“I wanted to convert the plane into an RV (Recreational Vehicle) since I was 12 years old, after watching a TV show. Until I served in the Air Force, I always thought one day. will make it happen.” It took Gino about a year to build his dream mobile home by himself. Almost every day, he slept very little because he was excited, thinking about what to do the next day. Gino manually converted the plane into a mobile home. Parts from old aircraft are used by Gino and fitted into the car such as light switches, intercoms to decorative details. The engine part was taken from an old truck. In addition to the main parts, the bathroom area, the kitchen with a microwave oven is also fully installed by Gino and tries to keep the space and layout of the plane. He also turned what used to be the cabin crew area into his youngest son’s aviation-themed bedroom. Despite its unique shape, Gino’s 27-square-foot RV is still roadworthy and legally licensed in all 50 states. The RV is fully equipped and meets the traveling conditions. Since completing renovations in the summer of 2020, Gino has taken his family on many trips across the United States. When traveling on empty and wide roads, he feels like he is actually flying an airplane. “Children are often surprised and curious about the shape of the car, many veterans are also interested and start a conversation with me. It’s very happy to see that people like my work.”

Useppa Island, a secret place On the small island of Useppa, I was sleeping with the CIA, at least the decor in my bedroom had that nuance. I grabbed the big bedroom at the Collier Inn, an recreational fishing mansion set in a mangrove forest on the Florida Bay coast that was once involved in the dark conspiracy of the Cold War. One of the unprecedented twists in the history of American tourism reveals that CIA agents took over the Collier Inn from a former millionaire in the spring of 1960, then Useppa Island (a resort). normal cool) has been converted into a secret training camp used for the invasion of Cuba during leader Fidel Castro, a shocking event known as the Bay of Pigs. The assault on the southern coast of Cuba on April 17, 1961 was an utopian attempt to bring down the leftist revolutionary (Fidel), but it has become a scorn for the United States. After three days of fighting, the 1,200 CIA-trained force failed under the Fidel Castro administration. That failure was hard to imagine when the CIA first chose Useppa. At that time, the small island lived in a precious calm atmosphere. Across the horizon, the cool green islands of mangrove trees glow in the sunset. It is that serenity that has fostered sinister intrigue against the small island. President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy welcomed veterans (lost) at the Orange Bowl (Miami, Florida) in December 1962. Photo source: Flip Schulke / Getty Images. When I read about the Cold War period in Useppa the details were so gale, I figured the only way to solve the problem was to get there myself. Clearly Useppa has not lost its classic ambience, cars are banned from use on the island, and only a few people (mostly elderly and have tanned skin), residents only have can use electric cars (for golfers), friendly space. On the path lined with roses, running through the island is flanked by coconut trees and many banana bushes. “This is the beginning of it all,” said Ms. Rona Stage, museum director at Useppa. The entire Useppa island is only 1 mile long, less than 3 miles wide, and the CIA’s secret base is only 274.3 square meters wide. The first highlight is the 4 small bungalows where the 66 recruits used to live, they are Cuban descent and in their 20s, some of them are in their teens. Houses are built from pine cores to prevent decay. At the Collier Inn, where CIA agents used to be a hideout, I spent the night here in the very renovated dining room into the hall for the recruits. The store located near the building’s swimming pool was a place where spies and doctors previously conducted a series of tests for participants in training, including how to combat lie detectors, and Rorschach ink-based tests to determine their solid political stability, intelligence assessments, and comprehensive fitness tests. In the museum in Useppa there are historical artifacts such as costume uniforms, and dramatic photographs of the war. There is a photo of CIA-trained soldiers on the island of markers showing those killed, executed, killed during training or taken prisoner in Havana. The museum also teases Useppa’s thrilling storyline, which turns out to be the CIA’s pick and intent to vanish it on the map. In April 1961, survivors of the 2506 Attack Brigade were taken prisoner during the Bay of Pigs incident. Photo source: Miguel Vinas / AFP via Getty Images. Plan to set up a CIA training camp Since the 1870s, the small island of Useppa has been a fisherman’s paradise, and its heyday began in 1911 when a Florida millionaire named Barron Collier spent $ 100,000 to buy the island. a place for him and his friends to relax, partying away from prying eyes. In the early 20th century, millionaire Collier built houses, golf courses, palaces and a luxury hotel. The romantic millionaire secretly set up a lot of “second rooms” in the hotel, and his wife and his children slept