African safari, Aug 2014 – 066
The mother leopard was making an attempt to hunt, but was also searching following her cub — who was feeling really playful, and had no curiosity in hunting…
For much more particulars about the camp, see singita.com/sabora-tented-camp/
As I wrote in the notes for my October 2012 safari in South Africa, I have lived most of my adult existence with out ever venturing into the African jungle, and without participating in the mysterious action identified as "safari." Hence, my impressions have been primarily based on a variety of films — ranging from Meryl Streep's glorious Out of Africa (filmed close to the starting level of this existing journey, at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro) to The African Queen to the silliness of childhood Tarzan motion pictures — as well as pictures and visits to nearby zoos to see mangy animals who have no a lot more 1st-hand knowledge with the continent than I had.
In fact, I have produced a handful of visits to Africa more than the years — even before that very first safari trip a couple many years in the past. I'm not positive that my two visits to Egypt count in this regard — but I did travel to South Africa in the early 1990s, to speak at laptop conferences in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The last pay a visit to was created shortly prior to the release of Nelson Mandela, when the entire nation waited for a basic transition, even however no 1 was confident what sort of long term lay ahead of them. Hectic travel schedules, the demands of company, and the wish not to depart my household stranded at home any longer than essential, eliminated the casual considered of paying a week on safari on these early journeys … and so, like many other potential journeys (Easter Island, Machu Picchu, Patagonia, Antarctica, a river journey on the Amazon, and so on.), it was just extra to my "bucket list."
But in 2012, I had yet another possibility to return to South Africa, for an abortive laptop conference that took spot in Cape Town. Soon after twenty years, our children are grown and gone, and most of the hectic pressures of organization have diminished so my wife and I have been ready to set aside a week, and we visited two diverse safari lodges in the Kruger National Park of northern South Africa, just a few miles from the Mozambique border. If you're interested, you can see the pictures in this Flickr album suffice it to say that it was remarkable enough that we made the decision to come back for another safari, if we ever had the likelihood.
The "chance," as it turns out, occurred in a quiet two-week time period of August 2014 and this 2nd safari concerned quick stays in 5 small camps situated in northern Tanzania and southern Kenya. As I noted following our 1st safari, we could have gone to Botswana or Zaire or Zimbabwe or a dozen other nations even without having South Africa or Tanzania, there were dozens of diverse parks, game reserves, lodges, and camps that we could have picked. (A short bit of historical past, in situation you are interested: Tanzania utilised to be Tanganyika, and ahead of that it was German East Africa in 1964, it combined with the island-state of Zanzibar to turn out to be the Republic of Tanzania. You can read far more particulars in this Wikipedia write-up).
As with our prior journey, we noticed such an incredible selection of animals that I can scarcely bear in mind them all. Men and women at every single new camp that we visited kept asking if we had noticed the "big five": lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, and elephants. To which the response, right after the first 1 or two camps, was merely yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. We also saw zebras (hundreds of thousands, or so it appeared), giraffes, ostriches, wildebeest (gazillions of the shaggy beasts), warthogs, crocodiles, hyenas,jackals, babboons, monkeys, and huge herds of antelopes (which incorporated kudu and impalas and topi and Thompson gazelles and dic-dic antelopes, and goodness understands what else). I didn't even try to keep track of all the birds we noticed vultures, eagles, and hawks have been all over the place, but there have been a lot of other individuals that I had never observed or heard of ahead of, and which I'll probably never ever see yet again back in the urban jungle of New York City.
As we had witnessed on our earlier 2012 journey, some of these species have been fairly compatible and nonchalant about becoming in each and every others' presence but there was no query that predators have been all over the place, and that there was a consistent struggle among the hunters and the hunted. Without a doubt, it was relatively surprising to see how many thousands of antelope and wildebeest and zebras managed to evade the continual danger of lions, leopards, and cheetahs (which flip out to be at the bottom of the "pecking order" of predators) but it gradually became clear that hackneyed phrases like "survival of the fittest" really do mean anything out here. Yes, the older animals, and the weak and lame and very young, are very vulnerable — and they normally really do not survive very prolonged. But tons more do survive by becoming consistently alert, consistently sniffing the breeze, and continuously listening for warning sounds from nearby birds, monkeys, and members of their own herd.
We saw a couple of indications of a "kill" that had recently taken spot: a pride of lions ripping away at the flesh of a recently-killed wildebeest a jaguar that had dragged a lately-killed warthog up into a tree for safekeeping, whilst hyenas and jackals frantically leapt and jumped in a vain try to get up the tree themselves — along with the occasional skeletons and bleached-white bones of animals killed a season or two ago.
