On May 1, 1960, U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers was shot down by the Soviets over Sverdlovsk. He spent 21 months in a Russian prison. In 1962 Powers was exchanged for Soviet intelligence officer Col. Rudolf Abel. Abel had been arrested in New York in 1957. This is one of two U-2 models crafted for Powers. CIA model makers made this for his March 1962 Senate Armed Services Committee testimony about the downing of his aircraft. The wings and tail are detachable to show the aircraft's breakup after the shootdown.

The various antennae/ wires that are attached to the conning tower are the main reason why I ended up building a much larger diorama than I originally intended. By having a bow wave and a wave flowing over the deck aft of the tower, I had attachment points for these wires.
"U Pęcherza" (Pecherz's) is a café, art gallery and exhibition hall located in the 13/14th century cellars of Collegium Maius in Kraków.
Collegium Maius of the Krakow Academy, situated at the corner of Św. Anny and Jagiellońska Streets, is the oldest university edifice in Poland. Its history goes back to the year 1400, when King Ladislaus Jogaila purchased the Pęcherz family's corner house and donated it to the University. The actual walls of the Pęcherz house have been preserved in the cellars and on the side overlooking Jagiellońska Street. This is easily traceable by observing the wild-stone compositon, so typical of the 14th century. The house was not large and hardly could hold the University activities. During the 15th century Collegium Maius was extended. The University was able to purchase the houses contiguous to the College and to combine them into a harmonious whole, complete with a courtyard enclosed with a ring of arcades, interrupted with the professor's staircase, leading up to the first-floor balconies.

The EC-121 was designed primarily as an early warning aircraft protecting against Soviet air attack over the oceans. It was an aerial extension of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line. The aircraft has two large radomes, a vertical dome above and a horizontal one below the fuselage. As the Soviets developed ballistic missiles, the EC-121 role as an early warning aircraft became less important. However, it was used in a variety of strategic, tactical and special missions such as space capsule recovery, control of nuclear test areas, search and rescue, and command and control. The aircraft on display flew many combat missions during the Vietnam War. It was the last EC-121 radar surveillance and control aircraft to serve.

Chàng khắc khoải cho một mối tình lý tưởng ... còn nàng , chỉ giản dị là yêu !~
Đã bao giờ ấy kể cho tớ nghe về ấy ngày hôm qua chưa nhỉ ? - Có ...
... nhưng chỉ là những mảnh ghép không trọn vẹn ... Tớ không biết nhiều về cô ấy. chỉ biết ấy đã đặt trọn trái tim mình và kỳ vọng về một tình yêu bất diệt . Có gì đau lòng hơn khi yêu nhau mà không thể ở bên nhau ... ấy và cô ấy chia tay trong tiếc nuối ... trong sự day dứt của cô ấy và níu kéo của ấy ...
Khi yêu, ai cũng nghĩ tình yêu đó là duy nhất ... tớ biết có một câu nói " tình yêu thì chỉ có một, những thứ tương tự tình yêu thì có rất nhiều" ...
Người đã ra đi ... ai cũng bâng khuâng hoài... có phải mình đã vuột mất tình yêu đích thực . Người đang bên cạnh , cũng chẳng ai biết được có phải là một nữa định mệnh của mình hay không ... thật khó định nghĩa được tình yêu ...
...vì chúng ta chỉ là những người thay thế của nhau trong cuộc sống này ...
.Chấp nhận và yêu thương để lấp đầy những khoảng trống trong tim nhau ... có khi hạnh phúc chỉ đơn giản là thế ...
Có thể cô ấy đúng là tình yêu đích thực của ấy chăng ... tình yêu ấy thật đẹp nhưng nó không còn hiện hữu ... ấy có thể đau... ấy có thể buồn nhưng không thể sống mãi với nó vì ấy đang tồn tại ... và ấy vẫn phải bước về phía trước. Vẫn đang có người đang đứng chờ ấy ở phía cuối đường.
Người bước cùng ấy có thể không phải là tình yêu ...( thì tớ đã nói ... tình yêu chỉ có một mà) ... là một tình yêu thay thế ... người đó không thể lấp đầy tất cả những hụt hẫng trong ấy ... chỉ là giúp ấy dần dần wen với những khoảng trống. Đối mặt cùng ấy trước những khó khăn ...chia sẽ với ấy những vấp ngả trong đời ... ôm chặt ấy khi ấy tuyệt vọng và chấp nhận là người thay thế để được ở bên ấy .Đó là người thật nhất, hiên hữu nhất trong cuộc sống của ấy.
Một ngày nào đó ... khi nhìn về quá khứ chắc ấy vẫn thấy loang loáng hình ảnh người con gái ấy tồn tại mãi theo dòng chảy của thời gian ... nhưng ... tin tớ đi ... giống như hình ảnh một người đã ra đi mãi mãi còn trong tâm trí người ở lại ... và chỉ có thế ... chỉ có thế thôi ...
Vẫn là giấc mơ ấy ... tớ lại mơ mình là gió ... mang chiếc lá héo hon trên cành bay đi ...
Ấy có biết không ... lời thề của gió ...
... khi chiếc lá rơi xuống cũng là khi gió ngừng thổi và tan vào hư vô ...
Nếu có thể đưa tay tớ nắm
Ta sẽ cùng nhau đi suốt cuộc đời
Chẳng phải tình nhân, chẳng thành bè bạn
Ấy là ấy , tớ là tớ thôi .. ......
P.s : Giật mình nỗi nhớ ai không sao ngủ đ.c :( . Đã bảo đừng nhớ rồi cơ mà T___T Sao trái tim khó bảo thế :((

