NASA Armstrong's F-15D Eagle #897 flies as a chase vehicle for NASA's DC-8 flying laboratory on the Olympic Mountain Experiment (OLYMPEX) science mission. The OLYMPEX team of NASA and university scientists are taking to the field from Nov. 10 to Dec. 21, studying wet winter weather near Seattle, Washington to verify rain and snowfall observations made by the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission.

NASA currently flies an F-15D Eagle aircraft for research support and pilot proficiency. Research support aircraft are commonly called chase planes and fill the role of escort aircraft during research missions. Chase pilots are in constant radio contact with research pilots and serve as an "extra set of eyes" to help maintain total flight safety during specific tests and maneuvers. They monitor certain events for the research pilot and are an important safety feature on all research missions. Chase aircraft also are used as camera platforms for research missions that must be photographed or videotaped. Aeronautical engineers use these photos and video extensively to monitor and verify various aspects of research projects. The F-15D is also used by research pilots for routine flight training required by all NASA pilots.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great Frank Sinatra (born December 12, 1915 in Hoboken, NJ). Pictured here is an outtake from the April 23, 1965 cover of LIFE magazine. (John Dominis—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #LIFElegends #FrankSinatra

There’s nothing quite like seeing the #auroraborealis. Bands of color waving and streaking across the sky is one of nature’s most amazing shows. It’s best seen on a dark, clear winter night in #Alaska. This terrific image was captured at #Denali National Park by Daniel A. Leifheit (@danleifheit), #NationalPark Service.

What happens when a Superbike engineer builds a cafe racer? Meet the stunning XC1 from David Sánchez of @bottpower.
It’s a radical re-imagining of the Buell XB series, using modern tech like CAD design and finite element analysis.
The twin spar frame is now gone: everything hangs off a steel backbone that uses the engine as a stressed member. (There’s a titanium option too, naturally). Bottpower have also fitted a side-mounted air intake, a set of titanium headers and a Torque Hammer muffler. With a remap of the ECU, the XC1 now pushes 95HP to the back wheel, in a package that weighs 20kg less than stock.

Vegan breakfast idea by @kaycarrera 💜

1 cup coconut yogurt, 3/4 cup cashew milk, dash vanilla powder, 1 tbsp of choice sweetener, juice from 1 small lemon, & 3 tbsp of chia seeds. Mix all ingredients together and let sit for 3+ hrs while chia seeds work their magic. Top with lemon zest, fresh berries, pom seeds, oranges and kiwi. Enjoy! #bestofvegan

Bearing Witness ~ The Refugee Crisis

September 2014 ~ Rain storm approaches Nizip refugee camp, run by the Turkish governmental aid agency, AFAD, located in Nizip, Turkey, 50 or more kilometers north of the border with Syria. Over 30,000 Syrian refugees living in this camp consisting of tents and container. To offer some sense of normalcy, AFAD supplies each tent with a TV, a small kitchen, bedding and communal showers and bathrooms. Most of these refugees have been living in this camp for over two years.

This image is part of a multi-week series, #BearingWitnesstheRefugeeCrisis, delving deep into my archive of more than 20 years documenting forced migration based upon war, conflict, poverty and oppression around the world.

The events we are witnessing throughout Europe and beyond have haunted humanity for centuries, most often caused by the weakness of humanity. Today we are seeing the largest mass migration since World War II, the desperate act of tens of thousands fleeing war and oppression.

Throughout the coming weeks I will be putting a human face on this tragedy, illustrating the reality we bear witness today -- our brothers and sisters in the dire act of survival. No, these are not terrorist. They are mothers, sons. Men, daughters. You and me, all on a journey for hope.

Join me by sharing this story over the coming weeks as we visit eastern Turkey and its border with Syria, Haiti, Cuba, South Sudan, Bangladesh and yes, images soon from Izmir, Turkey, to the beaches of Lesvos, Greece, where I've just returned.

A story that is about all of us.

All my best,

John Stanmeyer
