R2B: Return to Base (Korean: 알투비: 리턴투베이스; RR: Altubi: Riteontu Be-iseu) is a 2012 South Korean aviation action drama film loosely based on the 1986 film Top Gun. The film stars Rain, Shin Se-kyung and Yoo Jun-sang in lead roles. It was directed by Kim Dong-won and is a remake of Shin Sang-ok's 1964 film Red Scarf.[1][2] It is about a talented, yet troublemaking, elite air force pilot who is demoted to a combat flying unit.[3][4][5] It was released on 15 August 2012. The Republic of Korea Air Force was heavily involved in the film's production.[citation needed]
When a Korean People's Air Force MiG-29 crosses the Korean Demilitarized Zone in an attempt to defect, the 21st sorties to escort it. Suddenly, a second KPAF MiG-29 intercepts the escort, shoots the defector down, and flies toward Seoul. The 21st attempts to engage, but is told that the rules of engagement prohibit engagements over populated areas and is forced to allow it to attack Seoul, causing catastrophic destruction and numerous casualties. Tae-yoon and Dae-suh pursue the MiG as it returns to North Korean airspace, but it attacks and cripples Dae-suh's plane. Noticing civilians below, Dae-suh ejects Ji Seok-hyun, his weapon systems officer, to safety and maneuvers his plane out of the civilians' way, but his ejection seat fails and he crashes into a mountain, killing him. Still unable to engage the MiG, Tae-yoon is forced to turn back, allowing it to escape.
Back at the airbase, the 21st is informed that a North Korean battalion led by General Kang Sang Yeol has gone rogue, seizing a nuclear silo with the intent of firing a ballistic missile at the United States. An American officer with United States Forces Korea informs the ROKAF that they have prepared a B-2 Spirit for a preemptive strike, which would reignite the Korean conflict. Because the U.S. refuses to rescue Seok-hyun, the ROKAF and the Ministry of National Defense secretly launch their own rescue mission, assigning only a T-50 and an F-15K to avoid attention. When the U.S learned of the Operations, they orderded the ROKAF and the Ministry of National Defense to ask their troops to stand down but they rejected.
The mission is launched, and Seok-hyun is rescued by South Korean pararescue troops. After destroying the rogue battalion's base, the 21st is confronted by the MiG-29 from earlier, and they battle. During the dogfight, the MiG-29 stalls, allowing Tae-yoon to shoot it down. The T-50 is lost while trying to evade a SAM, but the pilot survives. The mission is a success, and the B-2 strike is called off. At the end, Tae-yoon gives his respects to his fallen comrade.[7]

Eligible projects include: feature films; television films, pilots or series; televised specials; televised commercials; and music videos that are distributed outside of Georgia. The $500,000 annual minimum expenditure threshold can be met with one project or the total of multiple projects aggregated in a single tax year.

If the project does not begin filming within thirty (30) days of the date of the certification letter, amendments to the application must be made in writing to GDEcD.
Bronchial atresia and anomalous superior pulmonary venous return into the left brachiocephalic vein are unusual anomalies. We present a young asymptomatic man in whom these two distinct anomalies were co-existingly found on routine medical examination. Patient was diagnosed as a case of congenital bronchial atresia with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return based on the evidence of special features on X-ray chest film, characteristic contrast enhanced 16-slice CT chest findings, lack of symptoms and no change on fallow-up X-ray chest films.
Corporations may also have to pay a net worth tax. This tax is based on the net worth of a corporation, levied in exchange for the privilege of doing business or exercising a corporate franchise in Georgia. For net worth years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 (those reported on the 2017 income tax return), corporations with a net worth of $100,000 or less are not subject to tax but must file a return. The maximum is $5,000 for a net worth in excess of $22 million. All corporations doing business in Georgia for the first time must file an initial net worth return on or before the fifteenth day of the third calendar month after incorporation or qualification in the state (for C corporations, 15th day of the fourth month for net worth years beginning on or after January 1, 2017; those reported on the 2016 income tax return).
In 1956, Maria, Johannes, Rosmarie, and daughter Maria went to New Guinea to do missionary work. Later, Maria ran the Trapp Family Lodge for many years. Of the children, Rupert was a medical doctor; Agathe was kindergarten teacher in Maryland; Maria was a missionary in New Guinea for 30 years; Werner was a farmer; Hedwig taught music; Johanna married and eventually returned to live in Austria; Martina married and died in childbirth; Rosmarie and Eleonore both settled in Vermont; and Johannes managed the Trapp Family Lodge. Maria died in 1987 and was buried alongside Georg and Martina.
The von Trapps never saw much of the huge profits The Sound of Music made. Maria sold the film rights to German producers and inadvertently signed away her rights in the process. The resulting films, Die Trapp-Familie (1956), and a sequel, Die Trapp-Familie in Amerika (1958), were quite successful. The American rights were bought from the German producers. The family had very little input in either the play or the movie The Sound of Music. As a courtesy, the producers of the play listened to some of Maria's suggestions, but no substantive contributions were accepted.
