The below pictured "human herding" machinery looks suspiciously like our C-130 cargo aircraft.
Not with that glazing in the nose. That particular feature used to be a feature of Soviet designs for transport aircraft. On a quick comparison, the one in the picture might be an AN-12.
Here is a picture stated to be of an AN-12 in much shinier condition.
Nice thread; good work. Now the winner comes...or not. :|
Aurel! Hello! :) So nice to see you! I'm about to be sued you know... *sniff disdainfully* but they'll have to get in the queue... edit: *pop eyed look* which seems to be getting longer... Hi archae 86 :)
@robl :) nice knitting... reminds me of the beginning of this thread :)
another edit: The glazing in the nose is in fact a special wire mesh device to prevent Mike shoving crayons into it...
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
Might not be an AN-12, there some very close relatives in existence, but most like it is one of the many AN-12s which have been stooging around Africa doing odd jobs in recent years.
Two "fun features" of the AN-12 as originally built, differing from Western designs:
1. That nose glazing was for the navigator's station, which came equipped with a bomb sight, though the type has very seldom actually dropped bombs.
2. At the back there was originally a tail gunner's station with twin 23mm cannon.
Were the cannon still installed on the pictured occasion, they would have allowed the flight crew to get in the last word in their little dispute with the herd-ees.
TOS (Tomás Oliveira de Silva) has stopped his work this year. OProject will compute to the range 10^50. I guess we should try 10^100, this is much more than 10^50.
The reasen should be the following:
10^100 could mean the number of all particles in the known universe. (some others says 10^86 is the number of all particles) The sum from all particles in the universe is the highest number; the "mathematical end". An higher number would be no possible, because we have not enought particles.
This would create an new problems:
What is the the exat number from all particles in this nanosecond?
Who many particles will "join" our universe in this nanosecond? (particles/ns|fs)
[This will mean; that we know that our universe gets always bigger; but why? This will open more and more new questions]
Can we create an virtual universe to list all particles?
WHAT is an particle? [If the CERN founds new particles; we need to restart...]
(By the way: I am sure the CERN did not found the Higgs-Boson. It could be an Technicolor-Boson. I guess they will find the Higgs-Boson over 14 TeV.)

Aaaaaaaaaaaah... Africa :)
My early stomping ground...
I do miss the skies...
...and the odd jobs...
...and the pace... :)

As I AM the "flight crew" *remove dust from windscreen* my chances of hitting the herd-ees as opposed to my own feet is... marginal to say the least...

It's alright Aurel... I fixed it with some pictures :)

On closer inspection with my sleep deprived eyes (I had just got off of a night train for that first post) it is indeed NOT a C130. The engine nacelles are wrong, too.

Hmm. Knit one perl two. Had not thought about that.

Might not be an AN-12, there

Actually it is spelt Purl. Did you know that to "come a purler" came from knitting whaen you dropped a stitch?
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now
Brr. It´s cold

Brr. It´s cold outside...this night is snow expected; round about 5 cm.
Hmm. More time for math. Any interested about the heavy goldbachs conjecture?
"Every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two primes"
Mhm, the valdiation progress is at 4x10^18, see the following link.

A few months ago I tried to make art...
That was the result...mhm, just somethink not usefull...
Some other art...from better persons
