HMHT - 302 Marine Heavy Helicopter Training Squadron 302 ( HMHT - 302 ) , is a United States Marine Corps helicopter training squadron stationed at Marine Corps Air Station New River , North Carolina . Known as the " Phoenix " , HMHT - 302 trains newly commissioned Naval Aviator s , conversion pilots , refresher pilots , and enlisted aircrew on the CH - 53E Super Stallion and falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 29 ( MAG - 26 ) and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing ( 2nd MAW ) . Mission . Conduct combat capable helicopter flight training for all CH - 53E Super Stallion Marine Corps pilots and aircrew . All basic , conversion and refresher pilots as well as aircrew receive assault support training in the CH - 53E to prepare them for follow on assignment in the Fleet Marine Force . History . Marine Heavy Helicopter Training Squadron 302 was originally designated Marine Medium Helicopter Training Squadron 302 ( HMMT - 302 ) , on November 1 , 1966 , at Marine Corps Air Facility Santa Ana , California , and assigned to Marine Helicopter Training Group 30 , 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing . The squadron was tasked with training newly designated Naval Aviator s and conversion pilots to fly the Boeing - Vertol CH - 46 Sea Knight . Upon deactivation , the squadron had accumulated 34 , 850 . 7 flight hours without mishap . On March 31 , 1972 , personnel from HMT - 302 were merged with Marine Heavy Helicopter Training Squadron 301 ( HMT - 301 ) , to form the newly designated Marine Helicopter Training Squadron 301 ( HMT - 301 ) , conducting pilot training in the CH - 46F and CH - 53A helicopters . The restructured HMT - 301 was attached to Marine Aircraft Group 16 . In December 1983 , the squadron began training CH - 53E Replacement Aircrew ( RAC ) , and later established the Fleet Readiness Aviation Maintenance Personnel ( FRAMP ) department to train CH - 53E enlisted mechanics and technicians . On November 20 , 1987 , the squadron was reactivated and designated Marine Helicopter Training Squadron 302 ( HMT - 302 ) attached to Marine Aircraft Group 16 flying both the CH - 53A and CH - 53E helicopters . The FRAMP accompanied the helicopters to HMT - 302 and in 1991 , added the CH - 53A / D to their curricula . Between January 9 and January 23 , 1996 , HMT - 302 safely executed a transcontinental move to MCAS New River , North Carolina . The transfer became effective in February 1996 when HMT - 302 officially attached to MAG - 29 . In March to April 1998 , HMT - 302 deployed to South Africa in support of Presidential Operation — the first Fleet Replacement Squadron to deploy overseas for a real world military operation . As of March 4 , 2003 , HMT - 302 has surpassed 82710 Class A mishap - free flight hours in Sikorsky H - 53 helicopters . In the summer of 2010 , HMT - 302 was re - branded Marine Heavy Helicopter Training Squadron 302 ( HMHT - 302 ) .

Hiller X - 18 The X - 18 was an experimental cargo transport aircraft designed to be the first testbed for tiltwing and VSTOL ( vertical / short takeoff and landing ) technology . Development . Design work started in 1955 by Stanley Hiller Jr and Hiller Aircraft Corporation received a manufacturing contract and funding from the U . S . Air Force to build the only X - 18 ever produced , serialled " 57 - 3078 " . To speed up construction and conserve money the plane was constructed from scavenged parts including a Chase YC - 122C Avitruc fuselage , " 49 - 2883 " , and the turboprops came from the Lockheed XFV - 1 and Convair XFY - 1 Pogo experimental fighter programs . The tri - bladed contra - rotating propellers were a giant 16 ft ( 4 . 8 m ) across . The Westinghouse turbojet engine had its exhaust diverted upwards and downwards at the tail to give the plane pitch control at low speeds . Hiller nicknamed their X - 18 the Propelloplane for public relation purposes . Service history . The first test flight was on November 24 , 1959 , ultimately recording 20 flights out of Edwards AFB . A number of problems plagued the X - 18 including being susceptible to wind gusts when the wing rotated , acting like a sail . In addition the turboprop engines were not cross - linked , so the failure of one engine meant the airplane would crash . Thrust control was through throttle changes , which were too slow for acceptable height and roll control . On the 20th and final flight in July 1961 , the X - 18 had a propeller pitch control problem when attempting to convert to a hover at 10 , 000 ft and went into a spin . The crew regained control and landed , but the X - 18 never flew again . However ground testing of the tiltwing concepts continued . Eventually a VTOL Test Stand was built on which the X - 18 ' s vertical takeoff and landing and hover control was to be tested . One engine run was successfully conducted to the full 15 - foot wheel height on the VTOL Test Stand . The program was cancelled on January 18 , 1964 before further VTOL Test Stand testing could be conducted , and the X - 18 was cut up for scrap . The program proved several things that contributed to further tilt - wing VSTOL technology programs : This knowledge was employed in the successful development and flight tests of the Tri - Service XC - 142A , tilt - wing VSTOL transport .

