Reds Display Today from PPRuNe Forums by barnstormer1968
I was working at the Bristol balloon fiesta today, and would like to say the highlight of the show today was the display by the Red Arrows. I have seen many Reds displays over several years, and this one was a far better routine than I have seen before. The moves seemed very modern with only the diamond nine seeming to be familiar from the past. The display was also enhanced as the aircraft were directly over the heads of the crowd (as there was no runway to offset from, and also a very scattered crowd). Not only this, but off to one side of the fiesta were a line of hills which made it even more impressive for the display to be carried out at as low a level as some of the moves were:ok:All of the other team members I was working with were also very impressed, as were the vast majority of the crowd (many of whom left the event just after the display)Thanks for brightening my day:) Barnstormer1968

Fly History To Offer Warbird Club(like) Flying from AVwebFlash Current Issue
A new program just launched by Fly History LLC is designed to give pilots the ability to train, qualify and then have solo flying-club-like access to T-6 Texan, T-34 Mentor and PT-17 aircraft. The company is currently filling slots for 20 charter members at each of six locations, nationwide. The fees paid by members will vary by location -- Fly History is currently setting up shop in Boston, Westchester (N.Y.), Dallas, Los Angeles, Orlando, and Atlanta. As an example, Boston will require dues of $1380 per month plus $165 per hour dry for all aircraft but the T6, which goes for $275 per hour, dry. Charter members will lay out the full year's dues in advance to be held in escrow (refundable) until 20 positions are filled at their location and the aircraft are on the flight line. Training requirements have been worked out with an insurer and there are minimum total time requirements for applicants, beginning at 500 hours for T-34 pilot aspirants and topping off at 1000 hours for AT-6 aspirants. Those who want to fly the PT-17 need a tailwheel endorsement plus 300 PT-17 landings (although lower limits may apply for experienced tailwheel drivers). ... And the Stearman aircraft will be rotated to Fly History's warmer locations as winter closes in.
