Weekly Update - 20June to 25June from CAF Minnesota Wing Blog
Good Day Everyone! This weeks Blog is going to be a little different. As I was not present over the weekend or the majority of the day Wednesday all of my information is second hand. A big Thank You to all who kept me in the loop! The B-25 should be on her way to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. That will be a one-day flyover scenario, and the hope is for Miss Mitchell to return Friday. The PT-22 Engine is installed, all it's peripherals are mounted and we are looking forward to an engine run soon. The P-51 still maintains its forward progress, with a goal of attending Oshkosh in a month (we need volunteers for that!). At the hangar, the forklifts were finished off... both should be in good working order... that will be confirmed Saturday. The cleaning of the hangar is really starting to make a difference... It's looking good everyone! The Dehmel is coming along, with help from numerous sources. The hanging flag has been stabilized also so it doesn't flip over on itself in the wind. Let me know if I've missed anything of importance everyone!!! Pictures to follow.
If it didn't land in your inbox, here's the latest news from the Collings Foundation!

Air Traffic Tracker Watches 16,000 Flights on a 46-Foot Screen in Real Time [Design] from Gizmodo by Dan Nosowitz
Whoa. Lufthansa German Airlines teamed up with the whiteVOID design team to create this absolutely bonkers 46-foot-wide screen that tracks over 16,000 simultaneous flights. In real time, with sound, and in 3D. We repeat, whoa.
Since our knowledge of air traffic control comes exclusively from amiable John Cusack vehicle Pushing Tin, we knew we were a little out of date on the tech involved. But this goes way beyond anything we could have expected: It's like a gorgeous, 3D version of Google Earth, only on that excessive 46-foot screen. You can zoom in and out (even as far as a view of the entire planet in the distance), pan around, and see the paths of the plane flights in several different views. Check out the video below for a better look at the system. [whiteVOID via DVICE]
