An F-35 Lightning was loaded onto a C-17 Globemaster for the first time by the US Air Force 96th Logistics Readiness Squadron. This was the first-ever F-35 wing removal and shipment via air transport. The $200,000 four-year project culminated in the transport of the aircraft to Hill AFB, Utah. There it will become the Air Force’s first F-35 aircraft battle damage trainer. The F-35 Lightning is referred to as a 5th Generation fighter, combining advanced stealth capabilities with fighter aircraft speed and agility, fully-fused sensor information, network-enabled operations and advanced logistics and sustainment, say the manufacturers. The C-17 Globemaster III…

AT just 22-years-old, Erling Haaland has the world at his feet. Having banged in the goals for Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund and now Manchester City, the Norwegian is arguably the hottest property in world football. His immense talent has reportedly earned him a cool £375,000-a-week contract at the Etihad. And when he’s not too busy firing City to victories, Haaland can often be seen driving some of the world’s most beautiful cars. From his glorious Rolls Royce, to his penchant for Audis, the Norwegian has already learned a thing or two about glamorous cars. Ahead of Haaland’s huge Champions League clash…

MANCHESTER CITY superstar Erling Haaland jokingly revealed the secret behind his stunning goalscoring success this season. Haaland is the Premier League’s top scorer so far this term with a staggering 30 goals and five assists in 27 appearances. And the striker took to Twitter where he posed with two bottles of what he described as his “magic potion”. But it turns out it’s only a couple of milk bottles, a healthy drink the Norway international appears to have introduced to his diet. Haaland tweeted: “Me and my magic potion.” Fans flooded the comments’ section to join in on all the…

Photographer Giulio Zanni went to Alaska specifically to get shots of bald eagles – but he didn’t count on capturing a truly awesome mid-air display of two fully grown adults fighting for food. With their wings outstretched and their deadly talons poised to grasp and claw, neither of them giving any quarter, the two birds are locked in battle as they tumble through the sky. Mr Zanni’s pictures perfectly capture the creatures in all their magnificence and glory. The fight began after the larger of the two birds had plucked a fish from the water off the coast of Homer,…

Months after having their first baby, an Ohio couple tried for another, but it did not work. The devastated couple suffered two more miscarriages and were on the verge of giving up when they learned they were pregnant with quadruplets. Dayna and Colby Childress live with their five babies, of which four are quadruplets. The loving parents from Springboro, Ohio, had never imagined they would have so many babies. The mother revealed they were only trying for one baby, but fate’s plans surprised them. Their son instantly got four siblings instead of one. Scroll down for video The Loving Couple…

Love was in the air when two distant species of hawks in northern California chose to mate, producing a new hybrid offspring in the process. It took place near the Laguna de Santa Rosa Wetlands Complex in Sonoma County, California, where bird researchers had spent years following the social interactions of a visiting common black hawk and the local population of red-shouldered hawks. Researchers still aren’t sure how or why a common black hawk arrived in the region, as the species is native to South and Central America, and in rare instances have been observed in the American southwest and…

During the 1950s, France developed a ring-wing fighter concept that never saw the light of day. The futuristic aircraft suffers no vortex drag. We’ve fantasized about flying high since the Stone Age. The 1903 Wright Flyer gave wings (and an engine) to that dream and allowed humans to mimic birds. Soon, we were working and reworking early biplane designs, creating modern flying machines that served both commercial and military purposes. With advancements in engineering, history has seen some strange aircraft concepts like ring-wing planes. The ring wing idea gained publicity when the French decided to veer off conventional fighter jet…

Natalie Maree has shared the shock moment a doctor told her she was pregnant with quadruplets. A woman from Australia has opened up about becoming a mum-of-five after struggling with her fertility for years. Natalie Maree, 30, had to have regular hormone injections after being diagnosed with unexplained infertility called ‘anovulation’ several years ago. She and her husband Kahn were then overjoyed when they fell pregnant with daughter Kiki and became parents two years ago. But the pair were even more shocked when Natalie was told she was expecting quadruplets last year, with the mum saying her ‘jaw dropped’. Speaking…

