Formula Vee Air Racing - Compilation : Aircraft
Formula Vee was concieved as an entry level class by famed air race pilot Steve Wittman. Aircraft were restricted to a "box rule," with 75 square feet of wing area, fixed landing gear, a fixed-pitch prop, and a 1600CC Volkswagen air-cooled engine. Active from 1977 to 1997, the class produced, arguably, the fastest VW powered vehicles ever made. I'm sorry the video quality is not the best, this was made from a deteriorated VHS tape that was itself a copy of the originals. For more F/V racing, …

Sayre pilot honored for 50 years of safe flight - News - Daily Review
On April 1, 1945, 80-year-old Dana Smith, who now lives in Sayre, took his first solo flight.
Sixty-four years later, he's still flying.
Smith was recently awarded the Federal Afromtion Administration's "Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award" for 50 consecutive years of safe aircraft flight operations.
After getting his private pilot's license in 1946, he flew planes belonging to his father, brother and friends around the family farm in Ulster.
Smith was grounded for a while when he entered the Navy in 1950. He served in the Navy for four years as an aircraft mechanic, he said, and did occasionally fly as a private pilot during that time.
After the Navy, he began flying continuously, he said. In 1967, he became an aircraft instructor and started teaching others to fly. Over the years, he's been a part of the education of more than 50 pilots, he said. One of those who benefitted from his instruction was Neil Wilson, who currently is an instructor at the Bradford County Airport.

Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Track Santa and his sleigh with NORAD - The Official Google Blog
Sipping warm cider, watching the snow fall, unwrapping gifts — these holiday traditions always seem to produce many of the year's sweetest memories. Several years ago, we added another holiday tradition to our list — helping NORAD keep tabs on Santa every Christmas Eve.
NORAD's Santa-tracking dates back to 1955, when a Sears and Roebuck magazine ad in Colorado Springs accidentally directed readers to call NORAD instead of the "Talk-to-Santa" hotline they were advertising. Embracing the holiday spirit, the folks at NORAD provided callers with Santa's location according to their radar and have tracked his journey ever since. Many years later, in 2004, the same holiday spirit inspired us to use Google Earth — it was called "Keyhole Earth Viewer" back then — to display Santa's voyage around the world on Christmas Eve. We hosted the entire tracker on a single machine and were excited to have an audience of 25,000 following St. Nick's flight with us that night.
Our scrappy Santa tracker has come a long way since 2004. We added "Santa-cam" videos for select locations around the world, 3D SketchUp models of Santa's sleigh and his North Pole home, the official feed of Santa's location from NORAD headquarters and several other improvements. With more technical resources to support this richer experience, and the wonderful efforts of our Santa-tracking team, 2008 was the biggest year ever for NORAD Tracks Santa — more than eight million people tuned in to track Santa last Christmas Eve. ...

The Art of Flying - Afromtion News
... History: I enjoy most those airplanes designed in the 1920s through 1950s. There was care in the creation of these machines hand-built to give the flyers of the day a passport to a country restless just above the heads of the timid among them. We can feel that as we fly, open cockpit, noise and wind tearing at our attention, infusing our senses with the smell of …well everything. We are uninsulated from our environment yet connected to those hands that welded steel tube or glued spruce into intricate forms for flight. We can feel them there with us though they themselves may be long gone.
