JET FIGHTER

F-18


F-18 HORNET is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole fighter jet , designed to dog fighter and attack ground targets (F/A for fighter/attack). Designed by Mcdonnell Douglas and Northop , Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations .it has been the aerial demonstration aircraft for the U.S Navy`s Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, since 1986




The F/A-18 has a top speed of Mach 1.8. It can carry a wide variety of bombs and missiles, including air-to-air and air-to-ground, supplemented by the 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon. It is powered by two General Electric F404 turbofan engines, which give the aircraft a high thrust-to-weight ratio. The F/A-18 has excellent aerodynamic characteristics, primarily attributed to its leading edge extensions (LEX). The fighter's primary missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), air interdiction, close air support and aerial reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries, such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in the fighter and strike fighter role, and the Grumman A-6 Intruder and LTV A-7 Corsair II in the attack role.



The F/A-18 Hornet provided the baseline design for the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, a larger, evolutionary redesign of the F/A-18. Compared to the Hornet, the Super Hornet is larger, heavier and has improved range and payload. The F/A-18E/F was originally proposed as an alternative to an all-new aircraft to replace existing dedicated attack aircraft such as the A-6. The larger variant was also directed to replace the aging F-14 Tomcat, thus serving a complementary role with Hornets in the U.S. Navy, and serving a wider range of roles including refueling tanker. TheBoeing EA-18G Growler electronic jamming platform was also developed from the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

ONE PIECE CHARACTER 





   

One piece is about an adventures of one team of pirates to chase their dream. They all have something to chase , and they try to be the best of pirates and try to be a pirates king.

The Story
Moments before his execution, the legendary pirate Gold Roger revealed that his greatest treasure, One Piece, was hidden somewhere on the deadly sea route known as the Grand Line. Thus began the Great Age of Piracy, with countless pirates competing to rule the seas and, ultimately, find Gold Roger’s treasure. Monkey D. Luffy is one such pirate. As a boy, he accidentally ate the magical Gum-Gum Fruit, which gave him the power to stretch like rubber — but made it impossible for him to swim. Years later, Luffy sets out in a leaky rowboat, hoping to use his rubber powers and endless optimism to become King of the Pirates.

THE BEST ISLAND IN SABAH


SIPADAN ISLAND

For a scuba diver, Sipadan is as close as it gets to Mecca.  This tiny coral atoll off the coast of Malaysian Borneo is pure scuba diving heaven. 
Sipadan lies 36 kilometers off the coast, and to get there you must first go to the small town of Semporna, which is where most of the boats leave from to take you out to Sipadan. Many divers base themselves in Semporna itself and travel to and from each day by boat. Or you can opt to stay on one of the many islands that surround Sipadan – a much more relaxing option. 
But don’t think you can just rock up and dive in Sipadan.  Access to the island is strictly controlled, and only a certain number of dive permits are given per day.  Just 120 permits are available each day, and demand is huge from the many dive resorts in the vicinity. Your hotel or dive set-up will arrange the permits for you – and remember: you can no longer spend the night on Sipadan.  Be prepared to not be diving every day during busy holiday periods. The system is fair and organized, however, and the authorities really do try and accommodate everyone.  They know that’s why you’re there. 
The island is just the tip of a huge limestone pinnacle that rises a sheer 600 meters from the sea bed. It is home to a breathtaking variety of corals, tropical fish, and, deeper down, more sensational (and possibly scary) inhabitants of the sea. 
Diving on the near vertical “wall” is an extraordinarily dizzying experience. As you dive, you look down below you and there is nothing. Literally nothing but an increasingly dark blue nothingness below you. 
The reef is home to a dazzling array of corals, which are home in turn to an equally dazzling range of tropical fish. You regularly see schools of barracuda and tuna, many reef sharks, including hammerhead sharks, but the most special sightings of all are of the turtles. 
The turtles swim lazily by, amazingly close, and certainly not frightened of humans. The temptation to reach out and touch these beautiful, endangered creatures is strong – but the dive masters keep a watchful eye on you.  To swim alongside such a magnificent creature is truly a privilege. 
Pulau Sipadan (Pulau means island in Bahasa Malay) is possibly the best known island in Borneo. It is also, sadly, one of the most infamous islands, as well. 
The handful of pretty coral islands, of which Sipadan is the undoubted jewel in the crown, lie virtually on the maritime border between Malaysia and the Philippines, and have been the subject of disputes over the years. Nearby Indonesia also claimed sovereignty over the island, and all of this tension came to a head with the high-profile kidnapping of tourists back in 2000. 
The resultant fall-out has been increased policing of the islands and Sipadan is now safer and more protected than ever before. This visible policing has had the add-on benefit of discouraging maritime poaching, over-fishing, and most importantly the illegal hunting of the endangered sea turtles and their eggs. It is now one of the safest and most protected places to dive, for both humans and wildlife.
