I love '60s !!!!

It's quite usual to hear ppl say "oh, I like to listen to music", or "music is my life".

Well, some of them maybe just think it's cool to say so, but I think everyone more or less has their favorite music style. I have my own favorite for sure, it's not hip-hop nor RnB, it's 60s.

There are two major categories in the 60's music and some icon songs and singer:

(1)Disco
Bee Gees
KC & The Sunshine Band
Gloria Gaynor
Diana Ross
Earth, Wind, & Fire
The Village People...

(2)Anti-War Music
John Lennon
Edwin Starr
Country Joe & the Fish...

I like them all but I got no theory to tell you why I like them. I can't analyze them either. I just like them.
If there is one reason, maybe 'cause these kind of music make me happy.

All right, enough talk, let's enjoy the music!!

(1)Macho Man by The Village People

Yes, they are a gay group, but they have soooo many famous works, eg, YMCA, Macho Man, In the Navy

Well, I love them so much that U have to share another
MV from them...it's classic!!
YMCA


(2)War by Edwin Starr

If you have seem "Rush Hour", you must know this sone.
Very Classic anti war song.

(3)KUNG FU FIGHTING by CARL DOUGLAS

Well, again, this shows Americans can't tell China from Japan.

(4)I Feel Like by Country Joe McDonald

Super classic anti-war song. So famous!!!
The lyrics of this song are so black humor.

(5)California dreamin by The mamas and the papas

This is also super classic icon of 60's rock music.
Lota of remix verison still until now.

(6)Night Fever by The Bee Gees

All right, last but not least, The Bee Gees!!

I LOVE 60s!!!!!

航空救國

相信各位對飛行有興趣的朋友,多多少少應該也會對military fighters有著特殊的情感.
她們外型剽悍,性能優異,馬力強大,重要的是,你可以一個人就把她掌控在手上.

記得曾經有幸坐進F-16的駕駛艙(當然,是on ground...)
到現在都忘不了她流線的外型~30度後仰,人體工學設計的座椅.
高科技的電戰系統和我夢寐以求的HUD~左手蓄勢待發的throttle,右手fly-by-wire的control.
雨滴型座艙罩得完美視野...根本就是所有pilot的夢想~~~(至少我啦)

但是說了這麼多,其實我自己應該算是二戰飛機的fan~
不知道為什麼,二戰的螺旋槳戰機比現在各款高科技的戰機還能吸引我.
在這其中,尤其是零式系列戰機,更是我的favorite!!


再二戰時期,歐美國家(尤其大老美)根本不認為日本(或說亞洲)有自製戰機的能力
甚至在得到關於零式戰機的情報後,還戲稱這是不可能飛的起來的玩具.
當然,事實證明了她不但飛的起來,還可以飛的很高,飛的很遠.
在戰爭初期,盟軍的戰機可以說是根本無法匹敵.

撇開戰爭的政治因素不談,
零式戰機在人類航空史上,絕對是個優異的飛行器.
雖然在戰爭後期零式的缺點慢慢暴露出來(eg. 為求機身輕,零式毫無防衛裝甲可言)
但是若就aerodynamic來說,零式的設計可說是創新而優異的.
後其衍生出來的機型如"雷電","震電","疾風","隼"等等,更是更上一層樓的佳作.

有些人的觀念被媒體誤導,認為零式戰鬥機=神風特攻隊=自殺攻擊.
事實當然不是如此,試想,誰會花大錢研發製造飛機,培訓飛行員,只為了做人體炸彈?!
如果真是如此,剛才提到的那些衍生型號也不會出現了.
基本上神風特攻隊的自殺攻擊是到了戰爭後期,日本軍方在做困獸之鬥的時候才出現的戰術
其中最有名的是櫻花型飛機.

除了零戰系列外,我個人的favorite還包括了"P-40"和"P-51野馬".
這兩款飛機都曾在ROCAF服役,其中二戰史上知名的"飛虎隊"所使用的就是P-40.

每次看到影片中那些二戰飛機在空中360度翻滾,高仰角爬伸,快速俯衝~就讓我躍躍欲試
但是回頭看到我的CE-152....
為了小命...我還是在flight simulator裡玩玩就好了吧 ^^||

These are what pilots trained for!!

If you check out some aviation videos, such as those from Discovery,
you can see some documentaries about how pilots deal with emergency situation.

Yeah, without doubt, there is nothing more important than "Safety" when fling.
As the pilot-in-command, that's the priority, nothing more.

Today I just wanna share two of the great landing that I've ever seen.
From the video, you can see some skillful and careful controls and how calm the pilots are when facing emergency.

This is what pilot trained to do!!



This is a King Air twin, its landing gears are totally stuck.
However, the pilots still managed a fantastic emergency landing just like in the
ordinary perfect situation.



This is JetBlue JBU292 A320, pilots found out something wrong with the landing
gears after took off from KBUR. The nose gear was 90 degrees away form where it supposed to be.
Therefore, after dumped the fuel, they made an emergency landing in LAX.
