A pregame flyover of A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft (aka “Warthogs”) based out of the 122d Fighter Wing in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Prior to the home opener game vs the Minnesota Vikings, 09-15-19 at the famed Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin USA.
Note that the stadium clock is set 15 minutes fast, aka “Lombardi Time”.
In his day, Coach Vince Lombardi expected his players and coaches to be 15 minutes early to meetings and practices. Not “on time”, but 15 minutes early. If they were not 15 minutes early, he considered them to be “late”. Thus, it came to be known as “Lombardi time”.
I rummaged in my pictures and I found a nice one from Langkawi/Malaysia in 2009..
I'll be there again this year.. :)

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force to provide close air support (CAS) of ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles and other ground targets with a limited air interdiction capability. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.
The A-10's official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a fighter that was particularly effective at close air support. The A-10 is more commonly known by its nickname "Warthog" or simply "Hog".[3] As a secondary mission, it provides airborne forward air control, guiding other aircraft against ground targets. A-10s used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.[4]
On a Monday morning during a fantastic breakfast at the seaside the sky turned dark and the wind started to blow strong, followed by a sudden thunderstorm. Most of the guests in the small cafe were amazed by this and took their cameras as the sunny moment suddenly turned immediately into a big storm.
When it was over I also decided to take my camera and to show these two guys looking after the storm.

People often ask me why I would want to go to Oshkosh, WI for an airshow. They ask "What's it all about?".
Here's what it's all about...and then some!...and more...and more...and more!
Shown is the exquisite P-47D "Bonnie", one of the star performers at this year's AirVenture in Oshkosh.

Have landed after the display the Thunderbold taxied back past us. This aircraft would have weighed about 8 tons fully loaded with fuel and weapons in wartime, the supercharger has been removed from this one, the extra power is not required anymore and saves about a ton in weight which mean less stress on the airframe.
Aside from going to BFVA this year, I also went to the US Airforce Museum in Dayton Ohio, which I can highly recommend.
Gewitter
Der Mond verbirgt sein bleiches Licht,
die Sterne am Himmel, sie (p)funkeln nicht.
Die Nacht ist sch(e)wül.
Im Herzen wird band.
Der Uhu krächzt einen Totengesang.
Da - bricht`s aus schwarzer Nacht hervor,
äls wäre geöffnet der Hölle Tor,
als ständen die Säulen des Erdballs in Flammen,
äls stürze das ganze Weltall zusammen,
und aus der Wolken feuchtem Schoß
der Regen in Strömen sich ringsum ergoss,
als wollten des Wassers wilde Gewalten
das Land zum unendlichen Meere gestalten.
Und wie es stürmt und brandet und kracht,
da, eine Jungfrau tritt hinaus in die Nacht
und ruft in die tosenden Winde hinaus:
"Na, das ist ein Dreckwetter, da bleib ich zuhaus!"

This Sherman M4A3 tank of the 11th armoured ' Thunderbold ' Division was destroyed on December 30, 1944 in the surroundings of the hamlet Renuamont and is currently standing on the Place McAuliffe in Bastogne.
I sure loved this job - help desk technician at a roughly 90% Mac organization (of roughly 2,000 machines). Here I was building new disk images on the new Thunderbold machines (well, new at the time this was taken).
This mosaic which was found during the zeugma excavations sin1992 long before Zeugma became a current issue, became the symbol of Zeugma because of the mysterious look she had in her eyes.Wheeeeeeen it could not be identified it got named “Gypsy” because of the women’s resemblance with gypsies. But some sources draw attention to the winein the mosaic and claim that it is GAIA the Goddess of the Earth. Ýn Mythology it is considered that GAIA is the first element allgod’s ancestors have derived from.Although GAIA has a major role in Hesiodos’s Theogonia, it is never seen in Homeros’s poems.According to Heiodos GAIA without a male element gave birth to the sky’Ouranos) and the mountains and also Pantos the personalized element of the sea.After the birth of the sky GAIA coupled with him and therefore all her children became real Gods and were not just simple elements of power first six titans Okeanos,Koios Krios.Hyperion,Ýapetus and Kronos and six ttitanids; Theia, Reia, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoibe, Tehys were born. All of these are feminene Godlike creatures.The youngest one of this generation is Kronos.Ýt was followed by Kyklops.These were godlike creatures that ruled the thunder, Lightning, thunderbold,There names were; Arges, Steropes and Brontes.And at last from Ouranos’s loves gigentic Hekatogkheirs were born.They were much for violance and hand hundred arms.