Roar-legal supercars have finally figured out the recipe for beating a Tesla at the dragstrip. It’s so bluntly obvious and dramatically simple that it’s a wonder it hasn’t been discovered earlier. You only need half a million dollars and some performance tuning, and you’re good to go. Oh, and one more minor detail: an obscenely fast car to begin with. That’s what worked for a McLaren 765LT, in any case, so maybe – just maybe – this recipe isn’t valid for all supercars. Still, lessons could be drawn from this experiment: to put more power in horsepower, just feed the…

Destroy. Dominate. Unstoppable. That’s what people say about the Viking warriors who once roamed the waters of Western Europe, and that’s probably also the headlines that the press gave to Erling Haaland’s performance against RB Leipzig last night. After five goals, the Norwegian striker broke a series of records in the European arena. He surpassed Kylian Mbappe to become the youngest player to reach 30 goals in the Champions League, equaling the “small hand” achievement of Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano, breaking Man City’s record of scoring in a season despite the season. The new league is more than 2/3…

A Florida woman can breathe a sigh of relief after giving birth to a whopping 13-pound, 5-ounce baby girl. “It looked they pulled a toddler out of my belly. She’s so big,” Chrissy Corbitt of Keystone Heights told ABC News of her newborn, Carleigh Corbitt. Baby Carleigh was born on May 15 at Orange Park Medical Center. The proud parents, Chrissy and her husband Larry Corbitt, who are already parents to four children, had no idea just how large of a bundle she was. “When the doctor was pulling her out of me I just start hearing them all laughing…

Erling Haaland is expected to reach 1,000 goals after he made 45 goals this season, especially after he broke another record against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Man City beat Bayern 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad Stadium, with former Borussia Dortmund striker Haaland scoring one goal and one assist. Rodri put Pep Guardiola’s side 1-0 up thanks to a stunning strike before Haaland selflessly set up Bernardo Silva and sealed the win with a right-footed volley in the second half. It was Haaland’s 45th goal of his debut season with Man…

Erling Haaland has been a goal machine at Manchester City since his arrival last summer and is having huge success off it. The superstar striker, who’s breaking football records left, right and centre, is earning millions in a series of sponsorships and investments and is sixth in Forbes’ football rich list. Haaland has recently signed a new ten-year contract with Nike, which could be set to earn him around £20million a year. That’s just shy of Neymar’s staggering £23m Puma deal. American sportwear giants Nike were able to beat rivals adidas and Puma to his signature, having previously worked him…

HER bump was absolutely massive when she was pregnant with her third child. And due to her size, people always said the same thing to her – namely asking just how many babies she was expecting. Madison took to TikTok to share a video of herself when she was 41 weeks pregnant, showing off her bump in a white top and low-slung trousers. “Baby is very healthy, still no signs of labour,” she wrote over the video. Not pregnancy related but my head cold is back and I’m feeling awful today. Only a little longer until baby is here.” The…

This week, Genesis kicked off its latest project, the Genesis GV80 Coupe Concept, in New York. This is confirmed to be a draft of a finished product line that will be introduced to global users in the near future. As a concept, the Genesis GV80 Coupe has a 4-seat interior structure inspired by the X Speedium Coupe concept launched last year and a regular Genesis GV80 chassis. There is no denying…

Erling Haaland has silenced all the doubters this season with his remarkable goalscoring form – but eyebrows have been raised at his latest hairstyle which he sported in training. Erling Haaland has divided fans with his new hair-do ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich. The goal machine, who registered his 29th and 30th Premier League goals for the season in a 4-1 win away at Southampton on Saturday (April 8), debuted an eye-catching look in training on Monday (April 10). Rather than the usual ponytail, Haaland put his blond locks into pigtails to keep his hair…