We had numerous hrs every day to observe all of this, and I took approximately three thousand photos by the finish of the trip. I've uploaded a relatively modest number of "keepers" to this Flickr album, which will convey at least a tiny of what it's like to actually be in the presence of so many animals. But to genuinely value it, you've got to be there, in man or woman.
The only caution I'll include is that your return trip ought to steer clear of Nairobi if at all feasible. The chaos and confusion in the Nairobi airport, on the day of our return, is a story unto itself … but I took no pictures there, so you will just have to use your imagination.vTags: Africa, Hunting, images, Safari, South, Wonderful

Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center: P-40 Warhawk with "sharktooth" nose is a post from South African Experience - Get to know the real South African experience]]>
Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center: P-40 Warhawk with "sharktooth" nose
Details, quoting from Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Curtiss P-40E Warhawk (Kittyhawk IA):
Whether known as the Warhawk, Tomahawk, or Kittyhawk, the Curtiss P-40 proved to be a successful, versatile fighter during the first half of World War II. The shark-mouthed Tomahawks that Gen. Claire Chennault's "Flying Tigers" flew in China against the Japanese remain among the most popular airplanes of the war. P-40E pilot Lt. Boyd D. Wagner became the first American ace of World War II when he shot down six Japanese aircraft in the Philippines in mid-December 1941.
Curtiss-Wright built this airplane as Model 87-A3 and delivered it to Canada as a Kittyhawk I in 1941. It served until 1946 in No. 111 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force. U.S. Air Force personnel at Andrews Air Force Base restored it in 1975 to represent an aircraft of the 75th Fighter Squadron, 23rd Fighter Group, 14th Air Force.

Long Description:
Whether it was the Tomahawk, Warhawk, or Kittyhawk, the Curtiss P-40 was a successful and versatile fighter aircraft during the first half of World War II. The shark-mouthed Tomahawks that General Claire Chennault led against the Japanese remain among the most popular airplanes of the war. In the Phillipines, Lt. Boyd D. Wagner became the first American ace of World War II while flying a P-40E when he shot down six Japanese aircraft during mid-December 1941. P-40s were first-line Army Air Corps fighters at the start of the war but they soon gave way to more advanced designs such as the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and the Lockheed P-38 Lightning (see NASM collection for both aircraft). The P-40 is not ranked among the best overall fighters of the war but it was a rugged, effective design available in large numbers early in the war when America and her allies urgently required them. The P-40 remained in production from 1939 to the end of 1944 and a total of 13, 737 were built.
Design engineer Dr. Donovan R. Berlin layed the foundation for the P-40 in 1935 when he designed the agile, but lightly-armed, P-36 fighter equipped with a radial, air-cooled engine. The Curtiss-Wright Corporation won a production contract for 210 P-36 airplanes in 1937-the largest Army airplane contract awarded since World War I. Worldwide, fighter aircraft designs matured rapidly during the late 1930s and it was soon obvious that the P-36 was no match for newer European designs. High altitude performance in particular became a priceless commodity. Berlin attempted to improve the P-36 by redesigning it in to accommodate a turbo-supercharged Allison V-1710-11 inline, liquid-cooled engine. The new aircraft was designated the XP-37 but proved unpopular with pilots. The turbo-supercharger was not reliable and Berlin had placed the cockpit too far back on the fuselage, restricting the view to the front of the fighter. Nonetheless, when the engine was not giving trouble, the more-streamlined XP-37 was much faster than the P-36.
Curtiss tried again in 1938. Berlin had modified another P-36 with a new Allison V-1710-19 engine. It was designated the XP-40 and first flew on October 14, 1938. The XP-40 looked promising and Curtiss offered it to Army Air Corps leaders who evaluated the airplane at Wright Field, Ohio, in 1939, along with several other fighter proposals. The P-40 won the competition, after some modifications, and Curtiss received an order for 540. At this time, the armament package consisted of two .50 caliber machine guns in the fuselage and four .30 caliber machine guns in the wings.
After production began in March 1940, France ordered 140 P-40s but the British took delivery of these airplanes when Paris surrendered. The British named the aircraft Tomahawks but found they performed poorly in high-altitude combat over northern Europe and relegated them to low-altitude operations in North Africa. The Russians bought more than 2,000 P-40s but details of their operational history remain obscure.
When the United States declared war, P-40s equipped many of the Army Air Corps's front line fighter units. The plucky fighter eventually saw combat in almost every theater of operations being the most effective in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater. Of all the CBI groups that gained the most notoriety of the entire war, and remains to this day synonymous with the P-40, is the American Volunteer Group (AVG) or the Flying Tigers. The unit was organized after the Chinese gave former U. S. Army Air Corps Captain Claire Lee Chennault almost 9 million dollars in 1940 to buy aircraft and recruit pilots to fly against the Japanese. Chennault's most important support within the Chinese government came from Madam Chiang Kai-shek, a Lt. Colonel in the Chinese Air Force and for a time, the service's overall commander.
