#BOE Flyover

SUPERFLY'S OFFSPRING

So Narcisa took out Superfly's first and only baby out for a ride today. A first ride some might say, as he hasn't been ridden before other than in lunge with someone holding the lunge, and someone sitting on his back giving no physical ques, only verbal. But today seemed to be the day for Flyover aka. Flyer, as Narcisa decided to take him out on her own, bringing him to the show jumping arena, as the other arenas was occupied for the moment or too busy or not fit for such a young pony as Flyer.

Flyer being used to only verbal ques, Narcisa decided that that was the road to go down today. At first she shorted the reins a little, but that seemed to be something that Flyer didn't like or wasn't ready for, so she loosened them again, him calming down a little, though still being slightly grumpy.

He is a good boy, though he was kinda moody today, so Narcisa just took it slow and let him set the pace. Soon after he seemed to calm down, and let Narcisa ride him around the arena using only her weight and verbal ques. That seemed to please the young stallion, and he moved around easily, not quite used to her using her weight to move him, but comfortable enough in being with his favorite human.

The day ended bareback with no reins or anything, as Flyer is used to follow Narcisa around. She has trained him to that since he was a young colt, and does always follow her lead. They have such an incredible bond, and she loves taking care of him just as he loves being around her.

This picture is of Narcisa giving him a great big hug, before leading him to his pasture, again ropeless. Those two just trust each other to no end.

I work for an airline in flight ops, and I was working that night, and let me tell you it was WILD. But yeah you can technically do a barrel roll in any plane, since a proper barrel roll is a 1g maneuver. There's video of a test pilot rolling a Boeing 707 during a flyover.

Wasn't that the plot of that Denzel Washington movie?

On Thursday, in honor of the country and its citizens, several types of IAI aircraft will fly over dozens of cities and towns, from the north to the south

IsraelDefense | 14/04/2021 srael Aerospace Industries (IAI) announced Tuesday that it will hold a festive flyover to salute the State of Israel and its citizens on the country’s 73rd Independence Day. The flyover will take place on Thursday, April 15, between 12:00 and 14:30.

It is the first time for IAI to hold such a flyover since 1988. Flyovers by the Israeli Air Force are an iconic feature of the country's annual Independence Day celebrations.

According to IAI, the flyover will boast some of IAI’s most advanced aircraft, including the Boeing 777-300 ER, which serves as a prototype in a new conversion process, making IAI the first company to convert airplanes of this model; the Boeing 767, a high-demand model that doubled its conversion lines this year and has just completed the conversion into cargo process; and two G280 executive jets, which IAI manufactures for Gulfstream.

IAI said that the flyover will pass over the following areas: Ashdod; Yavne; Tel-Aviv – Jaffa; Herzliya; Netanya; Hadera; Pardes Hanna-Karkur; Umm al Fahm; Afula, Afula Ilit; Tiberias; Carmiel; Jadeidi-Makr; Acre; Jerusalem (including the Knesset building); Ma’ale Adumim; Masada; Arad; Dimona; and Yeruham.

Boeing B-29 Superfortress "Fifi"

For the 70th Anniversary of Victory in Europe, there was a massive WWII warbird flyover of Washington D.C. called "The Arsenal of Democracy". All "the heavies" operated out of Manassas Regional Airport and we were able to go see them. Fifi is one of only two flying B-29 Superfortresses left in the world, the other being newly-restored Doc. Here Fifi is on final appoach for Runway 16L.

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was an important bomber flown by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. It was one of the largest aircraft operational during World War II and featured state of the art technology. It was the single most expensive weapons project undertaken by America during World War II, exceeding the cost of the Manhattan Project by between 1 and 1.7 billion dollars! Innovations introduced included a pressurized cabin, dual-wheeled, tricycle landing gear, and an analog computer-controlled fire-control system that directed four remote machine gun turrets that could be operated by a single gunner and a fire-control officer. One of the B-29's final roles during World War II was carrying out the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were responsible for bringing the war in the Pacific to an end in 1945. Total B-29 production came to 3,970 aircraft.

