F-4N Phantom II

 

This is a McDonnell Douglas F-4N Phantom II on the flight deck of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.

The USS Intrepid served in the Pacific theater during WWII, as a recovery ship for the Mercury and Gemini space missions, and in the Vietnam War, before being retired and converted to a museum ship.

The F-4N was an updated fighter bomber that served the US Navy during the 1970s and 1980s. It was replaced by the Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

While walking into the center of town to visit the local museum my younger daughter and I came across this very nice Jaguar parked in the middle of the town square. Unfortunately it was not parked in a way that would allow me to get the town fountain and the museum in the background. Later, when we got out of the museum, the car was gone.

University Housing

 

Based on Google translate, this building is apparently student housing for a fraternity associated with the university in Heidelberg. It is right next to Heidleberg Castle, where I was standing when I took this photo. I guess I went to the wrong university.

Schloss Schramberg Ruins

 

These are the ruins of the castle on the hill above the town of Schramberg, Germany. My wife’s maternal Grandfather was from Schramberg, and we have a photo of him from almost 100 years ago sitting on the edge of the ruins with the town down below in the background.
