Mural "Pilot", Kolekcja Malarstwa Monumentalnego, ul. Pilotów, Gdańsk, 22 lipca 2019 r.
Namalowany w 2013 r. przez Shaia Dahana mural jest inspirowany historią amerykańskiego pilota, który w latach 20. XX w. lądował awaryjnie na pastwisku pełnym krów. Próbując chronić zwierzęta, uszkodził ogrodzenie, a tym samym spowodował ucieczkę wystraszonego stada.

"Pilot" mural, Monumental Painting Collection, Pilotów str., Gdańsk, July 22, 2019
Painted in 2013 by Shai Dahan, the mural is inspired by story of a 1920s story of a pilot who made an emergency landing in a field of cows. In his attempt to save the animals, he damaged the fence, which allowed the frightened herd to escape.
This is my version of the naboo pilot from set 7877, it has more detail then the original. At least I think so :)

I was drooling over Russell Stutler's collection of the Legendary Pilot Murex and particularly fond of the 1973 black striped MYU. Amazing technology ahead of its time, launched in the same year I was born in 1971. My budget only allowed me to get the 90th anniversary limited 9000pcs edition. It was launched last year but Pilot Hong Kong didn't carry this pen until recently, so here it is.
You can learn a lot more from Pilot's M90 site and The Fountain Pen Network in addition to Russell's site, so I'm not repeating anything here. I just love the minimalist design of the original and its pocket size when the cap is closed.

Maj. Kurt Wampole, 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron pilot, reacts after his crew successfully completed a pair of late night aerial cargo drops aboard a C-130H Hercules at Bagram Airfield, Parwan Province, Afghanistan, Oct. 7, 2013. The crew delivered 32 cargo bundles during two trips to remote drop zones in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. Wampole, a Rialto, Calif. native, is deployed from Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark.

This was the first time I had taken notice of this detail. And I must admit, I was quite disturbed by it. It's ood... I'm still quite disturbed while looking at the picture now.

This build is specifically inspired by the novel "Ilse Witch", the first in a trilogy aptly entitled "The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara". These books are part of Terry Brook's classic "Shannara" series of novels (some of which were adapted into a popular TV series as well) - this was the series that proved fantasy could be accessible and commercially successful with mainstream audiences after the breakout success of Tolkien's Middle Earth novels. Unlike many other fantasy series, it's set in a world which sees substantial technological and magical innovation over the course of 32 novels and thousands of years.
The Jerle Shannara is the fastest and most advanced airship ever built, and her crew of the Jerle Shannara are voyaging west from the Elven capital city of Arborlon, across the Blue Divide, to the uncharted continent of Parkasia, in search of the lost Blue Elfstones, guided only by a mysterious map washed ashore with a lost prince, their last known user.
The crew have been selected from across the many races of the Four Lands, for their unique talents.
• From Paranor, the Druid's Keep, comes one-armed Walker Boh, the last of the druid order.
• From the Southlands, comes highlander Quentin Leah, heir to the mysterious Sword of Leah, and his childhood friend Bek Rowe.
• From the Eastlands, comes the dwarf woodsman Panax, and the mysterious shapeshifter Truhls Rohk.
• From the Westland elves, come Prince Ahren Elessedil, Captain Ard Patrinell of the Home Guard, the tracker Tamis.
• From the Wing Hove, the elf Hunter Predd and his mighty roc, Obsidian.
• From the Rover communities of the Westlands, the ship's captain Redden "Big Red" Alt Mer, his twin sister Rue "Little Red" Meridian, and the mysterious seer Ryer Ord Star.
The airships of the Four Lands are solar-powered and require active thrust to stay aloft. The sails, called "light sheaths", absorb solar energy, which is channeled through special rigging, the "radian draws", into the parse tubes which house the diapson crystals. It is these crystals which store the solar energy and distribute it through the ship's thrusters.
The Jerle Shannara comes with many play features, making it not only a display piece for adult collectors, but also a fun playset!
• The captain's cabin in the front of the ship has been converted into two smaller cabins with folding bunks to account for the unusual crew. Captain "Big Red" shares the port cabin with Prince Ahren Elessedil, and his sister, "Little Red", shares the starboard cabin with Ryer Ord Star. A privacy curtain separates the two cabins on the aft side of the mast, and sliding panels allow access to a shared washroom in the fore of the cabin.
• A removable platform between the main hull and port pontoon provides landing space for Obsidian to roost between scouting flights.
• Other crew members can wrap themselves in their cloaks and sleep in the pontoons.
• The ship is armed with a complement of ballistae to defend against hostile airships, and the ramps may be lowered to send over a boarding party.
• The galley occupies the center of the ship and features a long table where the crew can dine together, or study their maps and charts.
• The storage room in the aft of the ship has fresh water, food, the armory, and spare parts to make repairs on the long voyage.
• The rope ladder may be raised and lowered to take on supplies and passengers.
• The ship's wheel in the pilot box really controls the thrusters on either side of the ship's rudder, and the capstan hauls up the dual anchors!
• The masts are grippable so crew members can climb up into the rigging.
• Obsidian's wings fold and unfold realistically to move between flying and roosting positions.
Set consists of approximately 2700pcs, including 12 minifigures. The ship is quite spacious and this number of figures does not feel crowded - as you can see from the renderings, they spread out quite nicely.
After a hard day the pilots like to kick back.

I went on a boat-trip whilst in Tenerife and was lucky enough to see some beautiful dolphins and whales!
The Pilot and his wife were kind enough to give me permission to share pics of them as well. This one is my favorite of the set.

Chris is a great guy and an awesome pilot... He has been flying this toy for more than 15 yrs or so... before we took off... he explained me all about power parachute. He told me that this is one of the safest way of flying... he made me very comforablt... Up in the air I felt very relaxed... but after a while i felt a little dizzy bcoz of all those fast turns... but he slowed down later after i told him to... He has a smoke machine attached to his parachute which forms a trail of smoke in his flying path... since i was with him i didn't get to see it :)
Here is the link to Jack's blog about the whole experience that day...
When we went to 5000 ft altitude... chris turned off the engine & asked me to remove the headsets & then he let the wind take the parachute down slowly... it was like we were standing still in the air but the chute was coming down very slowly... that was the best part of the ride... it was indescribable...
or as anyone who has ever watched "The Andy Griffith Show" refers to it, Mount Pilot.
Took my Mom and Dad to see the leaf colors in the mountains. What started as a wonderful day ended with my Dad in the hospital, four staples in his head, and an overnight (hopefully) hospital stay.
I obviously won't be around much this weekend.
