Riverside Air Show by nurselauren - Last Saturday I headed out to Riverside to see my uncle john at the Riverside Air Show. He tours around with some sort of jet car that can reach 400 mph in something crazy like 8 seconds — see http://www.smoke-n-thunder.com/. Unfortunately, it happened to be the windiest day in history, so they weren't able to actually go that fast, but it was still pretty cool to see, plus I got a nice tan!...
Age no obstacle for Air Heritage Museum volunteer from Diamond Pilots by Kathryn | CHIPPEWA TWP. — Yep, Horace "Pen" Pendleton has what everyone wants — a good life. He's lived it for all of his 34,325 days, one day at a time, with his glass still full and his foot on the accelerator of his silver Dodge Intrepid. He chooses which weekday mornings to drive the 47 miles from Country Meadows retirement home in Bridgeville to the Air Heritage Museum at the Beaver County Airport in Chippewa Township, then back, because he can. The longtime volunteer can take apart engines from vintage military and commercial airplanes, figure out what's fixable, and then find parts he needs to make the planes pretty and poised to fly again.

Grissom Air Museum And The B-58 Mower Shed! by Martt | The one hour trip I made last Saturday from Warsaw down to Peru, Indiana to go to the Grissom Air Museum gave me a chance to get some great pictures of the oldest B-58 still in existence, aircraft #55-663 in the top picture above. It's also featured in this B-58 CoolPix from a few days ago which gives you a hi-res version to check the airplane out in detail. As you can see in the pic above and the others with it, there are several other historical aircraft on display outside as well, including several more that aren't shown in these pictures. You can see all of the aircraft at this page at the museum website. It's a nice collection that is holding up fairly well considering they are out in the weather. I'm hoping someday there will be a way to get these airplanes inside…Pacific war not revenge - Santa Maria Times | The B-25 aircraft, in its several configurations, helped to destroy Japanese air power, and prevented Japanese ships from resupplying their forces.

Pam Ann Safety Video (hilarious comic videos from a stewardess's perspective) from You Fly, Girl by Cathy Gale | Pam Ann is apparenlty a comedy series of skits on the aviation industry. Here are a few videos from it. That's all I know. Well, also that they're British (or maybe Australian????), and have a British sense of humor. (And they're very popular, if the amount of people who've watched them, most average over 100,000 hits.)…
Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago - Early on in the postwar period both the United States and the Soviet Union realized the potential deterrent value of basing nuclear missiles on submarines. Both nations looked at derivatives of the German V-2 missile but in the United States development first focused on the use of cruise missiles on submarines but as a deterrent, the system was slow. Cruise missiles of the day flew no faster than the jet bombers and were thus prone to interception and the need to launch from the surface made the sub platform vulnerable to detection and attack…
