Airshow from Technorati
We went to the Boulder airport open house this morning and wow! It was great. We saw this kit plane (that's right you build it from a kit) isn't is cute?

XH558 meets XM655 at Wellesbourne today from PPRuNe Forums by XV105
Being a local resident, today I toddled down to Wellesbourne Airfield for the annual Wings and Wheels event. The disappointment that suspected problems with local resident XM655's Olympus powerplants ruled out the usual high speed run, nosewheel in the air, was more than compensated for by XH558 making a flypast en-route home from an event in the Netherlands.
Not something you see every day, two Vulcans together, let alone both with all engines turning....
World War II veteran selected for Honor Flight - Oshkosh Northwestern
The 87-year-old Hanusa, a veteran of World War II, has been selected for the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight on Saturday to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials dedicated to honor the sacrifices of those who served.
Among the sites is the World War II Memorial, which Hanusa, who served in the China/ Burma/India Theater, said he's looking forward to seeing.
"The World War II Memorial is the main thing. It will be worthwhile to see the memorial up close," Hanusa said.
Hanusa, who grew up on a farm near Black River Falls, said he was in the U.S. Army and was glad to have served during World War II.
"I saw a lot of country," he said.
Hanusa's daughter, Linda Mitten, said she submitted an application about a year ago for her father to participate in the Honor Flight. ...
The Guy in the Red Airplane from Airspeed by Stephen Force (Steve Tupper)
As Airspeed steams into its fourth airshow season, I'm in top gear heading out to shows and having some of the coolest experiences available below Class Alpha airspace. And I just had a day-long experience up in the Alpha on a KC-135R Stratotanker, too. More on that soon. I don't think that anyone could say that I've spared much effort in chasing edges of the aviation envelope so far this year.
I can't remember who said that life is what happens while you're making other plans. But he was right. And I had an experience with that very thing not long ago. I was going to hold off on this episode until I got more of the Indianapolis Air Show content out, but I heard something on a recent episode of Uncontrolled Airspace that made me want to pull this one forward. ...

White House Panel Considers New Paths To Space from Slashdot by kdawson
Neil H. writes "The White House's Human Space Flight Plans blue-ribbon panel (the 'Augustine panel') has posted the material from their first public meeting on the future of NASA's spaceflight program, which was held on Wednesday. NASA officials presented their Ares I rocket plans and their belief that they can work around its design flaws, with projected development costs ballooning to $35 billion. The panel also heard several alternative proposals, such as adapting already-existing EELV and SpaceX rockets to carry crew to orbit; these proposals would have better safety margins than the Ares I, be ready sooner, and cost NASA less than $2 billion to complete, but are politically unattractive."