Christian Sharps Christian Sharps , ( January 2 , 1810 - March 12 , 1874 ) was the inventor of the Sharps rifle - the first commercially successful breech loading rifle . Rifle . Sharps began work as a youth when , it is believed , he was an apprentice to a gunsmith in Washington , New Jersey . He then accepted an entry level position at the Harpers Ferry Arsenal in the 1830s working as a filer . While at Harpers Ferry , Sharps was introduced to the Hall rifle , an early breech - loader , and worked for its inventor , Captain John H . Hall . Sharps also became versed in the manufacture of weapons with fully interchangeable parts . Sharps was issued a patent for his design of a breech - loading rifle on September 12 , 1848 . The deficiencies of the Hall rifle may have caused Sharps to adopt his new design . The Sharps rifle was designed with a vertical dropping block action , operated by a lever which also served as a trigger guard . The action was not only strong but limited the release of gases when the gun was discharged . Sharps ' first rifle , the Model 1849 , was manufactured by A . S . Nippes & Co . at Mill Creek , Lower Merion Township , Montgomery County , Pennsylvania . Although not the first breech - loading rifle , Sharps ' was the first to be accepted widely and , with the onset of the American Civil War , the first to be produced in large quantities . The Sharps , in a carbine version , was the most widely - used cavalry carbine by the Union Army . It was so successful that it was copied and manufactured by the Confederate government to arm its mounted troops . Sharps ' designed firearms later saw extensive use in the American West as military and hunting weapons . They were highly regarded as target rifles and were used extensively in international shooting competitions through the late 19th century . Although the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company bore his name , Christian Sharps was not the company ' s owner . He left the firm , first to form C . Sharps and Company in 1853 and then Sharps & Hankins , in partnership with William Hankins , in 1862 . Both firms were located in Philadelphia . The Sharps and Hankins partnership ended in 1866 and Sharps resumed the manufacturing of firearms under the C . Sharps and Company name . In all , he was awarded a total of fifteen firearms - related patents . Personal life . Born in Washington , New Jersey , in 1810 , he married Sarah Elizabeth Chadwick of Lower Merion Township , Pennsylvania . The couple had two children , a daughter Satella and son Leon Stewart . During 1870 Sharps and his family moved to Vernon , Connecticut , where he continued working on firearms design and started a large trout farming business . Succumbing to tuberculosis , Sharps died in Vernon , on March 12 , 1874 . See also . Sharps Rifle Sharps & Hankins Model 1862 Carbine
SS Ukkopekka The SS " Ukkopekka " is a Finnish steamship in service as a tourist and heritage attraction . History . The ship was built in Helsinki , Finland in 1938 and was at the time a modern , icebreaking inspection vessel . The vessel was the first inspection vessel in independent Finland , built by the Finns for the National Board of Navigation , and her year of manufacture is the same as that of the icebreaker " Sisu " . She was originally known as Inspection vessel SS " Turku " and was built to the hull designs of the SS " Sisu " , the only alterations being that of the scale . Thus the SS " Ukkopekka " is probably the last sea - going passenger steamer designed for icebreaking still in active service . The original engine of the SS " Ukkopekka " was a triple expansion steam engine , built in Helsinki in 1937 , and originally designed for warships by the Germans . This engine is probably the last one in active use in the whole world . The engine is in very good condition , as the Finnish state took very good care of it . The boiler was renewed in 1976 . The hull is surveyed every two years and it is still in excellent condition — thanks to the high quality steel of 1937 . Soon after she had been built , the SS " Turku " was transferred to military service . The ship served during the Winter War ( 1939 – 1940 ) . Despite the extreme conditions of that very harsh winter , the ship was in active service almost without a break . During the Continuation War ( 1941 – 1944 ) , the vessel served