A flock of Semipalmated Plovers (at least that's what I believe they are) put on quite the show over the tidal waters of the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. They performed wingtip to wingtip maneuvers with uncanny precision. I'm not sure why they were flying around like this, other than possibly because they could.
the Precision is a design-study model that Acura says “literally will shape the direction of all future Acura products.”

Another shot from last weekend's OffShoot outing to the Petit Volant circus and performing arts centre in Sandyford, Dublin.
"I believe there’s nothing like flying. Dancing and playing in the air provide a unique feeling of freedom, peace and accomplishment. I also believe that circus is for everyone, regardless of age, gender or size. It’s a place for collective joy, where the limits are our imagination.
Our aerial circus classes provide everyone with the opportunity to experience something truly distinctive. You will develop many acrobatic skills, work out your body and, at the same time, let your mind fly to places you’ve never imagined could exist. You will build up your confidence, team work and social skills. Oh yes, because you will never be alone… Flying is a collective experience, just look up at the sky and you will understand what I mean."
Mari Rampazzo, Petit Volant owner

7.62x63mm special precision rifle.
A long-range interdiction weapon developed by Barton Precision Industries, intended to supplement the Arctic Warfare line of sniper rifles then currently in service with many police forces stationed in New Haven.
Thanks to its lightweight precision parts, the Talon is extremely accurate at long ranges, yet very light despite its size. In addition, the 7.62x63mm rounds it chambers pack a heavy punch, allowing accurate operators to silence their targets with ease.
However, purchasing and maintaining this weapon is a whole different matter, as the proprietary parts required for this weapon are quite expensive.
Other features include ergo grips and a built-in bipod.

Installation of 7 steel cables for a new wood chips conveyor system. Each cable was about 700 meters long. Flying at extremely low altitude and in real "slow motion" above a large industrial site requires maximim precision. Only most experienced pilots will be permitted to such a job. This mission was completed in 4 hours, a conventional intallation on the ground would have taken several days.

Precision National Corporation SD24 6335 on the ICG at Markham, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1959 as Southern SD24 2516 ( c/n 25612 ) on EMD Order 5606, it was renumbered by the Southern in 1972 to 6335, sold to PNC during January 1978, and leased out by PNC. This unit was not rebuilt, but scrapped by PNC.
The Blue Angels practicing for the upcoming air show in Vero Beach. I used to photograph them, and the Thunderbirds, from outside Andrews AFB every year. I'm always amazed. I have yet, though, to actually attend an airshow. Maybe next time.

Its beak went through one into another flower right behind. Slight breeze helped creating painting effect with the grass movement in the background.
The practise it takes to get these tricks perfect. I see these guys practising for hours at a time.

First off, I would like to say that I am very behind with uploading photos, and it's only going to get worse as I start my new job in the next few weeks. But anyways, it's the middle of the night in Pewaukee,WI as CP 581 sits tied down with a now solo NS EMD SD80MAC, a recrew showed up at about 2300, took the second unit to eastwards to Rondout, and left the Mac here dead in the water. Even as of now, this train has yet to move an inch
