Adjustable exhaust nozzle with partly expanded diffusers - a variable area nozzle is required in a jet engine for optimal expansion and adjusting back pressure in the engine when the afterburner is operated, it avoids compressor surge problems due to the increased back pressure on the engine when the afterburner is lit - engines capable of supersonic flight have convergent-divergent exhaust duct features to generate supersonic flow - GE F110 afterburning turbofan jet engine on F-16 fighters - empennage close-up of exhaust and elevator.

Beja Airport, Portugal: sonar buoys chutes - sonobuoys are used in anti-submarine warfare and submarine rescue - there are two main types, active buoys send out sonar pulses, which reflect off of the submarine, and the return is datal inked back to the aircraft, passive buoys listen for any radiated noise from the submarine contact -  hydrophone sensors and stabilizing equipment are below the water surface, the buoy relays acoustic information from its hydrophone via UHF/VHF radio to operators on board the aircraft - Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft, a military derivative of the Lockheed L-188 Electra.

Welcome home from Iraq
An old cargo transport aircraft, the moss, staining, and streaks of dirt down its hull made some very interesting patterns. \n\nThe aircraft obviously had some military usage in its history, whether it carried troops, supplies, vehicles, or a combination of everything I don't know. The proboscis on the nose of the aircraft is for refuelling midflight, so it could fly extreme distances so long as tanker aircraft were available to refuel from.\n\nIt is a monolithic piece of engineering, and only standing on the floor under its wingspan do you get a real impression of how big these cargo planes now are, they're a feat of design and engineering, even when obsolete and left abandoned outdoors.
