a long time ago it was a gift-
to see and hear every strain of static,
and to slip through untouched and untouchable phantom.
but there's the occasional snare and tangle-
the sound too beautiful not to hear,
the sight too powerful to turn away from-
a million or so feathered gods
scatter overhead-
a cacophony of skyline dispersion,
a dream in sweetest disguise.
and it all fades to snow on the television,
the rustle in the late-night a.m. radio tunings...
So, I catch very few of these in flight, but I did manage to pick up on this one hanging out…. literally…. over Horsepen Bayou. He/she did show off beautifully on this particular day and stuck around until I had to reach for the paddle to make some adjustments to the path of the canoe.

Staff Sgt. Daniel Guy makes his way to the ground Aug. 21, 2013 after jumping from a C-130 Hercules over Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. Air Force static line capability falls under the personnel parachute program. Jumpers are first qualified during a three-week long basic airborne course at Ft. Benning, Ga., and then continue to work on their jumping proficiency and qualifications after they return here. Guy is the 736th Security Forces Squadron fire team leader.

G-BOAD - BAC/Aerospatiale Concorde 102 - British Airways
on static display at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, New York
c/n 210 first flew on 25 August 1976 from Filton. Repainted with Singapore Airlines livery on the left side and British Airways livery on the right for a joint service by the two airlines between Bahrain and Singapore International Airport at Paya Lebar for three months in 1977, and from 1979 to 1981. This aircraft also set the fastest Atlantic crossing by any Concorde on 7 February 1996, taking off from New York JFK and landing in London Heathrow 2 hours, 52 minutes, and 59 seconds later. It departed from Heathrow for the final time on 10 November 2003, and flew to JFK airport in New York, from where it was then transferred (on a barge originally used to move Space shuttle external fuel tanks), to the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, New York (USA), past the Statue of Liberty and up the Hudson River. Its engines were removed to reduce weight. Its temporary home was on a barge alongside the aircraft carrier Intrepid, pending the proposed creation of a quayside display hall; however, in December 2006, this Concorde was moved to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, where it was kept in poor conditions. G-BOAD's nose cone was knocked off by a truck at the end in June 2008. The damage was repaired and subsequently the aircraft was moved back to Pier 86 in Manhattan (and placed on the pier, rather than on a barge) on 20 October 2008. G-BOAD spent more time in the air than any other Concorde at 23,397 hours. G-BOAD was incorporated into the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in 2008.
