The Hill Aerospace Museum of Tomorrow from The Unwanted Blog by admin
About two months ago I visited the museum and found a diorama on display showing a proposed expansion, which would bring most of the currently outdoor aircraft indoors. Some of the aircraft shown in model form are merely "hoped for" dispalys, but most of them are on-hand or in negotiations. The one problem I have with this is just how tightly packed the displays would be…. decent photography would be virtually impossible.
Still, it'd be good to get them in out of the weather. The largest of the three hangars shown here is the proposed new building; the other two are the current museum, with the current displays.

Reno Air Races 1970 Darryl Greenamyer And Conquest 1 - from Airpigz Blog by Martt Clupper
Because my dad was both an airline pilot and an airplane nut, I had a bazillion awesome opportunities when I was a kid to see some amazing things in the world of aviation. Like the 1970 Reno Air Races where a record 60,000 people attended!
If you didn't know better, it would be easy to think the airplane in the picture is just another everyday F-8 Bearcat racer with a really big prop. Well, it's a whole lot more than that! This is the fastest piston engine airplane in the world in 1970! Darryl Greenamyer flew the big white Conquest 1 to a record setting speed of 483.041mph on August 16, 1969. ...

Movie from the cockpit of Wright Brothers aircraft (apparently) from Unusual Attitude by Kieran Daly
Wouldn't it be cool to see what it was like flying one of the Wright Brothers' aircraft - you know, if they had mounted a movie camera on it to see the pilot's eye view? Would never have happened of course.
Except it seems, to my astonishment, that it did. In Italy, in 1909. And here's the movie. Or so it seems. This is real, right???

Monitoring one BIG baby from AOPA Pilot Blog: Reporting Points by Tom Haines
A blimp is like a child that never grows up. From the day its 200,000 cubic foot envelope is inflated, a Goodyear blimp is monitored 24/7–never left alone. I visited the Goodyear Spirit of Innovation today at its gigantic hangar on the airport at Pompano Beach Airport in Florida. The 200-foot blimp looks almost like a toy inside the enormous span. I'm told they can actually fit two of the blimps inside, although it must surely be tight. You can easily read the big Goodyear on the side of the hangar from space! Check out the satellite view from Google; switch to satellite view, search on "Pompano Beach Airpark, FL" and zoom: http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8 [more]
LoPresti First Saturday to benefit Boy Scouts, feature film "A Pilot's Story" - from www.generalaviationnews.com
LoPresti Aviation will hold its March First Saturday event in the LoPresti hangar on the north ramp of the Vero Beach airport on March 7, starting at 9 am. LoPresti First Saturday is about connecting aviation to modern America, said David LoPresti. The event will feature Wilco Films' "A Pilot's Story."
"When I saw the trailer for A Pilot's Story I immediately thought that these guys would be great as First Saturday speakers. The tone of this film matches our First Saturday events, connecting aviation and airports to our local community. The imagery of the film was great and after meeting Will Hawkins and Rico Sharqawi on I just knew that these guys could tell a great story," LoPresti said.