in houses scattered on the island … Millionaire Barron Collier died in 1939. , and Useppa fell into disrepair. During World War II, the large hotel on the island was smashed by storms and eventually burned to the ground, but the Collier family maintained the plantation-style mansion and today it bears the name. Collier Inn. In 1960, the tropical island became the ideal base for the CIA to carry out an ambitious plan to overthrow the Government of Fidel Castro, which President Eisenhower commissioned and his successor John F. Kennedy would. cannot ignore. In May 1960, a Miami businessman named Manuel Goudie y de Monteverde leased the entire island to the CIA, and the agency quickly recruited recruits for the so-called Brigade 2506. Combining documents By reference I looked up in the stories of Mrs. Rona Stage, I chained the events together to get the most general background of the event. Accordingly, the young Cuban youth who were recruited from the Cuban anti-Fidel community in Miami – the name was never touched by the CIA – they were summoned at night to form small groups from 8 to 10 people gathered in the parking lot of White Castle. Without knowing their destination in advance, the people were transported in a van with black doors that flared for three hours across the Everglades swamp to a fishing camp, and then they gathered. Piled up a speedboat. There were three armed Americans who took the youth to a ship port on the dark island and showed them shelter. During the next two months in this unobtrusive training camp, CIA agents diligently performed tests, and trained recruits in coding, radio operations, outdoor survival skills, and demolition technique. The recruits receive mainly weapons from World War 2 and Thompson machine guns to practice guerrilla warfare in the mangrove forest near the golf course. CIA agents are certain that the guns were donated by a wealthy Cuban philanthropist and are certainly not supplied by the US government. The recruits themselves say they are working for a “New CIA”, or “Cuban Invasion Committee”. Even at Useppa, secrets are still revealed. In the entire history of the Useppa Museum, the most interesting thing to me is the correspondence between veterans – who reunited here – and most of them live in Miami. The facade of the Collier Inn mansion, which in 1960 was taken over by the CIA, turned it into a secret training camp for the plan to invade Cuba. Photo source: TripAdvisor. The narrative of veterans I went to a place called “Latin America Capital” to hear witnesses tell about what happened. I stopped at the 2506 Brigade Library (in operation since the 1980s in a house on 9th Street in Little Havana, Miami); Take a taxi to the Hialeah Gardens Museum, which honors Brigade 2506, to see with your own eyes the B-26 bomber is parked on the ground. In Useppa, veterans relive the Bay of Pigs incident in the most authentic way. The ambitious attack had begun before dawn on April 17, 1961 and malfunctioned shortly thereafter, when the lander hit the coral and 13,000 US soldiers waded through the waves to land. Cuban coast. The CIA’s grand scheme turned out to have been terribly wrong. The Americans hope that after the “Liberation Army” takes a foothold, an interim government will be launched, and the Cuban people will rise up against Fidel Castro. But the Cuban people strongly supported the Fidel leader, and thus the US-backed invasion failed. Fearing the Soviet military response, President Kennedy refused to use aircraft or destroyers to attack Cuba. Kennedy limited his air strikes on the first day of the start of the war and on the third day all airstrikes were canceled. The tiny Cuban force counterattacked and harassed landing aircraft and CIA-trained forces on the beaches that the Fidel government had deployed; US aid operations have not materialized. Finally, on April 20, 1961, about 1,200 American survivors threw their weapons; the rest were soon trapped in the Zapata swamps. “The surviving legionnaires” (as Cubans call it) was put on trial in Havana and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Returning to the Hialeah Museum, I ran into veteran Vicente Blanco-Capote, at the age of 17, he was secretly transferred by the CIA to Useppa Island with eight other boys. Mr. Blanco-Capote recalls: “I don’t know where I am, there is a tall, blond American guy that we met on the dock.” There are three CIA employers that are known only by simple names like “Bob”, “Nick” and “Bill”. As for the 82-year-old Cuban veteran, Mirto Collazo, suspects that your move to Miami is a trap. When the rookies settled down, they realized that Useppa was not “Devil’s Island” as it was being stigmatized. Mr. Blanco-Capote exclaimed: “An island full of millionaires. Although there is no air conditioner in the house, they also have enough hot and cold water ”. The days passed in a place like a summer camp. On July 4, 1960, and the CIA transported 66 Cubans to two training camps located in mosquito-infested forests in Panama and a mountain range in rural Guatemala. Places with bad food, shabby and dilapidated housing, a miserable practice regime. After the training, they were assembled to 1,500 people and took the name Brigade 2506. History has correctly memorized the Bay of Pigs event as a bitter defeat.

