European Airshow Convention 2010 : improving airshows from Sky-Lens'Aviation'. News
There are several tactics to attract visitors in airshows and raise their interest in the many different aerial and festive activities an event can provide. That's what the Convention is all about : inventing the future of these shows, a hard job mixing air safety experience with specialists, marketing, sponsorship, and a bit of creativity to get people in and have them come back the year after. It explains why public care became a main topic for this year's EAC forum, and most airshow organisers are rather more interested in those matters than they used to. There has been ongoing reduced military airplanes participation in airshows during the last ten years, but public attendance kept going up during the same period. Though Display Safety issues are always one of the EAC's core interests, new topics appeared in 2010 such as crisis management with big crowds. The 2010 EAC Convention also centered on another theme that - to my own opinion - is the most important thing to do in airshows : making emotion.
In a dedication ceremony held Feb. 26, 2010, the museum revealed their newest feature, "The Mexican Air Force." This exhibit is dedicated to Mexico's Escuadrón 201, commonly referred to as the Aztec Eagles, which fought alongside the United States forces during World War II. It is part of the growing display of "Airmen in a World at War" exhibit located in the Air Power Gallery.
It is a little known fact that Mexico, which declared war against Japan, Germany and Italy on May 28, 1942, fought alongside the United States in the South Pacific during World War II. The President of Mexico, Manuel Avila Camacho, accepted a U.S. invitation to provide Mexican air force units in the war against Japan after breaking off diplomatic relations with those countries shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. more...

UNOFFICIAL START – 2010 - Mike Goulian Airshows
... Watching the race plane move on down the road and going flying in the ASB.TV EXTRA has put a bounce in my step. It's just great to get the new season underway because it has been a long and cold winter in Boston.
The new season is always exciting for me. After more than twenty years of flying aerobatics, and more recently racing, I love it today as much as I did when I was still dreaming of flying in my first air show.

Flying Fortress flies in, brings history to life (Video and Photos) from Diamond Pilots
The 25th mission Bill Archer flew as co-pilot of a B-17 "Flying Fortress" also became his last. Archer and members of the 447th Bombardier Group were en route to Mainz, Germany, in 1944. The airplane lost two of its four engines. Then a third went out. "It was hard enough to fly on two engines but one was impossible," said Archer, whose daughter, Susan Chiarito, is a Vicksburg physician. "We had one engine left and 300 miles to go." The plane lost altitude steadily. A pair of P-38s accompanied the injured craft to fend off any attackers. The normal flight level for such bombers was about 24,000 feet, but Archer's plane was nearing 2,000 feet. At that level, there was barely enough time to jump and allow a parachute to open. ...

T-28 from Neptunus Lex
T-28 Trojan was an outgoing primary trainer when I started flight school. It hosted a Wright R-1820-86 Cyclone radial engine with 1,425 hp under the cowl, and was thought to be a real handful for your first flyer. You could volunteer for T-28s, but I went with the simpler T-34 as more sedate and "jet-like."
