Geneseo 2008 Originally uploaded by airshowblogger
The 2008 Geneseo air show was one of the best air show experiences I’ve ever had, as far as flying went. I drove about 6hrs to be there and it was well worth the time and gas money — which in this day is saying a lot! This year, the folks at the Historical Aircraft Group (HAG) tried to wrangle in a large gathering of P-40 Warhawks. I really like it when an air show puts a concentrated effort on a specific type of plane, because it means I’m more likely to see planes that I haven’t before. Sure, I’ve seen P-40s fly, but there were 2 there that I’d never even seen!

Fence Check Reno Pylon Racing School published
Following the loss of three experienced race pilots and one serious injury at the 2007 Reno Air Races, this year’s Pylon Racing Seminar (PRS) at Reno-Stead airfield had an extra emphasis on safety. During the 2008 seminar, held from June 18 to 21, participants and organizers drew lessons from last year’s mistakes and worked together to make this year's races the safest they can be.The Pylon Racing Seminar helps train new race pilots and gives veterans a chance to refresh their racing skills. It also lets the pilots preview changes to the race course. As an example, pylons two and three have been moved about 30 feet inwards this year, to help make the course safer by softening the turn from the home pylon and reducing the chance of crossing the east dead line.

Supposed WWII skeleton found dangling above Kokoda Track from Military Photos by Wally1967
Australian, US and Japanese authorities are investigating the discovery of what is thought to be the skeleton of a World War II pilot along the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea.Hikers say they discovered the skeleton hanging from the jungle canopy halfway along the 96-kilometre historic World War II path. Guide David Collins from Melbourne's No-Roads trekking company was there. "It's swinging like somebody caught in a tree and that's when you can really see the cabling and it's the exact shape of a body, same size, everything, but it's just covered in moss," he said. "It's exactly what it looks like, just somebody caught in a harness, in a seat harness." Australian, US and Japanese authorities will check records to see if any pilots were reported missing in that area. 'Lost in the fog'

The doors covering the three-bearing swivelling nozzle are the first to be opened in flight (the nozzle was not deployed).

"Wings Over Wine Country" Air Show Huge Success
The Pacific Coast Air Museum's annual "Wings Over Wine Country" Air Show, held August 16-17, 2008, at the Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa, CA, was a huge success.
Over 20,000 people visited the two day show, and were treated to the F-18 in transonic flight showing a huge shock wave, as well as the historic Lockheed P-38 Lightning and the U.S. Air Force's newest airlifter aircraft, the C-17 Globemaster III. Also highlighting this year's show and thrilling the crowd were Kent Pietsch doing his comedy act, deadstick routine and landing on top of a truck. Jacquie Warda was outstanding in her Pitts, as was Paul Lopez flying his MX-2. The Misty Blues all-female parachute team opened the show each day jumping with an American flag and jumping again later in the show. A large showing of warbirds thrilled the crowd as P-51 Mustangs, a P-40 Warhawk, a Hawker Sea Fury, T-6s and an F-4F brought back memories of aircraft that helped win WWII. The 2009 "Wings Over Wine Country" Air Show will take place August 15 & 16, 2009.
