A French Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft conducts touch and go landings aboard the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69).

I remember reading about that in the Navy times. Seems they also did that on the Roosevelt (CVN-70) when they hit the Med. Gorgeous aircraft. Here's one fixin to get shot off the "Big Stick".

A set of rearguard trenches during the Russian retreat in 1915.  Apparently, a shell burst overhead just as the picture was taken.

From the same series I posted pictures last week: This is my vehicle, the YPR 765.. But I don't know if you guys will see it underneath my awesome camouflage! And yes it took me hours to set up..
