Video title : Gotta Keep the FAIL From FLYING AWAY! 😂 | Funnies and Fails | AFV 2020 Content creator ( Youtuber ) : AVM Official YT video :

President Donald Trump on Wednesday refused to clearly guarantee a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the upcoming US election in November to Joe Biden. "Well, we're going to have to see what happens," Trump responded when asked at a White House press conference whether he is committed to the most basic tenet of democratic rule in the United States. Trump, who is currently behind in the polls against Democratic challenger Joe Biden, then resumed his near daily complaint about the way the election is being organised. Apparently referring to the increased use of mail-in ballots -- due to the coronavirus pandemic -- he said: "You know that I've been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster." Trump frequently claims that mail-in ballots are vulnerable to mass fraud and are being encouraged by Democrats to rig the election. However, there is no evidence that ballots sent through the postal service have ever led to significant fraud in US elections. At the press conference, Trump seemed to suggest annulling what are expected to be the huge numbers of mailed-in ballots, saying that in such a scenario, he would remain in power. "Get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very peaceful -- there won't be a transfer, frankly. There'll be a continuation," he said. Trump's latest insistence that there cannot be a fair presidential election on November 3 came as pressure mounts over his plan to put a new, right-leaning justice on the Supreme Court. Trump is set to nominate a replacement on Saturday for the late liberal-leaning justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. His Republican Party, which has a majority in the Senate, is then expected to quickly confirm the nominee. If they succeed, the nine-justice court would then likely have a strongly pro-conservative bent for years to come. Democrats are crying foul, saying that the process should wait until the results of the election are known, allowing the winner to shape the Supreme Court. With Trump and the Republicans mounting a series of court challenges against the use of mail-in ballots, the chances of a contested election result are considered high. On Wednesday, Trump said he thinks the election "will end up in the Supreme Court."

We all hate having our photo taken. Unless we’re a celebrity and used to all the attention, it can be hard to focus and get a flattering picture. It turns out that this isn’t just a concern restricted to humans! Animals also resist the camera sometimes. INature/Facebook We’ve collected some of the funniest photos that have been captured by photographers trying to capture a photo of animals! If you can keep up, keep reading and see for yourself. Get ready to laugh… Hey, What’s Up? To the everyday animal in the wild, a camera can look like a strange device. Just what exactly is this big, black thing pointing in my face? Not today! This cheetah clearly wanted to learn more about the artistic process and so he got right up and personal with the photographer. INature/Facebook We love how comfortable these two seem to be next to each other. Whoever said curiosity killed the cat clearly never met this budding photographer feline! Here’s What You Look Like… We’ve all had our photo taken and begged the photographer to show us the image. Sometimes our hair is out of shape, other times we’re caught blinking at the worst time. It turns out that this fox has the same concerns as the rest of us! INature/Facebook Here, the photographer is getting nice and personal with this little guy as they look at some of their most recent photos. What do you think they saw together? Let’s hope the sly fox approves all the photos he sees! Don’t Mind Me… They always say that photographers shouldn’t interfere with nature while on location. However, that can be quite hard when nature literally climbs on top of you! Now, he’s stuck between a seal and a hard place: what’s next for this poor chap? INature/Facebook Well, it turns out that he has a sense of humor about the whole thing. Someone managed to snap these two… um… bonding while out on the nature trail together. To us, this photo is better than anything else he could have captured! What do you think? What Are You Looking At? Curiosity may kill the cat, but interest inspires the fox! Here, we can see how this little fox is taken some time out of playing in the snow to explore the wonders of technology. The photographer, meanwhile, can’t believe his luck! INature/Facebook Now, this fox will have a selfie of the ages: with his big brown eyes filling up the space and his nose just waiting to be bopped! What a good boy he is for staying so still. I Can Be A Toupee, Too! It’s hard to see where this man’s hair ends and this adorable white tiger ends. Can you imagine having such an incredible feline climb over your body like this? It just goes to show how all cats love acting like cats! INature/Facebook This