May 15, 2024 - Nebraska, United States: A U.S. Air Force E-4B assigned to the 595th Command & Control Group, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., prepares to receive fuel from a KC-135R Stratotanker from the 126th Air Refueling Squadron, Wisconsin Air National Guard, May, 15, 2024. The E-4B is divided into six functional areas: a national command authority work area, conference room, briefing room, an operations team (battle staff) work area, communications area and a rest area, including seating for up to 111 crew members. The E-4B “Nightwatch” plane nicknamed Donald Trump's nuclear-hardened "Doomsday Plane" landed at Joint Base Andrews under the cover of darkness on June 16, 2025 - hours after Trump's crisis meeting in the White House Situation Room. Its movement has sparked fears that it could be a clear indication of Trump and the US joining the war against Iran. (Codie Trimble / USAF / Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) -

Four-year-old Jumbo loves nothing better than a daily dip in the ocean on Mai Khao beach in Phuket, Thailand. Like any excited child, the youngster happily frolics in the surf surrounded by admiring holidaymakers. While you may not think it, despite their bulk elephants are actually excellent swimmers - as this little tyke is happy to demonstrate time and time again.

Jumbo the 4 Year Old Baby Elephant Swims in the Ocean on Mai Khao Beach in Phuket, Thailand - 09 Nov 2011
This elephant packs its trunks and heads down to the beach every day for an unsual past time - swimming. Four-year-old Jumbo loves nothing better than a daily dip in the ocean on Mai Khao beach in Phuket, Thailand. Like any excited child, the youngster happily frolics in the surf surrounded by admiring holidaymakers.

Architect builds house using parts from a Boeing 747 jumbo jet, California, America - 28 Jul 2011

A Plane House
An architect is flying high after building a new house - out of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet.
David Hertz bought the plane for its scrap value of GBP 21,600 and dismantled it to recycle the parts.
He turned the wings into a roof, part of the fuselage and windows into a room divider and the front engine cover into a fountain pool in the garden.
Meanwhile, a meditation pavilion at the 55-acre home in California is made from the nose cone and cockpit.
Other small outbuildings - such as a barn and caretaker's house - use the remaining fuselage and upper shell of the first class mezzanine.
David is now "happy with the project in its entirety."
The only part of the plane that has not been used is the mid-section where the landing gear is stored.
The property is owned by an elderly woman who owns Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the state.
David, of David Hertz Architects and Studio of Environmental Architecture, had to buy the whole plane so decided to make use of all its parts.
He said: "I first thought about using an airplane wing while I was stood on the project site and imagined a floating curved roof.
"I drew a sketch that showed an elliptical roof section, which reminded me of a flow diagram of an airplane wing.
"At first, I thought about trying to construct a wing shaped roof, and then it occurred to me - 'Why not just use a wing?'
"The client suggested we visit an airplane to see what it might look like because we rarely get up close to airplanes.
"Once she saw the curves of the craft up close she became increasingly enthusiastic about the concept.
"The initial idea was to use the wings of the 747 for the roofs.
"But we had to purchase the entire 747 and would have been left with just the fuselage section left, so decided to digest the entir...

Planes landing at Princess Juliana International Airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, France - Jan 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Fabi Fliervoet/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1091424d )
The downdraft almost blows spectators off their feet, as the giant airliners pass low overhead, HEADS UP!
Tourists are flocking to a beach directly under the flight path of jumbo jets to feel the impressive force of their jet stream as they pass just 20 metres over head. The Boeing 747s blow sand into the faces of avid plane spotters who gather at cafes near Princess Juliana International Airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin. They sit waiting for the planes to approach before dashing to the road and beach to feel the 300-tonne aircrafts blast past at about 150 miles per hour. Many tourists duck as they realise just how close the deafening planes are passing above them. Planes are forced to pass just 20 metres above the beach as they come into land on the shortest runway in the world that 747s regularly use
Planes landing at Princess Juliana International Airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, France - Jan 2010
PLANE STUPID!
Tourists are flocking to a beach directly under the flight path of jumbos to feel the impressive force of their jet stream as they pass just 20 yards overhead.
The Boeing 747s fly so low they blow sand into the faces of avid plane spotters who gather at cafes and sit waiting for the planes.
When an aircraft approaches they dash to the beach to feel the 300-ton aircraft blast past at over 150 miles per hour.
Many tourists duck as they realise just how close the deafening planes are passing above them.
Planes - like the KLM jet pictured - are forced to pass just 20 yards above the beach as they come into land on the shortest runway in the world that 747s regularly use.
