The statue is named "Freedom of the Human Spirit", and is located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, New York, NY. It was built for the 1964 Worlds Fair and is in the same park as the famous UFOs on the observatory towers from "Men In Black"... Exactly Correct. Take it away |

Thanks Bernie, I hope you enjoyed your holiday on our side of the pond, that was a great picture you took! Here's the next one, where is this building and what is it's significance?

It is a common mistake, Thames House is the HQ of MI5: https://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/thames-house.html The pic you posted is, in fact, the front view of the mystery building, but is misidentified...

MI6 HQ. Yes, also known as the Secret Intelligence Services Headquarters, and also as "Legoland"! Take it away Gary... Sending PM "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - Orwell |

This should be very easy. Where is it? Now if you want a challenge, are they all the same model on the flight line? |

Now if you want a challenge, are they all the same model on the flight line? I'll take on this part, counterclockwise from the top left of the ramp what I see is this: 2 x KC-10 Extenders 21 x B-52 Stratofortresses 8 x C-141 Starlifters On the smaller ramp in the distance I think I see another C-141. In the interest of full disclosure, I spent 10 years as an Air Traffic Control specialist in the Marine Corps, so I recuse myself from any further answer and defer to others...

Is it in the States? It is a US military base, but not in the States. |
