INDIANAPOLIS, Thursday, Aug. 18, 2011 - World-renowned Red Bull aerobatic and air race pilot Kirby Chambliss and Red Bull motorcycle stunt riders Geoff Aaron and Aaron Colton will provide thrilling pre-race entertainment before the world's best motorcycle racers race Sunday, Aug. 28 at the Red Bull Indianapolis GP at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Chambliss will fly his Zivko Edge 540 airplane during his air show performance at 1:15 p.m. over the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course, featuring a variety of stalls, rolls and loops that have thrilled fans for years. Chambliss is a five-time U.S. National Aerobatic Champion and has won numerous individual and team silver and bronze medals at the FAI World Aerobatic Championships. He is also a two-time Red Bull Air Race World Champion.
Also on hand to entertain fans on Race Morning will be 10-time AMA National Trials champion Aaron, who will perform at 10:05 a.m., 11:50 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Vendor Marketplace located in the IMS infield just east of Gasoline Alley.
Aaron will ride his motorcycle over a variety of ramps and obstacles, in addition to performing wheelies and other tricks. Named the AMA Amateur Athlete of the Year and AMA Sports Athlete of the Year in 2000, Aaron was named the AMA Sports Athlete of the Year for the second time in 2006.
The tricks will be taken to even greater levels when streetbike freestyler extraordinaire Colton performs at 10:15 a.m. on the front straightaway at IMS.
Colton will complete a variety of wheelies on his front and back tires, in addition to a number of other stunts on his bike. Colton has won a number of high-profile competitions during his career, including the 2008 XDL Indy GP Individual Freestyle and the 2008 Starboyz Stuntfest Individual Freestyle.

U.S. military to be honored on Indianapolis 500 Race Day, including historic second flyover!
U.S. MILITARY TO BE HONORED ON INDIANAPOLIS 500 RACE DAYHistoric second flyover taking place after checkered flag
INDIANAPOLIS, Tuesday, May 24, 2011 - The Indianapolis Motor Speedway will continue its long-standing tradition of honoring the United States military during pre-race ceremonies for the 100th Anniversary Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 29, and a first-time event after the race also will pay tribute.
After the checkered flag falls, a special second flyover recognizing the 100th anniversary of U.S. Navy aviation will take place. A formation of U.S. Navy aircraft consisting of one A-4 Skyhawk and a T-2C Buckeye will soar over the track followed by the Navy flyover of four F/A-18E Super Hornets from Strike Fighter Squadrons 105 from Oceana, Va. and 137 from Lemoore, Calif. Representing the Navy at the Indianapolis 500 will be Vice Admiral Al Myers, USN, Commander, U.S. Naval Air Force.
"The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" has paid tribute to the troops since the inaugural event on Decoration Day - now known as Memorial Day - May 30, 1911.
Salutes to the military occupy many special moments during the pomp and pageantry of pre-race ceremonies on Race Day.
Military members march in uniform down the front straightaway. Large American flags have been unfurled in the infield during the performance of the national anthem, and a military rifle team fires a volley to honor fallen comrades. Florence Henderson also traditionally sings "America the Beautiful" to honor America and the troops.
General Peter W. Chiarelli, Vice Chief of Staff, United States Army, will give a speech honoring the U.S. Armed Forces during pre-race ceremonies. Chiarelli also will meet with the 400 service members and approximately 40 Wounded Warriors who will be on hand for the "500."
Global music superstars and Grammy Award winners David Foster, Seal and Kelly Clarkson will perform the national anthem during pre-race ceremonies for the 100th Anniversary Indianapolis 500 on May 29.
Seal and Clarkson will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" as a duet, accompanied by Foster on piano. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces will stand at attention beside Foster's grand piano during the performance.
The traditional flyover during the national anthem this year will feature a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, also known as a "Stealth Bomber."
Following the national anthem will be one of the most poignant tributes to America's veterans during pre-race ceremonies when a lone bugler plays "Taps."
Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Bruce P. Crandall will serve as the honorary starter, waving the green flag to begin racing for the field of 33 drivers.
Retired Col. Crandall, who flew more than 900 missions as a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War, received the Congressional Medal of Honor - the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government - in 2007.

Airport Fire Indianapolis (KIND) Multi-Million Dollar Losses
 |
| Photo: WTHR.com |
Indianapolis Fire Department. Sunday November 7, 2010.
Two workers inside an airport hangar evacuated safely this morning when fire broke out inside the building. The workers are employees of ComLux, who maintains and refurbished airplanes inside Hangar 5, at the old Indianapolis Airport Location.
Airport firefighters were dispatched to 2640 Cargo Dr at 8:54 for a possible building fire. Upon arrival, they reported smoke showing from the roof, with fire showing on the southeast side of the building. Making a quick investigation and attack on the fire, they quickly realized they needed additional help and called for a second alarm at 9:13 am. Units from IFD, Decatur, Wayne, responded. A call for a 3rd alarm was sounded one minute later at 9:14 am. This brought units from Plainfield as well as IFD Hazmat and Decon. A total of 40 fire units are involved in battling this blaze.
Firefighters have been working for a little over three hours to contain the fire, cut if off from extension and do it in as safely as possible given the unknown contents of the building at the outset. According to CE0 of the Indianapolis Division of Comlux, David Edinger (53), the building currently houses 3 private planes (owned by clients of Comlux), an upholstery shop, and other refurbishing work areas normally found in shops such as this. Originally, firefighters were concerned about jet fuel in the building, but later learned that fuel from planes brought into the building is off loaded prior to entry.
According to Mr. Edinger, Comlux subleases this building from the Indianapolis Airport Authority and has for 2 years. The corrugated steel, multilevel structure, is about the size of a football field.
Utilizing aerial ladders, hand lines and thousands of feet of supply line, firefighters have diligently worked to get ahead of this blaze. Using K12 saws to cut though the metal deck roof and stop the fire that is traveling quickly along the rubber and tar roof firefighters remain frustrated in their efforts. Four times since this fire began, firefighters thought they had the fire under control. 9:22/10:15/10:33/11:33. Each time, they found a hot spot of fire that caused them to re-direct and continue with the aggressive firefight. At this time firefighters are continuing to work on hot spots, especially in the roof membrane. At 10:21 am, firefighters on the interior reported to command that 2nd floor had collapsed on the southeast corner.
No injuries have been reported on this fire. Per commands orders, all firefighters entering the structure are being de-contaminated once they exit. IFD/IMPD fire investigators have been called in to assist with the investigation of the fire.
Update: Sun Nov 07 12:26:33 2010 - According to airport officials, the tentative dollar loss to the 30,000 square foot building is seven million dollars. That does not include damage to any of the planes inside that may have occurred. The number of planes inside the building was upgraded to 5 as well.

Flying the Boom - A Ride with the 72nd Air Refueling Squadron from Let's Go Flying by Steve Tupper
If you ask SSgt Jason Bireley what he does for a living, he might say that he lies on his belly and passes gas. SSgt Bireley doesn't give me the impression of a guy who'd actually put it that way, but it's true in a sense. He's a refueling boom operator on the KC-135R Stratotankers of the 72nd Air Refueling Squadron/434th Air Refueling Wing based at Grissom Air Reserve Base near Peru, Indiana.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to ride along on a refueling mission over the Carolinas with SSgt Bireley, fellow boom operator MSgt Scott Ward, Pilot LtCol Thom Pemberton, and copilot 2Lt Jacob Creel. I rode along with about a half dozen local media personalities to get a look at what the 434th does on training lights like this. ...
