R.I.P Lorna deBlicquy from PPRuNe Forums by Rockhound
Sadly, Lorna deBlicquy died on March 21 at the age of 77 in Beaverton, ON. Besides becoming the country's first female civil aviation inspector, she broke many other gender-dependent barriers in Canadian aviation during an illustrious career. Also, I am reliably informed that she was the first woman (of any nationality) to reach the North Pole.

Fun at the Air Show from Technorati
Ollie, Alex and I had a blue whale of a time at the Air Show, and Ollie even got his photo on the local news website . He loved being able to sit at the controls of two or three planes, and one helicopter. The C-17 was nutty. Whether it be a huge bridge , or a flying behemoth , I'm a complete sucker for large-scale engineering. I love me a good P-51 Mustang too. The low-level 900kph fly-by always sends a chill up my spine. I missed seeing the RAAF F-18 in person, but the view from my deck

Sailplanes - Getting "Launched" from Let's Go Flying by BillD
We have seen that gliders, once airborne, can fly high and far remain in the air for long periods. Pure gliders lack a power source to get them in the air. So, how is this done?
Some gliders have "self launch" capabilities with retractable engines and propellers representing the expensive, complicated high end of the sport. "Motorgliders" provide the convenience of independent operation. To me, the low cost and simplicity of pure gliders has a special attraction. ...
