In the early 1970’s the United States Air Force (USAF) approached Lockheed with a stealth concept for a first strike aircraft. The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk was proposed by Skunk Works Director Kelly Johnson and his assistant Ben Rich. It is this revolutionary design that gives the F-117 a radar cross-section of about 0.001 m2 (0.0108 sq ft), which is about the size of a small bird on a radar screen. Because of these design considerations and no afterburner, the F-117 Nighthawk is limited to subsonic speeds. This is due to lower engine thrust and losses in the inlet and outlet, a very low wing aspect ratio and a high sweep wing angle of 50° degrees as mentioned earlier. The F-117 Stealth Fighter is a ground attack aircraft that is NOT very maneuverable because of a high sweep wing angle of 50° degrees needed to deflect incoming radar waves.Īnother disadvantage to stealth technology is the F-117’s speed and performance. Stealth technology has its advantages and disadvantages such as sacrificing performance for stealth. It is her unique design that made her stealth capabilities possible. The F-117 was specifically designed to be the world’s first invisible plane and defeat any enemy radar system. Although the F-117 is designated “F” for fighter, she is a ground attack aircraft only and NOT a dog fighter. She carried 500-2000 pound laser-guided bombs designed for hardened targets such as underground bunkers and aircraft hangers. Most of the optically aimed AAA and infra-red SAMs were located on the outskirts of the city making it possible for other aircraft to hit targets inside the downtown Baghdad area.į-117 Nighthawk – Wings Over the Gulf: First Strike Part (2/4)ĭuring the Gulf War in 1991, the F-117 logged in approximately 6,905 flight hours scoring direct hits on 1,600 high-value targets while flying 1,300 sorties in Iraq. The F-117 was the only aircraft that the coalition would risk over Baghdad because it was so heavily defended. Later reports were scaled back to a 41–60% success rate which is still pretty impressive. On the first night of the war, it was reported that the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk hit 80% of their designated targets with zero combat losses. With her stealth technology, she was easily able to penetrate enemy airspace undetected and strike her targets with laser like precision. She was the aircraft that fired the first shots of Desert Storm and lead the way into the most heavily defended city in the world at that time, Baghdad. The F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter was made famous for its role during the Persian Gulf War in 1991.

A spokesperson with the regional FAA office says air traffic controllers sent out a bulletin that the plane was missing about 3:55 Tuesday afternoon. The search resumed at sunrise Wednesday morning. The Sabine County Sheriff's Office spent most of Tuesday evening sorting through the wreckage of the plane that crashed in the Toledo Bend Reservoir, finally calling off the search due to darkness and thunderstorms in the area. A dispatcher with the Sabine County Sheriff's Office says the plane went down close to the Indian Mounds Recreation Area. The plane then broke through the clouds and hit the lake nose first. A Texas Department of Public Safety operator said witnesses a plane sputtering, but it was obscured by clouds. The companies chief operating officer, Michael Torres, told KSLA News 12 that McIntire, who was piloting the plane, was the chief financial officer for the company and McFadden was the companies principal owner but was not involved in the day to day oeprations. The three are business partners working for Crescent Directional Drilling out of Houston. Fifty-four-year-old Daniel McIntire of Humble, Texas, George McFadden of New York and 34-year-old Heather Hardin of Pecan Island Louisiana all died in the crash. The remains have been taken to Starr Funeral Home in Hemphill. Texas Department of Public Safety officials say search teams have discovered human body parts among the wreckage of a fixed wing single engine 2006 CIRRUS SR22 that crashed Tuesday afternoon in East Texas.