The money from China diverted an order placed by the British Royal Air Force for 100 Curtiss-Wright P-40B Tomahawks but buying airplanes was only one important step in creating a fighting air unit. Trained pilots were needed, and quickly, as tensions across the Pacific escalated. On April 15, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt quietly signed an Executive Order permitting Chennault to recruit directly from the ranks of American military reserve pilots. Within a few months, 350 flyers joined from pursuit (fighter), bomber, and patrol squadrons. In all, about half the pilots in the Flying Tigers came from the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps while the Army Air Corps supplied one-third. Factory test pilots at Bell, Consolidated, and other companies, and commercial airline pilots, filled the remaining slots.
The Flying Tigers flew their first mission on December 20. The unit's name was derived from the ferocious fangs and teeth painted on the nose of AVG P-40s at either side of the distinctive, large radiator air intake. The idea is said to originate from pictures in a magazine that showed Royal Air Force Tomahawks of No. 112 Squadron, operating in the western desert of North Africa, adorned with fangs and teeth painted around their air intakes. The Flying Tigers were the first real opposition the Japanese military encountered. In less than 7 months of action, AVG pilots destroyed about 115 Japanese aircraft and lost only 11 planes in air-to-air combat. The AVG disbanded on July 4, 1942, and its assets, including a few pilots, became a part of the U. S. Army Air Forces (AAF) 23rd Fighter Group in the newly activated 14th Air Force. Chennault, now a Brigadier General, assumed command of the 14th AF and by war's end, the 23rd was one of the highest-scoring Army fighter groups.
As wartime experience in the P-40 mounted, Curtiss made many modifications. Engineers added armor plate, better self-sealing fuel tanks, and more powerful engines. They modified the cockpit to improve visibility and changed the armament package to six, wing-mounted, .50 caliber machine guns. The P-40E Kittyhawk was the first model with this gun package and it entered service in time to serve in the AVG. The last model produced in quantity was the P-40N, the lightest P-40 built in quantity, and much faster than previous models. Curtiss built a single P-40Q. It was the fastest P-40 to fly (679 kph/422 mph) but it could not match the performance of the P-47 Thunderbolt and the P-51 Mustang so Curtiss ended development of the P-40 series with this model. In addition to the AAF, many Allied nations bought and flew P-40s including England, France, China, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and Turkey.
The Smithsonian P-40E did not serve in the U. S. military. Curtiss-Wright built it in Buffalo, New York, as Model 87-A3 and delivered it to Canada as a Kittyhawk IA on March 11, 1941. It served in No. 111 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). When the Japanese navy moved to attack Midway, they sent a diversionary battle group to menace the Aleutian Islands. Canada moved No. 111 Squadron to Alaska to help defend the region. After the Japanese threat diminished, the unit returned to Canada and eventually transferred to England without its P-40s. The RCAF declared the NASM Kittyhawk IA surplus on July 27, 1946, and the aircraft eventually returned to the United States. It had several owners before ending up with the Explorer Scouts youth group in Meridian, Mississippi. During the early 1960s, the Smithsonian began searching for a P-40 with a documented history of service in the AVG but found none. In 1964, the Exchange Club in Meridian donated the Kittyhawk IA to the National Aeronautical Collection, in memory of Mr. Kellis Forbes, a local man devoted to Boys Club activities. A U. S. Air Force Reserve crew airlifted the fighter to Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, on March 13, 1964. Andrews personnel restored the airplane in 1975 and painted it to represent an aircraft of the 75th Fighter Squadron, 23rd Fighter Group, 14th Air Force.

Quoting from Wikipedia | Curtiss P-40 Warhawk:
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was an American single-engine, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. It was used by the air forces of 28 nations, including those of most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in front line service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built, all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facility at Buffalo, New York.
The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36; this reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service.
Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps adopted for all models, making it the official name in the United States for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the P-40B and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.
The P-40's lack of a two-stage supercharger made it inferior to Luftwaffe fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 or the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in high-altitude combat and it was rarely used in operations in Northwest Europe. Between 1941 and 1944, however, the P-40 played a critical role with Allied air forces in three major theaters: North Africa, the Southwest Pacific and China. It also had a significant role in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Alaska and Italy. The P-40's performance at high altitudes was not as critical in those theaters, where it served as an air superiority fighter, bomber escort and fighter bomber.
