Been too lazy to get up at the crack of dawn to look for it, but I have to get up early for a trip to California on Saturday so will look for it then. 👍

A 3-4 second exposure from a Royal Air Force bomber reveals the massive amount of flak and anti-aircraft fire they were going through in a night raid on Brest, France. January 31, 1941.

Helicopters aren't supposed to fly like that

Go home helicopter you're drunk!

Blizzard of 1977, Buffalo, NY. My dad remembers this very vividly.

I like these kind of shots. Reminds me of photos my dad made in his military time. He has three on his FB page which I'll whore here

As I love cycling, I find this very motivational.

Awesome shot.
Great for a background, I reckon that would make my keyboard happy!

What was that used in?

 

[Slash]

I wish I knew...

 

[Bopop4]

Ah, found it.

Made by Ingersoll-Rand, main use was for compressors on natural gas pipelines.

41 litres per rotor, and one of the models was a twin rotor.

 

[Slash]

Ingersoll-Rand? That's a local company! Sweet!

In fact I drove by there this past Monday.

Nite time with tracers makes me miss the military.

I can imagine, my dad always motivated me for the military but I got a job and was too scared to quit that lifestyle.

Wow. These bikes don't stop paddling until they are fully stopped right? That's hard with two imagine only having one

Understandable I didn't join until I was 28! Always wanted to join it just took me a while to do it for the same reason. I kept getting better and better jobs and got comfortable.

Yup. If the bike is moving the pedals are moving, they are called track bikes, or fixies.

Then I must never stop thinking about it Thank you 👍

Yes fixies! Pretty insane if you think about it.

They must make a lot of stuff, I deal with them for door handles and locks, not rotary engines.

Yeah they do. They are well known for making automotive air tools as well.

Is one tower taller than the other or is it just the angle?

 

[PeterJB]

Yes, there was height difference between them of just over six feet. The angle is a bit strange though because the south tower should appear closer from the east.
