Ah, the Mighty SR-71-
One of the most popular of coins I make.
What an intricate engine Bill!
Fine image! Boy I would hate to work on that.
Well done!

When I worked at Boeing, they gave me the crew escape suit project (post Challenger). Most of our technicians in the lab were suit techs from the SR-71 program. They were recruited because the suit was basically the same as the Blackbird suits and they relocated to us because the SR-71 program was shutting down. They told me the SR-71 was not fully fueled on the ground because at ground static temperatures it leaked fuel like a sieve. When the Blackbird was launched, it had enough fuel for startup, taxi, takeoff and then was immediately refueled in the air. The open cell fuel panels would expand as the Blackbird heated up at operational speed and altitude, thus sealing the panels. I assume the fuselage fuel tanks were bladder type tanks, but the wing tanks were not, similar to the F-4....Show more →
Thanks Ray! Your explanation adds much to the "mechanics" of jet engines.

Glad you're doing all that and not me Jim...That's a lot of storage but raw files are pretty big and 8K files are really big I bet. Can't imagine how much data an 8K 5-10 minute clip would be let alone a 20-60 minute video. On top of all that you have your backups as well, on and off site.

Getting to be RAID expansion planning time. Each of my OWC Thunderbay 8 enclosures have about 30TB of room left, that's roughly 50 assignments, give or take, depending on how much video is involved. I'll fill the new enclosures with 22TB drives which will give me 182 TB, minus 22TB for the RAID 5 configuration. This addition will bring my total back up storage to just over 2 PB and should protect me for a couple of years.
I would have had to do this upgrade a while back but covid put the brakes on my assignment load for a couple of years. I have several clients asking about 8K mastering of their video work so I guess it's time to begin thinking about that....Show more →
Jim, do you, or anyone here on MA2A, know of a software app that automatically backs up your "edits" without I "click and Move"
action. Very time consuming. I am on a Window's 10 PC ?
Sorry this is OT!

On another bad note...MIG-23 plane went down on the east coast during an airshow in Michigan, sounds like no one was injured or died on the ground, but pilots did eject out and I think ok, so that's really good.
Oskkosh had 2 deaths with the Heli and Gyro and A plane crashed in the water killing two that morning over there as well.

Sorry Dan, I'd love to have a program that does that, but have never found one. All my backing up is old school drag and drop.
Dan,
I have used the Windows 10 back up software successfully. It created a mirror image of my computer HD on a USB hard drive. I think I set it up to review computer vs USB HD every day or other day and it successfully maintained a mirror image of the main computer HD. Any and all edits, deletes, actions taking on the computer were tracked and copied. Note, if you delete a file, it will track that as well. But all in all, I was happy with how the free back up software that Microsoft supplied worked for my needs.
Good Luck,
Dan

Thanks Dan!
My primary purpose is backing up my 2 RAID2 arrays with edits I forget to "drag-n-drop" their.
There is a man in California that was a program that is supposed to do this. That is, review and backup only the latest images edited if I forget.

I use SyncBack. Works well for keeping backups current.
My nephew is in a special program at Ft. Rucker, he's getting his fixed wing, multi, commercial, instrument in a very intense curriculum. Tomorrow he starts upset training. He's flying a 450HP turbine Grob.

Great news Jim!!! FT Rucker..home of Army aviation! Is that the 120P JIm?
Wish him luck for me please!
Maybe I will see his DC area unit back flying over my house with a "waggle and a wave" and him flying!

Went to Atlantic City for the preshow practice yesterday. I didn't bring my 600 f4+1.4 TC this time, just the 200-600 on the Sony A1. For quite a few occasions I could use 840mm so I wouldn't have to crop as much. For the show in WV next weekend I will bring the 600+1.4TC, not the 200-600. The only thing that is of interest to me at the WV show is the F-22.
At the practice yesterday, I was surprised to see the NJ Air National Guard's 4 F-16s were armed. I didn't recall seeing that before. I also saw the Luftwaffe's A400M Atlas in the air for the first time. Saw it on ground in the past. Of course a pair P-51 didn't hurt either.
