365 days of ouat ladies: day 202

Several years ago visiting Pensacola, the door to one of the restoration hangars was open so I peeked in and got this shot of the Consolidated PB2Y Coronado under restoration- today it’s on display inside the National Naval Aviation Museum. Note the four-bladed props inboard and three bladed ones on the outboard engine. The first PB2Y Coronados had three bladed propellers on all four engines. However, operational experience had shown that the inboard props were subject to more pitting and corrosion caused by the spray thrown up by the Coronado’s hull on landings and takeoffs. Since the outboard engines were further away, they weren’t as badly damaged by repeated spray exposure. As a result, the inboard engines on the Coronado fleet were refitted with four bladed props that were several inches shorter and less impacted by the spray. A smaller propeller with a fourth blade generated the same propulsive force as the larger original three bladed propellers which remained on the outboard engines. Note also the bomb bays in the wings behind the engine nacelles. In January and February 1944, the PB2Ys of VP-13 and VP-102 were assigned to conduct bombing raids on Wake Island which was occupied by the Japanese. VP-13 would attack with 13 Coronado aircraft at low level followed 25 minutes later by VP-102’s Coronados attacking from 8000 feet. Four such attacks were made the by the PB2Ys of both squadrons. For the most part, though, the Coronado fleet was used as transports as their range was actually shorter than that of the aircraft they were supposed to replace, the PBY Catalina. Ten PB2Ys were sold to the RAF, but they found the Short Sunderland to have better range and those RAF Coronados served in transport roles during the war. The Coronado on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum is the sole surviving example. | October Aviation Photo Challenge | @kjdphoto1971 | #1017planes | “Night at the Museum” | Day 13 | #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KNPA #NPA #NASPensacola #Pensacola #NationalNavalAviationMuseum #airport #Florida #Consolidated #PB2Y #Coronado #flyingboat #mil_aviation_originals #instaaviation #Avgeekery #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge (at National Naval Aviation Museum)

   — favoritism is favoring one person over another on merits other than professional.

war has little to do with how people go about their lives. this is about twenty-four year old kim taehyung , better known as the sergeant of knpa's special unit against organized crime.

canon: the image part of: turn a blind eye

freeform: you are born with a pure heart and a sense of justice that the world needs. your childhood is spent watching those cartoons where the bad guy always loses, and the hero is given recognition for their achievements. you want to be a hero, and you want to know that recognition.

your father had the same ambition once, when he was your age. now he is a hero in your eyes, and you want to follow his path to make it your own.

your teenage years are filled with saving kids in school from bullies, even if it means taking a few hits yourself. you acquire your best friend, your lover, during this time period; you save him from a life you know not. he is everything you could have ever wanted and more. the rest of your high school years are spent either by his side or in a criminal justice textbook.

upon enrollment in the knpu to pursue your passion, your now ex-lover shatters your heart when he leaves you, leaving only hate for the boy you once saved from a life of hardships. you despise him for throwing everything you believed in back at your face. if he had truly loved you as he always said he did, he wouldn’t have turned his back on you. promises go unkept and broken, shared belongings are destroyed, and you are determined to erase his existence from your mind.

instead, you dedicate yourself entirely to become a police officer, but you weren’t prepared for the struggles that accompanied your father being the chief superintendent of the knpa. rumors of favoritism surround everything you do, shoved down your throat every time you breathe. your accomplishments become trivialized in the shadow of your father. you could never be mad at him though, your idol and the man who helped get you this far despite being such a young age, but you want to be known for your efforts.

this is certainly not the reaction you expected, frustration building within you for how others would sum up your achievements to nothing more than favor of the chief superintendent. it makes you want to do more to prove yourself, you want to be seen as more than just the son of your father, you still want to be the hero you always dreamed of being since you were very little. your deep set need to be recognized pulls you to great lengths to acquire such attention.

determined to cease all claims of favoritism, you distance yourself from your father and join the unit in the north. you know this is where he is, the boy that broke your heart, but he doesn’t matter. you are only here for one reason: to stop the bad guys, to stop the outfit. you won’t let him or the rumors get in your way, not now, not ever.
