Wings Over Baker air show returns in July - Statesman Journal
Following a one-year hiatus prompted by the recession, the Wings Over Baker air show and Durkee Steak Feed will both return to Baker County in 2010.
For the first time, the popular events will be combined. The steak feed is scheduled for Friday July 23 at the Baker City Municipal Airport — the same weekend as the air show.
Before it was canceled last year, residents in the small community southeast of Baker City had gathered for the annual dinner every summer since the mid-1940s.
Mel Cross, president of the seven-member air show board, says he hopes the steak feed will become a permanent part of Wings Over Baker.

Self-taught 100-year-old Harmar pilot put wild in blue yonder - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Amelia Earhart may have given him a few rides to the airport, but he didn't need to ride her coattails to fly into a world record position.
John Hicks of Harmar celebrated his 100th birthday on Friday and reminisced about his courageous adventure across the United States in a one-passenger Aeronca C-2 plane, a k a, a "Puddlejumper."
His plane, which tipped the scales at a measly 398 pounds before gasoline and pilot, was -- and may still be -- the smallest plane to make the trip from New York to Los Angeles and back.
Hicks, who before his 1936 trip didn't have even five minutes of flight time, taught himself to fly through reading. ...
PROFILE 41: "OLD CROW" update from WWII Fighter Plane Profiles
If it weren't for insomnia, I wouldn't make any progress'tall.
More than a few eyes are on this project, so I thought to post this newest update. I'll mask in a new wing later this week and make whatever changes/suggestions that Bud says need to be done.
But, I did get some input from my friend Jim, an armorer who worked on B model Mustangs in England during WW2. Unfortunately, his comments had nothing to do with the art, but with the structure of the actual airplane. Specifically, the gun mounts in the wing.
The P-51 series featured a wing design strategy that created "Laminar Flow." Without getting too geeky, on a traditional wing, turbulence between the surface and air flow creates drag at the bulky leading edge. Laminar Flow philosophy moves the thickest part of the wing back towards the middle, creating a smoother surface for air to flow across, reducing drag and maintaining efficient lift at various speeds. ...

Flying the Nimrod with Guernsey's own - BBC
Mike has flown more than 8,000 hours in the Nimrod
Mike Seward piloted the Royal Air Force's Nimrod maritime reconnaissance air craft until the year 2000.
In his time he built up 8,000 hours flying the planes all over the world and called the announcement of the their retirement "a sad day".
Mike said he could "personally vouch" for the Nimrod's nickname of the "vomit comet" thanks to the disorientating feeling it gave those on board.
But, he added: "It always felt very safe."
The original mark one Nimrod first took to the air in 1969 and was used in maritime reconnaissance, which Mike explained mostly involved "monitoring the Russian fleet" as this was during the height of the Cold War. ...

Because of the set-up of the day, we did not do our usual presentation, shown here. Instead, we fell into the ...