Boeing EA-18G Growler Flyover by David G. Schultz Via Flickr: Most of the dedicated airborne electronic attack equipment is mounted in the space that used to house the internal 20 mm cannon and on the wingtips. Nine weapons stations remain free to provide for additional weapons or jamming pods. The EA-18G can be fitted with up to five ALQ-99 jamming pods and will typically add two AIM-120 AMRAAM or AGM-88 HARM missiles.[

The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron conducted the last flight using its F/A-18 A/B/C/D Hornets on Wednesday. The aircraft, which the Blue Angels have flown for 34 years, will be replaced with F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets beginning with the team’s 2021 show season. The Hornets departed Florida’s Naval Air Station Pensacola at around 4 p.m. local time for a 30-minute flyover ranging from the Pensacola area to Alabama’s Fort Morgan.

“We are incredibly honored to have the opportunity to salute those teams who have flown, maintained and supported this platform for over three decades of service,” said U.S. Navy Blue Angels commanding officer and flight leader Cmdr. Brian Kesselring. “We deeply appreciate the expertise and operational knowledge Blue Angels past and present have brought to the team and we look forward to enhancing our operations as we fully transition to flying the Super Hornet.”

As previously reported by AVweb, the Navy awarded Boeing a $17 million contract to configure nine F/A-18E and two F/A-18F Super Hornets for the Blue Angels in August 2018. Converting the aircraft for use by the team includes modifications such as an oil tank for a smoke-generation system, fuel systems that enable the aircraft to fly inverted for an extended period of time and civilian-compatible navigation equipment. The first of the new Blue Angels Super Hornets was delivered to Maryland’s Naval Air Station Patuxent River for flight testing and evaluation last June.

Charlie auf Fuerteventura Teil 1: Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug

Heute musste ich erstmal um 6 Uhr morgens aufstehen, obwohl wir erst um 12 Uhr losgeflogen sind. Der Grund: Wir mussten erst noch nach Frankfurt fahren. Mit der Bahn. Aus mir unerfindlichen Gründen war sowohl unser Zug nach Mannheim als auch unser Anschlusszug zum Frankfurter Flughafen pünktlich. Allerdings sind zwei Züge ausgefallen, sodass sich mehrere Leute in unseren Zug gezwängt haben und vergeblich nach einem Platz gesucht haben. Wir hatten zum Glück reserviert.

Am Flughafen ging dann auch alles glatt (auch wenn wir gefühlt ein Dutzend Rolltreppen fahren mussten). Wir haben zuerst noch etwas gegessen, ich hab nen Tee getrunken. Tipp: In Terminal 2 hat man im zweiten Stock nen super Ausblick. Während bei uns am Flughafen vielleicht ein Mal die Stunde ein Flugzeug startet oder landet, kommt in Frankfurt fast jede Minute eins an - und das von fast jedem Typ und fast jeder Airline (außer vielleicht die, die in der EU Flugverbot haben). Dann haben wir unser Gepäck abgegeben und es ging auch recht schnell durch die Sicherheitskontrolle - sie mussten nur noch meine Schuhe extra kontrollieren, weil da Reißverschlüsse dran sind.

Ich war zuerst noch etwas enttäuscht, weil ich keinen A380 gesehen habe. Aber seht mal, was einfach an uns vorbei kam, während wir im Bus gewartet haben:

Und hier die 747, das zweitgrößte Passagierflugzeug.

