Europe Trip #31: IWM Duxford - 12 - Final Display Hanger A from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
OK, the last of the in hanger shots are in this and the next post. The pictures in these posts cover [approximately] World War Two through to the Concord. It's amazing how they manage to get so many aircraft in to one [big] room without it all looking cramped - I guess it helps being able to hang a few aircraft off the ceiling :-) Clearly the most impressive aircraft was the BAC/ Aerospatiale Concord - the fact that it was open was ever better! This particularly aircraft was one of the test models and was equipped with the flight test gear int he front half. The rear of the aircraft had the usual seating [although masked off so I couldn't get a rest :-)].

Europe Trip #33: Good bye Duxford from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
Here are the final pictures from the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. It's been a long road, lots of pictures, and even more fun. I guess that I can only recommend that if you have the chance, go visit! The best lesson learnt was to leave more time so I'm not rushed because of a short visit. Next time I'll make sure I have a couple of days around Duxford and also at Hendon. The final pictures are of the rear of the American Hanger [which faces the airfield proper], a Boeing B17G Flying Fortress and the Duxford Airfield Control Tower…

Bear Attack - Duct Tape wins again from Aviation Professionals dot Org by Mark
Apparently a bear attacked his plane while parked in a remote field up in AK. He had not cleaned out the inside after a long fishing trip and the bear smelled it. He had 2 new tires, 3 cases of Duct Tape and several rolls of cellophane delivered. Then went about repairing the plane so he could fly it home.
Video: Fifteen B-52s Take Off Within Minutes During Exercise by Matt Molnar
If the world’s powers should ever crumble and decide thermonuclear war is the final solution for mankind, chances are that many air force bomber bases—American and Russian, respectively—will look a lot like this during their final minutes. Barring that scenario, the sights in this video are only seen during war games and practice drills. Here we see 15 B-52s conducting Minimum Interval Take-Offs (MITO) from Minot AFB, North Dakota, during the U.S. Strategic Command nuclear exercise GLOBAL THUNDER in June 2009.

The Northeast Airlines Reunion from Rand Peck, A Life Aloft by Rand Peck
As many of you know, my Dad flew for BOS based Northeast Airlines from 1946 through 1980, during the "golden age" of American Air Transport. I can practically recite the 1957 seniority list with names that included; Anderson, Bean, Mudge, Lord and Chaves. I wanted desperately to fill a slot on the NEA seniority list, but was too young when they merged with Delta in 1972. I interviewed with Delta in 1978 while flying with BOS based Air New England, but when they discovered that I was "Red's boy," I was done. DAL employed a nepotism policy in those days…
