... Only one person in that room was happier than Tiger, and that was our new Champion, Stevo Hinton. Yes, Stevo – I've been calling him Stevo for six years and I'm not going to stop now. Stevo is still the same Airport Kid, but now he has a title, a trophy, a gold jacket and a list of records as long as his arm. He is still smart, and charming and humble and terrific. I credit Steven and Karen for raising such a fabulous kid. Never change, Stevo – we love you just the way you are. ...

High in The Sky: Glider Planes Soar Like Birds - Engineless glider planes relying on air flow, currents to stay in the sky. by Diamond Pilots
... I can still remember the warm sun on that autumn day, the big smile on my brother's face when he landed and his descriptions of floating along through the air.
So that's how I found myself reading a textbook about glider planes as my husband drove me and my kids to that same airstrip last week. I'll be honest. I was cramming.
My co-anchors and I have all taken turns at having a "weekend adventure" -- something we'd probably never try otherwise. These are the kind of stories that make us realize we do, in fact, have pretty cool jobs. ...

Israel industry tour Day 1: Remember the Lavi - The DEW Line by Stephen Trimble
TEL AVIV -- It's probably unfair to start my Israeli tour diary with the Lavi. It's a bit like finding a way to shoehorn Darleen Druyun's name into the beginning of a Boeing tanker article.
But there it was as I walked into the factory next door to Ben Gurion International Airport for the Lahav division of Israel Aerospace Industries. Parked behind a long line of refurbishment projects -- including two MiG-21s for an African customer, an Mi-17 and an Israeli F-16 -- was the last surviving remnant of the Lavi program cancelled in 1986. Pictured below is the B3 technology demonstrator. ...
'Leftover Field': Clock is ticking to preserve Wendover site's often forgotten legacy - Deseret News
Carved from salt flats and sagebrush at the intersection of Isolation and Bleak, Wendover Airfield circa 1945 was as key to America's war effort as it was removed from prying eyes.
During a USO performance there, legendary comedian Bob Hope had servicemen in the audience howling with laughter when he jokingly referred to the World War II airbase as "Leftover Field."
Hope's punch line still works describing the airfield's dilapidated remnants. Only it's no longer a laughing matter for Jim Petersen, director of Tooele County's Wendover Airport, which encompasses much of the base's historic footprint. ...
Today's Waco: A winning combination - General Aviation News
WACO 8135 Cgilroy 2An open cockpit airplane is fun, whether it was built last week or 50 years ago. But when you take a classic design and make it from modern materials, you have a winner all around. That's the formula pursued by the Waco Classic Aircraft Co. in Battle Creek, Mich.
"The Waco harkens back to a time when aviation was more of an adventure," said Peter Bowers, CEO of Waco Classic Aircraft as he carefully wiped the morning dew off the gleaming red and white airframes during this summer's AirVenture. "The Waco is not transportation, it is flying. It is an airplane that a lot of people lust after because it's an incredibly sexy airplane. It is a fun airplane to fly and it brings back memories of yesterday. It's not like the kind of flying that you get today in so many other types of airplanes where it is a more sterile experience." ...

LSA in the spotlight at AOPA - General Aviation News
In its first year as the AOPA Aviation Summit (versus Expo), the 70-year-old, 415,000-member organization made lots of changes, large and small. Among the most notable under capable new president Craig Fuller was much greater attention to LSA.
Here's the fast-read update: AOPA announced its 2010 Sweepstakes airplane is a Remos GX (pictured above, with yours truly on the left, Remos's Corvin Huber in the middle and AOPA's Craig Fuller on the right); the company had multiple displays and aircraft. Cessna brought a SkyCatcher for selected reporters to fly. Fuller had Icon A5 developer Kirk Hawkins on the center-hall stage. EAA's Earl Lawrence led a LSA panel ...
