Video: Huge Martin Mars Flying Boat / Water Bomber - She's A Beauty! by Martt | I've kinda had huge radial engines on the brain lately because of the Retro Airliner Design Contest, and that lead me to find this nice short landing video of the beautifully graceful Martin Mars used by the Coulson Group as a fire fighting water bomber.  Flying boats are such an awesome part of aviation history, and it's really nice to see this one still being used today.  Pretty amazing too since this aircraft was originally delivered to the U.S. Navy in April 1946!  What an amazing sight and sound of the 200' wingspan water bomber with 4 massive radial engines : )

Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago | Aviation history is often a study in technology as well as events but sometimes the really fascinating parts concern the personalities and how personal traits shaped major decisions that impacted the course of history. One of the those personalities was C. Edward Acker, one of the airline industry's CEOs during the chaotic deregulation period in the United States in the 1980s. If there was one quote that summed up the titanic personality of this Texan, it was something he himself once said: "Once you get hooked on the airline business, it's worse than dope."…

Capt Force Talks UAVs from Airspeed by Stephen Force (Steve Tupper) | I'd like to set the record straight on an issue of minor importance. I tweeted some disparaging comments about the Predator-B Unmanned Aircraft System that the US Customs and Border Patrol brought to Oshkosh last year. The kind of rhetoric to which pilots are given from time to time. Nothing particularly vitriolic, but disparaging nevertheless. That got a lot of traction and I found myself widely re-tweeted. So much so that I actually began to hope sincerely that no harm came to the Predator because I expected to be questioned if it did. Even though I was still in Michigan at the time…

Win A Round Trip Reservation To The Moon from The Unwanted Blog by admin | I'm currently reading "Call Me Joe" by Poul Anderson in the April, 1957 issue of Astounding Science Fiction magazine. I'm only a few pages in, but something about it seems vaguely familiar… humans have travelled to a distant gas giant; there they find a world with a toxic atmosphere, so one human, who is confined to a wheelchair, hooks himself up to a machine that reads his mind and projects his senses down to the planet, where he inhabits a blue-skinned alien. When the alien body is tired, he unplugs from it and the alien goes to sleep, and he come sback to his wheelchair-bound human body…