is definitely one of the most intimate pictures between man and nature so far. We’re delighted someone managed to capture this image while they were playing. What do you think the original photo looked like? Joining The Family This photographer had a neat surprise when he was marching trying to find bears to snap. What he couldn’t predict, however, was he would be welcomed into a brand new family! Just like The Jungle Book! photo INature/Facebook Here, we can see how amazingly the bears are welcoming him into the pack – even giving him a haircut. We don’t recommend you do this – who knows what might happen! Hopefully, he got the photo and quickly made a safe escape. Birdie Selfie This bird is joining the selfie game! Good thinking from this photographer who decided to get a snap of this bird, who is busy making himself comfortable on a head! Look at that perfect balance. photo INature/Facebook We’re not sure if the bird was lured there with food or if this is a happy coincidence. Either way, we think the snap is a great find. We’d love to see the final image of this and see how it came out. Papa, Can You Hear Me? We’re not sure this is how cameras work! While this deer is busy using this camera as a microphone, we imagine he’s blocking all light needed to catch a photo. Still, the cheeky grin from the human makes this all worth it. photo INature/Facebook Let’s hope the deer didn’t cause too much damage when he was playing with the equipment. After all, they don’t know their own strength. This next image will make you question all reality… Spotted! This guy is quick as a fox! Some photographer tried to hide in a big ball of snow to capture the most authentic pictures of foxes in nature. However, he didn’t anticipate just how clever this fox is and got more than he bargained for! photo INature/Facebook This cheeky creature jumped at the chance to inspect the camera lens that was popping out of this ball of ice. Can you imagine how cute the final picture was? We would love to see it. Look Behind You! Have you ever seen a squirrel this friendly? One unsuspecting photographer is unaware that one of nature’s cutest creatures is right on top of his bag! He must have some tasty treats to lure a sneaky squirrel this close to him. photo INature/Facebook The photographer may have never seen this little guy, but this photo exists because someone else did! Thankfully, they took the picture and we can see how cute he is. It’s like nature’s version of Ratatouille! Guys, I’m Over Here! Anyone with a young toddler knows that sometimes you need a little help to get your subjects to look at the camera. Well, this photographer decided to employ his good friend, the meerkat, to capture his friends’ attention. photo INature/Facebook Do we think it paid off? At this time, it’s almost impossible to know. However, we do know that this photo is an awesome example of how humans and animals can work together to get the perfect shot. Fantastic Foxes It’s pretty amazing how inquisitive foxes are when they see a photographer. How is it that they manage to hide or examine the photo each time? We really love how they like to be behind the camera as well as in front of it. photo INature/Facebook Here, we can see just how nosy he is. As our female friend bends down to snap her shot, it almost looks as though the fox is about to strike a jump. Let’s hope nothing bad happened. You May Now Kiss The… Photographer? Can you think of a more adorable photo? Here is a woman just trying to snap a nature shot, but here comes this little guy! And what a cheeky guy he is – going straight in for a kiss! He must know how irresistible he is to animal lovers. photo INature/Facebook Amazingly, someone snapped this photo up during the intimate moment between these two. We’re not sure if the lady in shot managed to take her photo, but look at what we have instead? Very cute. My Turn! This is probably the worst thing that can happen to you during a photoshoot! Imagine the horror when your subject decides that enough is enough and wants her own camera. Well, this lion is showing us that she doesn’t want her photo taken – she would rather take the photos! photo INature/Facebook As she embarks on her new career, we can’t help but think of HOW she got that camera? Let’s hope no one was hurt or attacked and that she picked it up off the ground, let’s take a look at how she did it, shall we? Caught In The Act Here’s the photo taken right before this lion decided to take the camera that belonged to humans! Thankfully, everyone was at a safe distance from the Queen of the Jungle when she decided to take this camera for herself. photo INature/Facebook What’s more, she didn’t even say thank you! Let’s hope her new career in photography isn’t in vain and it isn’t a waste for the humans. Do you think insurance covers this? We hope so, for the humans’ sake! Say Cheese! Here’s another example of how animals can take over from humans and snap their own photos. Since this fox is a little smaller than a lion, this human could get up close and take this amazing image