Jimmy Leeward and the B - AAFO
They say patience is a virtue. In the case of Jimmy Leeward and jack Roush's B model Mustang that would certainly be the case. I tried, unsuccessfully to photograph Jimmy Leeward flying jack Roush's B model Mustang when he was accomplishing the test flying at Salinas. Too many obstacles got in the way. It was unfortunate for Jim and I know he was a little bummed about the missed opportunity. Leeward put about 12-15 hours on Roush's new Mustang in order for Jack to be able to take the Mustang back to Michigan. A lot of hard work and nothing to show for it. Well, we made up for that at Oshkosh. Leeward was given the opportunity to fly Roush's Mustang for a two ship photo shoot with the other b model recently rolled out of Pacific Fighters, Idaho. ...
Tuskegee Airman Returns to Spot in France Where He Was Shot down in 1944 from Skycontrol by alain
On August 14, 1944, 22-yearold 2nd Lt Alexander Jefferson of the famed Tuskegee Airmen 332nd Fighter Group was flying his "red tail" P-51 Mustang (named Margo, after his girlfriend at the time) on his 19th combat mission over Europe. His formation's mission that day was to strafe Nazi radar units right along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in southern France in preparation for the Allied Forces invasion there two days later called "Operation Dragoon." Using his .50 caliber machine guns, Alex and the other three in his flight blasted over the target at treetop level and max airspeed. While shooting at the radar tower, Alex saw his wingman, Lt Daniels, get shot - his P-51 erupting into a ball of flames and banking right toward the Med which was only a few hundred yards away. An instant later, ground fire came through the floor of Alex's cockpit and exited through the canopy. In a matter of seconds, Alex pulled back on the Mustang's stick to gain some bailout altitude while simultaneously putting full nose-down trim in the P-51. When he released the stick, the trim nosed the craft over; and Alex was easily ejected.
Convair B-58 Hustler from Military Photos by Il-28
Quote: The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first operational jet bomber capable of Mach 2 supersonic flight. Developed for the USAF for service with SAC during the late 1950s. Intended to fly at high altitudes and speeds to avoid Soviet fighters, the introduction of the surface-to-air missile forced the B-58 into a low-level penetration role that severely limited its strategic value. ...

Hands On: Jetpack! [Jetpack Video] from Gizmodo by Mark Wilson
"Don't cover your ears, this is what you paid to see!" Glenn Martin shouts to me over the apocalyptic roar of an F22 fighter jet performing a leisurely flyby. He'd abruptly broken off a conversation with someone else just to make this point—before we'd even been introduced and hours before I flew his pack. "That's 3.15 billion of your tax dollars at work!" ...

The numbers from AirVenture from Letters from Flyover Country by Bob Collins
Here's a press release that just arrived from the EAA: Comment from EAA president Tom Poberezny: * "The concern was that 2008 would be less than a banner year, because of questions and challenges in areas such as fuel prices and the economy, but it turned out to be an overwhelming week. Each day on the grounds was filled with outstanding activities that made every day at AirVenture a unique event in itself. This year's "Oshkosh" was the shot of enthusiasm, inspiration, and economic boost that aviation needed." Attendance: Estimated 540,000 - A slight decrease from 2007 and nearly equal to 2006's attendance. ...