P-40s first saw combat with the British Commonwealth squadrons of the Desert Air Force (DAF) in the Middle East and North African campaigns, during June 1941. The Royal Air Force's No. 112 Squadron was among the first to operate Tomahawks, in North Africa, and the unit was the first to feature the "shark mouth" logo, copying similar markings on some Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 110 twin-engine fighters. [N 1]
Although it gained a post-war reputation as a mediocre design, suitable only for close air support, more recent research including scrutiny of the records of individual Allied squadrons indicates that the P-40 performed surprisingly well as an air superiority fighter, at times suffering severe losses, but also taking a very heavy toll on enemy aircraft. The P-40 offered the additional advantage of low cost, which kept it in production as a ground-attack fighter long after it was obsolete in the air superiority role.
As of 2008, 19 P-40s were airworthy.

The first Space Shuttle orbiter, "Enterprise," is a full-scale test vehicle used for flights in the atmosphere and tests on the ground; it is not equipped for spaceflight. Although the airframe and flight control elements are like those of the Shuttles flown in space, this vehicle has no propulsion system and only simulated thermal tiles because these features were not needed for atmospheric and ground tests. "Enterprise" was rolled out at Rockwell International's assembly facility in Palmdale, California, in 1976. In 1977, it entered service for a nine-month-long approach-and-landing test flight program. Thereafter it was used for vibration tests and fit checks at NASA centers, and it also appeared in the 1983 Paris Air Show and the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans. In 1985, NASA transferred "Enterprise" to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum.

Long Description:
No reconnaissance aircraft in history has operated in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71 Blackbird. It is the fastest aircraft propelled by air-breathing engines. The Blackbird's performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the Cold War. The airplane was conceived when tensions with communist Eastern Europe reached levels approaching a full-blown crisis in the mid-1950s. U.S. military commanders desperately needed accurate assessments of Soviet worldwide military deployments, particularly near the Iron Curtain. Lockheed Aircraft Corporation's subsonic U-2 (see NASM collection) reconnaissance aircraft was an able platform but the U. S. Air Force recognized that this relatively slow aircraft was already vulnerable to Soviet interceptors. They also understood that the rapid development of surface-to-air missile systems could put U-2 pilots at grave risk. The danger proved reality when a U-2 was shot down by a surface to air missile over the Soviet Union in 1960.
Lockheed's first proposal for a new high speed, high altitude, reconnaissance aircraft, to be capable of avoiding interceptors and missiles, centered on a design propelled by liquid hydrogen. This proved to be impracticable because of considerable fuel consumption. Lockheed then reconfigured the design for conventional fuels. This was feasible and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), already flying the Lockheed U-2, issued a production contract for an aircraft designated the A-12. Lockheed's clandestine 'Skunk Works' division (headed by the gifted design engineer Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson) designed the A-12 to cruise at Mach 3.2 and fly well above 18,288 m (60,000 feet). To meet these challenging requirements, Lockheed engineers overcame many daunting technical challenges. Flying more than three times the speed of sound generates 316° C (600° F) temperatures on external aircraft surfaces, which are enough to melt conventional aluminum airframes. The design team chose to make the jet's external skin of titanium alloy to which shielded the internal aluminum airframe. Two conventional, but very powerful, afterburning turbine engines propelled this remarkable aircraft. These power plants had to operate across a huge speed envelope in flight, from a takeoff speed of 334 kph (207 mph) to more than 3,540 kph (2,200 mph). To prevent supersonic shock waves from moving inside the engine intake causing flameouts, Johnson's team had to design a complex air intake and bypass system for the engines.
Skunk Works engineers also optimized the A-12 cross-section design to exhibit a low radar profile. Lockheed hoped to achieve this by carefully shaping the airframe to reflect as little transmitted radar energy (radio waves) as possible, and by application of special paint designed to absorb, rather than reflect, those waves. This treatment became one of the first applications of stealth technology, but it never completely met the design goals.
Test pilot Lou Schalk flew the single-seat A-12 on April 24, 1962, after he became airborne accidentally during high-speed taxi trials. The airplane showed great promise but it needed considerable technical refinement before the CIA could fly the first operational sortie on May 31, 1967 – a surveillance flight over North Vietnam. A-12s, flown by CIA pilots, operated as part of the Air Force's 1129th Special Activities Squadron under the "Oxcart" program. While Lockheed continued to refine the A-12, the U. S. Air Force ordered an interceptor version of the aircraft designated the YF-12A. The Skunk Works, however, proposed a "specific mission" version configured to conduct post-nuclear strike reconnaissance. This system evolved into the USAF's familiar SR-71.
