USAF U-2 Avionics Technician tells why S-300 and S-400 SAMs would not be able to shoot down the SR-71 Blackbird

The SR-71 Blackbird

The SR-71 spy plane, the most advanced member of the Blackbird family that included the A-12 and YF-12, was designed by a team of Lockheed personnel led by Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, then vice president of Lockheed’s Advanced Development Company Projects, commonly known as the “Skunk Works” and now a part of Lockheed Martin. The Blackbird completed its first flight on Dec. 22, 1964.

SR-71 T-Shirts

CLICK HERE to see The Aviation Geek Club contributor Linda Sheffield’s T-shirt designs! Linda has a personal relationship with the SR-71 because her father Butch Sheffield flew the Blackbird from test flight in 1965 until 1973. Butch’s Granddaughter’s Lisa Burroughs and Susan Miller are graphic designers. They designed most of the merchandise that is for sale on Threadless. A percentage of the profits go to Flight Test Museum at Edwards Air Force Base. This nonprofit charity is personal to the Sheffield family because they are raising money to house SR-71, #955. This was the first Blackbird that Butch Sheffield flew on Oct. 4, 1965.

The SR-71 was designed to cruise at “Mach 3+,” just over three times the speed of sound or more than 2,200 miles per hour and at altitudes up to 85,000 feet.

During its 24 years of service, the SR-71 Blackbird gathered intelligence in some of the world’s most hostile environments. The Blackbird evaded all the missiles fired at it and, to this day, remains the only USAF aircraft to never lose a crewmember associated with it; whether in the air or on the ground.

But could the SR-71 be shot down by missile systems such as Russia’s S-300 or S-400?

SR-71 Blackbird Vs S-300 Vs S-400

But could the SR-71 be shot down by missile systems such as Russia’s S-300 or S-400?

‘Looks like I’m going to give the only “no” answer so far,’ Damien Leimbach, former USAF Avionics Technician on U-2 aircraft, says on Quora.

‘The S-200, S-300 and S-400 are amazing platforms, and given their stated performance, the 300 and 400 could probably hit a target at the Sr-71’s speed and altitude. But that is not the same as hitting an SR-71.

‘Now, could those missiles shoot down the version of the SR-71 that existed in the 70’s or 80’s? Sure.

USAF U-2 Avionics Technician tells why S-300 and S-400 SAMs would not be able to shoot down the SR-71 Blackbird

S-400 SAM

‘But the question was could it shoot down the SR-71 if it were still in service, and if it were still in service, it would have received the same jamming and Electronic Warfare upgrades as other planes have.

‘Would these EW jammer upgrades make the plane immune from those missiles? Yes it would.

‘How do I know? Well, because I spent 6 years, recently, working on the sibling of the SR-71, the U-2 and as an electronics specialist I was directly responsible for installing and maintaining the AN-ALQ 221 jammer that made our high flying (but slow moving) plane immune to those missiles as well.

‘The U-2 and the SR-71 don’t just take pictures. They listen to cell phones. They monitor radios. And they also listen to, record and analyze the frequencies, pulse rates, variable modes and power outputs of enemy SAM systems like the S-200, 300 and 400.’

Knowing everything about S-300 and S-400

He continues;

‘We know everything about them. We know how they work, so it’s very easy to design systems to defeat them. The -300 is 1970’s Russian technology, which makes it about as sophisticated from an electronics standpoint as 1950’s American tech. The 400 is just an upgraded version of that. But we’ve had a long time to study them and build electronic countermeasures.

‘When the Berlin wall fell in 1989, and East and West Germany reunified, the very first thing NATO did was go in and scoop up all the Russian military tech it could find. We got T-80’s, We got Fulcrums and we got entire missile battalions worth of S-300 missiles.

‘When other very poor nations like Belarus and Moldova split away from the USSR, we bought other stuff, like Flankers, Hinds, and more missile systems.

‘Only Russia, China and India operate the -400, but as much as they want access to American markets, I’m more than sure we’ve been allowed to peek at the equipment, and a missile or two may have fallen off a truck somewhere.

S-300 and S-400 could not shoot down the SR-71 Blackbird

‘Maybe its cheating a little, but buying out the competition is the American way. The point is, we know exactly what their missile systems can do and we’ve known for a long time. We build those upgrades into the U-2 and if we still flew the SR-71, we would build them into it as well.’

Leimbach concludes;

‘So, no, if modern weapons can’t even take down the U-2, they could not shoot down the SR-71.’

First Look: The McLaren GT

McLaren Automotive today reveals its unique interpretation of a modern Grand Tourer: the new McLaren GT.  Sleek, elegant and muscular, the superlight new GT challenges the conventions of the Grand Tourer category with a compelling blend of beautiful design, high-quality innovative materials, true supercar performance and McLaren driving dynamics and engagement.

In re-imagining the spirit of traditional Grand Touring – long distance driving in comfort, at higher speeds and with room for luggage – McLaren has also redefined the modern GT ownership experience with a car that is lighter, faster and more engaging than existing products in the segment.

