Looking down at hootches from the top of the microwave tower. Camp Eagle, Vietnam. 1971. I worked in the control center bunker at the base of the tower as a fixed station technical controller (MOS 32D20).

This is on the side of the building across the street from my office. I love this point of view for this thing. He looks mad, and looks like he's ready to pounce. Very dramatic to my eye. One of the joys about working downtown is being able to walk around at lunch and find cool things to photograph.
The village of Haworth in the heart of West Yorkshire's Bronte Country is famous (amongst other things) for hosting a very special 1940s weekend.
This years this year’s theme will be “Airborne” to commemorate the incredible bravery and sacrifice of the airborne allied forces
The event usually involves locals and visitors alike getting togged up in 1940s gear to enjoy a wide range of nostalgic events, which often include a RAF vintage plane flypast, a morale boosting visit from "Sir Winston Churchill" - as well as spivs peddling their wares and authentic swing jive and Lindy Hop dancing being performed both in the streets during the day and at specially arranged dances which are held at local dance halls and pubs in the evenings.
Haworth village is situated at the edge of the Pennine moors in West Yorkshire, England, the area made famous by the Bronte sisters, known as Bronte country. Haworth is first mentioned as a settlement in 1209. The name may refer to a hedged enclosure or hawthorn enclosure. The name was recorded as Howorth on a 1771 map.

All the things they say about the FXR are true. Designed by Erik Buell to outperform the jap bikes the FXR was the best handling, most rigid, and lightest frame Harley ever made. The frame was very expensive to make and H-D decided to switch to a cheaper mass produced FXD/Dyna which is still used today. Many weekend bikers today do not even know what an fxr is until it passes them in a curve. As Harleys get more and more expensive they continue to use the Dyna frame. Profits are soaring because Harley sells really pretty yet poor handling bikes. The FXR represents the last of the "American Quality" that true old school bikers take great pride in.
Fernando, aquí tienes la foto que querías del DC-3. Como puedes ver, no está en la mejor posición y es complicado sacarlo entero.
Este DC-3 antes de iniciar su carrera como avión comercial fué un C-47A. Poco antes de la medianoche del 5 de junio de 1944 partió de Exeter, Inglaterra, rumbo a la costa normanda cargado de paracaidistas de la 101 aerotransportada, las aguilas chillonas (Screaming Eagles). Fué operación preludio del día D. El DC-3 fué el avión que consiguió que las aerolíneas pudieran ganar dinero sin necesidad de los subsidios del gobierno por transportar correo.

Église Saint-Côme-et-Saint-Damien - Angoville-au-Plain, Normandy, France
D-day and the battle of Normandy produced a lot of heroes and many a great story but few come close to the story of the two medics who saved some 80 lives in the little hamlet of Angoville-au-plain.
When the paratroopers of the 82 "All American" and 101 "Screaming Eagles" division landed during the night before D-day they landed scattered all over the Cotentin peninsula to secure roads and bridges and disrupt German defenses in aid of the landings at Utah that were to start at 06:30 on the following morning: june 6th, 1944. D-day.
501 PIR (Klondikes) and 506 PIR of the Screaming Eagles were dropped in dropzone D near Sainte Marie du Mont to secure the roads from Utah inland. 506th PIR of course became very famous because it's E-Company was later immortalized in the Band of Brothers series! Two medics of batallion B of the 501st, T5 Robert Wright (click for picture) and pvt. Kenneth Moore, landed near the tiny village of Angoville-au-Plain.
Together with a lieutenant (Ed Allworth) they set up an improvised field hospital in the church as the battle was raging all around them and wounded men were in desperate need of first aid.
By nightfall on D-day they had assembled some 80 wounded soldiers, both allied and German, and one 4 year old infant from the village in the church of Angoville-au-Plain. Moore remembered: "Two of our casualties died. But among those I could tend, none lost their lives. I tended all sorts of wounds, some were skin deep but others were more serious abdominal cases.”
As the village was about to be re-taken by the Germans the lieutenant left them in order not to compromise their medical status and when the Germans (also paratroopers, from the 6th parachute regiment) entered the village and saw the medics were helping Americans and Germans alike they left their wounded, medical supplies and a red cross flag on the church. The medics even got a new assistant when a German soldier turned up to surrender - he had been hiding in the belltower!
The village changed hands several times during the next days (and came under fire from the Allied forces repeatedly!) until finally on june 8 the battle here was over and the church became the HQ of Rober F. Sink, commander of the 506th PIR. Two exhausted medics who saved many lives were finally releaved. For their heroic efforts in saving 80 lives under unimaginable conditions both Kenneth Moore and Robert Wright were awarded the Silver Star.
Nowadays the hamlet of Angoville-au -plain is easily missed: just one small roads leads to it but it is well worth a visit - if only to pay respect to some of the bravest men that started the liberation of Europe more then 75 years ago. The church still has the blood stains of the wounded men on the church benches. The intersection beside the church and cemetery was renamed “Place Toccoa” after the paratroopers’ training camp in Georgia.
Robert E. Wright kept a lifelong bond with the people of Angoville-au-plain. In 2002 he returned to unveil a monument here and when he passed away in 2013 his ashes on his request were buried next to the church.

