This year also marked the airport's 65th anniversary. New for 2010 was the participation of Julie Clark. Clark was one of the first women to fly for a major airline back in 1977. But on Sunday she performed aerial acrobatics to the tune of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." in a plane built for aerobatics. Clark piloted a small plane named the "Free Spirit," a Chevron Mentor T-34 through loops and rolls as red, white and blue smoke trailed from the aircraft. Planes were not the only attraction, Cable said…

Boeing Saves Lockheed Constellation from AVwebFlash Current Issue | A Lockheed Constellation whose history includes flying in Canada, life as a restaurant in Toronto and twenty years left alone in the woods has found salvation and a new life at Boeing Field's Museum of Flight in Seattle, Wash. Currently, the Connie is undergoing restoration at Boeing's Plant 2 building thanks in part to a large financial contribution from an anonymous donor but also because of a bureaucratic victory. The restoration begat a two-year bureaucratic fight over ownership of the aircraft. At that time, the project was in the U.S., but Canada stepped forward to claim the until then much-neglected Connie as "a priceless piece of Canada's heritage," according to the Seattle Times. Ultimately, however, no Canadian institution stepped forward to buy the plane and the restoration project was kicked into high gear. The aircraft is set to go on display at the Museum of Flight later this year.

This Week In Military/Aviation History 11-17 January from Warbirds Online by Tom Kwiatkowski Sr. | Well Folks, 2010 is here and already last week my computer was in the shop. It seems my personal gremlinette stole my e-mail and at the same time messed up my bookmarks. Which was why I didn't post. (Miss me?) When she gets revved up, I suffer. Hopefully, the boys at the shop put her in her place and I won't hear from her for a while. I have my fingers crossed. I sincerely hope your NewYear's went well and so far the year is following suit. Well, let's move on to some serious history shall we? Yes, I think we shall. Tom K.

(Archive) Picture(s) A Day – 9 January 2010 – More Plane Pr0n! from Parrothead Jeff by Parrothead Jeff | Folks, let's just say that yesterday wasn't the greatest in that I'm still not well.  I talked to my sister today who's a recently minted RN and she advised that I shouldn't be too worried just yet and confirmed that I'm on the right path with going to see the doc again sometime early this week.  I'm shooting for Monday after work, but we'll see if we can't work something out for Tuesday if that won't fly.  I don't want to miss work, but maybe I can go in early and leave early as well.
