RedBull Air Racing is Coming to San Diego - The Aviation Weblog
The Red Bull Air Race World Series is coming to San Diego this weekend. These guys got big brass ones, but they better not take them to Florida. If you've never seen them fly, you will be in awe. The planes they fly are the fastest, lightest and most agile planes made, and the pilots run them upwards of 250 miles per hour as the pull close to 10 Gs as they navigate them around a course of air-filled pylons.

Big Time For Aviation History in Berlin This Year - Ares
Well it's an historic time in Berlin for aviation in more ways than one. The 60th Anniversary of the Berlin Airlift will be celebrated in June. I was there for the 30th anniversary as a USAF Reserve pilot flying a C-5 in for static display at Templehof airport, a facility built before World War II.