PATRIOTISM, BABY!

Seen at the Rides on Monmouth Car Show in Newport Kentucky. Steve was showing his very nice Screaming Eagle Harley Davidson V Rod in front of his store, Jewel King Jewelers. He was very personable and eager to have his picture taken in front of his bike while seemingly impersonating Elvis. Who could resist?
Another snatched shot at an unknown level crossing somewhere in South Louisiana not far from New Orleans. Missouri Pacific U30C 2977, built in 1969 as Texas & Pacific 972, and another unknown locomotive power past with a freight train. Note the MP Eagle logo from a design by Raymond Loewy.
I don't quite understand why the colour light signals on the left seem to be turned away from the tracks. Maybe there was another line lost in the undergrowth. From the rails running from that corrugated hut on the right I assume it must have housed some kind of track vehicle.
From 1982 Missouri Pacific was merged with the Union Pacific and Western Pacific Railroad companies. MP retained its corporate identity until it finally disappeared completely in 1997.
Anymore information on this engine or location (??) would be greatly appreciated.
Sitting in the Dakota Southern yard in Chamberlain, South Dakota is the ex Missouri Pacific Jordan Spreader X238. Originally built in 1928, Serial Number 713 and rebuilt various times after. Here is a link to a MP 1978 Drawing trainweb.org/screamingeagle/other/eklepzig/MPdsDia675.jpg

Today an American Hero died (11/29/2010). When W.W.II started Bill lied about his age so he could go fight for his country. He became a member of the 101st. Airborn and jumped into a number of major battles. When the weather was so bad the planes couldn't fly, his outfit was trucked into and fought at the famous Battle of the Bulge. Still a teenager he was assigned to help guard the Eagles Nest. When Korea started, Bill was still jumping out of perfectly good airplanes for the 101st. On his last drop, he noticed several "gentlemen" on the ground shooting at him. His weapon was a Thompson so he decided to return the favor, so he opened fire. He was hit once. He popped in another mag and fired until he was completely out of ammo. He managed to kill one of them. Then he was hit the second time. He received the Purple Heart and several other Decorations, but would never talk about them.
I'm lucky enough to have known Bill since 1997 when he affiliated with Paradise Valley Silver Trowel #29, F&AM, Phoenix, Arizona.
I was going to take this picture down, then I decided to leave it up. People need to see what a Hero look like and Bill was the real deal. So my dear friend, good-bye for now. You will always be remembered and for the last time, I thank you for your service.

The Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) is a large species of bird of prey that breeds from southeastern Europe to central Asia. Most populations are migratory and winter in northeastern Africa, and southern and eastern Asia. The Spanish Imperial Eagle, found in Spain and Portugal, was formerly lumped with this species, the name Imperial Eagle being used in both circumstances. However, the two are now regarded as separate species due to significant differences in morphology, ecology and molecular characteristics.
The Eastern Imperial Eagle is a large eagle with a length of 72–84 cm (28–33 in), a wingspan of 1.8–2.16 m (5.9–7.1 ft) and a weight of 2.45–4.55 kilograms (5.4–10.0 lb). Females are about a quarter larger than males. It closely resembles the Spanish Imperial Eagle, but has far less white to the "shoulder" and it is slightly larger.In Europe, the Eastern Imperial Eagle is threatened with extinction. It has nearly vanished from many areas of its former range, e.g. Hungary and Austria. Today, the only European populations are increasing in the Carpathian basin, mainly the northern mountains of Hungary and the southern region of Slovakia. The breeding population in Hungary consists of about 105 pairs. There are many Eastern Imperial Eagle nests in the Bulgaria/Greece section of the European Green Belt (the uncultivated belt along the former Iron Curtain.}
The monarchy of Austria-Hungary once chose the Imperial Eagle to be its heraldic animal, but this did not help this bird. The eagle's preferred habitat is open country with small woods; unlike many other species of eagle, it does not generally live in mountains, large forests or treeless steppes.Eastern Imperial Eagles generally prefer to construct a nest in a tree which is not surrounded by other trees, so that the nest is visible from a considerable distance, and so that the occupants may observe the surroundings unobstructed. Tree branches are taken in order to build the nest, which is upholstered with grass and feathers. Very rarely it nests on cliffs or the ground. In March or April the female lays two to three eggs. The chicks hatch after about 43 days and leave the nest after 60–77 days. Often, however, only one will survive to leave the nest, with the others dying before becoming fully fledged. In at least a part of its range, more than a third of all nesting attempts are entirely unsuccessful. The Eastern Imperial Eagle feeds mainly on European Hares, European Hamsters and Common Pheasants as well as a variety of other birds and mammals.

Brighouse town centre and shops were transformed.
The whole town centre became the venue for a host of 1940’s events and displays from Spitfires to vintage vehicles, from home cooking to 1940’s dress and make up.
By the time I was loaded up, I had 100 pounds of gear. I was given an M-16 and two bandoliers of ammo. Each bandolier held 7 boxes of 20 each 5.56 ammo rounds. We all carried as box of M-60 ammo also for the machine gunner, 200 rounds of 7.62. The machine gunner could not carry enough ammo on his own; 200 rounds could last less than a minute of firing. We also all carried five hand grenades, and several smoke grenades. The smoke grenades were used for signaling helicopters when needed. Everyone carried a stick of C-4 plastic explosive. This was used in case we had to create a quick LZ (Landing Zone) by blowing down trees. Every night we set up Claymore mines around our perimeter, so everyone was carrying a Claymore with clacker (the device to set-off the blasting caps in the Claymore) and wire. We would also set up trip flares at night, so carried a couple of them with trip wire. Since it rained a lot, particularly in the monsoon season, everyone also had a poncho and poncho liner, and a change of socks. The plan was to be resupplied every 3 to 4 days, so we were each given a box of C-rations containing 12 meals. A used M-60 ammo box was used for your P-box. This box contained our personal items, usually paper for writing letters, letters received while in the bush, photos we carried, toiletries, anything you did not want to get wet since it has a water tight seal. All this was packed in a rucksack with water canteens tied to the side; and topped with a steel pot helmet and helmet liner. To stand-up with a fully loaded rucksack, I had to get on my knees first and then stand-up.
Camp Eagle was the base camp where I was stationed while in Vietnam. It is in Quang Tri Provence, north of Phu Bai. It was near the old capital city of Hue. I was in the 63rd Signal Battalion in microwave communications support for the 101st Airborne Rangers.

I walked point for the first five months I was in Vietnam with Delta Company, 3rd Platoon. Shortly after I started, I was given a scout to work with me, Vo Bihn. This was a staged photo; I did not carry M-60 machine gun ammo belts around my neck. We all carried extra M-60 ammo for the machine gunner, but in ammo boxes in our ruck sacks. Plus I don't remember wearing the helmet while walking point. It was usually carried on top my ruck sack.
He doesn't defend anything else in this nation, but he sure protects that flag!
