DC-3 75 Anniversary Tour from Hiller Aviation Museum
Day 4 – The Last Time | Incredible, unbelievable, awe inspiring. There are not enough adjectives to describe today. It started out with a two hour briefing at 8:30am. That was a long briefing but this is serious business and there is no room for mistakes.
24 DC-3's/C-47's sat patiently on the ramp waiting for the assigned 12:22pm time to start engines. Just minutes before start there was no one on the ramp. It was a little eerie, just magnificent proud airplanes gleaming in the mid-west sun. Then precisely at 12:22 Dan Gryder in the lead DC-3 started to turn ...

Once again I have to hand it to social media for helping me discover an aviation event, this time right in my own back yard.

ST PETERSBURG, Russia – The elusive Russian pilot in the Red Bull Air Race has yet to make the podium but his flying CV is one of the most impressive in the field.

Sicily airports (in the Trapani area) in WWII by David Cenciotti
In 2008, I had the opportunity to fly a mission aboard a SIAI 208M of the Trapani based 37° Stormo of the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force, ItAF) within a SMI (Slow Mover Interceptor) mission. Flying as "I-2009″ we played the role of a Slow Mover and were intercepted by 2 F-16 ADF of the X Gruppo (10° Gruppo) as I later described in the article "Nei panni dello Slow Mover". The flight with the S.208 was extremely interesting: before ...

Making peace with defense coverage from Runway Girl by Mary Kirby
You all know I love talking about, writing about and generally espousing the virtues of the increasingly modern commercial aircraft cabin. But when an air show strikes, I need to be able to jump out of my comfort zone and cover other parts of the industry, including defense, for Flightglobal.
Last week at the Farnborough air show, I had the chance to interview a Eurofighter Typhoon pilot. But even though this video has nothing to do with IFE or interiors (and falls squarely into the 'light and fun' category), I should note that Panasonic Avionics, Thales and Row 44 are all working on new in-flight connectivity solutions for the defense market. Check out Row 44 partner Hughes' new 'Airborne Comms on the Move' video. Thales also had its defense offering on display at its Farnborough chalet.
Now there is where some real money lies....

Thankfully, I'm an associate member of the Road Runners Internationale and the CIA is rather close to our group due to the history of the Road Runners' projects like the U-2 and A-12. The CIA is so kind as to bring their gift shop to our reunions which means I get to shop where very few can ...