U.S. Army Africa commander meets South African military leaders
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa
VICENZA, Italy – Shortly after Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III’s aircraft touched down at Johannesburg’s Tambo International Airport, he was shaking hands with Brig. Gen. Chris Gildenhuys, commanding general of the South African Army Armour Formation. The two officers last met in Monterey, Calif., during a July 2009 bi-lateral conference sponsored by the U.S. military.
In a sign of U.S. Army Africa’s growing relationship with South Africa, it was now South Africa’s turn to host the commander of U.S. Army Africa.
“Organizations don’t collaborate, people do,” Garrett said. “This visit is an invaluable opportunity to strengthen the relationship between our Army and the South African Army.”
On March 7th, Garrett flew to South Africa for a weeklong tour, marking his first visit to that country. In the days to follow, Gildenhuys escorted Garrett to meet South Africa’s senior army leaders and tour South Africa’s key military installations near Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Cape Town.
In Pretoria, Garrett stopped at the U.S. Embassy to meet with U.S. Ambassador Donald H. Gips and the Deputy Chief of Mission, Ambassador Helen La Lime. Then, at South Africa’s army headquarters, Garrett spoke with Lt. Gen. Solly Zacharia Shoke, chief of the South Africa’s army, about transformation efforts underway in South Africa’s army. Garrett shared recent accomplishments of U.S. Army Africa soldiers and civilians, who work with the land forces of many African nations to strengthen mutual security capacity and capabilities.
At South Africa’s Joint Operations Headquarters, Garrett met with Rear Admiral Phillip Schoultz, Director General for Joint Operations and Acting Chief for Joint Operations who discussed his nation’s peacekeeping efforts. Afterward, Garrett met with officers at the South African Army College. While visiting the 43rd South African Brigade headquarters, Garrett met with Brig. Gen. Lawrence Smith and observed preparation for training under the U.S. State Department-led African Contingency Operations Training and Assistance program. Then, Garrett stopped at South Africa’s army engineer formation headquarters for a series of information briefings.
“We have a lot to learn from the South African Army,” Garrett said. “We will use that knowledge to update the U.S. Army’s training and doctrine while enhancing interoperability between our forces.”
The next day, Garrett flew from Waterkloof Air Force Base on Pretoria’s outskirts to Bloemspruit Air Force Base near Bloemfontein. He toured South Africa’s armor school and visited the 44th Parachute Regiment. From Bloemfontein, Garrett flew to Ysterplaat Air Force Based near Cape Town to learn more about South Africa’s reserve forces at Fort Ikapa , followed by a visit to South Africa’s joint tactical headquarters at Western Cape.
U.S. Army Africa has already seen how senior leader engagements can quickly develop into beneficial training opportunities.
In March 2009, Command Sgt. Maj. Earl Rice – then U.S. Army Africa’s senior enlisted leader – visited South Africa’s Special Forces headquarters, a visit conducted with representatives from the U.S. Army Ranger Training Brigade. Within a few weeks, U.S. soldiers got a taste of hardcore South African special forces training. Three Army NCOs underwent a grueling three-week survival course in the South African bush, learning valuable lessons on adapting to the harsh environment, maintaining endurance and overcoming nearly insurmountable challenges—tools they carried back to their units.
Meanwhile, U.S. Army Africa is increasing its capacity building efforts in Africa through a continuing series of senior leader engagements, part of the command’s strategy to expand cooperative relationships and develop enduring partnerships across the continent. Senior leader engagements are a traditional tool used by Army leaders to enhance capacity building efforts.
Leaders use these engagements to gain better regional understanding and insights while encouraging follow-on initiatives such as military-to-military familiarization events and combined exercises and training opportunities.
In July 2009, Garrett was among several U.S. Department of Defense leaders who sat down with South African Ministry of Defense officers during the 11th annual U.S.-RSA Defense Committee meeting in Monterey. While at the bi-lateral conference, military leaders discussed policy, familiarization events, military support to combating HIV/AIDS, plus education and training opportunities for military members.
Several military-to-military familiarization events in 2010 are already being planned, in coordination with U.S. military officers at the U.S. Embassy in South Africa. These events include officer and NCO professional development activities, a leader exchange program, and various engagement activities including military medicine, military police, facilities management and helicopter operations.
The New York National Guard leads cooperative military efforts with South Africa under the State Partnership Program. Upcoming SPP engagements include events involving senior enlisted leaders, military police and chaplains.
“This visit will strengthen the relationship with our South African colleagues,” Garrett said. “Our task now is to expand this relationship into an enduring partnership between the U.S. Army and the South African Army.”
