Former Area 51 Employees Reunite, Part Two from Ares by Sean Meade | In a sense, the Roadrunners' visit to Rachel had a covert, psyops dimension. The veterans and the Agency left behind umpteen copies of David Robarge's book on the history of the A-12, subtly introducing the virus of truth into the heart of the alien conspiracy theory establishment. Even after years of the programs' progressively extensive declassification, a dose of uncut reality was clearly in order: in May, a new book purporting to tell the truth about Area 51 took the fictions off in elaborate new directions…
Osprey Down: Marines Shift Story on Controversial Warplane’s Safety Record from Wired: Danger Room by David Axe | It’s an aircraft with a reputation for falling from the sky. But on at least one occasion, the U.S. military’s controversial V-22 Osprey tiltrotor — a hybrid transport that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like an airplane, thanks to its rotating engine nacelles — did just the opposite.

What's foxy and French, and a 'Friend' of Sally B? The Fennec by shortfinals | ‘Sally B and Friends’ at the Imperial War Museum’s Duxford Airfield in Cambridgeshire on July 31st was a thunderous success. There was the thunder of heavy piston engines, with several unique formations flying by (B-17, DC-3, Beech 18, Beech Staggerwing, for example) and thunderous applause from the crowd for everything from the aerobatic displays to the period music. I was delighted to be there, and I can confidently state despite the fact that it was billed as ‘not a flying display’, that I have attended flying displays that had less flying (especially warbirds), and much less in the way of ‘ground entertainment’ including period vehicles, re-enactors in uniform and music of the WW2 era…