Jesica Hogan, from Riley, Kansas, gave birth to her first son Max suddenly last July after several days of contractions. INCREDIBLE images show a mum-of-six giving birth to her youngest child on the floor of a hospital corridor after screaming at her husband to “catch” the baby. Jesica Hogan, based in Riley, Kansas, welcomed her only son Max in dramatic fashion last July after having five girls. Her astonishing birth at Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan, Kansas, was documented by photographer Tammy Karin. After several days of contractions without giving birth, Jesica feared the birth could happen very suddenly –…

Erling Haaland was born in Leeds in 2000 when his father was on the books of Leeds United. Alf-Inge Haaland had moved to England seven years earlier after working his way up through the ranks at local club Bryne. Just three years after Erling was born, Alf-Inge was forced to retire from football aged 30 with injury problems. He was famously on the receiving end of a ruthless Roy Keane tackle that injured his right knee, but he had existing problems with his left knee unrelated to the Manchester United midfielder’s red card incident. With his top-level career over, Alf-Inge…

Starting next year, China will begin phasing in its latest WS-15 engine on the fifth-generation Chengdu J-20 Mighty Dragon stealth fighter. The second half of 2024 is said to be when this will happen. The reason for such claims is the latest test of the J-20 with the WS-15. It was done at the end of March, and at the beginning of April, the first photos from the test appeared. By the way, it is the last photos that are the most clearly taken of all so far, which confirm the testing of the new engine. According to some media…

The Soviet MiG-23 ‘Flogger’ was designed to replace the MiG-21, but it proved less agile, more costly and less effective than Russia had hoped. At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union was producing some spectacular military aircraft. These included the likes of the Tupolev Tu-144 ‘Konkordski’, and the rather misleading MiG-25 ‘Foxbat’. Something that the Soviet’s may not be as proud of is the MiG-23 Flogger. A swing-wing fighter designed to replace the venerable MiG-21. However, the MiG-21 would outlast its supposed replacement in service. And the ‘Flogger’ has become one of the more problematic aircraft from the Soviet Union. Technical failures…

Cristiano Ronaldo has wowed the Lisbon locals this week after taking his latest supercar out for its debut journey on the streets. Ronaldo, a prolific collector of some of the world’s fastest and rarest supercars, recently invested in a showpiece McLaren model – made as a tribute to legendary Formula One driver Ayrton Senna. With only 500 models in the world created, Ronaldo snapped one up as soon as they hit the market. Now, he has finally unleashed the elegant machine onto the roads. Scroll down for video Not paying too much mind to keeping a low profile, Ronaldo left…

An incredible video shows the moment a Florida woman gave birth to a baby in the parking lot of a medical center as a midwife quickly grabbed the little girl from falling to the ground. Susan Anderson was in labor and rushing into Natural Birth Works in Coral Springs on June 19 when baby Julia decided she just couldn’t wait. Surveillance footage from Ring shows Anderson’s husband Joseph and two police officers watching as the newborn slipped through one of the legs in her mom’s shorts and was deftly caught by midwife Sandra Lovaina. ‘During the car ride to the…

Manchester City star Erling Haaland always knew he’d become one of football’s most sought after players and the striker predicted his rise by ditching his original surname. Manchester City goalscoring phenomenon Erling Haaland always knew he was set for super stardom when the forward-thinking striker changed his name as his career began to take-off. The 22-year-old son of City legend Alfie Haland has been a revelation in the Premier League since joining Pep Guardiola’s side in the summer. He made Prem history following his hat-trick against Manchester United on Sunday, becoming the first player to score THREE successive match trebles…

Elite SUVs are heavy, ostentatious and expensive – not the new Toyota Century, which sees the nameplate return to the US as a classy render concept. Toyota’s Century has a specific set of skills, like Liam Neeson. But unlike a regular assassin it will instead put you to sleep by way of its silent, cosseting and comfortable ride; its torquey V8 engines intended to provide smooth cruising. It’s a Japanese take on a Rolls-Royce or Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but the badge may be one reason that it isn’t a familiar sight on US roads – like the Volkswagen Phaeton some could…
