The Reagan's Landing Signal Officers (or LSOs) stand on this platform when they are helping bring aboard landing aircraft. To the right of the platform is a folding screen to protect the LSOs from the wind. At the edges of the platform you can see a safety net. If an aircraft has an accident and heads for the platform, the LSOs can jump off into the safety net to avoid being injured.
On the left side of the picture you can see the Reagan's 3 arresting cables that the aircraft tailhooks engage to stop the planes when landing. Reagan and Bush (CVN-77) are the only Nimitz class carriers with only 3 aresting wires, the earlier ships have 4.
De stalen schijf dient eveneens als uitkijkplatform, van waarop de bezoekers een wijds uitzicht over de Demer hebben.

(•) – The Lockheed Martin HC-130J Hercules The Combat King II is the U.S. Air Force's only dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform and is flown by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and Air Combat Command (ACC). This C-130J variation specializes in tactical profiles and avoiding detection and recovery operations in austere environments. The HC-130J replaces HC-130P/Ns as the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. It is an extended-range version of the C-130J Hercules transport. Its mission is to rapidly deploy to execute combatant commander directed recovery operations to austere airfields and denied territory for expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery operations to include airdrop, airland, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area ground refueling missions. When tasked, the aircraft also conducts humanitarian assistance operations, disaster response, security cooperation/aviation advisory, emergency aeromedical evacuation, and noncombatant evacuation operations.
Features
Modifications to the HC-130J have improved navigation, threat detection and countermeasures systems. The aircraft fleet has a fully-integrated inertial navigation and global positioning systems, and night vision goggle, or NVG, compatible interior and exterior lighting. It also has forward-looking infrared, radar and missile warning receivers, chaff and flare dispensers, satellite and data-burst communications, and the ability to receive fuel inflight via a Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI).
The HC-130J can fly in the day; however, crews normally fly night at low to medium altitude levels in contested or sensitive environments, both over land or overwater. Crews use NVGs for tactical flight profiles to avoid detection to accomplish covert infiltration/exfiltration and transload operations. To enhance the probability of mission success and survivability near populated areas, crews employ tactics that include incorporating no external lighting or communications, and avoiding radar and weapons detection.
Drop zone objectives are done via personnel drops and equipment drops. Rescue bundles include illumination flares, marker smokes and rescue kits. Helicopter air-to-air refueling can be conducted at night, with blacked out communication with up to two simultaneous helicopters. Additionally, forward area refueling point operations can be executed to support a variety of joint and coalition partners.
Background
The HC-130J is a result of the HC/MC-130 recapitalization program and replaces Air Combat Command's aging HC-130P/N fleet as the dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. The 71st and 79th Rescue Squadrons in Air Combat Command, the 550th Special Operations Squadron in Air Education and Training Command, the 920th Rescue Group in Air Force Reserve Command and the 106th Rescue Wing, 129th RQW and 176th Wing in the Air National Guard will operate the aircraft.
First flight was 29 July 2010, and the aircraft will serve the many roles and missions of the HC-130P/Ns. It is a modified KC-130J aircraft designed to conduct personnel recovery missions, provide a command and control platform, in-flight-refuel helicopters and carry supplemental fuel for extending range or air refueling.
In April 2006, the personnel recovery mission was transferred back to Air Combat Command at Langley AFB, Va. From 2003 to 2006, the mission was under the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Previously, HC-130s were assigned to ACC from 1992 to 2003. They were first assigned to the Air Rescue Service as part of Military Airlift Command.

