Soldier feeding an orphaned kitty he rescued in Korea in 1953, the kitten’s name was Miss Hap,....

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,

A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way.

We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.

Our" HOPE"  for the future.............

Maintenance on the A-10 'Warthog'............

Time to kick some ASS!!!!!!

This animation is based on all currently available data concerning the US Airways Flight 1549 crash landing on the Hudson River (Cactus 1549). Satellite imagery, elevation models and robust GIS mapping methods are utilized to create a vegetation model, terrain model and ground clutter (3D buildings). Of all available audio tracks, only two are used, La Guardia Tower and New York TRACON Departure controller position. Radar data as well as the onboard Flight Data Recorder are utilized in constructing the flightpath of the aircraft.
