Homestead’s Fighters from Travel for Aircraft
The Homestead Air Reserve Base is an installation of the U.S. Air Force. Occasionally I’ve seen F-16 Falcons flying out of there, but I don’t know the base or its mission. I do know that at a little used gate the base has two excellent static displays, “gate guardians”, fighter aircraft mounted atop pylons. One is from the modern day, a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. The other is from the Vietnam era and is historic, ...

One of the best designers of small, economical airplanes has always been Al Mooney. Long before the efficient M20 series, Mooney was building small, efficient airplanes during the 1930s. There are already quite a few of Al Mooney’s designs in our hangars including a pair of Mites and a few Culver Cadets. So we ...

Two beautiful pictures from the region of Edessa - Fox2Nuts & Bolts: Deadly work of ‘Ice Pilots’ from Calgary Recreational and Ultralight Flying Club
During the first few weeks of launching this column, I spoke to one of the cameramen who brave life
and limb to capture the perfect shots for Deadliest Catch. Eric Lange described how none of the cameramen on Catch are bolted or strapped in to their spots on the crab boats careening around the Bering Sea. Looking through eye pieces, they attempt to film while chaos occurs around them. Waves crash over the boats, decks become slippery with ice and water, hydraulics spin crab pots mere feet above their heads. A day without an injury — or a death — is considered a victory. ...
