Biggin Hill Airshow - or not -28th June 2009 from PPRuNe Forums by Tempsford
3 1/2 hours after leaving home (left at 09:30 to be there in good time), close to saying forget it and come home, I arrived at Biggin Hill Airshow today. Had pre-paid taickets with 'A' Car Park Pass. Never saw a sign for 'A' Car Park and was told 'look just park there mate'. #3 Son had to buy a ticket. Hundreds of people coming in at this particular gate - 3 people selling tickets- 1 with a Credit Card Machine. Absolute mayhem!
Made our way to the display line - absolutely chock a block. Nowhere to stand let alone sit.
Then was told that the gates had shut - probably leaving a loy of very hacked off people outside.
Then it got even better, we already knew that the B17 was u/s, but we were then informed so was the Lacaster and surprise surprise, the Vulcan. Watch the mini migration home when some folks heard that the Vulcan was a no show. And yes, I do know that aerplanes go u/s.
Was there a positive at all today? Yes, one. The Virgin B747 in formation with the Arrows, that was it. Well done to the folk involved with that.
Over 30 years of airshows, been to Biggin many times before. By far the worst air show I have ever been to and probably won't bother with Biggin again, ever!

ND WWII vets share stories for documentary - Air Force News
... The documentary opens with Jack Bazer, a waist gunner on a bomber, describing a battle in which he was shot in the chest by a German fighter. The film includes William Faulkner, who showed up for the interview in military dress, having just come from honoring a fellow veteran at a funeral. It includes the memories of Christian Stenberg, a mild-mannered Norwegian farmer who saw a year of straight combat, and Barney Bertinuson's emotional stories as a medic in New Guinea, Shimek said he is most nervous about how veterans and their families will receive the film because of the personal nature of some of the stories.
"They had to see horrible things, and now they are 86 years old and they still haven't forgotten them. What we have asked of them is really incredible," Shimek said. ...

Missing Apollo 11 telemetry and video tapes - FOUND! from DailyAviator by Dennis Collins
They were found in a storage warehouse in Perth Australia, after being recorded at the NASA facility in Parks Australia (you should see the movie about this called "The Dish" - it's funny and tells a bit of real history about the event). The people in the cab of the telemetry dish portrayed in the movie were the only people to have ever seen the original, uncompressed, video images. I would surmise that the tapes sent to the US and subsequently lost were copies of this original....

Blue Angels Cockpit Cam from Technorati
[YouTube - Link ] I have always had a fascination with planes and fighter jets ever since my Dad used to take the family and I to the Dubai Airshow when I was really young where we got to watch some of the craziest and most talented pilots showing off their stuff. I remember once seeing the Blue Angels on display and they blew me away! Still to this day their stuff is top notch and gives me thrills to see them fly. Lucky for us we get to see the view from one of their cockpits as they p ...
