Maybe you blocked me John?   ;)

Here is another one you cannot see.  ;D



Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace Joint Strike Missile (JSM) on a shiny new F/A-18F

Now I can't see it.  Maybe the DID website does not like hot linking.

A-26K "Special Kay" Invader

After loading all pylons, Tim B, our Nimrod pilot from Austin who flew Kay about 48 years ago, said she looked about right now. So off we went to see if Tim could still fly an A-26...loaded for wild hawgs. Never any doubt! Got two flights in and everything remained on the airplane. Then we blasted off with the CAF A-26 for the Cedar Creek Lake Airshow. That’s different because it is all over the water. We did our best to keep up with Buba but we had a bit more drag. Had to push up the throttles more! That made more noise so we suspect the crowd liked it. Hope to see some YouTube video in the next couple of days!

A beauty from the past...

Japanese battleship Hiei, class “Congo”, at sunset in the waters of Bay of Saeki in October 1941.
The deployed main-caliber turrets, armed with 356-mm cannons, testify to the training of their teams. In December 1941, the battleship Hiei along with the same type of “Kirishima” will participate in the cover of the carrier unit, struck at Pearl Harbor.

Location: Bay of Saeki, Japan
Date: October 1941

A few shots of the Snowbirds and crew from the 443 Maritime #Helicopter Squadron in front of the @RCAF_ARC retro-painted CH-124 #SeaKing at the Great Lakes International Airshow. This Sea King is due to retire later this year.

It would work as a small ferry, except the small ferries that I've been on have ramps for driving on and off.

Oh, this one isn't all that big:
