Fly with the brothers from AOPA Pilot Blog: Reporting Points by Ian Twombly
The footage below is certainly something I've never seen, and I would venture to say 99 percent of other pilots haven't either. It dates back to 1909 when the Wright brothers did a demonstration in Italy. And while the Wrights had done this type of thing before in front of video cameras, the hosting Web site claims it's the first ever on-board aerial footage, and it's cool!
More than anything, I was struck at the pitch instability the aircraft possessed. Something tells me I would have been a goner had I flown that thing. ...

Dago Red in wrecked condtion before being rebuilt - from www.aafo.com
On their website, there is a picture of Dago Red after it had crashed in 1970 and before it was rebuilt as Dago Red. Hard to believe it would be repaired in the condition it was in after being wrecked. Look at the chains that are being used to hold it down to the trailer. Those same chain tie downs are used to hold down wrecked/destroyed cars as they are being driven on flatbed trucks to the scrap metal yard. ...
Dago Red to Appear in Indianapolis - Indy TransponderSpeckled Trout reeled in to new home from Air Force Link Top Stories

Gatow Air Museum, Germany. from avimuseumzone by WireFox
If your in Berlin, say for the ILA or visiting. Think about another aviation museum just on the outskirts of the City, in the form of the German Air Force Museum at Gatow. Once pre-war the opposite version of RAF Collage Cranwell, Gatow was the place for up and coming German 'Aces' in that, here is where they ended up. Gatow has however seen H.P Hastings, Tempests and many other types over the years, use this once busy airfield. Now home to the museum there, it once again becomes alive. I and Herbert Watson of Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust, went there during our visit to the 2008 ILA. They have more or less everything 'Cold War' to see. Along with Me 163, 109, Fokker D7 right through to the Fulcrum. Free admission again at this museum, although they are pleased to except donation money from visitors, as it all helps keeping this fine, clean and tidy well stocked museum going. ...
