L-39 Driver Tim Brutsche from Airspeed
Many of us go to airshows and love the prop-driven warbirds and the military jet team performances. But there's a space in there that's inhabited by a special breed of airplane and pilot. That's the civilian-owned and operated jet warbird.
One such jet warbird is the L-39 Albatross. It's a high-performance jet trainer developed in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s to replace the L-29. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced.
And the pilot of one such jet warbird is...

Museum seeks WB-50 information from National Museum of the USAF Top Stories
The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force is seeking information related to its Boeing WB-50 aircraft.
In the 1950s, modified B-50Ds, like the one on display at the museum, were equipped for long-range weather reconnaissance missions with high-altitude atmospheric samplers, Doppler radar, weather radar and a bomb-bay fuel tank for extended range.
The museum is specifically interested in learning about a special feature on some WB-50 aircraft: the Foil E-1 (see illustration). Nicknamed the "Dog House," these collection foils were used during missions to sample the air for radioactive particles indicating that the Soviet Union had detonated a nuclear weapon. ...

Introducing DVD Reviews by Flightline UK
A new feature from Flightline UK in 2010 will be regular reviews of the latest Airshow DVD releases. I should confess that I actually haven't bought an airshow video or DVD for a number of years. I suspect a lot of this is down to the emergence of Video Sharing websites and pretty "iffy" productions in the past. ...
DVD Review: Bournemouth Air Festival 2009 by Flightline UK
One of the most successful airshows of the past two years has been the Bournemouth Air Festival. In 2009, over 1.2 million spectators enjoyed the Air Festival so this should be a popular production.

DVD Review: Abingdon Air & Country Show 2009 by Flightline UK
A good place to start would be the Abingdon Air & Country Show, one of the very first airshows of the year. The Abingdon show was one of the first for Planes TV using new camera equipment bringing some very good image quality throughout the DVD.
The DVD starts with a brief look around the show with some passing shots of the classic cars and even the daleks! The "aviation" side of the DVD is opened by the dramatic arrival of the RAF's C-17A Globemaster III. For anyone who was actually at the show, you'll remember just what a sight it was and PlanesTV capture it well. Interviews with the crew are particularly welcome.
The flying displays are all captured well with the odd interview ...
