We went to #LA last week, and watched a beautiful documentary about #BlueWhales in the #CaliforniaScienceCenter. Beautiful and sad, because this magnificient species is on the brink of extinction due to humans killing hundreds of thousands of them in 20th century. One of the final acts of this senseless tragedy was an illegal and underreported mass killing of thousands of blue whales, including entire remaining population in the Indian ocean, by Russian whalers in 1960s.

It only just occurred to me that l've seen, up close, the LAST remaining F-20. Three prototypes were made, the first two of which crashed in 1984 and 1985, killing their pilots.
It's clearly an evolution of the F-5, but with vastly improved performance and state-of-the-art avionics. Pretty neat!

"The Korean Air Aviation Gallery will feature a diverse collection of approximately 20 authentic aircraft, exhibited both on the floor and suspended in mid-air, illustrating unique characteristics and capabilities. Highlights will include: a replica of the Wright Brothers’ 1902 Glider; a Harrier T4 jump-jet; a historic F-100 Super Saber; and the forward 50-feet of a real Korean Air-operated Boeing 747 commercial airliner fuselage, which will serve as the centerpiece of the Aviation Gallery."

At the end of :nasa: #NASA’s #SpaceShuttle program, the #Orbiters were given to museums for display to the public. #Discovery went to the #Smithsonian, #Atlantis remained in #Florida the #KSCVC / #VisitorsComplex at the privately-funded #AtlantisMuseuem.
#Endeavour was given to the #CaliforniaScienceCenter, which planned to display the orbiter as if ready for launch, attached to a spare #ExternalTank and replica #SRBs.
Here, Endeavour is in the #MateDemateDevice / #MDD. The MDD lifts the Orbiter up so that the #ShuttleCarrierAircraft, a #Boeing 747, can have the Shuttle mounted on its back to fly elsewhere, or be removed from the #SCA after being returned to #KSC after landing elsewhere.
The carrier aircraft is visible just under and behind Endeavour.

Had to take a panoramic picture because the #Endeavor is too big to get in a single shot. #CaliforniaScienceCenter