Lockheed built fifteen A-12s, including a special two-seat trainer version. Two A-12s were modified to carry a special reconnaissance drone, designated D-21. The modified A-12s were redesignated M-21s. These were designed to take off with the D-21 drone, powered by a Marquart ramjet engine mounted on a pylon between the rudders. The M-21 then hauled the drone aloft and launched it at speeds high enough to ignite the drone's ramjet motor. Lockheed also built three YF-12As but this type never went into production. Two of the YF-12As crashed during testing. Only one survives and is on display at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The aft section of one of the "written off" YF-12As which was later used along with an SR-71A static test airframe to manufacture the sole SR-71C trainer. One SR-71 was lent to NASA and designated YF-12C. Including the SR-71C and two SR-71B pilot trainers, Lockheed constructed thirty-two Blackbirds. The first SR-71 flew on December 22, 1964. Because of extreme operational costs, military strategists decided that the more capable USAF SR-71s should replace the CIA's A-12s. These were retired in 1968 after only one year of operational missions, mostly over southeast Asia. The Air Force's 1st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron (part of the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing) took over the missions, flying the SR-71 beginning in the spring of 1968.
After the Air Force began to operate the SR-71, it acquired the official name Blackbird– for the special black paint that covered the airplane. This paint was formulated to absorb radar signals, to radiate some of the tremendous airframe heat generated by air friction, and to camouflage the aircraft against the dark sky at high altitudes.
Experience gained from the A-12 program convinced the Air Force that flying the SR-71 safely required two crew members, a pilot and a Reconnaissance Systems Officer (RSO). The RSO operated with the wide array of monitoring and defensive systems installed on the airplane. This equipment included a sophisticated Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) system that could jam most acquisition and targeting radar. In addition to an array of advanced, high-resolution cameras, the aircraft could also carry equipment designed to record the strength, frequency, and wavelength of signals emitted by communications and sensor devices such as radar. The SR-71 was designed to fly deep into hostile territory, avoiding interception with its tremendous speed and high altitude. It could operate safely at a maximum speed of Mach 3.3 at an altitude more than sixteen miles, or 25,908 m (85,000 ft), above the earth. The crew had to wear pressure suits similar to those worn by astronauts. These suits were required to protect the crew in the event of sudden cabin pressure loss while at operating altitudes.
To climb and cruise at supersonic speeds, the Blackbird's Pratt & Whitney J-58 engines were designed to operate continuously in afterburner. While this would appear to dictate high fuel flows, the Blackbird actually achieved its best "gas mileage," in terms of air nautical miles per pound of fuel burned, during the Mach 3+ cruise. A typical Blackbird reconnaissance flight might require several aerial refueling operations from an airborne tanker. Each time the SR-71 refueled, the crew had to descend to the tanker's altitude, usually about 6,000 m to 9,000 m (20,000 to 30,000 ft), and slow the airplane to subsonic speeds. As velocity decreased, so did frictional heat. This cooling effect caused the aircraft's skin panels to shrink considerably, and those covering the fuel tanks contracted so much that fuel leaked, forming a distinctive vapor trail as the tanker topped off the Blackbird. As soon as the tanks were filled, the jet's crew disconnected from the tanker, relit the afterburners, and again climbed to high altitude.
Air Force pilots flew the SR-71 from Kadena AB, Japan, throughout its operational career but other bases hosted Blackbird operations, too. The 9th SRW occasionally deployed from Beale AFB, California, to other locations to carryout operational missions. Cuban missions were flown directly from Beale. The SR-71 did not begin to operate in Europe until 1974, and then only temporarily. In 1982, when the U.S. Air Force based two aircraft at Royal Air Force Base Mildenhall to fly monitoring mission in Eastern Europe.
When the SR-71 became operational, orbiting reconnaissance satellites had already replaced manned aircraft to gather intelligence from sites deep within Soviet territory. Satellites could not cover every geopolitical hotspot so the Blackbird remained a vital tool for global intelligence gathering. On many occasions, pilots and RSOs flying the SR-71 provided information that proved vital in formulating successful U. S. foreign policy. Blackbird crews provided important intelligence about the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and its aftermath, and pre- and post-strike imagery of the 1986 raid conducted by American air forces on Libya. In 1987, Kadena-based SR-71 crews flew a number of missions over the Persian Gulf, revealing Iranian Silkworm missile batteries that threatened commercial shipping and American escort vessels.
As the performance of space-based surveillance systems grew, along with the effectiveness of ground-based air defense networks, the Air Force started to lose enthusiasm for the expensive program and the 9th SRW ceased SR-71 operations in January 1990. Despite protests by military leaders, Congress revived the program in 1995. Continued wrangling over operating budgets, however, soon led to final termination. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration retained two SR-71As and the one SR-71B for high-speed research projects and flew these airplanes until 1999.
On March 6, 1990, the service career of one Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird ended with a record-setting flight. This special airplane bore Air Force serial number 64-17972. Lt. Col. Ed Yeilding and his RSO, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Vida, flew this aircraft from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. in 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds, averaging a speed of 3,418 kph (2,124 mph). At the conclusion of the flight, '972 landed at Dulles International Airport and taxied into the custody of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. At that time, Lt. Col. Vida had logged 1,392.7 hours of flight time in Blackbirds, more than that of any other crewman.
