Matt Hall Racing to become all Aussie team in time for Rio Air Race - Matt Hall Racing
Fresh from his historic second placing in last weekend's Perth leg of the Red Bull Air Race World Championships, Matt Hall has announced he will carry an all Australian team into at least the event's next three rounds, starting with Rio de Janeiro next month.
Veteran Technician Len Rulason has resigned from the team and will be replaced by Perth born and based 31-year-old Jack Moshovis, meaning all three core members of the Matt Hall Racing team – Hall, Moshovis and Team Coordinator David Lyall – were born Down Under.
Moshovis is an experienced aircraft mechanic who has worked extensively in Europe and is known for his ability to work under pressure and in remote regions of Western Australia.

Video: Spectacular XB-70 Footage Of Valkyrie #2 - 1965 by Martt
This is some rare and fabulous video history of the second XB-70 Valkyrie, including the rollout and some amazing takeoff footage.  It's kinda long at 9:34 but really well worth your time.  I'm amazed at the complexity of the main gear retraction that can be seen at the end of the first minute.
 At the six minute mark it's interesting to note the cockpit bobbing up and down due to the nose gear being mounted so far behind the nose of the aircraft.  Not only could that make for a bumpy ride being on such a long ...
