Mary Kirby and I review Day Three at #DXB09 - FlightBlogger
This last daily wrap up from Dubai is a tad belated due to some late network issues. We also had to record this one a bit earlier on Tuesday because of some time constraints, so we didn't get the full skinny on the orders announced during the day. That being said, I'm back safe and sound on the East Coast! Thanks everyone for a very memorable week!

Peter Besenyei: The Race Pilot Meets The Astronaut - www.redbullairrace.com:
Two countries, two national heroes. For both, earth is too confined a space and extreme flying machines are their passion. Red Bull Air Race pilot Peter Besenyei from Hungary met Slovakia's first ever astronaut Ivan Bella at Tököl Airport to take him for a flight in his race plane. Bella who, as a cosmonaut, is familiar with G-force was looking forward to experiencing it in a different type of plane than he is normally accustomed to.

I have known of "Madame" since I was a very little girl. My father, who was a member of the elite American Volunteer Group, also known as the Flying Tigers during World War II, spoke of the diminutive Chinese lady with admiration.