The performance statistics* speak for themselves: with a launch control function optimizing acceleration from 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds, 0-124mph is dispatched in 9.0 seconds. The maximum speed of the McLaren GT is 203mph.

Like all McLarens, the new GT has a carbon fiber structure that possesses exceptional strength and rigidity, while enabling unparalleled driving dynamics and lightest-in-class curbweight. At 3,232lbs (DIN), the McLaren GT is more than 286lbs lighter than its closest core competitor and literally hundreds of pounds less than other cars in the segment. With 612bhp from its 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the power-to-weight ratio of the superlight new McLaren GT is a remarkable 399bhp-per-ton.

The bespoke MonoCell II-T monocoque – the T denoting ‘Touring’ – incorporates a carbon fiber rear upper structure that adds minimal weight but allows the creation of a 14.8 cubic feet luggage area below the front-hinged, full-length glazed tailgate. The tailgate has a soft-close function as standard and can be optioned as electrically powered.

The low height of the engine and positioning of the exhaust system has allowed the volume, shape and usability of the luggage bay to be optimized. A golf bag or two pairs of 185cm skis and boots as well as luggage can be carried with ease, while a further 5.3 cubic feet of storage at the front means the new McLaren GT can accommodate a total of 20.1 cubic feet.

The strength of the carbon fiber core structure means that glazed C-pillars and rear-quarter windows can be incorporated into the design, enhancing rearward vision and bringing still more light into an inherently spacious and uncluttered cabin. Dihedral doors that swing upwards to expose a wide opening and low sill.

The interior is a cosseting space designed to delight on longer journeys, but with all the essentials for focused, high performance driving; the seating position, location of controls and forward visibility are as important here as they are in any McLaren. The streamlined, electrically adjusted and heated seats, which are unique to the McLaren GT, have been engineered to meet the requirements of Grand Touring, being optimized for long-distance comfort, with the perfect amount of padding and shoulder and back support in combination with superb lateral control.

Technology and modern craftsmanship share equal prominence the new McLaren GT, with the finest high-quality materials complemented by features such as the most sophisticated McLaren infotainment system to date; hidden-until-lit ambient lighting and the option of an electrochromic glazed panel in lieu of the standard carbon fiber composite gloss black roof, darkening or lightening at the touch of a button. Machined and knurled aluminum switches and controls – including the steering wheel-mounted gearshift paddles – contrast with gloss black surrounds for the infotainment screen, window switches, gear-selection console and air vent housings. A 12-speaker, Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system featuring carbon fiber sub-bass woofers and Kevlar mid-range drive units, is available.

The Nappa leather trim that features as standard can be upgraded to softgrain luxury leather or Alcantara®, depending on which vehicle specification is chosen. Cashmere will become available as an additional choice towards the end of 2019 – the first time that this exclusive material has been used in a production vehicle. SuperFabric trim for the rear luggage bay is another option, the innovative woven fabric that is infused with a layer of tiny armored guard plates providing increased resistance to stains, cuts, nicks and abrasions, as well as being breathable, easy to clean and quick to dry.

The infotainment system developed for the new McLaren GT is the company’s most sophisticated to date. Among the fastest-operating in any car, it also features industry-standard HERE navigation mapping and real-time traffic information.  The driver interface operates in a similar way to a smartphone and the seven-inch central touchscreen is used to select from vehicle functions such as satellite navigation, Bluetooth telephony, media streaming and voice activation. DAB digital radio (or Sirius satellite radio in North America) is standard. Heating and ventilation controls are also incorporated into the touchscreen, ensuring ease of use and reducing the overall number of switches and controls. Dual-zone climate control and air conditioning are standard, with the system allowing fully automatic and independent settings for both the driver and passenger.

Ahead of the driver and providing key vehicle information is a 12.3” TFT screen. The instrument graphics are like those seen on aircraft, the aeronautical influences delivering clear, crisp displays that are easy to read.  In addition to vehicle speed, gear selection and engine revs, the instrument cluster can also display turn-by-turn navigation, phone calls, chosen audio output and tire temperatures and pressures. When a reversing camera has been specified, the image behind the vehicle is displayed when reverse gear is selected, which keeps the driver’s eyeline as high as possible.

As befits a Grand Tourer, ambient refinement was a priority for the new McLaren GT from the outset. Unique engine mounts that are half the stiffness of those in the track-focused McLaren 600LT help to minimize structure-borne noise, while low-frequency sounds emitting from the carbon fiber structure are reduced rather than amplified into the cabin in the way that they are in the McLaren Senna; in Comfort mode, the new McLaren GT is the most refined McLaren ever.