(•) – The Sikorsky MH-60G/HH-60G Pave Hawk is a twin turboshaft engine helicopter in service with the United States Air Force. It is a derivative of the UH-60 Black Hawk and incorporates the US Air Force PAVE electronic systems program. The HH-60/MH-60 is a member of the Sikorsky S-70 family.
The MH-60G Pave Hawk's primary mission is insertion and recovery of special operations personnel, while the HH-60G Pave Hawk's core mission is recovery of personnel under stressful conditions, including search and rescue. Both versions conduct day or night operations into hostile environments. Because of its versatility, the HH-60G may also perform peace-time operations such as civil search and rescue, emergency aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC), disaster relief, international aid and counter-drug activities.
Got my Heated Build Platform parts from Ponoko today!
Things to fix in the next version:
- Bottom build platform magnet & bolt holes are in the wrong place.
- Need 0.4mm bumps instead of 0.1mm for better friction fit of perpendicular parts.
- Delrin was too thick for 3*2mm layers; was probably 0.1"=2.54mm thick. May simplify to two layers & fill gap anyway.
Toy wish list: vinyl cutter like CraftRobo for paper prototyping and thermochromic sheet cutting.
British Railways Associated Rail Technologies class 142 ‘Pacer’ two car diesel-mechanical railbus unit number 142063 (55627 (nearest), 55713) of Newton Heath Traction Maintenance Depot stands on platform 1 at Preston railway station forming the daily 15:14 Colne to Blackpool South (2P17). Tuesday 29th March 1988
Note, 142063 was built by Associated Rail Technologies (a consortium of Leyland Vehicles Limited who built the body and British Rail Engineering Limited who built the underframe) at British Rail Engineering Limited’s Litchurch Lane works in Derby circa December 1986 for British Railways as number 142063, although it was initially expected to be numbered 142113. Driving Motor Standard Lavatory number 55759 was replaced by 55627 in March 1988, and 142063 was reformed as 55713 and 55759 in October 1988. The original diesel-mechanical transmission was replaced by diesel-hydraulic transmission in 1989 and it passed to Angel Train Contracts Limited on 1st April 1994 as part of the privatisation of British Railways, Angel Train Contracts Limited being renamed as Angel Trains Limited on 16th May 2000. 142063 was stored at Gascoigne Wood from January 2002 and sold to Sims Metal Management for scrap, arriving at Alexandra Dock in Newport on 16th January 2020

It's two pieces of high-quality 1/2" plywood. I used every clamp I could find in my place, 6 brake rotors and a couple of big chunks of steel I use on my shop press. I'll let it set up for probably a few days.
This is the PU signal (from the Danish Perronudkørselssignal, which means "platform exit signal". Most Danish stations have one or more of these along or beyond the end of the platform. They govern movement from the station tracks through any switches at the leaving end of the station.
The green light on the PU signal displays Kør (Proceed), with the warning that the following U signal – the Udkørselssignal ("station exit signal") – may display a stop indication. The "U" signal delineates the station from the open line, and serves as a block signal.
Were the green flashing, it would indicate Kør Igennem, which means "proceed through." This means that one can expect a proceed indication on the exit signal.

Swanage railway station is a railway station located in Swanage, on the Isle of Purbeck in the English county of Dorset. Originally the terminus of a London and South Western Railway (L&SWR) branch line from Wareham, the line and station were closed by British Rail in 1972. It has since reopened as a station on the Swanage Railway, a heritage railway that currently runs from Norden station just north of Corfe Castle to Swanage station. It now also runs to Wareham on certain services, but not on regular services due to signalling problems.
Situated between Loughborough and Leicester, Sileby Station is a stop on the Ivanhoe Line. This April 2011 shot takes a look along platform one where a metallic shelter provides some protection from the elements for passengers awaiting Leicester-bound trains.
The chap with the tripod was doing a laser survey or something similar, and was nothing to do with the many railway fotters on site that night.
from Sparrow Hills. The observation platform, which gives a good panoramic view of the city, is on a steep bank 85 m (279 ft) above the river, or 200 m (660 ft) above sea level. The Luzhniki Stadium (formerly the Lenin Stadium), where the opening and closing ceremony for the 1980 Summer Olympics took place, is right below, across the Moskva River. Next to it is the Novodevichy Convent, with its Naryshkin Baroque towers.
The platform for the porteur rack I'm going to build for the midlifecrisismobileproject bike. The elegant rubber band holding the back together is making up for the tiny detail that I've not yet finished filing out the recesses in the center beams so they'll nestle nicely into the rim.
The checkmark-shaped piece on the lower left corner is going to be a light holder for the IQ Cyo I scrounged (I bought it, but with money I earned stripping things out of my basement and selling them on ebay) for the mlcm.
Welp, guess it's time to learn how to braze.
A small platform has been built inside the Museum area and features a Semaphore Home Signal, Fire Buckets and lamp brackets.

I made this little plywood tripod platform for my Brownies and other cameras which have no tripod socket. Can't do long exposures without a tripod!
To make it, i bought:
1/4-20 nut
small brass wood screws
a sheet of black closed-cell foam (from a craft store)
a small scrap of 1/4 inch plywood
I cut a small rectangle of plywood 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" and then drilled a hole in it that was slightly smaller in diameter than the 1/4-20 nut. Next, i mashed the nut into the hole using a vise. I sanded the little nut panel and then i applied some super-glue to the bottom of it (including the nut) and then screwed it to the larger panel, which is 4 1/4" x 5 3/4". I sanded the edges of the larger panel and screwed in the four outer screws, leaving them sticking out about 1/8". (These are for securing rubber bands.) Last i glued on a piece of black foam to finish off the top and to provide a bit of grip for the cameras.
This project was inspired by Mike Barnes' "Plastic Pod Partner" article on toycamera.com, although i ended up using a different approach.