of the turned tables! photo INature/Facebook We’re pretty interested in the quality of a photo that was taken by an actual fox. Do you think they did a good job? We would love to know how it looked. Either way, we’re lucky enough to get this awesome image regardless. A Quick Haircut It’s important not to move when you’re taking a photo. This rings particularly true if you have a massive white wolf on your head trying to bite your ear off! What could possibly be going through this person’s head at this moment? photo INature/Facebook Amazingly, no one was hurt during this very unique photoshoot. What’s more, we’ve heard that the photo she took is actually an impressive one. We’re just glad both creatures had a good time and no one walked away injured. Smile For The Camera! We know by now that foxes love photography. However, what about these little guys? It’s almost too good to be true: he’s such a budding photographer that he’s even set up his own camera base next to a branch on a tree – good thinking! photo INature/Facebook They always talk about machines taking our jobs, but what about animals? While we weren’t looking, a bunch of animals have acquired the skills needed to become professional photographers. Ok, not really, but we should still be careful! Making Friends Being out in the field can be tough – you never know what you will get! For this lady, we can see that she was viciously attacked by her subjects. Only joking! It doesn’t seem like these cuties are causing much chaos. Facebook Clearly, they feel comfortable getting to know the photographer in the picture. In fact, this photo is much cooler than something she could have filmed. We would have to take one home with us since they’re so cute. A Little Left… A Little Right… What is it with foxes and their passion for photography? This sly guy is hijacking this photo shoot with his own artistic input. We wish we could find out what his photo looked like in the final take. For now, we just need to appreciate this photo for the beauty that it is! Imgur/thegentilewookie Why do you think they love photography? We’re pretty surprised by how many foxes have made this list so far. Either way, we’re impressed! What IS This Strange Device? You know who aren’t great photographers? Bears! Can you just imagine setting up your self-timing camera for a picture and this guy turns up? We would want to be as far away from this bear as possible. Imgur We love the way the bear is carefully looking through the lens without touching it. It’s as if he doesn’t know what the camera is but still respects its value. We’re guessing he’s smarter than the average bear! Dinner Time! This lion has had enough of your silly games. No more does she want to be subject to your arbitrary photos! Here, we can see how this lion has literally stolen the camera and taken it back to her den! Let’s hope she doesn’t think it’s dinner! Pinterest We all know how protective mothers can be – perhaps the cameraman was getting too close to her cubs? Either way, it’s clear the fun and games are over for this unlucky photographer. Do you think he got the camera back in the end? Surprise! It looks like this leopard wanted to get in on the action – to the horror of the photographer! We love how authentic the human face is when she is met with one of nature’s most formidable foes! Pinterest/Imgur What do you think happened next? It looks as though the leopard is small enough not to make too much of a problem, but we can’t help but wonder. Let’s hope the photographer got away safely. It looks like this is all in a day’s work for her. Misbehaving Beavers! This beaver saw a camera set up across from her dam and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Taken in the middle of the wildlife, it looks as though he is positively shocked by what he is seeing! Pinterest What do you think the camera is pointed at? We hope it isn’t a sign of deforestation or a broken dam that is making him react this way. This photo is definitely better than anything else that camera seems to be pointed at. Ready… Steady… Go! Here’s a rare view of a fox behind the camera from the subject’s point of view. We guess this is what it looks like to see a fox take your photo. What do you think he’s looking at? Perhaps the foxy photographer wants the subject to fix his/her hair. Pinterest/avijjapikkhu It’s rare that we can see these images of the animals from this vantage point. We have to say, we think it’s pretty cool to see the shot from this angle. Do you think the fox clicked the camera? We hope so! We’re Gonna Have To Take It Again… We can tell this cheeky monkey is a complete perfectionist. Having presumably taken the camera from a human photographer, he is looking through all the snaps trying to find the perfect ‘look’ he worked on all season. Pinterest/avijjapikkhu Judging by the photo here, it doesn’t look like he’s happy with the results! Apparently, after the photo was taken he demanded a whole new photo shoot to get the perfect shot. Rumors are that they’re still working today… Four Eyes Are Better Than Two It’s always nice to have a second opinion. This photographer agrees, even taking the words of wisdom from this little guy on his shoulder. The cute baby is cueing up a shot with perfect composition and lighting – good job! pinterest We’d love to see the differences between this human shot and then with the help of the monkey. Do you think there would be much of a difference? Maybe they’re shooting a fruit bowl with plenty of bananas! Not Today, Thanks! Eugh, being a famous squirrel is tough. What with all the cuteness and the photo shoots from nature lovers all day. Sometimes, you just need to say ‘enough is enough!’ and cancel the shoot all together. Pinterest Well, that’s exactly what this little guy did. After a long day of being everyone’s cutest little forest animal, he finally put an end to the shoot! Can you believe he got up and close like that? We can’t imagine the guys he had to get so close to the human! Let’s hope he got a good snap out of it. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Um, it’s quite safe to say these guys walked into the wrong den one day! After a long and grueling shoot, this bear had had enough and entered into a full-blown hissy fit. It looks like she caused quite the storm! Pinterest We reckon she was protecting her baby cub which is why she had a sudden change of heart. Or, this photo has been doctored – although we hope that isn’t the case. What do you think? Look From The Dentist’s Chair We’ve seen many photos on our list of animals peering into the camera. While we’ve often wished to see the final shot of that moment, it looks like we have one here. We must be honest: it’s not as charming or gracious as we thought it would be! Pinterest This little guy had clearly had enough of photo shoots and wanted to lash out at the photographer. Thankfully, he got this shot before potentially being bitten, or worse. The good news is that he likely outran this sloth. Taking Cover You may not know this, but hippos are surprisingly aggressive and dangerous animals. Their large size and short temperament have often landed travelers in a lot of trouble. As we can see by her eyes, this hippo is determined to keep us away from her calf. JORGE GUERRERO/AFP/Getty Images If this photographer had any sense, he or she would quickly leave after this photo and run to a safe distance. As the mother covers her child from view, there’s no telling what will happen if she’s pushed any farther. Room For One More? Is this charming polar bear running from the camera, or is he running toward it? Here, we can see this fella have something catch his eye. Is it dinner? Is it another photo shoot? Whatever it is, he wants in. Right now! Arterra/UIG via Getty Images Thankfully, we managed to catch this photo of him seeming interested in whatever wan on the other side of that window. Let’s just hope it wasn’t a bedroom or bathroom. That would have been… awkward. Smile For The Camera! We all have our diva moment sometimes. For this Siberian tiger in northern China, that moment is literally right now. There’s a reason why so many people are rushing to snap a shot of this little guy. He’s actually one of the rarest creatures in the world. Sadly, the Siberian tigers face extinction. Kevin Frayer/Getty Images Seeing a baby Siberian tiger is incredibly rare, which probably explains why he’s sick of being in front of the camera all day. Not much longer, buddy! The Animals Are Taking Over! So far, we’ve seen animals and humans on either side of the camera. This is the first time we’ve seen animals on both sides at the same time! It’s almost like humans are no longer needed at all. We think this is totally adorable. Facebook | FOTO-REIS What are the chances that this (human) photographer would catch this happening? We love the natural interest these animals have in a camera. Let’s hope they snapped a shot – we hope they did. Trying To Run Out Of Shot… We’ve all made a dash for it once in our lives. Usually, when our relative tries to grab a photo of us at the dinner table. Well, this elephant clearly felt the same thing! Thankfully, this talented photographer managed to catch this shot. facebook | naturesbestphotographyafrica This picture is actually pretty impressive. As a piece of art, it’s amazing how he or she achieved this look with the elephant running away. You were quick, Nelly, but not quick enough! Wait, What? How do you get a photo of a swan if they don’t like humans? Well, one way of doing it is dressing up as the animal you want to find! This actually is quite a common technique among filmmakers for nature shows. How else do you think they got their amazing shots? Pinterest This is a special behind-the-scenes shot of how those images are captured. If more photographers adopted this tactic, this entire article wouldn’t exist! So, every cloud! I Said No Photography! Whatever you do: make sure not to annoy a bird of prey! This Eagle was clearly having a bad hair day when this photographer snapped a picture of him. Well, imagine how shocked he must have been when this guy fought back!