This particular SR-71 was also flown by Tom Alison, a former National Air and Space Museum's Chief of Collections Management. Flying with Detachment 1 at Kadena Air Force Base, Okinawa, Alison logged more than a dozen '972 operational sorties. The aircraft spent twenty-four years in active Air Force service and accrued a total of 2,801.1 hours of flight time.

A brief history of Ballito
This land was component of a sugar cane farm, which was owned by Basil Townsend. Ballito was proclaimed a town in 1954 and reached borough standing in 1986. The town's name was borrowed from a glossy magazine advert for Ballito Hosiery showing sheer silk Italian stockings. The word "Ballito" translated from Italian implies "little ball".
Today Ballito is recognized for its gorgeous seashores and safe surroundings producing it the foremost tourist location in Kwa Zulu Natal.Ballito's friendly, village environment is a welcome haven from the rapidly tempo of huge city life, yet it offers all the modern day amenities and services to residents and vacation-makers alike.
Ballito is a mega-tourist-friendly seaside resort with wonderful, risk-free, shark net-protected beaches. Tidal pools ranging from kiddies' paddling numbers to a complete Olympic-sized pool offer you risk-free bathing for all amounts of swimmer and even non-swimmers. There is a beautiful extended boardwalkoffering easy scenic seashore strolling and a far more rugged trail all the way up to Salt Rock includes a quick tunnel very best attempted at minimal tide. The surfing is excellent at close by Salmon Bay.
Ballito is a excellent household destination with a sophisticated infrastructure – which signifies wall-to-wall improvement and loads of beachfront hotels. And, if that's not ample, it is less than an hour away from Durban, if you require a big city repair. Excellent shopping, wonderful dining establishments and a vibey nightlifeshould hold the entire family members occupied when they're not on the beach.
There are microlight flips on offer you for a bird's eye view of rolling sugar cane fields and dolphins frolicking in the waves. For grass addicts, there are four excellent golf courses close to Ballito – and they had nothing at all to do with the title of the town – which implies small ball. But it is apt, isn't it?

South Africans Conserve Thousands on International Roaming Payments is a post from South African Experience - Get to know the real South African experience]]>
Travelstart's current report "Cellphones in Travel" highlights what South Africans have been very concerned about ever given that the cell telephone was invented that they are paying extortionate amounts for employing their phones abroad. Compared to passengers flying out of the European Union, South Africans pay out five times as considerably in roaming charges. International communications organization WorldSIM, delivers a global roaming SIM card (amongst numerous other products) that function in over 195 nations and can be obtained with a South African amount. This implies customers going abroad can quickly and simply divert their South African mobile variety to a WorldSIM quantity and consequently make and get calls as normal for a minimal expense.
This wise substitute can bring substantial reductions in global roaming and data roaming payments down from a whopping *typical of ZAR 5489, to just a meagre ZAR 119.69 – offering users an typical conserving of ZAR 5369.31 per person, per every single journey. This is the equivalent of nearly 85% less.
WorldSIM spokesperson, Andrea Crome commented "Travellers need to have to get far more savvy with their roaming expenses as international roaming expenses can effortlessly be reduced fairly substantially, with extremely small action essential. This will allow travellers to talk, text and browse to their hearts content material even though they are away, with out the concern of a shocking roaming bill when they get home."
She continued to say "By creating a number of simple adjustments to their cellphone settings customers can conserve about 50% on roaming expenses alone, then if they in addition use a WorldSIM SIM card they can slash these charges even more – by up to 85% producing roaming simply inexpensive to everyone, while still sting currently being ready to keep in touch on their current contact number. I examined this this for myself and took my WorldSIM to India for an eight day journey and whilst my pal spent above ZAR seven,201 on roaming making use of her current mobile operators add ons, I used my phone just as I would have whilst at residence (I even accidentally left data roaming on for two days) and my WorldSIM bill came to just in excess of ZAR 540 – a lot much less than making use of my normal mobile network would have charged me."
It looks an escalating sum of passengers are unaware of remedies to the extortionate costs of worldwide roaming and information roaming and so two% switch their cellphone off and keep it off whilst, 28% switch to flight mode for the duration of the journey. These travellers for that reason miss out on staying linked through social media channels, using Google maps, obtaining and producing calls to producing alterations to final minute travel programs, thus generating their journeys a lot more demanding and decreasing their effectiveness. If travellers enhanced their education on the obtainable roaming options and better understood their information consumption, they can advantage from roaming charges that are only marginally a lot more that they would expect to spend at house.

