Tribute to Vicki Cruse from You Fly, Girl by Cathy Gale
Vicki Cruse died doing what she loved. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/northamptonshire/8217146.stm
The aerobatics show will continue, although the investigation into why her plane crashed is continuing.
"I have had the honour to have known Vicki for 14 years," said Mr DeWitt, UAUSA president, in a website blog.
"Both of us flew Christen Eagles in competition, and later, the Edge 540s.
"I will never forget the memories of flying on her wing tip to or from a contest, meeting new friends, and seeing old friends.
"Vicki was an extraordinary person. She was bright, street smart, unassuming, and possessed a twisted sense of humour.
A meeting of the team managers was conducted this morning and all voted to continue the contest in Vicki's memory Norm DeWitt, president of UAUSA "She enjoyed pulling a prank on any one of us. I will miss her, greatly.
"I feel very lucky to have been one of her close friends."

In flight - The Big Picture - Boston.com from http://www.boston.com/ Just over 100 years since the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight, flying machines are now commonplace, used for transport, freight, warfare, rescue and pleasure just for starters. Aerospace technology is still the realm of both big business and entrepreneurs - Moscow recently hosted an airshow in which contracts totaling $10 billion were signed, and Virgin Galactic is still working toward a private spaceliner business. Collected here are recent photographs of various flying machines in action or on display around the world. (40 photos total)

On This Day In Aviation History: August 25th by Matt Molnar

1784, James Tytler, a Scottish eccentric (and renowned drunk), pilots the first manned balloon flight in England, reaching an altitude of a few hundred feet before landing. Along with his aeronautic skills, Tytler was a surgeon, pharmacist and, perhaps most notably, the second editor of the Encyclopedia Brittannica.

1912, Royal Navy aviator Wilfred Parke becomes the first pilot ever to recover from a spin, regaining control of his Avro Type G biplane 50 feet from the ground at Larkhill, England.

1919, the earliest forerunner of British Airways is born when, for 21 pounds, a single passenger boards the first ever commercial flight between Paris and London. It also marks the first regularly operated international flight.

1932, Amelia Earhart becomes the first he first woman to fly non-stop across the United States, landing her Lockheed Vega in Newark 19 hours after taking off from Los Angeles.
