I'd never even heard of these guys... so I'm guessing there's a chance you haven't either. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Golden Hawks aerobatic team was formed in 1959.

The first video below will give you a pretty good idea of just how sharp these guys were in their Canadair built F-86 Sabres. Don't let the old-school, warpy 'film' music scare you, it's an awesome video. ...

The Huey by Arthur Sullivan
Mention the Vietnam War to someone in the United States and for many the image that comes to mind is the Bell UH-1 Iroquois. There is perhaps no greater connection in the collective American conscious between a war and a piece of equipment. The UH-1 is most commonly called the Huey in reference to its original designation, the HU-1.The museum’s Huey sits in Hangar One, which is undergoing some very interesting changes. The work we have been doing in the hangar has given me the opportunity to spend some time around our Huey over the past few days. The Huey is an amazing helicopter with a military service life that began with the Army in the 1960s and continues on today with the Marine Corps and in limited numbers with the Air Force. I find it almost impossible to walk by it without feeling a sense of pride and nostalgia. ...

35 years of sharing our passion with pilots and having fun from John and Martha King
John and Martha in Alaska You have to wonder what our 35th anniversary means to you. We think the answer can be summed up in the words, “clear, simple and fun”. It all started with our flying our own airplane around the country teaching weekend ground schools for 10 years (more about that here). During those years we stood face-to-face with over 10 thousand pilots and watched their reactions as we made our explanations. In those days we got the test results from the FAA for each class. We desperately wanted to do our very best for these pilots, and seeing their reactions and getting immediate feedback was the perfect formula for refining our teaching. ...
