May 6 from Cut and Paste Aviation
... 1937 -- The Hindenburg, the famous German dirigible, is destroyed by fire and an explosion of an unknown origin during landing proceedings at NAS Lakehurst, New Jersey. 36 people lost their lives.
803 feet long, more than that of three 747s, the hydrogen-filled LZ 129 Hindenburg rigid airship began its journey across the Atlantic in Frankfurt, Germany on May 3rd. Headwinds enroute and then poor conditions in the Lakehurst area delay the arrival more than 12 hours, finally approaching to moor just after 7:00 p.m. While ground crews attempt to secure the airship, flames are spotted just forward of the vertical fin. The fire spreads very quickly, engulfing the entire airship in less than a minute, crashing it to the ground in a massive fireball. Though the exact cause is uncertain, a sudden wind change from east to southwest meant a late S-turn correction needed to be made in the final minutes of flight. This may have caused strain on the aircraft, snapping a support line and ripping open a gas cell, sparking the fire from the leaking hydrogen. ...

Super-Er Hornets? from Ares
Boeing and its teammates are getting bolder in talking about improvements to the Super Hornet and Growler - a development which coincides with debate over the cost and schedule of the Joint Strike Fighter.
At this week's Navy League show in Washington DC, Boeing unveiled an early concept mock-up of a big-screen cockpit for the Super Hornet, aimed at export customers. It looks rather like the JSF cockpit, except that Boeing plans to use one-piece screens rather than two fused panels. Also, rather than eliminating the head-up display completely, ...
Re-Packing the Acro Camp Parachutes with Todd Ames from AcroCamp
I spent a little time out at the Aviation Station at KPTK (the home base for Acro Camp) last night with parachute rigger Todd Ames. Two of the chutes that we’re going to use were coming due for their re-packing and I wanted to get an idea of what the guts of a parachute look like and how the repacking process works.
We set up tables in the hangar and then Todd performed the repacking. I filmed the process for the movie and shot stills as well. ...
