From the Blue Eagles website and AAC magazine, Hawkeye
The AAC Blue Eagles Display Team are to be put in abeyance for the forthcoming 2010 season.
It has been directed by the Director of Army Aviation, Brigadier David Short, that, where practicable, the AAC Blue Eagles will support events in 2010 with 'role demonstrations' and/or static displays.
The intention is to re-establish the Blue Eagles on the display circuit with a new invigorated display in 2011.
This aspiration will be confirmed or otherwise during the middle of next year.

Where Wilbur and Orville Fighter Pilots? from Fighter Pilot University
They didn't drink. They didn't smoke. They didn't chase women. They didn't cuss. They didn't brag or like to talk about themselves. They didn't wear a big watch. How could they possibly be fighter pilots. What they did do was never give up and they were, without a doubt, geniuses. Two typical fighter pilot traits, so maybe they were.
I read a kickass book about the Wright brothers last year, The Bishop's Boys. It's an amazing, detailed story of how Orville and Wilbur invented the airplane and what happened to them after ...

'Mini Herc' set to join Air Force fleet from Air Force Link Top Stories
Air Force plans to include the C-27J Spartan, the latest propeller-driven airlifter planned for the Air Force inventory, are steadily progressing.
In April, through Resource Management Decision 802, Defense Secretary Robert Gates moved the C-27J program and its related direct support mission from the Army to the Air Force. Since April, the Air Force and Air Mobility Command have taken a serious approach to building the program, officials said.
"The program is in transition from an Army-led joint program to a sole Air Force program," said Lt. Col. Gene Capone, AMC's C-27J test manager at the Joint Program Office. "Making a switch like this is no small affair, especially at this phase in the acquisition process. Because the Army lost all fiscal year 2010 C-27J funding due to RMD 802, the Air Force is funding the Army to continue leading the program through completion of Multi-Service Operational Test and Evaluation."

15 units, 3 countries converge on Nellis for Red Flag from Milcom Monitoring Post by Larry
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. (AFNS) -- Nearly 1,300 servicemembers, more than 80 aircraft and 15 units from three countries converged on Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., for the start of Red Flag 10-1 Oct. 19.
American, Norwegian and Dutch airmen and soldiers comprise the allied team in the exercise.
"The exercise is a great opportunity for people to get out of their comfort zones and fight a war at a rapid pace," said Col. Ellwood Hinman, 23rd Fighter Group commander at Moody AFB, Ga., deployed to Nellis as the Red Flag air expeditionary wing commander. "What you may have done (in previously deployed locations) was certainly great, but it's not what you're doing here. This Red Flag provides us the opportunity to maximize training throughout its duration."
The key benefit for most fliers is removing themselves from the vacuum of normal operations. ...

Many Thanks for a Terrific Show! from Fort Worth Alliance Air Show Blog
It takes hundreds and hundreds of volunteers to coordinate the annual Fort Worth Alliance Air Show. Plus, it takes thousands of fans to come and enjoy the show. We would like to thank everyone involved - the volunteers, the performers, static display, sponsors, exhibitors and especially the fans!
It is a tremendous amount of effort to convert a working airport into an annual air show. We thank each and everyone who played a role in making it great.
We'll learn next year's jet team and the dates of the show in December at the annual International Council of Air Shows Conference. Until then, keep flying high!
Again, many, many thanks to everyone involved!
