I WANT TO DO WHAT YOU DO from Mike Goulian Airshows by Karin | More often than not the e-mails we receive through our web site asks one of the following questions: "how do I get started", "how do I become an air show pilot", "how do I become a Red Bull Air Racer", and last but not least, "how do I get a sponsor". There are many avenues to get there, but I will share with you my thoughts on "making it" in the sport flying world…

Hiller Aviation Museum - Tomorrow Friday July 23 the Hiller Aviation Museum's DC-3 will depart on an odyssey to join up to 50 other DC-3/C-47's in Oshkosh WI as part of the 75th Anniversary of this magnificent airplane. The journey will take us across the mid west joining up with other DC-3's along the way. It is our intent to blog the trip daily on the mus...eum blog site http://bit.ly/8HTWzK. We are not sure how this modern technology will work on a 1945 airplane but we are going to give it a shot. If anyone is going to be in Oshkosh for the celebration please stop by 97H and say hello!

Can't Make it to Oshkosh? from Leaving Terra Firma by Matt | It's that time of year.  Next week is the aviation event that we all look forward to — Airventure in Oshkosh.  I'm trying to get  my own little pilgrimage together for the last half of the week.  I will be closely following the event all week though.  As a matter of public service, I would like to offer a collection of sites and tools which will allow someone to experience Oshkosh at home…As for non-EAA coverage, I will offer a few of my favorite places.  Avweb will likely offer coverage on their special events page or they will definitely have some coverage in the general feed.  As I saw when writing this post, the guys from UCAP are definitely going to be on hand throughout the week.  Check their site and forums for more info.  I'd be surprised if we didn't hear anything out of Airspeedthe Pilot Cast, or Pilot's Flight Podlog. The Pilots of America forums might also bear examination…

Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago - I had earlier featured US Navy E-2 Hawkeye squadron VAW-77 "Night Wolves" and the crucial role they played during the rescue efforts in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. It turns out that VAW-77 is a very unique squadron within the US Navy on several counts. Though a Reserve unit no different than many of the reserve air units of the different branches of the US military, VAW-77's primary mission is Counter-Illicit Trafficking (CIT) and as such, they are not required to operate from aircraft carriers and therefore its pilots do not have to go through carrier qualifications…

Day 1: American Barnstormers Tour from General Aviation News by Janice Wood - The American Barnstormers Tour, a nostalgic salute to the barnstormers who ventured across America during the 1920s seeking fame and fortune in their biplanes, has made its first stop on a seven-city tour, with 20 restored vintage aircraft from the 1920s and 1930s landing at Mason City Airport (MCW) in Iowa.  Sarah Wilson, who is participating in the tour in her Stearman, is filing reports on the action exclusively for General Aviation News. Here's her first blog: Wind. Each tour has one element that defines it before we arrive and I think for the 2010 Barnstormers Tour it might be wind. On the 2008 tour it was rain. The first stop that year was Iowa City and it had flooded so badly that we had to redirect 18 planes coming from all corners of the country to Ames, Iowa, three days early. Read more...

Blue Skies and a Little Extra Altitude from armygoldenknights's | Luckily, there is air conditioning in the Golden Knights training facility at Laurinburg-Maxton airport in Laurinburg, NC. The temperatures got up to the mid-nineties in the early afternoon, but not even Mother Nature could dampen the motivation and focus of Black Team training day. The Team completed a total of five jumps: two from 3500 feet, two from 12,500 feet, and one from 14,000 feet (the extra altitude was a little treat from the pilots for the last jump of the day)…

Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago | Probably one of the most obscure yet fascinating episodes in the history of jet engine development stemmed from Lockheed's innovative jet-powered L-133 fighter design that was submitted to the USAAF in March 1942. While the fighter design boasted advanced features like a canard and a blended wing-body, the Army Air Forces were more interested in the proposed engines of the L-133 which were to be two axial-flow jet engines designed by Lockheed itself designated L-1000…
