Q: (CNN) The unmistakable roar of the A-10's powerful engines echoed throughout Arlington National Cemetery this month as four aircraft saluted retired Col. Avery Kay for the last time with a rare flyover of the historic burial site. Kay, 96, died on October 29 and was buried with full military honors. A highly decorated navigator who led some of the most dangerous bombing raids against Germany during World War II, Kay was also credited with launching the concept of the A-10 Thunderbolt, better known as the Warthog. Despite lacking the air-to-air combat ability of the F-15 Eagle and the high-tech stealth capabilities of the F-22 Raptor, the U.S. Air Force still uses the A-10 to support ground forces in close combat more than 40 years after its first flight in 1975.U.S. Air Force has used A-10 to support ground forces in close combat since 1975Retired Col.

Q: The moment Tony Abbott stood in front of sexist signs describing Julia Gillard as a 'witch' and 'Bob Brown's b***h' as he gave an anti-carbon tax speech five years ago should have ended his career, the former Prime Minister says. Just weeks after Ms Gillard announced the federal government would introduce a carbon tax, then-opposition leader Tony Abbott addressed a crowd of 3,000 angry protesters outside Parliament House on March 23, 2011. Mr Abbott stood in front of offensive signs that read 'Ditch the Witch', 'Juliar' and 'Bob Brown's b***h' as a backdrop for his speech accusing Ms Gillard of breaking a pre-election promise not to introduce a carbon tax.Tony Abbott used angry signs as a backdrop to his anti-carbon tax speechThen opposition leader addressed protesters in 2011 in CanberraSigns referring to Julia Gillard read 'Ditch the Witch' and 'Juliar'Ms Gillard says that moment should have ended Mr Abbott's careerThe Killing Season: The Long Shadow airs tonight at 8.30pm on the ABC

Q: (CNN) In early August 2015, Chris Lihosit fell ill with an exhausting, dehydrating and pyjama-soaking fever that mysteriously disappeared two days later. During a check-up, on his 43rd birthday, his doctor named summertime flu the most likely culprit. Then the same thing happened again, and it settled into a disturbing pattern: midweek chills and an escalating fever that would break on Sunday. By Monday, Chris would feel fine, only to have the sequence repeat itself. He joked about it with colleagues at T-Mobile, where he works in software development, "Well, I hope it's not cancer!" On alternating weekends from May to October, Chris would volunteer as a back country ranger for the US Forest Service -- a physically demanding role that involves patrolling Washington's Cascade Mountain forests and hiking along high-altitude trails with a backpack that can weigh up to 32 kilograms.Chris Lihosit was saved by umbilical cord blood from three babies used to treat LeukemiaCord blood banking is still the exception rather than the norm
