The US flies a few C-135 research planes with black wings but I'm not sure why one would have a white wing. Could be a lense flare but it looks too uniform with not much bleed for that.]]> French C-135 with one white wing (?)

Looks like a bunker. Also similar to the raised areas that radars are mounted on but a bit too big and the dome is off-set. Why the wide driveway to the top?

Probably not a missile site because there is a large missile site / air defense site to the SW.

Could be just major radar support site for the area defenses.]]> Secure Saudi military site / bunker / ??

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 Fagot (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-15) was a jet fighter developed for the USSR by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where early in the war, it outclassed all enemy fighters. The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced MiG-17 which would oppose American fighters over Vietnam in the 1960s. The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most numerous jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built. Licensed foreign production perhaps raised the total to over 18,000.[1] The Mig-15 is often mentioned along with the F-86 Sabre in lists of the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War and in comparison with fighters of other eras.]]> Mig-15 at Hickam AFB

Black Pond private airstrip

The Black Pond Airfield was evidently built at some point between 1974-93.

The airfield consisted of a single 3,300' paved runway, which was apparently constructed on filled-in land in the middle of the lake.

The airfield does not appear to be very old, as the pavement & markings appear to be relatively recent.

Why was so much effort spent to construct this runway in the middle of the lake, instead of just clearing a patch of land alongside the lake?

Ian Baren reported in 2004, "The story I heard about Black Pond was that the president of the local bank built it for his own use – there is a modern metal hanger on the northeast side. I’ve never seen any plane(s) there though."

Jeff Green reported in 2005, “The land around Black Pond, the pond, and the landing strip all belong to Dean & Wayne Ryder, owners of the Putnam National Bank.

PNB has been around since the middle of the 1800's & the family has owned this land since then.

It [the airfield] sits a few hundred feet from my home.

Frequently on Saturday mornings Wayne (or is it Dean) goes flying or his friends come to visit.

He's got a propjet of some sort, hence the length of the runway.

The runway was built by draining Black Pond then filling in the subsurface for the runway which now connects several small 'islands' that were in the pond.”]]> Black Pond private airstrip

Dragline excavation systems are heavy equipment used in civil engineering and surface mining. In civil engineering the smaller types are used for road and port construction. The larger types are used in strip-mining operations to move overburden above coal, and for tar-sand mining. Draglines are amongst the largest mobile equipment (not water-borne), and weigh in the vicinity of 2000 metric tonnes, though specimens weighing up to 13,000 metric tonnes have also been constructed.

A dragline bucket system consists of a large bucket which is suspended from a boom (a large truss-like structure) with wire ropes. The bucket is maneuvered by means of a number of ropes and chains. The hoistrope, powered by large diesel or electric motors, supports the bucket and hoist-coupler assembly from the boom. The dragrope is used to draw the bucket assembly horizontally. By skillful maneuver of the hoist and the dragropes the bucket is controlled for various operations.]]> Abandoned dragline excavator used for strip mining

The larger types are used in strip-mining operations to move overburden above coal, and for tar-sand mining. Draglines are amongst the largest mobile equipment (not water-borne), and weigh in the vicinity of 2000 metric tonnes, though specimens weighing up to 13,000 metric tonnes have also been constructed.

A dragline bucket system consists of a large bucket which is suspended from a boom (a large truss-like structure) with wire ropes. The bucket is maneuvered by means of a number of ropes and chains. The hoistrope, powered by large diesel or electric motors, supports the bucket and hoist-coupler assembly from the boom. The dragrope is used to draw the bucket assembly horizontally. By skillful maneuver of the hoist and the dragropes the bucket is controlled for various operations.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/abandoned-dragline-excavator-used-for-strip-mining/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/abandoned-dragline-excavator-used-for-strip-mining/ Thu, 01 May 2008 11:22:44 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/abandoned-dragline-excavator-used-for-strip-mining/ 33.63492800 -87.00960100 <![CDATA[Star of people]]> Star of people