Ein paar unnötige Flugzeugfakten: Wir sind mit einer 18 Jahre alten Boeing 737-800 geflogen, die früher Air Berlin gehört hat. Das ist mittlerweile mindestens das dritte Mal, dass ich mit einer 737 fliege und ich bin tatsächlich noch nie bewusst mit einem Airbus geflogen (obwohl ich Airbus besser finde, immerhin stellen sie mit dem A380 mein Lieblingsflugzeug her) - dafür aber mal mit einem De Havilland DHC-8 Propellerflugzeug von Air Berlin (R.I.P., da gab es wenigstens noch kostenloses Essen und das sogar auf der Kurzstrecke). Außerdem fliege ich zum fünften Mal nach Spanien und war noch nicht ein Mal auf dem Festland sondern immer nur auf den Kanaren.

Mein letzter Flug auf die Kanaren ist 15 Jahre her. Damals hieß TuiFly noch Hapag-Lloyd und es gab kostenloses Essen und Bordunterhaltung a.k.a ein Film und ein paar Radiosender, auf denen vier Stunden lang die gleichen 10 Songs liefen. Heute gibt es nichts mehr. Für Essen muss man bezahlen und es gibt überhaupt keine Bordunterhaltung mehr. Also hab ich mir einfach was zu Essen und ne Flasche Wasser am Flughafen gekauft. Ich hab dann trotzdem 2€ für ne Tasse Tee ausgegeben. Für den Preis krieg ich zu Hause zwar ne ganze Packung, aber ich brauche meinen Tee wie andere Leute ihren Kaffee.

Außerdem hatten wir nen Comfort-Seat gebucht (ich wusste gar nicht, dass wir das hatten) und die haben ne richtig tolle Beinfreiheit:

Unser Flug verlief relativ unspektakulär. Wir hatten zwar ein paar Turbulenzen, aber weil wir über der Tragfläche saßen, ging das noch, nicht schlimmer, als mit dem Auto über Schlaglöcher zu fahren. Das ist übrigens auch der Grund, wieso ich den Platz gewählt habe: Dort ist nämlich der Schwerpunkt des Flugzeugs, deswegen ist es dort am ruhigsten.

Weil es über Frankreich irgendwelche schwere Turbulenzen gab (zumindest stand das auf der Flugwetterkarte, die ich mir davor angesehen habe), sind wir ne andere Route geflogen, als sonst. Zuerst nach Westen über Luxemburg und Paris, dann etwas über den Atlantik und dann über Spanien und Portugal und nochmal den Atlantik.

Und nun eine kleine Galerie von Dingen, die ich aus dem Flugzeug gesehen habe:

Paris - irgendwo unter den Wolken

Berge im Picos de Europa Nationalpark in Spanien

Der Atlantik

Das war’s.

Tipps: Mit der App “Flyover Country” könnt ihr im Vorraus eine Karte runterladen und so auch im Flugmodus sehen, wo ihr euch gerade befindet und welchen Berg, Fluss, etc. ihr gerade seht. Ihr braucht nur GPS (funktioniert am besten am Fenster und braucht manchmal etwas lange. Bei iOS muss man GPS im Flugmodus extra aktivieren, bei Android bleibt es aktiviert).

Ein Tipp fürs Gepäckband: Wenn ihr keinen Bock habt, bei jedem schwarzen Koffer überlegen zu müssen, ob das eurer ist, kauft euch einfach einen in einer auffäligen Farbe. Meiner ist mintgrün.

Dann sind wir erstmal mit einem dieser Busse, die mehrere Hotels anfahren, zu unserem Hotel gefahren. Leider war es schon dunkel als wir angekommen sind, deswegen hab ich nur dieses Bild von unserem Ausblick:

Weiter hinten ist das Meer und davor eine Lagune.

Dann sind wir erstmal abendessen gegangen. Eigentlich haben wir zwar nur Frühstück gebucht, aber unser Hotel ist etwas abgelegen und ich hatte Hunger. Ich weiß aber nicht, ob wir da nochmal hingehen. Das Essen ist nicht schlecht, aber es ist so viel los, ich brauch eher was entspanntes. Außer dem Restaurant gibt es hier noch eine Bar, eine Strandbar und etwas weiter entfernt ein Fischrestaurant. Und wenn man eine Dreiviertelstunde zu Fuß läuft, ist man in Costa Calma, wo es wirklich genug Restaurants gibt. Wir werden also nicht verhungern.

