Near miss at royal event fly-past - Two microlights accidentally flew into the airspace of the Queen's birthday fly-past near Oxford, an air proximity report has revealed. by Diamond Pilots
The fly-past was about to disperse when pilots saw the microlights
Two microlights accidentally flew into the airspace of the Queen's birthday fly-past near Oxford, an air proximity report has revealed.
The small aircraft found themselves in the flight-path of 26 military planes.
It happened 10 miles north of RAF Benson last June. The pilots are thought to have made an error of judgment.
The Civil Aviation Authority said the actions of the military fly-past pilots had prevented a collision.
'Unsound airmanship'
The formation included six RAF Typhoons, four Tornados and a host of other RAF aircraft including C-17 transporters.
Airspace was restricted for 35 minutes, from the ground to 2,500 feet up, for the formation to pass through.

Real-life action hero Harrison Ford takes to the skies as pilot of his planes by Diamond Pilots on 11/20/09
By Daily Mail Reporter
He was no stranger to daring feats when he played intrepid adventurer Indiana Jones.
And even now - at the grand age of 67 - actor Harrison Ford is still up for a bit of action, as these pictures of him taking to the skies of California show.
The keen pilot flew two of his own planes today - a 12-seater Cessna and a bright yellow Aviat A-1C-20 - which he keeps at Santa Monica Airport.
The star takes his passion for piloting seriously - even becoming the face of an aviation industry campaign 'General Aviation Serves America', launched by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association earlier this year.
Ford began flying private planes in the 1960s but the pastime reportedly proved too costly and he was forced to drop his lessons. ...

WW2-Era Downsview Hangars to be Saved? by Diamond Pilots
For the first time in a very long time, a story about architectural heritage looks like it might have a happy - and relatively swift - ending. Nearly a month ago, two WW2-era airplane hangars on what was once an active air force base in Downsview began to be demolished, but thanks to their prominent location, they got noticed by the right people.
Built by De Havilland of Canada in the final years of the war, the two massive airplane hangars were once located among farms, miles away from Toronto's city limits, but today they're near the intersection of Dufferin and Sheppard streets, just south of the 401 and north of the Allen Expressway, just across the street from the Downsview terminus of the Spadina subway line. They're hard to miss, and it's no surprise that they caught the attention of Paul Oberman, a property developer notable for his willingness to take on and restore heritage properties.

I know that many Rotorheads have done this sort of flying many times, and are far more knowledgeable about the area, so just enjoy the views as much as I did…
