The event, enjoyed by a crowd of more than 35,000 this year, is jointly run by Shellharbour City Council and the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society, based at Illawarra Regional Airport.

Vintage plane crashes; fatalities reported - KGET TV 17
A World War II vintage airplane has crashed near the Frito Lay plant west of Bakersfield, and first reports indicate two people have been killed.
It happened at about 11:30 a.m., and emergency crews are still on at the scene, so details were sketchy in the early afternoon.
It was reported as the crash of an AT-6 Texan, a training plane used by pilots in World War II and a standard feature in modern-day air shows. ...
WWII, Korean War pilots share first-hand accounts of high-flying, heroic history - KVUE [VIDEO]

"You always hear stories that your dad tells you," said Paul Kiessling.
But the generation who witnessed World War II and the Korean War first-hand is slowly dying. Pretty soon there won't be anyone around to share that history.
"We are all going away, all us old guys," said Bill Wright, a Korean War veteran. ...
Widow of WWII plane crash survivor will fulfill last wish - Press Tribune
Mugs that commemorate crew will be sent to former airfield in England.

But Tom Parker died March 6, just weeks shy of his 90th birthday and the anniversary of the event that forever changed his life.
And now his widow will complete the story and fulfill one last wish.

Emily Howell Warner - request to rename an airport after her from You Fly, Girl
... Much as Hank Aaron broke the color barrier in baseball, Emily broke down barriers to become the first female captain of a major airline. It was not easy — it took persistence and a thick skin to thrust herself into a man's world. Today, female pilots have a much easier time.
She is known and respected nationally for her accomplishments but just as importantly, she is well known within the Colorado and Granby pilots associations. If not Granby, I predict that her name will be used to honor another airport in Colorado.
But, why not Granby? This has been a home to her for many years and I suspect that she is as close to a national aviation hero as Granby will ever have. ...

"Wings of Time"…# 04 from AeroHub
Our first amphibian; the Supermarine 'Walrus'. | Whilst there had been flying boats and floatplanes operating in NZ since the Walsh brother's Boeings, followed by the NZPAF's DH-60 and Fairey IIIF floatplanes, our first true operational military amphibious seaplane was the Supermarine Walrus.
The line of Supermarine 'boats began when Noel Pemberton-Billing started the company during WWI. He sold to Hubert Scott-Paine who was then bought out by Vickers in 1928. Vickers inherited a range of 'boats, one of which was the Seagull fleet spotter. In 1925 the Australian Navy ordered nine Seagull III amphibians which were deployed on their Cruisers; HMAS Albatross, Australia and Canberra. The Seagull III was a 450 bhp open-cockpit biplane with a tractor-mounted Napier Lion.
After a few years, the Aussies discussed, with Supermarine's Chief Designer, Reginald Mitchell, an improved ...

Civil Air Patrol members are charged with three tasks: emergency services -- such as disaster relief or search and rescue -- aerospace education and cadet programs. More recently, the organization's scope has expanded to include homeland security and courier missions. The local squadron also conducts drug demand reduction missions during the summer. ...
