This Sikorsky MH-60T from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod arrived shortly after a storm blew through EAA AirVenture 2016 on Wednesday, July 27.
Sporting a "chrome yellow" paint scheme, this Jayhawk attempts to replicate paint schemes worn by United States Coast Guard helicopters in the late '40s and early '50s.
This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
A short hop back nine years this week. In December 2007 Dublin Bus introduced into service the second batch of Enviro 500s. The first batch of twenty had been delivered in 2005 and went to Donnybrook. The second batch of fifty initially went to Phibsborough and appeared on a number of routes of that garage. These differed from the first batch by having a wider front door and LED destination displays. VT 25 is seen on Hawkins Street which was the then terminus for Blanchardstown routes. A few short years later it was transferred to Donnybrook as part of the VT 21-35 batch to supplement the other VTs on the 46A and 145. Dublin is one of the few cities in the world to operate the tri-axle Enviro 500s. 14/1/2007
Last one I swear :p so the bottom left picture is my throwback 2 years ago competing at the Junior Olympics/Nationals meet in the 100 and 200 meter hurdles. The top two pictures are 4x4 and 4x1 and the bottom right is when I went to state in the 4x1 with 2 seniors and a sophomore. I also run the 100m, 200m, if I have to... Hurdles. I do long jump and Javelin. This post was inspired by THE J0KER. So thank you! I have three more years in high school track and field and that means I'll always be busy ish In February to June. Anyways hope you'll enjoy! Oh and if anyone does track, comment below!
In a university production, I'm country bumpkin Tony Lumpkin in Oliver Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer" The guy on the left stuck with acting and went on to modest success in various TV series. The year was 1963.
Concentration piece #10 (for now)
An old pipe.
I'm not sure where this pipe came from, nor whom it came from. Heck, I don't even know who the face is supposed to be. I do know, however, that it is one awesome looking pipe, so I felt the urge to get some shots of it! Something about it just seems magical in my eyes...

This week we are going back nineteen years to 2006, and to RA 186 on O'Connell Street displaying route 14 to Ballinteer.
Route 14 started running (as a bus route) between the city centre and Dartry in 1948. From 1953 its northern terminus was moved to Annamoe Road, before reaching the Phoenix Park in 1955. In the same year it reached Churchtown on the southside. Around 1988 it was cut back on the northside to the city centre, and in 1995 it reached Ballinteer. Around 2005 it was extended to Dundrum. In 2011 it was merged with route 20B under Network Direct, and it became a cross-city route from Ardlea Road (Beaumont) to Dundrum. The city centre routing took it along Eden Quay instead of O'Connell Street.
RA 186 was new to Dublin Bus in 1994. It was withdrawn in late-2006, and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

A Manhattan-bound Q train arrives at Beverley Rd station, sporting the diamond Q bullet used during the Manhattan Bridge reconstruction, when the Q was the only train running on the Brighton Line. Since it was both a local and express service operating at the same times it fit the criteria for a diamond bullet to differentiate the two. This is the current criteria for a diamond bullet, which is why the <6> and <7> are currently in use, but not the <5>.

This week we are going back thirty-seven years to KC 3, parked in Phibsborough Garage.
This bus was new to CIE in 1984. Whereas KC 1 was built by FFG in Hamburg, and KC 2 was built in Bombardier, KC 3 was the first KC built by GAC who also build the rest of the fleet, up to KC 202. KC 3 was initially allocated to Cork, before moving up to Dublin Although the bus did operate in passenger service, it did spend some time as a driver training bus. As a result it gained a second mirror behind the door for the instructor to use. The bus was withdrawn by Dublin Bus from service in the late-1990s.
Phibsboro Garage opened in 1971, built on part of the old railway yard at Broadstone Station. That station closed to passenger traffic in 1937, and closed completely in 1961. The station complex is currently home to the Bus Eireann main depot, and more recently a Dublin Bus depot.

This week we are going back thirty-five years to 1988 and to LD 1 in St. Stephen's Green on route 44. This bus was a Leyland Olympian demonstrator sent to Dublin Bus for evaluation, along with an MCW Metrobus. Even though the latter went to the effort of painting their bus in Dublin Bus livery, the Olympian eventually won out. Dublin Bus went on to order 640 Olympians, delivered between 1990 and 1999, with the final one withdrawn in 2012. The Dublin Bus vehicles did have a different body style though compared to that of the demonstrator. LD 1 went on to the Isle of Man before reaching Solent Blue Line in Southampton in 1990. In 2008 it moved to York Pullman and it seems around 2012 it was withdrawn, though still existed in some form in 2017.
The DUTC started running route 44 between the city centre and Enniskerry in 1936. In 2012, Dublin Bus extended it to Larkhill replacing route 3 on the northside. In 2014 it was extended slightly further to Dublin City University (DCU).
