Superpowers unite! from U.S. Air Force Live - For the "Iron Man 2" film, Marvel chose to incorporate the War Machine and the character of Air Force Lt Col Rhodes, played by Don Cheadle.  Because of this, we were presented with a unique opportunity to carry over the Air Force markings on the War Machine from the storyline on the screen to the marketing of the film on their Website.  Just like in the film, we were able to place the Air Force logo on War Machine (as well as the AFMC patch, the text "AF 47″ and the old Air Force heritage logo), and extend the USAF markings into the marketing of the film through the official film's website…

Fighter Friday: F-18 Hornet and Super Hornet from I Love Planes by Rafael - The F-18 came from the competition for a new attack fighter that the US Air Force held back in the 70s.

Group Hopes To Pull "Oldest" P-38 From UK Beach from AVwebFlash Current Issue - Lost during a training mission in 1942, a Lockheed P-38 Lightning was first revealed by shifting sands at Gwynedd, UK, in 2007; now a recovery team aims extract the aircraft, in whole, from its partially submerged spot. The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) began looking after the aircraft when it was discovered three years ago. The aircraft was identified as the Maid of Harlech, which was flown by Second Lieutenant Robert Elliot. The Lieutenant walked away from the crash that eventually saw the aircraft buried, but was reported missing in action three months later while flying in Tunisia. His "Maid" is now thought to be perhaps the oldest surviving P-38 airframe. As such, museums are in discussions with TIGHAR over hosting the aircraft. But removal of the seriously eroded airframe, from its sand-and-seawater home of 68 years, won't be easy…
