Idaho air museum celebrates 20 years from Air Force Times - News
NAMPA, Idaho — In the hands of John and Sue Paul, the World War II fighter plane has spawned a massive Nampa museum and scored screen time alongside Ben Affleck and Tom Cruise.
I was sad to hear that the P-82 Twin-Mustang with the CAF has now started to be dismantled for trucking back to the arms of the USAFM. Pity considering that the CAF did a lot of work on this aircraft but to no avail. If I have my facts right, is this the same aircraft that the CAF wanted to 'trade' for a P-38 Lightning with the P-82 ? Is that way the USAFM put the block on the deal ? If the CAF was thinking that the aircraft belonged to them and were only acting with that in mind, why when the aircraft was either given or loaned, did the USAFM not make this plane and simple to the CAF that they could not trade it or sell it. I have never seen one of these aircraft yet, and would have loved to seen and heard this 'bird' flying at a CAF show.

Hilary Swank stars as Amelia Earhart from You Fly, Girl by Cathy Gale
I've been doing some research on Amelia Earhart lately, and just now came across the fact that a movie has been made of her, to be released in 2009, presumably. It's currently in post-production.
... Will be interesting to see how the movie unfolds. Amelia Earhart was 23 before she started flying, and never wanted to get married. George Putnam was divorced by his wife (who got remarried about a month later), and married Amelia. It was a marriage of convenience - Amelia sends a letter to him pointing out that she doesn't expect him to be exclusive to her, or she to him - he is just going to promotoe her flying career. ...

In search of pie from The PapaGolf Chronicles by DaveG
... As we were headed out to the end or runway 2 for our departure back to Bolton, we counted no fewer than five deer on the inside of the "wildlife control" fence, thus confusing me as to what exactly it is that the fence is supposed to accomplish. All five were far enough away from the runway and ostensibly concerned enough with their own well-being to give the runway a wide berth, though, so they weren't really a factor. As we departed from the airport, I saw a huge-ish cloud of smoke off to the east. Eric was flying at that point, so I had him fly us over for a closer look. As he was flying the plane quite ably enough for me to be comfortable with a momentary distraction, I grabbed the camera and took some pictures. ...
Lawmakers Oppose LASP on Multiple Fronts from AviationBull - Where pilots go to shoot the bull... by Jason
If the TSA had its way this year, all aircraft weighing more than 12,500 pounds would be subjected to airline-level security measures, regardless of how or by whom they are operated, under a proposed rule called the Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP.) Thankfully, it seems that most of congress realizes that this rule is at best extremely flawed. As reported by the AOPA, the House aviation subcommittee sat down with TSA reps and expressed their myriad of concerns with the proposed rule. The meeting generated at least one priceless quote when Rep. Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich.) said, "This is a prime example of a stupid rule...simply put, the threat does not warrant this level of regulation." Thankfully, the aviation subcommittee isn't alone in their opinions. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security sent a letter to the TSA expressing several important concerns in a very concise manner. AOPA has posted an article summarizing his comments. It seems like dark times for aviation right now with user fees and programs like LASP looming. I'm glad to see that our representatives are seeing through some of the hype and clinging to reason. I hope they hold to that and shoot down these bad ideas before the ideas shoot down GA in America.

NASA's Orion heat shield decision expected this month from Flight Image of the Day by Barbara Cockburn
One of the greatest engineering challenges in spaceflight is to protect a spacecraft from the searing heat of re-entry, as the fate of the Space Shuttle Columbia so tragically illustrated.