Creating a new type of McLaren – and the first true Grand Tourer from the brand – saw the McLaren design team embracing the visual history of Grand Touring cars while remaining true to the philosophies that underpin all McLaren design. The long, elegant exterior lines that are widely recognized as Grand Tourer design cues are executed in the new McLaren GT according to the aerodynamic principles that define every McLaren. The muscular rear fenders – another design trait commonplace in Grand Touring history – are an example of the form of every McLaren being true to its function, incorporating here the air intakes for the high-temperature radiators that cool the engine.

At over 15 feet, the new McLaren is longer than any of the cars in the McLaren Sports or Super Series. The front and rear overhangs extend further than is traditional for McLaren, but the 10-degree approach angle at the front (13-degree with vehicle lift engaged) means the new McLaren GT can cope with the most aggressive traffic calming measures. In combination with underbody clearance of 4.3in (5.1in with vehicle lift) this ensures the car is eminently usable in all urban situations; not only is it competitive with all rivals, but in ‘lift’ mode it is the equal of mainstream sedans.

The width and stance of the new McLaren GT are emphasized at the front by the signature ‘hammerhead line’ that runs horizontally across the nose and draws the eye out to the sides of the vehicle. At the rear, an integrated fixed rear wing, large diffuser and substantial exhaust tailpipes are reminders that this is a Grand Tourer with supercar performance.

The source of that performance is a new, 612bhp PS 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged engine, designated M840TE. Further expanding the family of McLaren V8 engines, it is bespoke to the new McLaren GT and has the immense power and torque and superior exhaust sound quality that are the hallmarks of a true Grand Tourer. Torque of 465lb ft is produced between 5,500rpm and 6,500rpm, with more than 95% of this available from 3,000rpm to 7,250rpm. The new engine is mated to a 7-speed SSG transmission to deliver linear, seamless and relentless acceleration.

Another defining element of the new McLaren GT – and arguably what will cement its position as the new segment leader – is its dynamic prowess. The suspension, steering and brakes are all bespoke to the car and optimized to provide an outstanding Grand Touring driving experience, with inherent balance, responsiveness and precision, yet better ride comfort, than any other McLaren.

The suspension is a lightweight aluminum, double wishbone design, paired in the new McLaren GT with hydraulic dampers to deliver Proactive Damping Control. Governed by the most sophisticated iteration yet of the pioneering Optimal Control Theory software algorithm developed for the 720S, the suspension uses inputs from sensors to ‘read’ the road, interpreting what will likely happen next and reacting predictively in just two milliseconds. Overall, body movement is tailored for occupant comfort and vertical load and contact patch variation are optimized to enhance grip levels, but each of the three active dynamics handling modes – Comfort, Sport and Track – has its own distinct set of parameters to reflect the selected preference, for example, a particularly compliant ride in Comfort mode.

Driving precision and enjoyment is further enhanced in new McLaren GT by hydraulic steering, which uses a single software ‘map’ across Comfort, Sport and Track modes to deliver optimal feel and response. Reflecting the requirements of the new McLaren GT, it also provides increased assistance at low speeds to aid urban driving and parking, without loss of rewarding feedback at higher speeds.

Just as the steering response more than meets expectations across the wide range of Grand Touring driving styles, so too do the tires and brakes. McLaren and its technical partner, Pirelli, have developed a bespoke P ZERO tire for the new McLaren GT that meets the demands of high-performance driving and comfort and refinement in equal measure. The 21-inch alloy rear wheels, which are the largest ever fitted to a McLaren, are paired with 20-inch at the front and available in 7- or 15-spoke designs.

The high-performance braking system has also been designed to deliver across the full range of requirements, from precise pedal feel and hard deceleration when driving at higher speeds to usability and comfort at lower speeds or when holding the vehicle in traffic, where less pedal effort is preferable.

The new McLaren GT is available to order now with a starting MSRP of $210,000 (USD) from McLaren retailers worldwide, with customer deliveries commencing towards the end of 2019.

A personal progression through flight sims

Other than a glowing instrument panel, there was total blackness inside the monster machine that was meant to represent the cockpit of a T-something. In 1969, the surplus simulator with its primitive computer took up most of a room in the Aviation Building at Lewis College. My roommate, Newt, was a student at the aviation school. I was an undeclared sophomore, on more or less of a BA track.

It sometimes feels like you’re fighting a monster when you’re flying a sim.

While I sat inside the machine, Newt stood in front of the control console, staring at the switches and dials, scratching his head. How hard could this be? Without benefit of supervision, two model airplane nerds managed to fire up the donated beast and took turns testing non-existent piloting skills. As I fully expected, my takeoff was great. However, my attempt to land the thing left me roaring along inverted (cool!) at what the instruments indicated was 200 feet BGL. I may have been overconfident.

Shortly after the state eliminated its college grant program, I left Lewis to begin a dazzling career as a commercial artist drawing stick figures for gum balls. (Hey… those things don’t draw themselves.) Without me inhibiting its potential, Lewis College grew into Lewis University. Newt went on to become an honest-to-goodness A&P mechanic and landed what turned out to be one of the briefest jobs in aviation history with an aircraft maintenance shop at a busy GA airport near Chicago.

