Vintage Guam Guåhan Great Seal of Guam Island Bamboo-Style Framed Sterling Silver Pendant Charm

Gorgeous and sophisticated, sterling silver pendant charm representing Guam, Tano I’ ManChamorro (“the Land of the Chamorros.”) Guam is the largest and southernmost island of the Mariana Islands chain and because it is the easternmost point and territory of the United States, along with the Northern Mariana Islands, and because of its proximity to the International Date Line, the beautiful island is often referred to as “where America’s day begins.” Due to Guam’s remarkable history and the resilience, strength and innovation of the Guamanian people, the island’s population enjoys a rich, multicultural, modern, and urban diversity.

This stunning and petite pendant charm is of the Great Seal of Guam which portrays Agaña Bay near Hagåtña, a local sailboat and a coconut palm tree with the beautiful name of GUAM. A bamboo-style frame border surrounds the outline of this gorgeous pendant charm, and it has an undisturbed, natural patina that enhances its beauty tremendously. It will be a very elegant conversation starter when worn!

A B-52 Stratofortress from the 2nd Bomb Wing at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam

[ralfmaximus]

Pretty sure how this happened is that while normally a random citizen cannot send things to Guam... the US military can.

Andersen Air Force Base exists on Guam, and they get mail deliveries via USPS just like anyone else (if you know the magic addressing). So the cookies probably accidentally got misrouted to the AFB and once there, the mistake was detected on the receiving end, then sent back.

OKAY CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE FUCK YOU SHIP A PACKAGE OF COOKIES TO A FRIEND WHO LIVES IN NEW JERSEY, ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT GET THERE ON TIME BECAUSE IT SOMEHOW ENDED UP IN GUAM?

I JUST

 B-2 Spirit, Worlds most expensive Aircraft and most expensive air crash

Stealth aircrafts are aircrafts designed around stealth technology. The term "stealth" is often used to describe aircraft or missile systems designed to minimize their radar profile. However, stealth technology goes beyond just radar reduction, aiming to decrease various detectable features of the system, such as visual, noise, heat, and electromagnetic. This technology is also relevant to other systems, especially in ship design. While "stealth" is a commonly used term, the more precise and comprehensive term in military circles is "low observables."

B-2 spirit or Stealth Bomber is the most expensive stealth and overall most expensive aircraft in the world with cost of 2 billion dollars per one unit.

The public first saw the highly classified B-2 on Nov. 22, 1988, in Palmdale, California. It is one of the stealth aircrafts that was used to illegally bomb my country, Serbia, in 1999. It was also utilized in Afghanistan and Iraq.

2008 Andersen Air Force Base B-2 accident is the most expensive air crash in history of aviation and approximate cost of it is 1.4 billion dollars. It was the first operational loss of B-2

The investigation revealed that the B-2 crash occurred after heavy, lashing rains allowed moisture to enter the skin-flush air-data sensors. These sensors provide crucial data, such as airspeed and altitude. Due to the failure of three pressure transducers—caused by condensation inside the devices, -the flight control computers received incorrect information about the aircraft's angle of attack and airspeed. As a result, the cockpit displays showed airspeed that was 12 knots slower than actual speed. After the aircraft lifted off, the flight control system mistakenly interpreted a negative angle of attack. This led to an uncommanded, abrupt 30-degree pitch-up maneuver with a 1.6 g force. The combination of low lift-off speed, extreme angle of attack, and increased drag caused the aircraft to stall, yaw, and descend uncontrollably. Both crew members ejected safely just before the left wing-tip struck the ground near the runway. The aircraft crashed, tumbled, and caught fire after its fuel ignited.

Years later, a fire erupted in the cockpit of another B-2 bomber, ultimately grounding the aircraft permanently which makes it total of two B-2 aircrafts being lost due to accidents.

Production ended in 2000 and currently there are 21 B-2s in service.

Interesting facts: maximum speed is 627kts while the ceiling is 50000ft.

On the photos you can see: B-2 Bomber after fire, B-2 in flight and 2008 air cash.

The Asia-Pacific region has been one of the most important drivers of global economic development, with numerous countries there experiencing unprecedented growth. The most prominent of these is certainly China, the world’s largest and most important economy, a fact that even the infamous CIA admits. However, it wasn’t always like this, unfortunately. There was a period when various Western powers (particularly the ever imperialist United Kingdom) were ravaging and plundering the many millennia-old civilizations in the Asia-Pacific region, brutally exploiting these countries and their populations. And no, these weren’t some obscure events from the distant past, but relatively recent developments, culminating with the US aggression on Vietnam, when Washington DC used a fabricated event as a pretext to attack yet another sovereign nation.

The resulting bloodbath can only be described as an unadulterated genocide, as the US military committed an intentional, cold-blooded murder of approximately five million people (although the number could be far higher). It should be noted that nobody in America was ever convicted for these gruesome atrocities in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Luckily, Washington DC was soundly defeated by Hanoi and forced to turn its tail and run. With the US gone, peace was established and it lasted until around a decade ago. However, America then started shifting focus to the Asia-Pacific once again, resulting in rising tensions that threaten to push the region into yet another disaster. In the last several years, the Pentagon has been setting up bases and deploying previously banned medium and intermediate-range missiles, targeting China and North Korea.

However, this isn’t enough for the warmongers and war criminals in Washington DC and they’re now sending the US Navy (USN) to begin the first permanent forward deployment of Virginia-class SSGNs (nuclear-powered guided missile submarines). According to military sources, USS “Minnesota” is to be based on Guam, where it’s “expected to facilitate more effective projection of American naval power into the Western Pacific”. The US-occupied island plays a major role in Washington DC’s aggression in the Asia-Pacific, as it’s also home to the Andersen Air Force Base, where there’s a constant rotation of fighter jets and nuclear-capable strategic bombers such as the B-52 “Stratofortress” and B-1B “Lancer”. The USN also operates another four Los Angeles-class attack submarines (SSNs) on Guam, namely the USS “Annapolis”, USS  “Asheville”, USS “Jefferson City” and USS “Springfield”.
