Sank 'eaven fur leetle gurlz... from Unusual Attitude
So chapeaux off to Commandant Virginie Guyot, first featured in this blog just about a year ago, and who is this year leading the Patrouille de France.
Apparently those more in the know than I realised this was going to happen when she was named as number four last year - the standard route to the leadership in the Patrouille. Intriguing explanation from illustrious airshow commentator Sean Maffett here.
Anyway, she's now well and truly the boss...

Curtiss Flying Boat fetches $506,000 at auction from General Aviation News
On April 13 Bonhams New York held a special day of auctions celebrating the history of flight and space exploration, from the earliest experiments to the present day.

CoolPix - Vintage Military: Curtiss-Wright C-46 Commando Cockpit by Martt
Here's a really neat picture of a Curtiss-Wright C-46 Commando cockpit for another CoolPix entry in the 'Vintage Military' category. Big versions of pictures like this are particularly good for spending some time studying how things are laid out. I especially like how you can imagine how open this cockpit would feel since there are second row of windows at the knee and hip areas.
When I was a kid I learned quickly to tell a C-46 from a Douglas C-47 (DC-3) by looking for the crease that runs along the fuselage, the smoothly integrated cockpit windows, and by its chubbier overall look. But back then I ...

Kids break F-16 jet exhibit - NBC-2.com WBBH News
Some kids are awfully tough on an F-16. A science and technology museum in Syracuse, New York, has a full-size F-16 cockpit that controls a one-fifth-scale model of the fighter jet.
But the $145,000 exhibit takes a beating from the sixth-to-eighth graders who visit it.
It's been broken several times since opening in January. ...

Aviation academy gets students up in the air from www.state-journal.com
Aviation Academy students at Frankfort High School have planned fights, climbed into simulators – they've even built their own airplanes.
But they couldn't fly. The school couldn't sponsor flights because of liability concerns.
So Tim Smith, director of the program, and other local aerospace enthusiasts created the Kentucky Institute for Aerospace Education.
The institute hopes to build a $1.5 million facility at the Capital City Airport, to include ...