The good news is that Newt’s decision to place a hot work light under the unbuttoned engine of a Cessna while loosening a fuel fitting left him more stunned than seared. The bad news is that his career in aviation ended that day with only an extra-crispy Lycoming and a sooty smudge on the hangar ceiling to show for it.

Meanwhile, at the University of Illinois, two more-capable roommates wrote a computer program for their Apple II, calling it A2FS1 Flight Simulator. Bruce Artwick, a computer graphics guy, along with marketing student and pilot, Stu Moment, formed a company named SubLogic to sell their home-grown computer games. With their program a person could fly a simulated aircraft over a five-square-mile grid of primitive wire-frame graphics. It was outstanding! By 1984, they ported it to the more affordable Commodore 64, where the program gained color graphics and additional scenery. It even had a dogfight game built into it. My very first computer was a C64 purchased specifically to run Flight Simulator II.

In short order, Kraft, a manufacturer of radio-control systems for model airplanes, used their expertise in three-access gimbal controller technology to manufacture joysticks for computers. Things were getting real!

Soon it was possible to buy six additional scenery disks that covered states in the western US. At the time, Computer Gaming World noted that the disks should really be referred to as “airport disks more than scenery disks, as the airports are there but the scenery is sparse.” Nevertheless, our imaginations filled in what was lacking.

Microsoft came knocking at SubLogic’s door in the early 1980s to get them to build an IBM version of the flight simulator. With the power of 16 bits and more available memory, an improved instrument panel, shaded graphics, and views from a chase plane and control tower became possible.

We’ve come a long way from here…

In the mid 1990s, an exceptional computer geek by the name of Austin Meyers, frustrated with “the obvious lack of anyone else doing the job right,” created his own flight simulator program. Meyer’s brainchild, X-Plane, earned kudos for its highly realistic flight physics due to its use of blade element theory to compute the forces, moments, and parts of aircraft in real time. I have no idea what any of that is, but it sure sounds cool. Today, Meyer and his company, Laminar Research, continue to push X-Plane 11 to new heights.

As always, computer hardware and software keep leap-frogging each other. The ability to run the latest version of a flight simulator becomes the primary reason for serious simmers to upgrade their computers. Like most mortals, I’ve never been able to afford the heavy-duty computer hardware needed to watch sim scenery run smoothly at blazing refresh rates. It still amazes me when the view out of a real airplane window doesn’t stutter.

This past year, after 14 years of ignoring the last edition of their flight sim program, Microsoft released a completely reworked version with what appears to be astonishingly realistic graphics. Running it might dim the lights at Fermi Lab, but it gives my old laptop something to aspire to.

Though this pandemic year of self-quarantines may have put a cork in my ability to log actual flight time, there have been bright spots. My 2006 version of MS Flight Sim X and its Garmin 430-equipped Cessna 172 is capable of linking wirelessly to ForeFlight on my iPad to make it think it’s in a real airplane. That may not help with pattern work, but it’s a useful way of keeping navigation skills fresh.

My sim software may be outdated by 14 years but it is smart enough to recognize that an indication of 200 feet BGL is definitely a hard stop. Good sim!

Iconic Logos that Redefined The Corporate Identity World Forever

Consistently, somewhere near the world, an architect is endeavoring to plan or upgrade a corporate personality of a current of future brand. Numerous organizations have updated their logo to invigorate or change their picture by zeroing in on the utilization of level plan.

A portion of the organizations are popular to the point that their fans digitize logo on their shirt out of their sheer love.

As feel spirits, we are consistently watching out of the best visual character changes by industry crossing patterns and styles.

digitizing logos

1. Apple – The Success of Flat Design

Cricket World Cup's logo affirmed the rule of level plan. This style of configuration utilizes straightforward shapes, straightens the lines and plays fundamentally on typography. This fundamental line of direct is the quest for effortlessness among organizations in their correspondence system.

Subsequently, since the arrival of the iOS7 Apple, skeumorphism (style of configuration utilizing trimming, beautification, subtleties around a unique article) dear to Steve Jobs has continuously vanished for the moderate way to deal with level plan in for all intents and purposes each aspect of the brand.

The current logo plan of Apple has supported the work on sharp lines with next to no detail, applying in a real sense the well known saying "less is better". They advance this logo at whatever point they get an opportunity. You will see Apple representatives gladly wearing tweaked blue shirt of the while apple logo, expertly done by weaving digitizers.

2. Google – The Birth of Tech 2.0 Sector

Google is perceived as a standout amongst other Tech 2.0 brand character. As to their much discussed logo-transformation, the change appears to have offered way to some comprehension of effortlessness. Some have discovered that it reacts impeccably to the "keep it basic" pattern existing apart from everything else.

For new companies, the utilization of visual computerization is regularly not a need. Indeed, this sort of venture commonly just occurs after a specific phase of progress and hence of achievement – when they have more information, time and assets to settle on the best choices with respect to their visual personality.