In accordance to satellite information launched this month by Remote Sensing Methods (RSS), which gives information utilized by NASA, NOAA, and the Nationwide Science Basis, the worldwide indicate surface temperature has not risen for 18 consecutive years. This extends the so-referred to as "pause" in international warming to a new record, one particular not predicted by the climate versions of the United Nations' International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Click right here to see the raw RSS data, and [click here to see supporting data from the National Area Science & Technologies Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

"To the world's climate alarmists, atmospheric carbon dioxide is a unsafe trace gas, and for many years, they have been insisting its boost will raise worldwide temperatures and wreak havoc on Earth's climate and biosphere. Yet, despite a 9 percent improve in CO2 above the past 18 many years, there has been no rise in global temperature. Feel about that. In excess of this time period the air's CO2 content material has risen some forty elements per million, which represents completely one-third the complete international CO2 increase given that the starting of the Industrial Revolution, nevertheless contrary to model projections, planetary temperatures have failed to rise.
"It's time for global warming die-hards to encounter the facts. Cease denying the versions have acquired international temperature projections wrong. Quit denying CO2 has a reduce climate sensitivity than you have been claiming. Quit denying the societal advantages of continued fossil fuel use. It's not also late to make a program correction and assistance sound science."
Craig D. Idso
Senior Fellow, Environment

Co-editor, Nongovernmental Global Panel on Climate Modify
"The ongoing 18 years with no any warming strongly contradict alarmist predictions of worldwide warming doom-and-gloom. In accordance to almost all of the United Nations' laptop designs, this lack of warming could not occur. The genuine-world climate proves the alarmist pc versions overstate the warming properties of carbon dioxide. Even when Earth resumes its modest warming, which it very likely will at some point in the following couple of decades, the speed of warming will proceed to be fairly modest and beneficial to human welfare and global ecosystems."
James M. Taylor
Senior fellow for Environmental Policy
The Heartland Institute
"The EPA claimed that carbon dioxide emissions are pollutants that endangers human well being, even however carbon dioxide is essential for lifestyle on this planet. Green plants need to have carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to produce the food plants and animals need to survive.
"The EPA stated that it based mostly its obtaining on three lines of evidence. These lines of evidence do not exist, or no longer exist. They are: (1) a distinct human fingerprint in the environment over the tropics (2) late 20th century warming was uncommon and (3) climate designs predict that human-triggered warming would grow to be unsafe to humans in the 21st century. No a single, including the National Academy of Sciences, has been able to uncover the distinct human fingerprint except people who falsely declare this kind of a warming is uniquely human-brought on.
"Late 20th century warming stopped about 18 years in the past. Climate designs can not make clear why, even although, in accordance to the White House, federal expenditures on climate science and packages to fight global warming/climate alter quantity to about $ 22.five billion a yr. There is no scientific purpose to presume considerable warming will occur in the future from human carbon dioxide emission.
"The EPA and the Obama administration have embarked on a plan of eliminating electricity generation from even the most productive and cleanest modern day coal-fired electrical power plants, with no carbon capture and storage – a technology untested for general application. All this is based on a perceived threat to human well being that can not be proven to exist. It is past time to quit the madness of wasting fantastic sums of funds on EPA's imaginary threat to human well being."
Kenneth Haapala
Executive Vice President
Science and Environmental Policy Task (SEPP)
"The international warming scare is driven by computerized climate model forecasts of the potential. If the models are unreliable, then there is small basis for concern, considering that genuine-planet observations present that the climate alter of the past century falls properly inside natural variability. In 2008, the NOAA 'State of the Climate' report specified exactly what observations would indicate whether or not the models are trustworthy or not: Fifteen many years of no warming. In 2009, climate scientist Phil Jones agreed, telling a colleague in one of the leaked Climategate emails: 'Bottom line: the "no upward trend" has to proceed for a complete of 15 many years just before we get worried.'
"Having just passed 18 years with no warming, the criteria, as set by alarmists themselves, is now pleased. The worldwide warming scare is over."
Tom Harris
Executive Director
Global Climate Science Coalition
Policy Advisor, Power and Setting
The Heartland Institute
"Eighteen many years of no warming. That signifies this year's substantial college graduates were raised to feel in and concern something that stopped taking place just before they have been born. We've had as several many years of reasonably regular temperatures as we had actual years of warming since the ice age panic of the 1970s. Expanding Antarctic ice sheets, elevated greening of the earth, more walruses and polar bears than at any time since the starting of the 20th century, fewer hurricanes and tornadoes, only a modest sea level rise, longer existence spans and much better overall health … if these are the terrors of worldwide warming, I'll have much more please.
"Every 1 of the climate versions missed the lull. You've got to ask oneself, 'Are you going to feel what the modelers tell you, or are you going to feel your "lying eyes," which in this situation is the real measured temperature information?' I'll consider challenging data in excess of faulty designs any day."
