Another Planet
X-Wing Engine
X-Wings have these really large intakes on their engines. Of course in space there is really nothing to intake although some have suggested that scooping up some free helium might help since E=MC2 would mean a little matter makes a lot of energy.
Blue Angel 6
The new aircraft are stunning!
Blue Angels 2021 (75 years)
Always have your camera with you reason 2021. I was down near the airport in Melbourne last Thursday and Friday. The Blue Angels were practicing their routine for the weekends air show. On Thursday I had my camera but with only a 35mm lens and there was really nothing I could do about capturing the team. On Friday I was back at the same location about the same time. (Getting a new phone is like buying a new car, it takes several days to get the job done,) I wasn’t sure if they would be practicing both days but as luck would have it they were and I was smart enough to bring a longer lens. My 18-135 at 122.8mm was enough to get a few shots. For their 75th anniversary they are flying F/A-18 Super Hornets. They are fast and loud. Having them fly over you at low altitude is a thing to experience!
Docked Tie Fighter
Without giving too much away about the Rise of The Resistance experience at Disney’s Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge there is a whole lot of detail that may take more the one trip to take in. This docked Tie Fighter is not really in plane view but is the kind of detail that makes the ride extra special. In fact this First Order artifact is not on the actual ride it’s part of the experience leading up to the ride.
