Showdown: Air Combat Only on the Military Channel Join Major Paul "Max" Moga in the skies on Sunday nights at 10 p.m. - The Military Channel takes you on an aerial journey with a world premiere series. Tune in and see recreations of history’s most compelling dogfights with the restored aircraft from every era of aerial warfare flying against each other. U.S. Air Force Major Paul “Max” Moga of the Air Combat Command’s 1st Fighter Wing hosts the series and offers amazing insight into each aircraft’s strengths and weaknesses, its place in the evolutionary timeline of aircraft design innovation and the ground-breaking dogfighting tactics employed in each confrontation. From a chase plane, Major Moga provides play-by-play commentary of the fast-paced action as you fly alongside these historic warbirds. But the show is not just a celebration of the aircraft’s technical glory, Major Moga also introduces you to the extraordinary pilots who flew these planes on their original missions.

Virgin Galactic Presence Promised For Oshkosh from AVwebFlash Current Issue
When the gigantic WhiteKnightTwo spaceship-hauling airplane rolls out of the hangar in Mojave on July 28 -- the opening day of EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. -- the event will have "real-time ties... back to Oshkosh," EAA President Tom Poberezny promised this week. "We've been in regular communications with our friends at Virgin Galactic and its partner organization, Scaled Composites, to coordinate." The next day, July 29, designer Burt Rutan will arrive at AirVenture along with Virgin Group owner Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic President Will Whitehorn, where they will host a forum and interact with visitors. While WhiteKnightTwo would seem the perfect vehicle for them to arrive in, Whitehorn told Space.com the ship won't start flight tests before September. No public glimpse of SpaceShipTwo is expected before early 2009, he said.
