had done. Although I am now very good at not making critical errors, every great now and then, something like this happens, and I blow the shot. The last time I did something like this, I *was* able to recover and get the shot. But I probably won't see the Norfolk Southern "Virginian" heritage unit come into the tunnel at East Dubuque ever again. Lesson learned!

Because of my recent travels, giving me my first opportunity to use the excellent Citylink Air service, I was unable to attend this months meeting of the Model Bus Scotland group, of which I am one of the admins. The meeting theme was “independent operators” and so, to make up for missing the meeting, I had a little photoshoot of some of my independent’s coach models. Featuring a majority of Code 3 (officially manufactured models, altered, repainted etc without the makers knowledge), these pictures include models of; Henderson Travel (Hamilton). Stuarts of Carluke, Hutchison of Overtown. McKindless (Newmains)

 

Wide shot - in the background are (L-R) Council semi-detached houses, row of small high street shops, block of high rise, multi-storey flats. In front of which are 4 coaches - all of different Lanarkshire independent operators and all depicted operating their respective Glasgow Express services. Leaving the city is a Hutchison of Overtown, Plaxton Premiere in the companies standard coach livery with “Scottish Pullman” branding. It is bound for Cleland via Motherwell & Wishaw. Following it is competitor McKindless of Newmains YIB4528, another Premiere and also in standard coach fleet livery with “McKindless Express” branding. It is bound for West Crindledyke on the X1 route. In the opposite direction: TSV266 a Stuarts of Carluke Van Hool Alizee operating the 240X from Lanark, leads the race to Buchanan Bus Station. Hot on its heels is another Plaxton Premiere, this one in a much simpler livery is from H-A-D of Shotts. The company takes its name from the initials of the owners, Harry-And-Deborah Law.

Unknown operator, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, 2010.

 

Although photographed in Wisconsin, this was not originally a Wisconsin bus. Wisconsin was the very last US state to specify red-only flashers, not converting to red/amber 8-ways until 2016. So, where could this have come from? Michigan was also on 4-ways for the duration of the 1970s, while Illinois buses typically had front-facing reflectors. That leaves Iowa and Minnesota as the only likely places of provenance...although I'm not an expert on either states' standards. Any ideas?

Carrying a registration which has been used at least twice by Nu-Venture in the past, 2138 IUI 2138 is seen on Bartholomew Way Swanley waiting to depart on route 478.Saturday 19th August 2015.

 

Route 478 which operates between West Kingsdown and Swanley with a single morning and afternoon working extended to/from Dartford is set to be taken over by Go-Coach from Monday 21st September 2015. The final day of operation by Nu-Venture is scheduled to be Saturday 19th September 2015 so from this date Nu-Venture will cease to serve any TfL bus stops.

 

I understand Kent County Council owned Opare Solo YJ59 GGK is being prepared to operate on the route.
