Speech at Fitchburg Airport, MA from Mike Goulian Airshows
May 11, 2010 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Mark your calendar: Mike Goulian to speak on Tuesday evening, May 11th in Fitchburg, MA
Topic: Earning a living by performing and racing in the air show and air race industries is certainly a high-risk environment. To stay alive, there must be a safety culture ingrained in the industry as well as the teams. Mike will show how he and the event organizers make daily adjustments to ensure they stay ahead of the hidden risks inherent in these high-risk environments. Mike will also relate how the safety culture within his team could help the typical general aviation pilot stay safe.
When: Tuesday, May 11th | Location: Bullock Hangar, Fitchburg Municipal Airport, Fitchburg, MA | Time: 6:00pm food, 7:00pm meeting/speech

From the decks of World War II aircraft carriers to today's airshow circuit-the journey of a Royal Australian Navy Fairey Firefly.
EDDIE KURDZIEL TALKS LIKE HE FLIES--FAST. A FORMER U.S. NAVY AVIATOR accustomed to the cockpits of carrier-based jets, he aims rapid-fire hangar talk at fellow pilots and sunburned airshow-goers alike—and it's all about his current passion: a beautifully restored Fairey Firefly.
Kurdziel is refreshingly egalitarian, a rare trait in a world of millionaires and their roped-off warbirds. At last September's Reno International Air Races, attendees could poke their heads into the Firefly's wheel wells, run their hands along its glossy gray finish, and even climb aboard—an ...

Any male formation aerobatic team leaders out there anymore? from Unusual Attitude

You'll recall how the Red Arrows and Patrouille de France both announced their first female pilots last year, and then the Patrouille confirmed the appointment of a female leader this year.
Well, now it turns out that Canada's Snowbirds have gone the same route. So congratulations to Lt Col Maryse Carmichael who is their new ...
