Friday Night Airshow At Sun n' Fun 2010 by Martt
... The Aerostars team in their Yak 50 aircraft flying in the twilight and looking great. The Aeroshell team flew in a darker sky and Matt Younkin's sky was basically black. The sight and sound of the Twin Beech covered in lights and pouring out huge smoke was certainly spectacular.
There were several other aircraft that flew in the night airshow including a sailplane and a helicopter. I'm pretty sure this is the biggest effort by SNF to do a night airshow and it seemed to be very well attended. I think the crowd enjoyed the wide variety of aircraft and the relaxed nature of the presentation. The cool night air felt great, and the sliver of the Moon in the western sky was a beautiful sight.
After a driving trip that took me exactly 24 hours elapsed time, the SNF Friday night airshow was a great way to get my first experiences of Sun n' Fun 2010. Watch for more updates tomorrow.

Lindbergh Prize Promotes Alternative Aviation from AVweb Top News
Erik Lindbergh came to Sun 'n Fun this week to promote his latest project, the Lindbergh Electric Aircraft Prize. He told AVweb he hopes the prize will help boost efforts to create technology that will enable pilots to fly more safely and cheaply, while using renewable and sustainable resources. The prize will be awarded for the first time this year, at AirVenture Oshkosh. "We don't want a $4 million prototype," he said. "We want something that's going to make electric flight more accessible to the average pilot." Lindbergh said there is a lot of disagreement among experts in the field about the problems and potential for the technology, but some of his advisors think it would be possible to power an aircraft like a Cessna 172 with an electric motor within seven years. "That's the kind of progress we'd like to see," Lindbergh said. You can hear more about Lindbergh's ideas and the challenges and potential of alternative technologies in AVweb's podcast feature.