As a portion of the above logos show, the light blue tone, regularly utilized by new businesses (like IBM), was at long last deserted on the grounds that it was viewed as excessively youthful – for more powerful tones like red, green and additionally more profound, more develop blues. Prearranged text style like sans were at last supplanted by Sans-Serif, or Google-Sarif, f I may put it that way.

For an area that highly esteems driving industry norms further constantly, it is by all accounts gradually conforming. It will be intriguing to see its graphical development in the years to come.

3. Netflix – The Return of the Logotype

Netflix hung out in media outlets.

Similarly that level plan has extended moderation into the spotlight this year, the logo has additionally had its snapshot of brilliance. The symbols and confounded shapes have offered approach to straightforward and rich realistic medicines. While a few organizations have just rolled out minor improvements to their logo, others have utilized the logo to give new life to their visual personality.

Note that the quest for straightforwardness is a long way from simple in a logo. The resultant union exertion carries a great deal of intricacy to the visual computerization. The logo of the world's most renowned organization CocaCola is another ideal model.

Coke's clerk Frank M Robinson, was the one who thought of the brand name as well as its cursive content typeface. He had the option to implant smart textual style in their logo, which turned into the legacy of the brand from that point forward. The outcome is exceptionally clever since it consolidates the innovation of plan with remarkable authentic establishments.

4. FedEx and Southwest – Arrival of Floral Colors and Negative Space

Have you seen the "forward-moving" bolt among E and x in Fedex logo? It was not unintentional. Linder Leader and Lander Associates, intentionally attempted spot the right-confronting bolt to convey speed and exactness of the world well known brand.

Southwest has saved the plane for a diverse heart to grandstand their qualities and qualities that are communicated by what they call "a heartbeat as one". Soutwest, is a heart breaker aircraft for Americans since 1971. They end up being #1 minimal expense choice with legitimate fun delightfully weaved in all that they do.

They dropped the plane symbol to all the more likely delineate their broadening into different areas, for example, the auto and friendliness ventures.

According to a pragmatic perspective, the upgrade of logo doesn't stop there. It includes numerous progressions for every one of these brands: a recharging of the dressing planes, air terminal counters, new tickets, an overhaul of the site around the logo, the versatile application … and considerably more! Overhauling a brand personality – particularly in the carrier business – is certainly not a simple undertaking.

5. McDonald – "Go Global Act Local" plan Strategy

The enormous "M" – the brilliant hurts, is the most perceived brand logo of the world. No one however that a 1940's popular grill brand would end up being inseparable from Food and Drink with fun.

The McDonald logo address its design that is as much adored by their fans as their food. The Brand partner understood that and join this brand character in practically the entirety of their outlets around the world.

The brand logo, notwithstanding, went through different changes to mirror the nearby culture while keeping up with their worldwide persona. McDonald's logo planners added shadows, new mottos, and furthermore played other promoting security.

6. StarBucks – Unorthodox Symbols fit Artwork

Does a mermaid have anything to do with a hot espresso? Indeed, it has. Starbucks demonstrated that by concocting an abnormal looking alarm (presently covered with her hairs for a nice look) with her two tails facing up.

Indeed, it probably won't sound good to you in sensible terms. However, it clearly does to 500 clients day by day. The brand resounds well to a great many fans all throughout the planet despite the fact that there isn't Starbucks written in the logo. The current fine art is the brainchild of Terry Heckler who took the motivation of notable two-followed mermaid from the marine books.

This whole decade was wealthy in plan. Numerous enormous organizations made a move to think of brand personality through slight changes in their logo for a few and more checked changes for others needed to show an advancement in their turn of events.

You will be redirected to the purchasing page. The home version is enough to run the game. Note: the performance depends on the hardware of your device.

Play Microsoft Flight Simulator with Boot Camp

Boot Camp gives you an opportunity to launch Microsoft Flight Simulator on your Mac OS natively. All you need is to launch Boot Camp and install Windows with the help of this application. Then you can simply launch Windows and then run any game you need. However, this solution is not so fast, as Parallels, as Boot Camp requires a great amount of hard disk resources to work. So you need a very fast hard drive. Moreover, when you are done with the game and you need to return to Mac OS, you will have to reboot your device. So you should be ready to some performance issue while playing. If you are still not sure, we have one more solution for you!

Don’t be afraid of stutters and freezes – the hardware of these computers will perform any game with ultra settings. However, you need good internet speed to enjoy the gameplay.

FINAL WORDS: however, there are not all possible solutions to run Microsoft Flight Simulator on your favorite platform, but they are the best ones. GeForce Now can give you the best experience, but it requires a fast internet connection. Boot Camp is also OK, but it requires a lot of free disk space and its performance can vary. Parallels can be the best choice too, but it also depends on Mac’s hardware.

