Indianapolis Air Show Coverage
When Steve Haase carted his 90,000 cubic foot hot-air balloon from Danville, Ill. to the Indian-apolis air show last weekend, it wasn't in hopes of making money.
Haase was among 14 pilots to donate his time for the third annual balloon-a-thon, which gave riders a bird's-eye view of Hancock County in exchange for a $250 donation to Riley Hospital for Children.

The Cross-Border Classic: Red Bull Air Race Windsor Preview from Bleacher Report
Windsor, Ontario is the southernmost city in all of Canada. However, it tends to be dwarfed by its much larger American cousin: Detroit.
However, the tide will shift for one weekend as the aviation and motorsport community focus their attention on to Windsor as it plays host to the third round of the Red Bull Air Race World Series.
The first race in Canada also has the first Canadian pilot: rookie Pete McLeod whose base is a two hour drive Northeast in London, Ontario. This is quite literally his home race.

Evan flies - TDR-1 Americas Secret Cruise Missile from evanflys.com
During WWII, the United States did some top secret work. One of the best kept secrets was the use of radio controlled guided bombs. You may have heard of "Project Aphrodite" where they filled up an old B-17 with explosives and it was "guided" to its target. This was where JFK's brother, Joe, died.
Well, the US Navy also had a guided bomb project and it used television!
The US Navy used these TV guided drones as guided bombs in the Pacific. They were called TDR-1's and were made out of wood by the Interstate Aircraft Company. The Wurlitzer Musical Instrument Company and the Schwinn Bicycle Company were subcontractors! The TV's were developed by RCA.
