Swarms of these heavily armed bikes, piloted by faceless enforcers, are ruling the city.

Pilot whales are actually dolphins, not whales. They are the second largest dolphin, after orcas.
25182 830203 Man Vic Pilot
Victoria Pilot on the 3rd Feb 1983 was 25182 seen here moving some vans from the back of a train which had just arrived from Red Bank over in to the bay on the North side of the station.
The pilot was very busy in the early evening performing such duties so much so that if a freight required banking the at train would have to wait until a lull in shunting activities.

Pilot Officer John D. Flintoff of 440 (City of Ottawa) RCAF Squadron was flying a Hawker Typhoon Mk IB PD592, and had departed from RAF Eindhoven, Netherland with three others, on a mission to bomb a rail junction just west of Munster. Due to low cloud, they were diverted to another target when he was hit by flak, but he managed to crash land safely near Enschede, south east of Holten at 11.30am on February 24 1945.
While driving on the freeway to the airport for our last trip, we passed this Harley rider with his little biker-buddy securely tucked in behind him, complete with aviator goggles. As we passed, I waved the camera at him to ask his permission to snap the shot, and he grinned and gave the okay sign. Do you think he barks if he sees a CHP behind them?
... so he got his revenge :-) ...

The guide Nico gets us so close to the whales that I knew a wide angle shot was possible. There were about 20-25 in the pod but they weren't doing much - just basking which didn't make for good shots. We will try again. If anyone really wants to see pilot whales and dolphins - go to Los Gigantes port and look for the yellow boat. These guys are by far the best.
A rough day at Fremantle. with a pilot boat ploughiing into the swell. Strong Southerlies this week have seen several boats on the rocks.
Three of the pilot cutters taking part in the Bristol Channel race. Most of the boats taking part are originals that are over a hundred years old. I think the boats in this shot are the Mascotte, Alpha and Olga.
Now I know that everyone is posting this, but I just think it's it's so cool! Though I can't tell whether that's brown or red, I'm gonna need to see more pics to make my final judgement.
A view of Pilot (11,708 ft) and Index (11,313 ft) Peaks from the pilot-index overlook on Beartooth highway. Both peaks were formed by melting/retreating glaciers that eroded a lot of hillsides. Still seen is one of the glaciers in between the two peaks. Pilot Peak (the pointy one) is a glacial horn, a pyramid of rock carved by four glaciers while Index Peak (to the right) was also carved by glaciers but looks little blunted at the top.
This is the northern edge of the Absoraka Range, an eroded mass of lava, ash, and mudflows that began forming 50 million years ago.
The Beartooth highway is an All-American Road that has been called "the most beautiful drive in America," by late CBS correspondent Charles Kuralt. The Beartooth highway is the section of U.S. Highway 212 between Red Lodge, Montana and Cooke City, Montana. It traces a series of steep zigzags and switchbacks, along the Montana-Wyoming border to the 10,947 ft (3,337 m) high Beartooth Pass. The approximate elevation rise is from 5,200 ft (1,600 m) to 8,000 ft (2,400 m) in 12 mi (19 km) in the most daring landscapes.

Not sure whether i prefer the black and white or colour version of this photo. Id really appreciate peoples opinions
I was wondering what to do with the Lego Aircraft front nose assembly piece. Then I turned it into a face mask for a rookie trainee at Tie Fighter School. He’s only got three fingers and that’s why he’s struggling with the flight controls.
Could not find any history on this restaurant, so here is a recent comment off Trip Advisor
.......going strictly on Tripadvisor recommendations, we used our GPS to find The Pilot House.
After some driving and wondering if we were on the right track, we happened up on this little building next to what looked like a golf course/state park. The outside is nothing to write home about, and the parking is tight, but inside this looks like a dive where you just know the food is going to be good, and it didn't disappoint.
I had the sweet & spicy bbq sandwich which came on grilled sourdough bread, and a side of seasoned fries. One of my coworkers had the same, while the other one ordered a burger, which he said was really good, as were our bbq sandwiches.
You get plenty of food for you buck as well. The service was fast, friendly and personable. They have a good beer selection, and serve Pepsi products as well as ice tea.
Well dressed and well fed, the aviators of the Great War could return from their missions to warm shelter and a place of relative safety behind the front. However, you still had to return from the mission and thousands of aviators failed to return. This British pilot was one of those that failed to return.

Hey guys! Jack here again, and this time I'm here with my LEGO model of a Beech 18 (in this case, designated RC-5J and serving with the U.S. Navy at NAS Pensacola sometime in the mid-sixties). While the Beech 18 debuted just prior to the outbreak of World War II as a utility/transport aircraft, many served with the armed forces long past the conflict, some unto around the 1970s! This Beech 18 is based off of one that served in NAS Pensacola in the mid-sixties, and was used for the training of photo-reconnaissance personnel. Designated RC-45J, it allowed pilots in this category of Naval Aviation to train before they handled more complex and up-to-date aircraft.
The model itself features working landing gear, space for a pilot and copilot (though, sadly they cannot sit side-by-side, but instead must sit one behind the other ):), and dihedral on the outboard wings (as was characteristic of the real aircraft). Comments, faves, and constructive critiques, as always, are highly appreciated!