as a convoy ship in the Åland Sea . After the war , the vessel returned to her original task , serving the National Board of Navigation ( pilotage service ) as a maintenance and inspection vessel on the Archipelago Sea . Pilot training was part of the daily routine on board , and so was sea mark maintenance . In her home port , the lower steamship port of Turku , the coal trimmer soon became the subject of many letters to the editor and received complaints from the residents of apartment houses on the banks of the Aura River , who claimed that the soot from her chimneys made their laundry dirty . As a result , the coal stores were replaced by oil containers in 1976 , and the boiler hatches were replaced with oil - driven blowers . The rest of the engine has been preserved unaltered , in its original shape . In fact there are five steam engines altogether : the main engine , winch engine , rudder engine and two water pumps . People interested in steam engines come from all over the world to admire this " museum piece " , which still is in excellent condition and in active use , and probably will remain so for decades . The Finnish state gave up the vessel in 1979 , when a new , larger and more modern inspection vessel was built . After some alteration work on deck and inside the vessel , steamship traffic was reintroduced in the Turku region in the spring of 1986 . This marked the first return of traditional steaming in the area since the 1950s . In the winter of 1987 – 1988 , the ship saloons were enlarged and renovated . The kitchen and storage facilities were also renovated to meet modern requirements and service standards .
Raymond H . Cooley Raymond Henry Cooley ( May 14 , 1916 – March 12 , 1947 ) was a soldier who received the Medal of Honor for actions in the campaign to recapture the Philippines from Japanese forces during World War II . Cooley joined the Army from Tennessee in September 1941 . Cooley is one of a few known Medal of Honor recipients to have fallen on a grenade and survived . Medal of Honor citation . Rank and organization : Staff Sergeant , U . S . Army , Company B , 27th Infantry , 25th Infantry Division . Place and date : Near Lumboy , Luzon , Philippine Islands , February 24 , 1945 . Entered service at : Richard City , Tenn . Born : May 7 , 1914 , Dunlap , Tenn . G . O . No . : 77 , September 10 , 1945 . Citation : He was a platoon guide in an assault on a camouflaged entrenchment defended by machineguns , rifles , and mortars . When his men were pinned down by 2 enemy machineguns , he voluntarily advanced under heavy fire to within 20 yards of 1 of the guns and attacked it with a hand grenade . The enemy , however , threw the grenade back at him before it could explode . Arming a second grenade , he held it for several seconds of the safe period and then hurled it into the enemy position , where it exploded instantaneously , destroying the gun and crew . He then moved toward the remaining gun , throwing grenades into enemy foxholes as he advanced . Inspired by his actions , 1 squad of his platoon joined him . After he had armed another grenade and was preparing to throw it into the second machinegun position , 6 enemy soldiers rushed at him . Knowing he could not dispose of the armed grenade without injuring his comrades , because of the intermingling in close combat of the men of his platoon and the enemy in the melee which ensued , he deliberately covered the grenade with his body and was severely wounded as it exploded . By his heroic actions , S / Sgt . Cooley not only silenced a machinegun and so inspired his fellow soldiers that they pressed the attack and destroyed the remaining enemy emplacements , but also , in complete disregard of his own safety , accepted certain injury and possible loss of life to avoid wounding his comrades . After the war . Cooley would return home to Tennessee where he along with fellow Medal of Honor recipients Charles Coolidge and Paul Huff led a 4 July celebration in 1946 . Cooley ' s life after the war was brief and tragic . He suffered agony from his war wounds and became addicted to both drugs and alcohol . He died from a fatal car accident by running into a brick wall on March 12 , 1947 . It was determined that he had been driving under the influence . Highway 28 between Jasper and I - 24 in Tennessee is now officially named the Raymond H Cooley Highway .

