Airlington Airshow and Fly-In from Technorati Search for: Airshow
Julia and I both took the day off of work yesterday to attend the Arlington Airshow and Fly-In. It's the third largest in the United States (after Oshkosh and Lakeland). Aircraft attendance seemed down a bit this year from years past, maybe due to the frightening cost of 100LL. We like to go on Friday to avoid the mobs of people there on the weekends. One of the prettiest planes there was the 1946 Globe Swift in the picture above. I can't even imagine the amount of elbow grease that went...

Fairford Air Show Rained Off from Technorati Search for: Airshow
The 2008 Fairford Royal International Air Tattoo has effectively bought the farm due to the weather. For the first time in 38 years, the weather has been below safe minima for display performances so only ground exhibits were viewable by the attending public. The RIAT would have seen the display of Avro Vulcan XH558, recently restored to flying condition. Vulcan fans will now have to look for other flying displays at which to see the Vulcan in action.

Farnborough Airshow from Technorati Search for: Airshow
International air shows, with their flashy aerial displays and throngs of onlookers, are a time-honored venue for airlines and aircraft makers to announce lucrative new orders. But the big question at this year's Farnborough Airshow, which opens July 14 near London, isn't how many new planes will be sold—it's whether airlines are really going to buy the ones they've already ordered. The airline industry is in crisis, battered by record-high fuel prices and economic malaise ...

Pitts S-2S Makes its Twentieth Flight! from Technorati Search for: Airshow
I've been flying my giant Pitts S-2S for some time now, and I've now put twenty flights on it. I'm still getting everything fine tuned and think it's still very slightly nose heavy. Despite this small issue, it's already capable of a very clean looking inverted flat spin. The first time I performed a flat spin in my practice routine there were quite a few spectators in the bleachers. I actually heard a few audible gasps coming from the crowd. Of course, I had the smoke system turned on. The sm...
