Tropical Depression 17F (1999)
The tropics are the regions of Earth surrounding the equator, where the sun may shine directly overhead. This contrasts with the temperate or polar regions of Earth, where the Sun can never be directly overhead. This is because of Earth's axial tilt; the width of the tropics (in latitude) is twice the tilt. The tropics are also referred to as the tropical zone and the torrid zone (see geographical zone). Due to the overhead sun, the tropics receive the most solar energy over the course of the year, and consequently have the highest temperatures on the planet. Even when not directly overhead, the sun is still close to overhead throughout the year, therefore the tropics also have the lowest seasonal variation on the planet; "winter" and "summer" lose their temperature contrast. Instead, seasons are more commonly divided by precipitation variations than by temperature variations. The tropics maintain wide diversity of local climates, such as rain forests, monsoons, savannahs, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flottille 17F
Flottille 17F is a squadron of French Naval Aviation which currently flies the Dassault Rafale M from Landivisiau Naval Air Base. It was formed during April 1958 at Hyeres Naval Air Base and flew the Vought F4U7 Corsair for training purposes. Flottille 17F is nicknamed "La glorieuse". The symbol of the 17F flotilla is the osprey. History It quickly proved itself in the Algerian theater of operations and Tunisia. The squadron was dissolved in 1962, but later reformed on 10 January 1964 using the Dassault Etendard IV M with the Super Etendard entering service on 5 September 1980, 17F was the first flotilla to use the Super Étendard Modernisé. The Super Etendard aircraft composing the Flottille 17F regularly embarked aboard the French nuclear aircraft-carrier ''Charles de Gaulle''. Flottille 17F was involved in many conflicts such as: * Mission Olifant in 1983 in Lebanon; * Mission Prometheus for 14 months in the Gulf of Oman; * Mission Capselle off the coast of Leba ...