Mahamadou Fofana – the cousin of Adama Traoré, a black French man who died in police custody in 2016 – purportedly drowned last week while fleeing from police. An internal investigation has been opened into the case, after his family said it would file a lawsuit for voluntary manslaughter. A court in Versailles announced the investigation on Friday, which will seek to determine the official cause of the 35-year-old’s death. It all began on the night of September 13, when police received a call from a local resident reporting a motorcycle theft in the western Paris suburb of Marly-le-Roi. Officers from France’s anti-crime brigade (Brigade anti-criminalité or BAC) were sent to the scene, where they said they intercepted five men trying to lift a motorcycle into a van. At around 11pm, the police gave chase, stopping the suspects’ vehicle. The police claimed that the driver cut the engine, before continuing to flee on foot. According to their version of events, the suspect then dove into the Seine River, yet then appeared to try to swim back to shore. The police said he drowned a few metres from land, despite their best efforts to save him. Fofana’s family has disputed their statement, raising questions about the murky circumstances surrounding the man’s death. Authorities have since issued a call for witnesses, due to a lack of video surveillance in the area where Fofana died. At the heart of the Fofana family’s complaints are the preliminary results of an autopsy performed on his body. On September 16, Versailles prosecutor Maryvonne Caillibotte said that “all signs pointed to drowning” as the cause of Fofana’s death, citing the report. Yet the family’s lawyer, Yassine Bouzrou, believes there is more to the story. “[There] were serious, recent lesions on the shoulder and head of the body, which could correspond to a blunt force,” he told FRANCE 24. A number of French media confirmed the existence of the lesions, as well as a skull depression, after viewing a copy of the autopsy report. While Caillibotte made mention of “fresh abrasions” on Fofana’s skull and right shoulder in her statement, she said that, according to the coroner, “they did not play a role in the cause of death”. Bouzrou, who said earlier this week that he intended to file a lawsuit for voluntary manslaughter, has since accused the Versailles prosecutor’s office of withholding important information. He also criticised the authorities’ efforts to “criminalise the victim” by leaking Fofana’s criminal record to the press, which showed that there has been a warrant out for his arrest since 2017, and that he was previously sentenced to 18 months in prison for drug trafficking. The Truth for Adama demands answers Asked whether there were any similarities between Fofana and his cousin Adama Traoré’s deaths, Bouzrou said that he saw “common points with numerous incidents of suspected police violence”. Traoré died on his 24th birthday on July 19, 2016, after being pinned down by three police officers during an identity check gone awry. While one autopsy found that heart failure was the cause of death, another concluded it was asphyxiation. No charges were ever brought in the case, which has become symbolic of discriminatory police violence in France. In the wake of Fofana’s death, The Truth for Adama – an advocacy group spearheaded by Traoré’s half-sister, Assa – has used social media to amplify his family’s calls for justice. In a video posted on Facebook, Fofana’s sister questions the “blurry circumstances” surrounding his death, saying that she did not “believe the official version of events at all” and calling on the police to “re-establish the truth”. At her side stands Assa Traoré, who adds: “There are lesions. We got the impression that he was hit with a baton.” A photograph of Fofana was also posted on Friday with the caption, “He was engaged in the fight Truth and Justice for Adama. He was against police violence. Unfortunately, he died during a car chase with the police. Sad destiny. Truth and Justice Mahamadou!” An investigative judge will now take over the case, which could take several months to conclude.

