ANN has received a number of strongly worded reports about FAA conduct at a charitable aviation event, Saturday, in Birmingham, AL. To be perfectly honest, such strongly worded reports tend to put us off a little... since they're so one-sided and tend to be pretty emotional. Oft times, that means that someone has an axe to grind... though, some times upon investigation, that axe deserves to be at the ready. This appears to be one of those times. ...

Leonardo da Vinci, who was never a licensed pilot that we know of, somehow understood the magic of flying. He said, "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." How da Vinci could so clearly represent the feeling of most pilots today and knew about the exhilaration of flight will probably remain a mystery. Fortunately, the 21st century is about to see the boundaries of flying and thinking about flying interconnect in a new feature film titled: "A Pilot's Story." You've might have seen a movie press release in last month's Atlantic Flyer touting the film's schedule for release in early 2010. Digging a little deeper into the movie, understanding its creative ideas, its producer and director, its advisory board, how personal pilot stories are covered suggested more coverage. "A Pilot's Story" looks like it will become one of a few great flying movies that connect the passion of flying with anyone who has flown or thought they wanted to fly. ...

It's Boeing's latest artist's conception of the U.S. Navy's proposed F/A-XX replacement for the F/A-18E/F, notionally needed on carrier decks around 2025. It's described as "6th generation", but quite what that means I'm not sure - expect that it's tailless for all-aspect broadband stealth, like that other F/A-XX candidate, Northrop Grumman's N-UCAS.
