Vintage aircraft a safety risk from www.expressbuzz.com
HYDERABAD: Coming down the sky at a speed of about 250 knots (over 460 km per hour), a possible hydraulic failure in the Kiran MK-II plane in the last minute appears to be the possible cause which led to the crash of the aircraft today.
Surprisingly, though the Kiran MK-IIs are known to eject the pilot to safety even during zero speed (ground level), it failed to do so today raising doubts over the maintenance of the aircraft. The parachute reportedly failed to open in the nick of time. ...

In return, he would get what remains of the Mosquito, with plans to restore it to flying condition so it could be seen at air shows. He says it would be possible for the Mosquito to visit the city.
Allowing Vacher's bid back on the table worries the Calgary Mosquito Society, which wants the plane to remain in the city.
"The wording of this, (the Mosquito) could still leave the country," Peter Cromer said. "I think this is a big mistake."
Ald. John Mar, who added the local requirement into the expressions of interest, said the city shouldn't be giving away its history. ...

(title unknown) from Aviation Trivia of the Day
Contrary to common belief and the traditions of the Grumman "Iron Works" embodied in the F4F Wildcat and F6F Hellcat, the F8F Bearcat was designed from the outset to be as light as possible to give it the highest performance possible. The big Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine of the Bearcat weighed about 3,000 lbs and the airframe itself weighed in at only 4,000 lbs empty- quite literally making the Bearcat "half-engine"! To make the aircraft as light as possible, many features common to other Grumman fighters were left out or reduced on the Bearcat- not to mention limits on the fuel load and armament. After the Bearcat landed on the carrier deck, the deck crew would have to manually stow the tailhook and used a pry bar that fit into a socket in the wings to manually fold the wings. Even the prop spinner was left off to save weight. ...

Previewing The CW's Fly Girls at 35,000 Feet - Huffington Post
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/terry-gardner/previewing-the-wbs-emfly_b_481802.html
When Virgin America invited me to attend the in-flight premiere of Fly Girls on Friday, February 26, I hesitated. I only watch American Idol after they've eliminated the friendless contestants who can't carry a tune. (Friends don't let friends sing off-key on national TV.) I don't eat bugs and don't want to watch others digest them. I am anti-reality TV.
But I love to fly.
And this new half-hour docu-series follows the lives of five Virgin America flight attendants at 35,000 feet and on the ground. That sounded like fun. And I was fairly certain flight attendants didn't eat bugs, so I accepted the invitation. ...