We all dream of flying our own planes across the country. The ability to get in and cross landscapes, even countries, is a level of freedom only enjoyed by the rich and famous. Or is it? It’s not impossible to own our own mini plane. We’ve outlined some of the best and most affordable planes that would be a great addition to any back yard. For only a few thousand dollars, we can all be like John Travolta. Let’s dive in… Aeronca 11AC This remarkable Aeronca 11AC was built in 1946. It was only in its second year of production, but still works and flies today. They were built until 1950 and are still regarded as a smooth flying airplane that has good mechanisms. The 11AC is a single prop engine two-seater light aircraft plane that has a conventional two-wheel landing set up. It’s an upgrade from the 7AC Champion model, originally designed for flight training purposes. And it can be all yours for around $17,000. Gemini This vintage aircraft comes from Britain. It was a four-seater, twin-engine, touring small airplane created by the Miles Aircraft Company. Each Gemini was produced at the company’s Aerodrome. It was named by the Miles Aircraft Company as the “safest light airplane in the world” at the time. The only difference between the original Gemini and later models were the modified engines chosen for following years. Pilots can buy one for $40,000 and fly home (or away from it!). Havilland Airco DH-9 This Havilland Airco DH-9 is a fairly little airplane first produced in 1920 by Havilland. It is a single engine biplane and actually also a bomber. Today, most of the Aircos belong to collectors and plane enthusiasts familiar with the history of these aircraft. planes If you want to buy one yourself, they will set you back a pretty penny. This would be a fun one to have around for the grandkids. If you can’t buy one, feel free to check out an air show: they are often featured because of their originality. 1934 Ryan ST-A N14986 SN 118 Here’s one for the plane lovers! This excellently restored classic small airplane is quite a rare sight. Its full name is the 1934 Ryan ST-A N14986 S/N 118. It was renovated by a guy called Troy Simpson from Fort Worth, Texas. Later, he would end up sending it to the UK – but how? A man saw it and had a Rolls-Royce that he swapped so he could acquire the plane from Simpson. That’s a pretty even swap. This model will cost you a pretty penny for sure, but it’s great to look at from a distance with admiration. Cessna 1721 Cessna has a pretty impressive history. They first joined the aircraft business in 1910, and have been making high-class aircraft ever since. The 1721 model is seen in this picture. Featuring the famous an over-the-cab-wing, this plane is an absolute classic. planes It can easily hold two people and is thought to be one of the more stable planes on the market. Few flaws and failures are reported since all of the controls and instruments are very basic. Shoppers can buy one for $35,000. Adam A500 This is pretty cool, with its double/single wing pattern over the back. It made its first appearance in 2003 and was praised as revolutionary due to the combined cockpit design chosen to outfit the plane. planes The plane underwent an upgrade with its Flight Max Brook Integra system that was used to substitute the previous one. The new 10.4-inch Sunburst design displays made things much easier to read for pilot and co-pilot. Would you fly it? 1943 Stinson Gullwing The next year, Gullwing introduced us to this 1943 Stinson. Like other planes, you can see the smooth lines and curves of the Art Deco design here. This point will easily get you from A to B due to its amazing engine and comfortable seats. This Gullwing can go for around $170,000, which isn’t bad for this brand of plane. In fact, unlike other planes, the older Gullwings are cheaper than the new ones, so it’s worth the investment! Stearman 75 The Stearman 75 plane has paved its way into aviation history as a reliable classic engine. This single prop biplane has delicate steering and traditional landing gear, with thick tires for landing anywhere you need to. planes via: . The Stearman 75 was initially used to train the military. Between the 1930s and 1940s, around 10,000 of them were built and distributed. Today, a Stearman 75 will only cost you $11,000 – not a bad price for your own plane! Boeing Model 40C In the 1920s, a change was happening across the United States. We started to see the introduction of airmail. It made transporting the mail more effective and let more mail be delivered. Companies decided that the Boeing Model 40C was the perfect plane to help out. planes via: .com It started servicing airmail in the 1920s and went on through to the 1930s. You can buy a used one for around $25,000 if you know the right places. That cost is worth it just for the collectors’ value itself. Vintage Stearman This is another retro Stearman mini airplane. The trick here is that this plane has clearly been redesigned and customized to the owners liking. We must say, we quite