Hawk One - Centennial Flight by carlykb
The history of the North American F-86 Sabre (and its variants like the Canadair Sabre models) is closely tied to the beginnings of the Cold War and famously with the Korean War battles with Russian MiGs. The Sabre, a swept wing, single seat air superiority fighter is long recognized as one of the finest fighter aircraft of all time and the Sabre 5 and Sabre 6 models built by Canadair at their Montreal plant are considered the most capable of all Sabres. Of the more than 9,500 Sabres constructed worldwide, more than 1,800 were built in Canada in six different variants. ...
Air Shows from Technorati
There used to be an airshow in Kalamazoo. It was held at the local airport and usually there was a jet team. Since at the time I lived about 3 miles from the airport, I went every year. For a variety of reasons, they had to stop having an airshow and I hadn't been to one since. We decided to head up to Traverse City this year for the Cherry Festival. One of the benefits was the air show that happens as part of the Festival. The performances are over the bay and it's easy to see from prett

The annual Lowestoft event, which is taking place on July 23 and 24, is unusual because of the way it is funded and the huge involvement of local charity and community groups who volunteer as collectors and stewards.

Will Hawkins (director of the film) and I met with Kevin upon our arrival to lakeland, FL for Sun 'n Fun.

This was both Will and my first ride in a hot air balloon. ...
Movie Monday - July 6 - Dogfights of the Future from FlightBlogger
Movie Monday is back and I was feeling inspired by my visit to the Air & Space Museum yesterday to provide another episode of Dogfights. This episode focuses on the "Dogfights of the Future" looking at new fifth generation platforms like the F-22 and F-35. In addition the show takes some creative liberties with the Su-47 or what may eventually be the Sukhoi PAK FA stealth fighter. The program gets even more creative with its view of Scramjet and space warfare, but it's interesting nonetheless. The full program is available in nine parts total after the break.
Also, if you find great aviation videos online, feel free to pass them my way. I try to make sure Movie Monday runs between 20 to 60 minutes, and that's really the only criteria along with the fact that they are embeddable.

Harry C Block JR from IndyAeroClub.org
... Harry C. Block Jr. Harry was born in Indianapolis, IN on November 10, 1916 to Mabel S. and Harry C. Block, Sr. who preceded him in death. He peacefully passed away on Saturday, July 4th, surrounded by his wife of 51 years, Tirzah Blackard Block, his daughter, Barbara Austin, his loving son-in-law Jim Austin, and granddaughters, Lexi and Claire. Harry, known as Harry Jr, HCB, Brud, Daddy, Dad and Papa, had lived many chapters in his life. He grew up primarily in Indianapolis, but enjoyed time in Pittsburgh (Squirrel Hill he'd tell you), Culver Military Academy, Miami Beach (he always debated as to whether he should have accepted the journalist job with the Miami Herald), and back to Indianapolis, where he remained a lifelong resident. He was a veteran of WWII. His life was enriched by family, friends, and acquaintances from his youth, the Culver years, Block's department store, Block's Bicycle Shop, years of collecting aviation history, Indy Aero Club, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and his church. He lived his life with passion, commitment and devotion to the people and activities that he enjoyed. ...

Precision Aerobatics with the AeroShell Team from Let's Go Flying by Steve Tupper
Ah, this summer gets better and better! First the formation photo flight with Billy Werth at the Indianapolis Air Show. And now, full-up formation aerobatics with some of the masters of the craft, the AeroShell Team.
I attended the Battle Creek Field of Flight Airshow and Balloon Festival this weekend. It's one of my favorite shows and I was even a Thunderbirds media rider there last year. And, with the great lineup this year, I was pretty excited to get there and see what parts of the envelope I might be able to explore.
The AeroShell Team is a four-ship precision aerobatic team that flies the North American T-6 Texan, the iconic WWII trainer that made pilots out of thousands of pedestrians. I contacted Brian Regan, the lead pilot for the team, on Thursday and made arrangements to meet him when he arrived on Friday. Once the Temporary Flight Restriction ("TFR") for the Friday practice session ended in the afternoon, we launched in a single ship and headed out to the south to fly some acro.
It happened that Mark Henley, who flies the No. 2 ship (the right wing in this team) was arriving from the south and he joined up with us for some two-ship aerobatics. We pulled a loop, a barrel roll, and some other maneuvers as a formation and it was great to be able to see right up close how precise the formation is and what goes into the airshow performance. ...