As the song progresses, Jeff tries to attack Boyfriend in various ways, and Boyfriend begins to have visions of Jeff before he turns into a murderer. Fearing that the cut was deep, Girlfriend in tears activates her powers and tries to make Jeff scared or even trying to kill him, but Boyfriend stops her with his hand and insists on continuing even stabbed. Jeff quickly steps forward, and stabs Boyfriend diagonally in the chest. Boyfriend backs off a bit, and Girlfriend decides to pay more attention to what's going on. Now without his hidden face, he once again fiercely battles Boyfriend twice.Īfter losing three times, Jeff freaks out, and thinks Boyfriend is yet another victim. Soon, it is realized that this Jeff is actually the infamous assassin Jeff the Killer. Jeff, apparently tired from the battle, removes his mask that was making it difficult for him to breathe. Boyfriend asks who Jeff, the suspicious masked man is, and she just responds with him being "an old friend. Girlfriend is proud of him for beating Jeff. The couple is scared, and Boyfriend goes ahead to protect his beloved, in a rap battle.īoyfriend wins the battle and happily claims his victory. Girlfriend (as the narrator says) insists that she has a surprise, and just as she says so, they come across a masked man. Boyfriend is getting a little suspicious of that empty place, with only the natural sounds from there. He accepts and they both go to the park at the agreed time. Not in the park, but the forest itself.īoyfriend is called by Girlfriend to go to a park at night as she has a "surprise" for him. It is unknown which part of the story/timeline this happens, but it can be said that it happens before Jeff's week for a reason: Boyfriend in the art is extremely nervous, while in Jeff's cutscene he looks like he's already been there. He sweats a lot, but decides to go because of her, but he soon regrets it as she starts recording the two of them in the forest with her cell phone, even though Boyfriend is annoyed, but he insists on staying there. As seen in a secret on-screen art of passwords, Girlfriend takes Boyfriend to a dark forest far away from the city. Trepidation probably takes place a few years after Friday Night Funkin', that's because Boyfriend and (mainly because of her body) Girlfriend in this mod seem more adult or mature. Incredibly, he did his job extremely well, singing lullabies and having an extreme ease in putting her to sleep, making him someone who had spent a lot of time with Girlfriend, and becoming a new guardian or family figure for her. In October 2010, Daddy Dearest called in another killer to take care of his daughter, this time one named Jeff. Mommy Mearest left her husband in charge of finding someone to take care of Girlfriend, but things didn't work out, and Daddy Dearest always ended up "banning" them somewhere, possibly to hell. Also, Girlfriend would start using her powers, but as a child, she had no control over them and ended up destroying things or causing trouble. Between 2009 and/or 2010, long before Boyfriend met Girlfriend, with them still kids, her parents still maintained their rock star careers, making them not always have time to watch over their precious daughter.

It tarnishes on contact with moist air and takes on a dull appearance, the hue of which depends on the prevailing conditions. Pure lead has a bright, silvery appearance with a hint of blue. Lead consequently has a face-centered cubic structure like the similarly sized divalent metals calcium and strontium. Rather than having a diamond cubic structure, lead forms metallic bonds in which only the p-electrons are delocalized and shared between the Pb 2+ ions. In lead, the inert pair effect increases the separation between its s- and p-orbitals, and the gap cannot be overcome by the energy that would be released by extra bonds following hybridization. The energy levels of their outer s- and p-orbitals are close enough to allow mixing into four hybrid sp 3 orbitals. Lead's lighter carbon group congeners form stable or metastable allotropes with the tetrahedrally coordinated and covalently bonded diamond cubic structure. One such effect is the inert pair effect: the 6s electrons of lead become reluctant to participate in bonding, making the distance between nearest atoms in crystalline lead unusually long. Relativistic effects, which become significant in heavier atoms, contribute to this behavior. The sum of the first four ionization energies of lead exceeds that of tin, contrary to what periodic trends would predict. This is due to poor shielding of the nucleus by the lanthanide 4f electrons. The similarity of ionization energies is caused by the lanthanide contraction-the decrease in element radii from lanthanum (atomic number 57) to lutetium (71), and the relatively small radii of the elements from hafnium (72) onwards. This is unusual ionization energies generally fall going down a group, as an element's outer electrons become more distant from the nucleus, and more shielded by smaller orbitals. The sum of lead's first and second ionization