H. Sterling Burnett
Research Fellow, Setting & Power Policy

Managing Editor, Setting & Climate News
"The celebration of 18 many years with no global warming – in spite of the quickest improve in atmospheric carbon dioxide in a millennia (2 ppm per yr) – exhibits that the dread of employing our abundant, economical, and geographically distributed fossil fuels is nonsense.
"Due to consternation among climate alarmists, 52 explanations have been made to date for the pause in international warming – most claiming heat is hidden someplace in the ocean. These claims are fiction, as was the claim by a British meteorologist in 2001 that young children these days, in 2014, would never witness snow.
"Let the U.S. go forward and create the millions of jobs and trillions of dollars of revenue by becoming the energy supplier of the globe with coal, oil, and all-natural gasoline. Abundant, inexpensive power for bad nations can assist eliminate poverty and well being difficulties like the present Ebola outbreak."
James H. Rust
Professor of nuclear engineering (Ret.), Georgia Tech
Policy Advisor,

"As the international temperature standstill hits 18 years beyond what the models predicted the climate activists are left with much more than 50 excuses to describe why temperatures are not increasing.
"The 'pause' reveals that it is scientifically evident that carbon dioxide is not the overriding driver of the climate. The worldwide warming movement has morphed into a coalition of 'climate trigger deniers.' They deny the hundreds of brings about and variables of climate modify and pretend CO2 is the 'control knob' overriding all the other folks."
Marc Morano
Climate Depot
"Yes there has been no warming for 18 years, but The New York Instances has just reactivated it's environmental worldwide warming/climate adjust coverage group to increase coverage of what they regard as the most significant concern of our time. At the Occasions Net web site, in which it announced this new climate staff, I posted this comment:
'There has not been any important guy-created worldwide warming in the past, there is none now, and there is no cause to expect any in the potential. The computer designs that predicted the warming have failed to confirm. There has been no warming in 18 many years. The ice at the poles is stable. The polar bears are rising. The oceans are not increasing. The march in New York was a political occasion dominated by communists and socialists who are using climate alter as a devise to raise anti-capitalism hell. This is a great distortion of science with a political agenda driven by massive federal tax dollar research grants. I strongly urge the reporter group at the Times to break the actually big story and study and see it via: Worldwide warming/climate alter has turn out to be a politically driven folly with no any verified scientific basis. The proof to assistance what I have explained is there for the searching. Start off with the Nongovernmental Panel on Climate Modify and the perform of Patrick Moore, one of the founders of Greenpeace, and go from there. It can be the investigative story of your lifetimes. Go for it.'
"The details are on the side of the skeptics, but the media remains totally committed to the '97 percent consensus' lie."
John Coleman
Policy Advisor, Atmosphere
The Heartland Institute
"For many years now, urban natural activists have been advertising the natural business as the resolution to every little thing that supposedly ails our surroundings. But the reality of the matter is that natural farmers use a lot more fossil fuels per-acre and per-bushel of food created simply because they are forced to depend on tillage for weed management alternatively of herbicides. Consequently, natural farmers emit more CO2 per-acre and per-bushel which, in accordance to international-warming activists, was supposed to have resulted in atmospheric global warming.
"But here we are in 2014 and there has been no international warming for the past 18 years. Thankfully, as any farmer, organic or otherwise, will tell you, CO2 is good for crops and consequently excellent for the planet and excellent for humankind. Farmers would enjoy it if Earth's ambiance would warm, as promised. But till such time as the planet starts cooperating with the activists, they are all just happy to proceed farming the way each of them chooses to – understanding that nonetheless much CO2 they emit, it could never ever possibly have an appreciable result on the planet."
Mischa Popoff
Policy Advisor
The Heartland Institute
"One would think that, following 18 years in which there has been no boost in the average international temperature as predicted by the IPCC and every single other environmental organization, they may well be inclined to concede that global warming is not occurring. When the limitless pc versions that predicted warming turned out to be incorrect, you may well believe that the information media would report this extraordinary end result. When Hollywood actors, economists, and other folks with no background in science proceed to proclaim global warming, we can feel assured to dismiss them.
"But the worst of this 18-yr anniversary of the lack of warming is the fact we have a president, a secretary of state, and other individuals in the Obama administration who continue not only to proclaim warming – now named climate change – but suggesting that it is the greatest threat to the nation and the globe. The absurdity of this need to hold them up to ridicule, but these pronouncements are published with no criticism.
"The present cooling cycle Earth is encountering will carry on for several years to come, and its cause is practically nothing much more mysterious than our Sun – which is, itself, in a natural cycle of decrease radiation. As usually, nature, not man, will have the last word."
