Straps , also known as aerial straps , are a type of aerial apparatus on which various feats of strength and flexibility may be performed, often in the context of a circus performance. It is a cotton or nylon web apparatus that looks like two suspended ribbons. Straps are available in various configurations, including those with various types of loops at the ends and those without loops. A straps act usually includes held poses and postures done on the straps, dance moves performed on the floor away from the straps, partner acrobatics done on and off the straps, as well as having the straps pulled up and let down during the act. ref http community.simplycircus.com tutorials aerialaerial arts faq.htm Aerial Arts FAQ . Community.simplycircus.com. Retrieved on 2012 04 15. ref The Panteleenko Brothers The discipline of aerial straps was originally a Chinese specialty where athletes would perform intensely muscular tricks up and down the straps. Many of the moves are similar to those of the Aerial Rings. The pioneers of contemporary aerial straps were identical twins Yuri and Valery Panteleenko, known as the Panteleenko Brothers. The brothers started their performance careers as part of a Russian illusionist s magic show. During a show in Rostov On Don in 1969, Vladivien Levshin, the Rubanov Company s acrobatic coach saw their athleticism and potential and began training them to perform what was to become a milestone act in the history of this apparatus. Previously, a straps routine would be performed from a static position, only moving up and down the straps. Levshin introduced swinging, circular, and two person moves. These new elements, not to mention the brothers elegance and resemblance added a new level of grace and beauty to the balletic nature of the apparatus.

Unreferenced date March 2008 Cleanup rewrite date May 2009 Aerial Observer Air Force Reconnaissance . An Aerial Observer is the functional position of gathering information visually from an airborne platform for use by military or commercial purposes. This history started when the first balloons were flown in Europe. In the early twentieth century it developed with the invention of biplanes and mono winged aircraft. During World War I and II there was a tremendous amount of intelligence gathered through these means. These crewmembers would use optical and photographic means to record their observations. In the Vietnam War , aerial observers also might be Forward Air Controller s FACs . These O 1 Bird Dog , O 2 Skymaster and OV 10 Bronco pilots would slowly fly over an area and direct bombing by radio to fast moving jet aircraft. Observer is the Royal Navy s term for its Fleet Air Arm navigator radar weapons system operators, both in two seat fixed wing combat aircraft such as the Sea Vixen and F 4 Phantom II F4K Phantom and anti submarine helicopters such as the Westland Lynx . The US Navy s equivalent is the radar intercept officer RIO .

As aerial cranes, helicopters carry loads connected to long cables or slings in order to place heavy equipment when other methods are not available or economically feasible, or when the job must be accomplished in remote or inaccessible areas, such as the tops of tall buildings or the top of a hill or mountain, far from the nearest road. Helicopters were first used as aerial cranes in the 1950s, but it was not until the 1960s that the popularity of the use of skycranes in the construction and other industries began to catch on.
