Whilst on holiday in North Wales it would be rude not to visit the Mach Loop. This was my first time visiting the Mach Loop and I was graced with my first fly by within 15 minutes of arriving. Many a time I have heard that you can sit up this hillside all day and not see anything. We had near perfect weather and I think the aircrew must have taken advantage of the conditions for training, as we were only there for a couple of hours and had several fly by's by Texans and F35 Lightnings. This Texan Training aircraft out of RAF Valley on the Anglesey an island off the north west coast of Wales.

This F35 Lightning is from the 48th Fighter Wing of the U.S. Air Force which operates out of RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk. Which ironically is not far from where I live and these aircraft regularly fly over our house.

The University of South Dakota Historic Core District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in February 2025. Photographs from the nomination.
Old Armory/Gymnasium (Belbas Center; Women’s Gymnasium; “The Bastille”)
Date of construction: 1904-1905
Architect: Kinney & Detweiler, Minneapolis; Erick Nylen of Vermillion served as the general contractor.
The Armory/Gymnasium was built primarily for a military training program facility. The first floor was a combined drill hall and basketball court and was open to the second floor, which featured a running track around the parameter overlooking the basketball court/drill hall space below. The third floor included space for gymnastics, wrestling and boxing. Munitions storage was located on the third floor. When the university decided in 1907 that a military unit was no longer needed, the armory became the university’s athletic facility. In 1918, it was used once again as a training facility and barracks for recruits and soldiers during World War I.
After the war, it housed the campus ROTC program until 1929, when the new armory/gymnasium was built. At the time, the building became the women’s gymnasium. Its use expanded as a multi-purpose facility through the 1970s; in the early 1980s it became the Facilities Management shop and storage building. Today, the building houses undergraduate admissions, financial aid, and the office of the registrar. It was previously listed individually in the National Register in 2002.
The Historic Core District includes a total of thirteen buildings plus a historic quad/greenspace, bird bath/fountain, and gateposts. The district includes historic resources that date from the earliest construction on campus through the mid-1950s. The period of significance begins in 1883, when the first section of University Hall (now called Old Main) was constructed, and ends in 1954, when the last buildings located within the district were built.
The earliest buildings are best-categorized as “Late Victorian” and include styles such as Richardsonian Romanesque and Chateauesque. Those constructed between 1900 and 1930 are examples of “Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals” and include Classical elements of styles such as Neoclassical, American Renaissance, and Beaux Arts. The buildings built after 1940 tend to illustrate the “Modern Movement” of architecture. Though architectural styles varied over the decades, the primary materials used for exterior building walls are stone and/or brick. The stone includes examples of various colors of Sioux quartzite and of Bedford limestone from Indiana.
One sits. One stands.
One is stripped, the other dressed in hierarchy.
This is not punishment.
It is structure.
Discipline is not imposed—it is absorbed under watchful silence.
The spine must break before it can be rebuilt.
The gaze is unnecessary. The presence is enough.
He does not look down—because the doctrine does not lower itself.
It reigns in silence, in posture, in form.
