Blimps on the Move for Sporting Events from Alabama Aviator - Aviation News
MOBILE- Last Tuesday a blimp stopped in for gas at Mobile Brookley Field. With the bowl game season approaching, more blimps will be moving into position. One main purpose of the blimp at events like football games is to capture live aerial footage. Another is providing high-profile visibility for whatever company pays to have its name on the side - in this case, Outback, according to the Mobile Register. The complex makes an ideal stopover for blimps because of a wide-open, 20-acre field adjacent to Mobile Aerospace Engineering, said Adam Creatore, crew chief with Tampa-based High Degree Operations Corp., which flies the Outback blimp, according to the Register. ...

Run Away! from Technorati
It's Friday here. When you have been around aircraft for a while you have the common sense to stay away from the back of them when they are powering up. Lesson learned. The B-1 is famous for doing a few rolls at airshow displays. This video is pretty good. Enjoy. Hat tip: ATFS Crash

A question for performers and their thoughts from www.airshowbuzz.com
... After she was done flying my wife said; "Wouldn't you love to be up their doing that?" A statement which I had made or at least thought everytime I watched an airshow aircraft perform and I would always think: man that would be awesome to be up there doing that. But for some reason this time a different thought entered my head and I answered her question with: "No." She gave me a surprised look and said; "Why not?" Well I'm going to explain my answer and I want to know if anyone else can identify with what I'm saying. I told her that if I were "up there" doing that I would not be able to enjoy the beauty of it from the ground and truly appreciate it or get pictures of it. ...

"AND THERE I WAS..." from www.aafo.comEven before Man invented & learned to fly heavier-than-air vehicles, he used his hands to describe the aerial maneuvers of birds & other creatures of flight. Ever since humans took to the skies themselves, all aviators naturally use hand gesturing to communicate about their flying experiences & as a simple tool for flight instruction. ...