like the orange and black design that was chosen to surround the engine. In fact, the Germans are known for their famous World War II open-engine design. Sadly, if you want to own this one you’re fresh out of luck. The owner has no plans to part with it anytime soon. However, you can own a similar model for around $40,000. Piper Cherokee 140 The Cherokee first started its production run in January 1960 and continues to be made today. It highlights an unpressurized single cabin, fit for four passengers. Overall, the plane is driven by a single prop engine. planes It was initially designed for flight training and recreational use, but today it still continues to serve the very same purpose. However, there are many more flight trainers and recreational users! It can be all yours for just $25,000 – cheaper than most cars. 1950 Avro Anson This plane is a little more expensive than the others on this list. For $200,000, this 1950 Avro Anson plane can be all yours. This twin-engine trainer was developed in 1934 by Roy Chadwick. He was also in charge of designing the amazing Lancaster. via: mentertained.com This is a bit more intense than your average plane. The Avro Anson is designed to hold machine guns and bombs for wartime. After the war, England auctioned some of these for more than $6 million. Curtiss AT-9 Originally, it was designed to bridge the single-engine trainer planes and twin-engine combat jets. An archetype was developed in 1941 and entered full production started the following year, in 1942. For its entire lifespan, the Curtiss AT-9 proved to be very difficult to take off and land – even for experienced pilots. Eventually, production would finish the following year Today, you can find one for about $25,000 or so. This is mainly because they are more challenging to fly than standard sport aircraft. Cessna 150 G This little aircraft is an affordable option for plane enthusiasts and pilots. This 1967 Cessna stans out with its orange and white color scheme designed by the owner. It is one of the best short-field aircraft in its class, which you won’t regret owning. The best part of buying vintage planes is how each one was originally designed by its first owner. This makes them each unique and individual to one another. Even better: this can be yours for $40,000. WACO RPT Monoplane Usually, WACO planes are designed to be big and grand. Well, things are a little different for the RPT Monoplane. It was originally created to be a competition aircraft for USAF aerobatic training. via: .com When it came to thrills and tricks, these small planes could outperform most others. Today, this plane can be yours for $65,000. For that, you’ll get a Kinner 5 cylinder engine that produces 1850 RPMs with a solid 160 hp. Would you get it? Meyers 1943 OTW Biplane These vintage open-engine designs always look amazing, which is exactly what makes the Meyers OTW plane such a classic. It transpires that the airplane was built to compete against Stearmans as trainer models used in the Army Air Corps market. via: mentertained.com The biggest argument that buyers made when purchasing this over a Sterman were how it flew the same way, even Meyers were much cheaper. For $90,000, this can be yours. Not the cheapest planes, but one of the most attractive! 1946 Beech G17S Staggerwing Biplane Look at the design of this for a second and you can immediately tell it was made during the Art Deco period. These Beech planes were produced in 1946, just after the war. via: mentertained.com Can you see the way the propeller and nosecone are produced with the Art Deco style? The pillars between the wings here also have smooth lines consistent with the period.

Libya’s internationally recognised Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj announced his intention to step down by the end of October in a speech delivered on state television on Wednesday. “I declare my sincere desire to hand over my duties to the next executive authority no later than the end of October,” he said. “Hopefully, the dialogue committee will complete its work and choose a new presidential council and prime minister,” he added. Sarraj is head of the Government of National Accord, based in Tripoli, while eastern Libya and much of the south is controlled by a rival administration. He has headed the GNA since it was formed in 2015 as a result of a U.N.-backed political agreement aimed at uniting and stabilising Libya after the chaos that followed the 2011 uprising that ousted Muammar Gaddafi. His resignation could add to political uncertainty in Tripoli or even infighting among the rival factions in the coalition that dominates western Libya. However, it also comes in the context of a renewed push towards a political solution after the GNA in June ended the rival Libyan National Army’s 14-month assault on Tripoli and forced it to retreat from the capital. The war has drawn in regional and international powers with the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Russia backing the LNA and Turkey supporting the GNA.