Player Review-1944: The Loop Master (2000) Developers-8ing/Raizing Publishers-Capcom Platforms-Arcade, GameTap Series-194X Genres-Vertical Scrolling Shooter Modes-Single-Player, 2-Player Co-op Arcade System-CP System II

1944: The Loop Master is undoubtedly the masterpiece of Capcom's 19XX franchise. As I stated in my review of 1941: Counter Attack, it feels like every game in the series is ACTUALLY the same game, getting better and better each time until they produce the final product, which would be this.  This isn't Capcom's greatest effort in the vertical-scrolling shooter genre BUT it is definitely one of the best.

What makes this one so much better than it's predecessors? Let's start with the visuals. 1944 being created over a decade after the first game in the series means massive graphical upgrades, it means more detail, it means better looking stages, better designed enemy aircraft and that more can be happening on the screen at once which adds to the chaos and difficulty of the gameplay. There seems to be an actual art direction and an attempt to create an actual atmosphere around the game so it doesn't feel so empty and devoid of character. Each stage feels like it’s own battle and it's own moment within the war so there is some semblance of story here. Titles that ran on Capcom's CPS-II arcade system board used the Qsound processing algorithm so this game could have a legitimate soundtrack and vibrant sound effects. The background music has a very "Top Gun/80's action movie" flavor to it.

The problem with the previous games is that they were so tedious and repetitive that they almost didn't feel like games at all, they felt like tasks or chores..things you didn't want to do but you had to do. 1944 actually feels like a game. It's actually fun to play both alone and with a friend. Strategizing on how to take out each special target and how to get to it's weak points without taking substantial damage was actually entertaining as opposed to just mindlessly floating through level after level of boring enemies that barely offer a challenge. The game calculating the amount of enemies on the level you destroyed actually makes sense for this installment more than some of the earlier games in the series because it's actually hard to destroy some of the different tanks, warships and bombers. I actually ended up with less than 100% accuracy in 1942 or 1943 for some levels because I got tired of even pushing the fire button.

THE GOOD -Capcom teamed up with Eighting/Raizing to create this title who you may know for creating the Bloody Roar franchise, but they are also absolute masters when it comes to the vertical-scrolling shooter genre. If you can't have any fun playing this...you just don't like these types of games.

-Although there is still isn't much of a story present in this game, they at least do their due diligence to create a unique and interesting atmosphere around it. I assume that because it deals with an event that actually happened (World War II), Capcom didn't want to put their own spin on it, which is understandable but at the very least the game feels like it's own world. It has it's own energy.

-If you are able to utilize the charge shot properly as well as the other power-ups, the stages actually go pretty quickly.

-The game is only 15 levels so even though right off the bat it's alot more fun than the games that preceded it, it doesn't give you a chance to get bored of it before it's over.

THE BAD -1944 isn't as interesting as many of the other games in this genre and even some distributed by Capcom themselves because it deals with our own actual history so it doesn't have as much material to work with as titles that went the science fiction route. This is more of a nitpick than anything though because there is nothing actually wrong with using a more realistic atmosphere for a game.

I give 1944: The Loop Master a 7.9 out of 10 SOLID

First Look at the Mac Pro 2019: Release Date, Price and Specs

  Finally, Apple revealed the new Mac Pro 2019 at WWDC 2019, complete with the modern high-end hardware that creatives and professionals have been demanding from Apple’s most powerful computer for years. The new Mac Pro 2019 has up to a 28-core Intel Xeon processor, on top of 1.5TB of 6-channel ECC system memory, which means that you’ll be hard-pressed to run into any task that's too intense for the new Mac Pro. We got a first glimpse at the new Mac desktop replacement for the Mac Pro 2013, and this revision allows for modular upgrades, just in case having up to a 28-core Xeon processor isn’t enough for you down the line. The Mac Pro 2019 is, without a doubt, built with an eye for the future – and looks like it came from the future as well. The new Mac Pro features a stainless-steel frame that ditches the cylindrical 'bin' look of the 2013 model in favor of a more traditional tower chassis that hearkens back to older Mac Pro models. Visually, the front and back are filled with uniquely designed vent holes, setting it apart from the more traditional look. The power and design come together when you pop open the computer from the top. You can lift off the aluminum housing for 360-degree access to just about every component. Alongside the Mac Pro 2019, Apple is also rolling out a new professional display – the Pro Display XDR – which comes with a matching design that compliments the Mac Pro 2019’s new look. This monitor boasts a 32-inch Retina 6K display (the world's first), and the next level in high-dynamic range (HDR) or what Apple calls Extreme Dynamic Range (or XDR). This 32-inch 6K display features a Nano-Texture surface meant to minimize reflections without affecting the image quality. Additionally, because every single LED is calibrated at the factory level for HDR, Apple is able to deliver high-dynamic range like never seen before. Apple does this by using a unique lattice cooling pattern on the back of the display in order to maintain 1,000 nits of brightness at all times – with 1,600 nits of peak brightness. This display is able to produce stunning images, as well, thanks to its 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. All of these specs combine to deliver a new technology Apple is calling Extreme Dynamic Range or XDR, the next generation of HDR. Unsurprisingly, this display will cost you $4,999 (about £3,950, AU$7,270) for the standard version, and $5,999 (about £4,730, AU$8.720) for the Nano-texture equipped version.

