The streamlined decade from General Aviation News by Dennis Parks | During the decade of the Great Depression, the streamlined form stood as an optimistic symbol of progress and efficiency. Streamlining was applied to cars, trains, ships, buildings, and even household appliances. This new idiom replaced the angular, art deco forms of the 1920s. By the mid-1920s aircraft construction was in need of a new design approach. With the availability of engines with 200 to 350 horsepower, aircraft were flying faster, but not in proportion to the increase in power. With all the higher turbulent flow being experienced at higher speeds due to common design practices of the time, a reduction in drag became important to improved performance. So in the era between the middle 1920s and middle 1930s, streamlining came into its own in aircraft design...

SPARKLING START TO AIR TATTOO PREVIEW
Gloucestershire today (Tuesday, May 29). Members of the RAF Falcons parachute display team unfurled a Diamond Jubilee flag as they drifted down to earth from 3,000ft at a special preview of the Royal International Air Tattoo.
The world's biggest military airshow, which will take place on July 7 and 8, is this year celebrating HM the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and a sparkling display of aircraft touched down to publicise this summer's event.
Children's tv presenter Barney Harwood flew in as the day's special guest, arriving in style courtesy of an RAF Hawk flown by Fairford-born display pilot Flt Lt Phil Bird.
The logo on the flag delivered by the RAF Falcons had been chosen from thousands of entries in a children's design competition run by the BBC's Blue Peter programme, and presenter Barney performed the official raising of the flag, accompanied by the Fanfare team from the Band of the RAF Regiment.
Barney said: "I got my first Airfix kit at the age of eight, and that was a Hawk, so it was incredible to actually fly in one. It relays the message that anything is possible: I used to work in a kennels and now here I am in an RAF jumpsuit. It's such a beautiful aircraft and it was so exciting to fulfil a lifelong ambition."
Five spectacular aircraft touched down at the Gloucestershire airbase, including a Chipmunk with a royal
connection - WP903, painted in the bright colours of the Royal Flight, is the actual two-seater trainer aircraft in which Prince Charles learnt to fly – and an RAF Tucano, painted in special Diamond Jubilee livery.A deHavilland Vampire T11, which entered service with the RAF 60 years ago, was also on show, while a US Air Force MC-130 Hercules, operated by US Special Forces, also flew in, symbolising the close links between the airshow and the USAF.
Air Tattoo Chief Executive Tim Prince said: "It's been
great to provide a preview of what's in store in July, as we have an exceptional line-up of aircraft. As well as a special mass flypast of Hawks in an E II R formation, the Air Tattoo will feature seven aerobatic display teams including Al Fursan, a newly-formed team from the United Arab Emirates who'll be making their European debut at the airshow. "Two countries, Colombia and South Korea, will be making their Air Tattoo debuts, the iconic Avro Vulcan will be here to thrill the crowds, and many of the world's top fast jets will also be joining us in July. The world really is coming to Fairford this year – make sure you don't miss out on the action."

Alaska Kids Build A Plane from AVwebFlash Current Issue | A group of students at Chevak High School, located on the remote Alaskan tundra, worked together over the winter to build a Rans S-6s Coyote II experimental aircraft from a kit, and flew it for the first time on March 24.

Ryan Walker, a teacher at the school who is a CFI and A&P, bought the kit and guided the class as they built the aircraft.

With changing the way I do airshows next year, what better way to go out, the old way, than this one. The 2010 RAF Leuchars airshow.

I elected to catch the service bus from St. Andrews bus station on a every 15min basis. However, things did not work out the way I and other airshow 'punters' on the bus had hoped for. We were told that because of the 4 mile tail-jam, the bus would be re-routed via elsewhere. So we had to alight for the show about a mile away fom Leuchars rail station, opposite the base. ...

RAF Harrier Crash Landing In Kandahar from I Love Planes by Rafael | This is some seriously scary video of an RAF Harrier having a hard landing in Kandahar. This clip shows why pilots say that this plane is a "widow maker." Not because it kills so many enemy pilots, but because it has the propensity to want to bite whomever is at the controls. Luckily, the pilot ejects before the plane is engulfed in flames. From what I can tell, the pilot appears to be in good shape after punching out. Yes, there was live ammunition on the plane. From the date in the video, it looks like this crash happened last year. If you have any extra information about this crash, leave a note in the comments or email me from the contact form…

CoolPix- Racers: Strega (Italian For Witch) In The Pit At Reno 2009 by Martt
Here's a CoolPix in the 'Racers' category... and it's another pic I took at Reno 2009. I thought it was particularly interesting because of the witch that's hanging from the roof over the business end of the P-51 Strega, the 2009
Unlimited Gold Race Champion.I'm guessing many of you already knew that 'Strega' is the Italian word for 'witch'. It was new to me, but I don't think I'll have any trouble remembering now after this pic! And while I don't think Strega was tapping into any supernatural powers at Reno 2009, there's no doubt there was a lot of horsepower involved. With 22 year old Steve Hinton Jr in the cockpit, Strega had both the strength and the endurance to come out on top. It was pretty special too as Steve is the youngest winner ever of the Gold Unlimited Race. ...