DeCou House DeCew House ( variably spelt DeCow , Du Coo or DeCou ) was built by John DeCew , c . 1808 , in Thorold Township , Upper Canada . The two story house had limestone walls thick . DeCew was a captain in the 2nd Lincoln Militia during the War of 1812 , and also spent almost a year as a prisoner of war . During his absence , his house was used by the British army as a detachment headquarters under the command of Lieutenant James FitzGibbon . The house is remembered as the destination of Laura Secord ' s celebrated journey to warn the British of a planned American attack . Thanks to her warning , FitzGibbon was prepared for the attack , and in the ensuing Battle of Beaver Dams was able to secure the surrender of an American force of approximately 500 men . Following the war , DeCew lived in the house with his wife Katharine , raising eleven children and operating a mill a short distance away . He sold the house when he relocated to Haldimand County in 1834 . The house was purchased by David Griffiths , and he and his descendants occupied the house until 1942 . At that time , the property was acquired by the Hydro - Electric Power Commission of Ontario ( a predecessor of Ontario Power Generation ) . Most of the surrounding land was flooded to create Lake Gibson as a reservoir for hydroelectric power generation purposes . The house , being on high land , was not flooded and continued to stand unoccupied . In 1950 , it was destroyed by fire under suspicious circumstances . Due to the historical significance of the structure , the lower part of the stone walls were preserved . The Power Commission installed a flagstone floor and a plaque explaining the history of the structure . In January , 2008 , John Burtniak , chair of Thorold ' s War of 1812 bicentennial committee , urged the City of Thorold to acquire the property to assure the protection of this important historical asset . However , Thorold Council rejected the proposal citing the cost of upkeep . Despite this , the City of Thorold assumed ownership of the DeCou House in early 2011 from the Ontario Power Generation for a nominal fee , completing a restoration project in October of that year . On June 22 , 2013 marked the 200th Anniversary of Laura Secord ' s courageous trek to The DeCew House to warn Lt . James FitzGibbon of the planned attack of the Americans during the War of 1812 . The event was a huge success and The Laura Secord Legacy trail now is a part of The Canadian trail . The DeCew descendants were on hand to join in on the famous walk to DeCew House . Fifth generation descendants were on hand with Mark DeCew , his wife Rita DeCew and their daughter Jolene DeCew . Mark ' s sister Lynne DeCew and her husband Hans Sipma . The Friends of Laura Secord are hoping to make this a yearly event .

Newark Castle , Selkirkshire Newark Castle is a large , ruined tower house standing in the grounds of Bowhill House , in the valley of the Yarrow Water three miles west of Selkirk in the Scottish Borders . In addition to the keep , sections of a gatehouse and wall survive . Newark Castle was granted to Archibald Douglas , Earl of Wigtown around 1423 . It was incomplete at this time and work continued until about 1475 . The surrounding barmkin was added around 1550 , and the present battlements and two square caphouses date from about 1600 . After the fall of the Black Douglases the castle was held by the crown , and in 1473 it was given to Margaret of Denmark , wife of James III . The royal arms are visible on the west gable . Newark was unsuccessfully besieged by an English army in 1547 , but was burnt the following year . In 1645 , during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms , 100 royalist followers of the Marquis of Montrose were shot in the barmkin of Newark after the Battle of Philiphaugh . The castle was altered for Anna , Duchess of Monmouth and Buccleuch at the end of the 17th century . It was visited by Sir Walter Scott and William and Dorothy Wordsworth in 1831 . The castle is believed to be haunted by the souls of women and children murdered by brutal soldiers at the site , who are heard each year on September 13 .
Black operation A black operation or black op is a covert operation by a government , a government agency , or a military organization . This can include activities by private companies or groups . Key features of a black operation are that it is clandestine , it has negative overtones , and it is not attributable to the organization carrying it out . The main difference between a black operation and one that is merely clandestine is that a black operation involves a significant degree of deception , to conceal who is behind it or to make it appear that some other entity is responsible ( " false flag " operations ) . A single such activity may be called a " black bag operation " ; that term is primarily used for covert or clandestine surreptitious entries into structures to obtain information for human intelligence operations . Such operations are known to have been carried out by the , the Central Intelligence Agency , Mossad , MI6 and the intelligence services of other nations . Etymology . " Black " may be used as a generic term for any government activity that is hidden or secret . For example , some activities by military and intel agencies are funded by a classified " black budget , " of which the details , and sometimes even the total , are hidden from the public and from most congressional oversight .