The Pro Display XDR looks stunning. Naturally, the new Mac Pro 2019's companion screen comes separately, as do the color-tweaked keyboard, mouse and trackpad. That's always been the case with Mac Pro configurations – it's going to be an investment for everything, which means it’s not for everyone. In fact, Apple is targeting the new Mac Pro 2019 for production crews and serious creators. This isn't a computer that's really made for the average consumer, as you'll find the spec and price to be far in excess of what you need – and what you can afford. Cut to the chase What is it? Apple's new dedicated desktop When is it out? September – November 2019 What will it cost? Starts at $5,999 (about £4,730, AU$8.720) Mac Pro 2019 release date and price What's waiting a few more months for the new Mac Pro 2019 when we've been holding our breath for several years to get our hands on this desktop computer? Apple announced the Mac Pro 2019 release date for "fall 2019," meaning that it will most likely be here between September and November. Apple has favored October for a lot of previous computer launches, and that falls into this release window. The Mac Pro 2019 price starts at $5,999 (about £4,730, AU$8.720). That’s for the base model with an 8-core Intel Xeon processor (CPU), Radeon 580X graphics processor (GPU) and 32GB of ECC memory (RAM). But remember, the Pro Display XDR – for $4,999 (about £4,000, AU$7,150) – is a separate purchase, as is the Pro Stand for $999 (about £800, AU$1,400) and VESA Mount Adapter for $199 (about £160, AU$285). We only know the price for the base model so far, but a recent estimate suggests it could cost as high as $45,000 (around £35,000, AU$65,000). A new design For those that were unmoved with the previous Mac Pro's design, the Mac Pro 2019’s design is far more industrial and modular. The Mac Pro's leanings are more traditional with the combination of brushed aluminum and heat sink holes festooning the outer shell, which unfortunately makes it resemble an industrial cheese grater. It's brutal and says 'this is for working on, not for looking good.’ However, it’s rack-mountable, and you can screw wheels on the bottom to move it around an office or studio. We'll get to the performance of the new Mac Pro in just a moment, but one thing that's worth mentioning about the new model is how much innards you can cram inside such a small space. In fact, one music producer told us that previously one would need to use multiple machines to mix a score, whereas those three or four could now be squished into the body of Apple's Mac Pro 2019. Apple has also furnished the Mac Pro 2019 with a unique cooling system, which maximizes airflow while keeping the noise down. Even with the massive fans, this powerhouse will not distract you from your work. There's also the advantage of the multiple Thunderbolt ports on top of the machine, allowing for easier access inside. Mac Pro 2019 specs and performance When it comes to specifications, Apple is taking a no-holds-barred approach, cramming some seriously formidable hardware into the body of the new Mac Pro 2019.

The rear view of both the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR. The base model comes with a new 8-core Intel Xeon processor, which should give plenty of horsepower for multitasking. The Xeon line of CPUs are designed for professional workstations – and, this can be configured up to a Xeon processor with an astonishing 28 cores. The more cores, the better it can handle multiple tasks at once – so the processor powering the new Mac Pro will undoubtedly tackle even the most strenuous creative tasks without so much as breaking a sweat. As with Apple’s other prosumer computer, the iMac Pro, the Mac Pro 2019 boasts an AMD graphics card, starting with the Radeon Pro 580X and up to the Radeon Pro Vega II, which features 32GB of high-bandwidth memory – 1TB/s to be precise. That makes it the highest memory bandwidth of any GPU. If that’s not enough, you can also deck it out with the AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo, which features two Vega II GPUs for a total of 64GB of memory – making it the world’s most powerful graphics card.

The removable lid and shell via the semi-circle handle. These GPUs are fitted into the Apple MPX Module, which easily slot into the Mac Pro, offering quiet operation while being kept cool by the Mac Pro’s own cooling system. Impressively, the Mac Pro 2019 can have two MPX Modules installed at once. That means that if you have the need  – and the budget – you can install two Vega II Duos for an insane 128GB of video memory and 56 teraflops of graphics performance. All this output requires a lot of power, which is why there's a 1.4kW power supply powering the machine. However, the sound is pretty cool despite the fans inside, and when seeing it running at full power, we didn't feel a huge amount of heat emanating from the rear, nor heard anything like a light aircraft trying to take off. This kind of graphical grunt will destroy most video encoding and rendering tasks – even at resolutions of 8K and above. While we’d love to imagine what the gaming capability of this level of firepower is like, this machine is going to be purely of interest to video professionals that need to render ultra-high resolution footage quickly. Seeing it in real-time, you could see and feel the raw power of the rendering capabilities of the Mac Pro 2019. 3D imagery could be manipulated in real-time with multiple shading and lighting changes, meaning the need to ship projects off to a rendering farm won't be necessary for many tasks in the future. One creative artist estimated the raw power of the extra cores gave him around four times the performance previously available, meaning he had far more time to allot to his artwork and the creative process rather than standing around to see if the images and videos had shown as intended. Being able to manipulate 8K streams so flawlessly was impressive - an engineer we spoke to claimed that using the Mac Pro 2019 was akin to when '1080p was finally able to be used properly,’ meaning that the speed of manipulation was finally able to be used properly.

