Event Promoting is Everyone's Business from Successful Event Promoting by Linda Sparks | Paul is technically "the organizer" but he's not in charge of promotion. Promotion is someone else's job.  Clearly though he has oversight for the area and a tremendous amount of interest.  Let's face it, as organizer he can plan and organize a remarkable event, but if ultimately it is poorly attended, his hard work (and major investments in programming) will be underappreciated.  AND without adequate ticket sales, net proceeds will be weak, and that puts next year's event into jeopardy as well…

A Real Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Is In The Air!
by Martt | The last time this airplane flew was July 19th, 1943. What that means is this is a 'real' German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 rather than the replicas that have surfaced in the last several years. Any Fw 190 is amazing, but to know that there is an actual example that's been faithfully restored is pretty phenomenal. The first flight actually took place about a month ago, with veteran race and warbird test pilot Steve Hinton at the controls, but since I somehow missed it when it happened, I thought you may have too…

Project Palladium: Testing Soviet Radars from Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago | When the Lockheed U-2 made its first overflight of the Soviet Union on 4 July 1956, it was common knowledge that its apparent invulnerability was time-limited as advances in Soviet air defense systems were sure to eventually bring one down. In fact, USAF analysts were in the planning stages of a replacement to the U-2 long before it even made its first flight. The first such study was for an exotic liquid hydrogen powered aircraft called Suntan from Lockheed which ended up getting canceled in 1959 at the urgings of its designer, the legendary Kelly Johnson. Running parallel to the Suntan which was an Air Force project, the CIA had two studies going for a U-2 replacement- one was a subsonic design code named Gusto and the other was a supersonic design that ultimately became Oxcart…