energies-the total energy required to remove the two 6p electrons-is close to that of tin, lead's upper neighbor in the carbon group. Physical properties Atomic Ī lead atom has 82 electrons, arranged in an electron configuration of 4f 145d 106s 26p 2. Lead is a neurotoxin that accumulates in soft tissues and bones it damages the nervous system and interferes with the function of biological enzymes, causing neurological disorders ranging from behavioral problems to brain damage, and also affects general health, cardiovascular, and renal systems. Lead's toxicity became widely recognized in the late 19th century, although a number of well-educated ancient Greek and Roman writers were aware of this fact and even knew some of the symptoms of lead poisoning. These properties, combined with its relative abundance and low cost, resulted in its extensive use in construction, plumbing, batteries, bullets and shot, weights, solders, pewters, fusible alloys, white paints, leaded gasoline, and radiation shielding. Lead's high density, low melting point, ductility and relative inertness to oxidation make it useful. In 2014, the annual global production of lead was about ten million tonnes, over half of which was from recycling. Lead playedĪ crucial role in the development of the printing press, as movable type could be relatively easily cast from lead alloys. Lead production declined after the fall of Rome and did not reach comparable levels until the Industrial Revolution. Interest in silver helped initiate widespread extraction and use of lead in ancient Rome. Galena is a principal ore of lead which often bears silver. Since lead is easily extracted from its ores, prehistoric people in the Near East were aware of it. Like the lighter members of the group, lead tends to bond with itself it can form chains and polyhedral structures. Exceptions are mostly limited to organolead compounds. Compounds of lead are usually found in the +2 oxidation state rather than the +4 state common with lighter members of the carbon group. Its weak metallic character is illustrated by its amphoteric nature lead and lead oxides react with acids and bases, and it tends to form covalent bonds. Lead is a relatively unreactive post-transition metal. Lead is toxic, even in small amounts, especially to children. Lead has the highest atomic number of any stable element and three of its isotopes are endpoints of major nuclear decay chains of heavier elements. It tarnishes to a dull gray color when exposed to air. When freshly cut, lead is a shiny gray with a hint of blue. Lead is soft and malleable, and also has a relatively low melting point. It is a heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. Lead is a chemical element with the symbol Pb (from the Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82. Pansies like full or partial sun, but need cooler temperatures to thrive.See our articles on soil amendments and preparing soil for planting for more information. Plant in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil.Pansies can tolerate a light frost just after planting, but try to hold off on putting them in the ground if temperatures are still regularly reaching well below freezing.They grow best when soil temperatures are between 45☏ and 65☏ (7☌ and 18☌). Set pansy plants in the ground when it becomes workable in the spring.Pansy seeds may be slow to germinate (typically emerging in anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on soil temperature). Or, start seeds in late summer for fall and winter flowering. But if you want to start from seed, start pansy seeds indoors in late winter 8 to 10 weeks before the last spring frost for early spring and summer flowering.Pansies can be finicky to start from seed it’s a lot easier to buy established plants from a local nursery.Pansies can be planted in the early spring or in the fall.If the blooms wither in the cold, the plants will often stay alive to bloom again, which makes them a great flowering plant for fall and early winter color. They’ll survive a frost, bouncing back from even single digit temperatures. Pansies are surprisingly hearty in cold weather, though. There hasn’t been much success in producing heat-tolerant pansies that can adequately survive hot weather. They tend to gets too leggy in the heat of summer. Most gardeners treat pansies (and all violas) as an annual, but they’re actually hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8. Pansies look pretty on their own in a monochrome scheme or in mixed colors they also look pretty when planted with other cool-season flowers such as primroses, trailing lobelia, and sweet alyssum. Good for containers, borders, and as ground cover, they are a go-to flower for reliable color almost year-round in some places. Pansies are a type of Viola ( Viola × wittrockiana) with large heart-shaped, overlapping petals and one of the widest ranges of bright, pretty colors and patterns. Here’s how to plant pansies as well as keep them growing and blooming. They’re also edible, adding color to salads, drinks, and cakes.