Not a bad look for Apple's newest professional gear. Memory-wise, the Mac Pro 2019 supports six-channel memory and comes with 12 slots, which allows you to install up to 1.5TB of RAM. In a demonstration, this allowed a full orchestra-worth of instruments to be rendered within that RAM space, meaning that a rack of PCs can now be replaced by a single Mac Pro unit, with the output slickly creating right in front of our eyes. Again, this makes the Mac Pro 2019 a workstation that’s designed to breeze through multitasking. PCI Express slots also make a comeback, with eight in total, to offer plenty of options to expand the Mac Pro’s capabilities in the future. Even at the entry-level with an 8-core Intel Xeon processor with a max turbo boost of 4.0GHz and 32GB of ECC RAM, you should be able to handle most situations. The Mac Pro 2019 is definitely not meant for everyday computing, not that most users would feel comfortable paying such a high price. The entry model Mac Pro comes with a 256GB SSD, which is the only part of the specifications that seems a bit constrained since that doesn't offer much storage space these days. However, you'll be able to upgrade it with up to a 4TB drive. That's a gigantic SSD and will be a major bonus to any video editors considering this machine. Unfortunately, you will be expected to pay at least $2,000 (about £1,580, AU$2,900) more to upgrade to such an enormous drive. The good news is, most creative professionals have their own, more powerful external SSD drives anyway, so having a smaller storage space isn’t as much of a dealbreaker. The fact that the new Mac Pro 2019 offers such high expansion possibilities is noteworthy, however. This desktop system features eight PCIe expansion slots, so you can keep the Mac Pro current with the latest hardware for the foreseeable future. This is backed up by the new Apple Afterburner accelerator card, which allows users to playback multiple 8K RAW video streams. This should be especially useful for video editors that shoot in very high resolutions. You'll be able to upgrade the RAM too. Even if you just pick up the 32GB model (which is expensive enough already), the new Mac Pro features 12 physical DIMM slots, so you can upgrade your system memory as your needs change. Apple will facilitate new graphics cards with its new MPX module, a PCIe expansion card that not only allows you to slot in more powerful graphics cards but will also feature native Thunderbolt integration and 500W of power. You can have two of these cards in the Mac Pro, allowing you to use two Radeon Pro Vega II GPUs at once. The best part? Getting access to the innards of the new Mac Pro 2019 should be remarkably easy, thanks to the chassis design. The outer aluminum housing is also designed for easy expansion, as it lifts off in one motion, granting easy access to the entire system. These specs certainly sound impressive on paper (if, perhaps, a little overkill for most people), and we look forward to seeing how the Mac Pro 2019 really performs in a full review.

Who is the pilot and later the space man on the Solo soft drink bottle and where did it come from?

Solo Beverage Company, is also known as Joseph Charles Bottling Works and Investments Ltd., is a soft drink manufacturer in Trinidad and Tobago

The name Solo came from a Canadian brand brought in the 1940s.

Where did this pilot then space man mages of Solo come from?

The name Solo from the Solo jet flights? Example: 1939 – First jet-propelled aircraft 1947 First piloted supersonic flight in an airplane. Capt. Charles E. Yeager, U.S. Air Force, flew the X-1 rocket-powered research plane built by Bell Aircraft Corp., faster than the speed of sound at Muroc Air Force Base, Calif. (Oct. 14).

The space man could have come after Yuri Gagarin who was the first person to fly in space. His flight, on April 12, 1961, lasted 108 minutes as he circled the Earth for a little more than one orbit in the Soviet Union's Vostok spacecraft. It was added during the 60s space race by marketing graphic designers.

Was this where the name Solo came from?

The original glass Solo bottle design went through 3-4 design changes the original did not have a pilot or a space man image on it only the name Solo see bottle image.

Where did the Solo name come from? It was during World War II With the advent of World War II, there was a shortage of bottles, since the bottles were imported instead of being manufactured in Trinidad. Joseph Charles became aware of a soft drink factory in Canada that was closing down. He bought the bottles from the Canadian factory and shipped them back to Trinidad. The brand name printed on these bottles was 'Solo' and the logo it did not included a picture of a pilot drinking a soft drink after a solo flight I believe this came after as man went into the space race given by a graphic design upgrade. Joseph kept the brand name and design for the manufacture of his soft drinks with the traditional heavy Solo glass bottles.
