F-117 Nighthawk

would become the SR-71 Blackbird, a mach-3 plane that is part of the OXCART Project. This plane is what forced the expansion of the U-2 base. They had to make a new runway that is a lot longer, housing, and buildings for the aircraft. In 1962 the airspace above and around Groom Lake was off limits to everyone except for the workers of Area 51 and a number of planes were close by. The first OXCART plane arrived in 1962 and took flight just and flew two months later. In 1977, a Lockheed Have Blue stealth fighter prototype was finished and took flight. Over the next four years, more Have Blue prototypes were made until it turned into the F-117 stealth plane. The plane and the plane’s weapons were tested here. The Groom Lake base during this time was also used for training first-class frontline pilots assigned to the F-117. At the time testing the F-117 was fine at Area 51 but it was later moved to the Tonopah Test Range Airport and then to the Holloman Air Force Base. What they do there is very important and secret, but all of the attention is because of the theories people have on the base. Some say the government is making a weather system, time travel technology, or teleportation. Others think that Area 51 is doing work relating to aliens like storage of and reverse engineering of aliens, studying aliens both dead and alive, collaboration between the U.S. and aliens, making advanced energy weapons, and creating human and alien hybrids. Two other random theories are camouflage…

for capturing the sweeping arc of a bright display or large pillars and curtains over a wide landscape. A fast lens refers to the maximum aperture of the lens or the amount of light that your lens will let in. This is usually designated by an “f-number” – for example f/2.8. The smaller the f-number, the bigger the maximum aperture is for your lens and the more light that will be collected in the image. A lens set at f/2.8 will allow your more light into the camera than will a lens set at f/4.…

The Other Side of the Lens Peering through the viewfinder, I adjusted the focal length of the lens. The girls flitted within the frame, fueled by a sugar-induced hysteria. All five cradled ice cream cones, exuberantly embracing each other with sticky hands. Crisp pine trees lined the path through camp, framing the elated chaos. With a click, I stopped down the aperture, extending the depth of field and drawing each member of my wacky sixth grade group into focus. Hitting the shutter, I captured…

Today, I decided to play with my own camera of the ESO Canon. I thought that I have learned manual setting on my mentor’s Leica camera. So I wanted to try with my own camera, since it came with manual settings. First, I tried set different ISO, aperture, and shutter-speed numbers. I have to be honest that it wasn’t easy, because I couldn’t tell if is too dark or too bright. I just had to do my best to guess the ISO and shutter speed. With my first try, the first picture was too dark, so I turn…

The running joke about the Super Hornet is that it is a “jack of all trades, and master of none”. The truth is that the Hornet and specifically the Super Hornet has been required to replace the F-14 Tomcat, the S-3 Viking and the A-6 Intruder. That required the Super Hornet to effectively satisfy the mission sets of three aircraft. Boeing was responsible for ensuring that the airframe could handle that challenge, and succeeded in most cases. What Boeing was not contracted to solve, however, was…
