Australian International Airshow - Avalon, Melbourne, 2009 from Military Photos by sickened
Hi there - I spent the last week at Photographing the AIA Airshow in Avalon. I will post a bunch of photos here... Hope you like them. This was the last year that the RAAF F-111 will be displayed as it is due to be retired next year. Its is being replaced by the F/A-18E-F Super Hornet until the JSF comes online in 2015... There is much controversy as to whether the JSF will be able to rplace the capabilities of the F-111... I for one will miss her :( She is a great aeroplane to watch!

To fly with Wilbur Wright By Tom Norton
General Aviation News reader Ken Rapier, who runs the Tuskegee Airmen Young Eagles program in Chicago, sent a link to a fascinating film clip from Austrian archives. It shows Wilbur Wright demonstrating a Wright brothers aeroplane in Italy in 1909. The Wrights went to Europe because there was little interest in their invention in the United States. Typically for that era of innovation, there was a motion picture camera aboard the Wright plane, as the last minute or so of the film shows. Wilbur Wright is at the controls for the flights. You can enlarge it to full screen and there are links to information about the film.

Transition Roadable Aircraft Flies from AVwebBiz Current Issue
The Terrafugia Transition, the "roadable aircraft" that's attracted considerable attention at aviation shows in the last year, flew for the first time on March 5 at Plattsburgh, N.Y., and its makers say they've changed aviation as a result. "This breakthrough changes the world of personal mobility. Travel now becomes a hassle-free integrated land-air experience. It's what aviation enthusiasts have been striving for since 1918," said Carl Dietrich, CEO of Terrafugia. While most "flying car" concepts to date have incorporated detachable or trailerable wings, the Transition has electromechanical folding wings that convert the vehicle in 30 seconds. The company says production models will meet Light Sport specifications and be street legal.