Wahrscheinlich werden wir in diesem Urlaub nicht viel machen, außer am Strand zu liegen und den Oasis Park zu besuche, weil weder ich, noch meine Mutter den Führerschein haben. Es gibt zwar einen Bus nach Morro Jable, aber der fährt irgendwie um 14 Uhr oder so zum letzten Mal. Man kann bei Tui auch Ausflüge buchen, aber die sind fast alle mit einem Katamaran. Klingt cool, aber auf Teneriffa haben wir mal ne Delfinbeobachtungstour mit nem Katamaran gemacht. Wir haben zwar Delfine gesehen, aber fast jeder, inklusive mir, ist seekrank geworden.

And how much of that money does the Dept of Treasury expect to get back?

70%

70% of military spending with those contractors comes back via tax revenue eventually

They want to prop up the american economy

They want to help technology develop and in the view of many people this is the best way to do it

If they fund an airplane from Boeing then it will get extra tariffs placed on it or even be banned from import into europe like we did to Bombardier when they got taxpayer funds in Canada

If we fund a military technology that just so happens to also be in commercial jets than the government has created a more competitive, high tech economy with well paying jobs AND increased national security at a very small cost

We could spend much less on the military with vertical integration but many flyover states wouldn’t have an economy if some part of an F-35 wasn’t made there

Congressmen will only vote yes to more spending if it benefits their voters. Thats how we got here. There isn’t some militaristic cult in the government

They want jobs for their voters so that they can stay in office. Most of the money from military spending comes back anyway and it creates more private sector jobs/technology.

They see it as a win/win

We aren’t devoted to the military. We are leveraging high tax rates on well paying jobs to create high paying jobs and invent technologies we can export without tariffs

Welcome to the news channel of the Angry Nature, Today we will tell you about Dallas Air show crash, Footage shows the aircraft striking each other at a low altitude, breaking one of the aircraft in half. A fireball can be seen as it hits the ground. The planes - one of them a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress - were taking part in a commemorative air show near Dallas. It was not immediately clear how many people were in the two aircraft. The Allied Pilots Association, which represents American Airlines pilots, said Terry Barker and Len Root - two of its former members - were among people who died in the collision. Other media reports suggest as many as six people may have died in the collision. Eyewitness Chris Kratovil - who was one of between 4,000 and 6,000 who had gathered to watch the Wings Over Dallas Airshow on Saturday - told the BBC he had "never seen a crowd grow more quiet or more still in just a blink of an eye". "It went from being a fairly excited, energetic crowd... to complete silence and stillness, and a lot of people, including myself, turned their children towards them and away from the airfield because there was burning wreckage in the middle of the airfield." The Federal Aviation Administration said it will investigate the crash at the three-day event, which describes itself as the US's premiere WW2 air show and was being held in honour of Veterans Day, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson called it a "terrible tragedy". "The videos are heart-breaking," he tweeted. "Please, say a prayer for the souls who took to the sky to entertain and educate our families today." The number of casualties are not yet confirmed, he said, but added that nobody on the ground had been reported injured. The event's website states that several planes had been scheduled to do a flyover demonstration on Saturday. #plane_crash #air_plane #angry_nature #dallas_airport _______________________________ The channel lists such natural disasters as: 1) Geological emergencies: #earthquake  #volcanic_eruption  mudflow, #landslide landfall, avalanche; 2) Hydrological emergencies:  #flash_flood #tsunami  Limnological catastrophe, floods, flooding; 3) Fires: Forest fire, Peat fire, Glass Fire, Wildfire; 4) Meteorological emergencies: #tornado, ATTENTION: All videos are taken from open sources.