Pilot Wang Zunxi (a fairly well-known PLAAF officer) in an interview with China Central Television (CCTV 7) gave a very remarkable point of view. According to the veteran pilot, the multi-purpose fighter J-16 manufactured in Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and is being massively employed for PLAAF combat units of generation 4 ++. “J-16 fighter jets (including the J-16D electronic warfare version) have surpassed Russia’s Su-30 series heavy multi-role fighters in almost all tactical specifications. “. “The superiority shown in both avionics and electrodynamic properties, the radar reflection area reduction coefficient (RCS), the J-16 retains only the aerodynamic layout of the airframe”, pilot Vuong said clearly. Faced with the above situation, the Russian press stated that in order to seek export contracts or bring high morale and psychological state to the soldiers, the weapons manufacturers used very sophisticated promotional tools and are not always objective. Russian military experts rebuttal when emphasizing that the Chinese pilot is comparing the technical specifications of the electronic equipment on the Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2 fighters that are somewhat out of date. These fighters were supplied to the PLAAF 20 years ago, and they are actually significantly inferior to the J-16 when facing exercises (both for surface attack and long-range interception missions). ). The reason is that China’s Su-30 integrates the N001VE passive phase array radar (PESA), which ensures the realization of “truncated” synthetic aperture and “truncation” (SAR) mode with low resolution. , only allows the detection and classification of targets with large RCS parameters. In addition, the capacity and anti-interference ability of the N001VE radar is quite low, it can only catch the 1m2 RCS aerial target, 75 – 80 km away in case the enemy does not use electronic countermeasures. In fact, the J-16’s high energy and anti-interference active phase array (AESA) radar has a target capture range with 1 m2 RCS from 130 to 150 km, and high anti-interference ability, range is only slightly reduced in a highly noisy environment. This is due to the presence in the electronic architecture of the advanced AESA radar, which consists of more than 1,500 transceiver modules, each equipped with an individual arsenide / gallium nitride microwave transistor. Moreover, this type of radar is also capable of operating in synthetic aperture (SAR), reverse synthesized aperture (ISAR) and tracking ground targets moving in real time. Although the equipment for the J-16 is very advanced, the Russian side thinks that it is necessary to compare the J-16 with more modern modifications, for example the Su-30SM2 variant is about to enter service. Although the N035 Irbis radar that will equip the Su-30SM2 of the PESA class may be significantly inferior to the J-16’s AESA radar in terms of interference resistance, the capacity is higher (providing target acquisition range. with 1 m2 RCS at a distance of 250 – 270 km). With the N035 Irbis radar, the Su-30SM2 will have the ability to “foresee and shoot before” the J-16 in a direct confrontation situation, especially when Russia is still completing the long-range air-to-air missile “product. 180 ”. But it must be noted that the Su-30SM2 is still on paper, while the J-16 has been on duty for many years and there is no guarantee that the Russian fighter really possesses outstanding features. as they still publish.

The San Siro team has just renewed the contract with Swedish super striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for another year after the 39-year-old “senior” scored 28 goals in 45 AC Milan caps in all competitions since the 2019 season.

It’s great to be with my teammates and working with everyone here” – Ibrahimovic shared. The 39-year-old striker did not attend AC Milan’s last two games due to a penalty card and injury. Expected, he will return in the match against Lazio in the 33rd round of Serie A on April 27. Zlatan’s team are fiercely competing for their place in the top 4 of Serie A at the end of the season. AC Milan temporarily ranked second with 66 points after 32 matches and only 1 point higher than Atalanta and Juventus.

To leave Dortmund, Erling Haaland needs to reduce the transfer requirements

Although Dortmund clearly will not sell Haaland this summer, Mino Raiola attached “it does not mean I agree”.

Source Goal said, Erling Haaland wants to pay 35 million Euro / season. This means that the majority of teams who are interested, want to own the Norwegian striker.

Because only the salary paid to Haaland in the 5-year contract, for example, has cost 175 million euros for any team that wants him.

That is not to mention the overwhelming commission fee that Mino Raiola and Haaland’s father require – announced up to 20 million Euro / person.

Dortmund will not consider any offer of less than 150 million euros for a player who only costs 20 million euros to buy from Salzburg in January 2020.

Sheet Mundo It is estimated that, if including bonuses and surcharges plus the above numbers, the team that wants to own Erling Haaland will have to spend up to 500 million euros, a figure in heaven even before translation. Covid-19 happened, let alone the current situation.

If Haaland really wants to leave Dortmund to develop his career to a new level, it will definitely have to lower the requirements for a transfer to happen, when Real Madrid, Barca, Man City, MU, Chelsea are all interested. want to sign.
