2009 ASB Person of the Year - ASB.TV Community from http://www.asb.tv/ Before he could even write, a cherub faced Steven Hinton kept people riveted as the four year old gave authoritative tours of the Planes of Fame museum in Chino, California. As the son of museum president Steve Hinton, who is a legendary warbird and race pilot, one might expect such precociousness from the younger Hinton. However, his aviation pedigree only granted him access to remarkable planes and people, but it was his own determination and tremendous work ethic that landed him in the Reno gold circle. As a twelve year old his bedroom became an air racing shrine according to his mother, Karen Hinton, who anticipated he would follow the family's penchant for racing. So it wasn't a surprise when Steven started working his way through airplanes soloing in a Cessna 150 at sixteen and moving through a stearman, L-5, T-6 and ultimately soloing in a P-51 Mustang at nineteen…

Seventy-five years of the swept wing from Bayou Renaissance Man by Peter Seventy-five years ago (from 2010), the technology of swept wings was first mooted in Germany. The German Aerospace Center reports: In the 1930s, the fastest aircraft of the time hit an invisible limit: the sound barrier.

"Super Hercules" from The Unwanted Blog by admin When Lockheed was designing what would become the C-141 "Starlifter," they started with their previous success, the C-130 "Hercules" and expanded it. Stretched the fuselage, swept the wings, added turbojets. Obviously it turned out not to be as simple as that, and the C-141 had almost nothing of the C-130 in it… but in these drawings of the GL-207-45 (submitted for System 476L) from 1960, you can still see a hint of Herc…
