Stealth
This past weekend concludes a stretch of three back-to-back weekends in Washington D.C. The first of these weekends was over Easter, and longer than the other two. On Easter Sunday, a light rain set in making the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Hanger a perfect choice for the day’s photographic activities.
Upon getting into the hanger, and passing baggage inspection, most people walk to the railing directly in front of them and look down. They are greeted with a spectacular view of an SR-71 Blackbird.
The Blackbird was designed as a high altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and often played a supporting role for missions and intelligence gathering. While the plane was designed with stealth technology making it difficult to be seen by radar, it also carried countermeasures to help it avoid any threats should it come under attack by a surface to air missile. However, given the speeds which it was capable of, the standard countermeasure employed was to simply punch the throttle and outrun the threat. This would include missiles, as during the time this plane was in service, it could easily outrun anything that would pose a threat. Because of this, not a single SR-71 was ever shot down.

F-86 Sabre
Intended for a single pilot crew, the F-86 Sabre reached speeds of close to 700 MPH. It holds the distinction of being America’s first swept wing fighter, which allows it to maintain maneuverability, by delaying drag, for high speed aircraft.
The Sabre was a popular aircraft, developed in the late 1940’s. It had a production run that came close to reaching 10,000 planes.

The business end of a Russian MiG fighter jet captured at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Hanger just outside of Washignton D.C.
I thought this would be an appropriate shot for today, given the fact that this Friday I’m headed back to Washington D.C. for the first of two back-to-back weekends there. I’m hoping to bring back some great photos again, which shouldn’t be hard since it is such a photogenic city.

I have photographed this car for at least 5 years and it hasn't moved once. The only things in the scene that change are the number of tires on the pile and the color of the grass. For #TransportTuesday by +Shelly Gunderson and +Tom Gatermann.

A beautiful shot from +Ann Kennedy that touches the soul.
100 degree heat and yet the Amish press on, going about their routine without complaint.

It's #TransportTuesday with +Shelly Gunderson and +Tom Gatermann and if you have a magnifying glass you will find a young Amishman and his team of draft horses on the road ahead. It was a day approaching 100º F and his work was not easy. We turned down the path on the right so as not to disrupt the horses.
