How can a young lady protect you in case of a polar bear attack? The photos shows KLM flight attendant Joanna Van Duffelen, with a Fairchild Armalite AR–10 combat rifle, dressed in Arctic clothing. Photo 1959. The work of flight attendants and stewards begins long before the departure of the aircraft and does not end immediately after landing. The main thing in this job is not food and drinks, but the safety of passengers in any critical situation. In 1958, KLM launched transarctic flights from Amsterdam to Tokyo with refueling in Anchorage. It was the era of motor aircraft at the dawn of mass passenger aviation. The company paid special attention to the risk of an emergency landing in the Arctic. Each plane carried a set of survival equipment. As you can see, KLM Dutch Airlines flight attendant Joanna is ready for the rigors of life in the Arctic. Ms. Van Duffelen is wearing Arctic survival gear aboard every KLM plane flying the polar route from Amsterdam to Tokyo. The set consists of hundreds of items, including sleeping bags, snow goggles, axes, snow saws, knives, traps, fishing nets, and special rations. The rifle, designed and developed by the Armalite division of Fairchild Engine Corporation and Airplane Corporation, is part of KLM's standard survival equipment. So how can a frail flight attendant survive in the Arctic and protect herself and passengers in the event of a polar bear attack? The Arctic survival kit included: warm down jackets, shared sleeping bags for 4 people, snowshoes, glasses, a 2-burner burner with dishes, a shovel, an axe, a raft, cords, candles, knives, flares, flasks and much more. But the most important thing is the AR-10 carbines in case of a collision with a polar bear :) In total, 4-engine DC-7 aircraft took 400 kg of equipment on each flight.

Тонкости весенней охоты на гуся Весенняя охота на гуся — это период, когда птицы возвращаются с юга, и миграционные стаи становятся удобной мишенью для охотников. Важно знать особенности поведения гусей и их маршруты. Выбирайте места на водоемах и устанавливайте приманки, имитирующие других птиц. Также рекомендуется использовать маскировочную сетку и манок для привлечения гусей.

Jagd & Hund Exhibition in Dortmund, Germany As an avid hunter, I recently had the pleasure of attending the Jagd & Hund exhibition held in Dortmund from January 28, 2025. This event was a remarkable experience for anyone who shares a passion for hunting, and I wanted to share my thoughts. First and foremost, the selection of modern hunting weapons was truly impressive. From state-of-the-art rifles to innovative shotguns, the variety on display catered to all hunting styles and preferences. I had the opportunity to handle several models, and the manufacturers were more than willing to discuss specifications, features, and the latest advancements in technology. Beyond firearms, the exhibition also showcased a stunning range of all-terrain vehicles specifically designed for hunting. These rugged machines are equipped to tackle any terrain, making them perfect companions for those long trips into the wilderness. It was fascinating to see how the automotive industry is evolving to meet the needs of hunters. Moreover, the section dedicated to taxidermy was breathtaking. I marveled at the artistry and skill showcased in creating lifelike representations of various game animals. It added a unique touch to the exhibition, highlighting the importance of ethical hunting practices and wildlife conservation. Additionally, there were various booths featuring hunting gear, clothing, and accessories, which made it easy for attendees to find everything they needed for their next hunting trip. The vibrant atmosphere and the camaraderie among fellow hunters created an unforgettable experience. In conclusion, attending the Jagd & Hund exhibition was a highlight of my hunting calendar. I left feeling inspired and more informed about the latest trends and technologies in the hunting world. If you’re passionate about hunting, this is an event you shouldn’t miss in the coming years!
