LiveAirShowTV Posts Part 2 of the Reno Air Races Overview

OCTOBER 5, 2010 – PFLUGERVILLE, TX – LiveAirShowTV announces Part 2 of the 2010 Reno Air Races Overview video. It is now posted on our YouTube channel: www.YouTube.com/user/LiveAirShowTV. This is an expanded look at what happened on Saturday and Sunday of race week. There are several interviews that you will only see at LiveAirShowTV. Find out what Patty Wagstaff is doing now. Hear about Clay Lacy’s first trip to the Reno Air Races in 1964, as well as several of the racers just minutes after they landed.

“We were in the right places this year to get the story from the key players at Reno, said LiveAirShowTV President Jeff Lee. “Our team really worked to get in position for the best coverage at Stead Field.”

“The most terrifying moment was when Super Sport pilot George Giboney called a mayday and headed for runway 26, and straight at our camera position,” Lee continued. “We were standing at the back of the Jet class planes on the ramp, and George was coming down fast and pointed in our direction. Race fans may have seen a series of stills, or shaky video from the grandstands. We were about 100 yards from him and caught the entire incident.”

The Reno Air Racing Association has given us clearance to show the entire clip and fans will see it both in real time, and slow-motion. In addition to the definitive video of the mishap, we have the only broadcast interview with George Giboney after being released from the medical facility inside the Thunder Mustang Hangar. Chief Warrant Officer 2 Bryan Lee, son of Jeff Lee, showed the clip to George on our camera and he was amazed at how it happened. He told Bryan that everyone should see this clip to see how the airframe did its job.

LiveAirShowTV continues to break ground with air show coverage. Air show fans are watching our stories and are learning that when they want the real story, there is only one place to go and that’s LiveAirShowTV!

Watch for more stories from the Reno Air Races, Smokey Young’s historic speed record, the Colorado Sport International Air Show, go inside a UH-60 Blackhawk simulator at Fort Hood, TX, and see the CAF’s B-29 “FiFi” fly in an air show for the first time in years.

Flight Line Internet Radio Continues to Grow

Internet radio makes big impression on the aviation industry as Flight Line Internet Radio surpasses 1,000,000 and continues to grow.
Flight Line internet Radio (FLiR), launched in October of 2008 is pleased to announce that they have exceeded 1,000,000 visitors to their website last month. 

Flight Line Internet Radio is a radio station that caters to aviation enthusiasts. FLiR is a 24/7 internet based radio station that has a global reach, with various topical segments that will entertain almost anyone that enjoys flight.  The radio station follows a general format of a traditional local radio station, mixing topical segments with music and normal radio commercials.  The concept is to attract listeners because of their hobby or passion instead of their geographical location.

Flight Line Radio is a partnership of Jamie Till and Don Costanza.  Both Don and Jamie are Fort Wayne Indiana natives with diverse backgrounds and a passion for all things aviation related. They have been providing a unique radio service to many major venues such as “Airventure” and “The Indianapolis Air Show” as well as many other non-aviation events for over four years.

“We set out to build something that would compliment our core program as well as be interesting to aviation enthusiasts, something that could be the “background music” in their office, shop, or FBO.” states Jamie Till.  The station carries news and commentary from several prominent aviation podcasters, several specialty shows as well as articles from “GA News.”  “The Indy Transponder” is a daily contributor, providing top of the hour overviews of aviation entertainment news.

“We continually strive to forge new relationships with exciting content providers as well as furthering our long-standing relationships with those we currently work with. Our organization has been extremely thrilled by the response within the aviation community.  We are honored by the support given to us by the listeners and our contributors and we knew that this would be popular, but we had no idea that it would grow this big, this fast. The station has listeners from all over the world. It is pretty amazing. What is equally amazing is that it doesn’t show signs of slowing done.”  said Don.

Flight Line internet Radio surpassed 100,000 visitors in less than 4 months of operation and 200,000 two months later.  “We have reached a point now that we are comfortable with our capabilities and with the interest level from the aviation community.  We have attracted an audience that seems to be hungry for our product as well as a conduit to promote some very unique content from some very talented individuals and we think that advertisers will recognize the value of our service as well.” states Don.

Addison Texas Spartan from Another Time by Dan Linn
I made a visit to Addison airport, North of Dallas, last week to attend the FLYING magazine Parade of Planes. While I was there I was able to arrange a visit to see Spartan Executive s/n 26. Very clean, very nice. The metal is nice and straight... not a dent or a ding in the clean light gray and blue paint scheme. In talking with the owner, Bobby Lett, he suspected that since this ship flew with the military it has been wearing full paint since it left the service. S/N 26 was in the service from 1943-1945. It flew in the USAAC as 42-38266 . The Des Moines Register newspaper was its first owner and it was fully polished when it left Spartan…

Subscribe to Airspeed through iTunes or your favorite other podcatcher. It's all free! These are the show notes to an audio episode. You can listen online right here by clicking: http://media.libsyn.com/media/airspeed/AirspeedIndy.mp3. It’s time for the annual Airspeed prelude to the airshow season! This year, we talk to Roger Bishop, the chairman of the Indianapolis Airshow. Many of us go to airshows, but too few of us appreciate what goes on months and even years before show day to bring you the experience. We got the inside story from Roger about what it’s like to schedule acts, attend the ICAS meeting, coordinate volunteers, plan for general aviation arrivals and departures, and make the whole thing come together seamlessly on the show days. Roger is also heavily involved with the Indy Transponder, a premier aerotainment news and information site and we talk about what goes into maintaining and growing that resource.

Amateur rocket rules - easier on most, harder on some from RLV and Space Transport News

So a company can launch a rocket under the amateur rules just as a weekend rocketeers can if the performance parameters of their rockets put them within the amateur category…

Aviation New Media Meetup

Aviation New Media Meetup from Thirty Thousand Feet Blog by Max Flight

Courtney Miller and I hosted an online gathering of aviation new media types on Sunday, August 10, 2008. Participating were aviation podcasters, bloggers, and social community people who talked about their current online activities and their plans for the future.

While these communities relate to aviation, they really span a variety of purposes and media types. I don’t think there is a lot of overlap between them in terms of content and style – they’ve all got something different to appeal to aviation professionals and enthusiasts.

One thing the creators of these sites did seem to share was a strong passion for aviation and bringing content to others. It’s all about involvement and community, sharing interests and knowledge, and engaging the audience where possible.

You’ll hear the following on the podcast:

Roger Bishop and Mike Souders from the Indy Transponder blog.
Rod Rakic from the myTransponder.com aviation social community.
Harry Love from the Jetrecord site.
Pilot Will and Daveflys from The Pilots Flight PodLog.
Dan Webb from the Dan Webb blog.
Rob Mark from the Jetwhine blog.
Ted Erickson from the AviationBull blog.
Stephen Force from the Airspeed podcast.
Bill Williams from the Student Pilot Cast podcast.
Dr. Todd Curtis from AirSafe.com and the Conversation at AirSafe.com podcasts.
Court Miller and Max Flight from the Airplane Geeks Podcast.

The session was carried live on the TalkShoe service and is available for download now as Episode 10 of the Airplane Geeks Podcast.

Listen, enjoy, be motivated, and join in. Max

Where is the Best Aviation Blog? from Jetwhine by Robert Mark
As much as stay awake at night wondering how many people around the globe are clicking through the stories here at Jetwhine, I know we are only one small fish in the sea of people who think they know just about everything when it comes to air travel. So as a public service - and because the curiosity is simply keeping me awake at night - I hope you’ll tell us here at Jetwhine what other aviation blogs you read and why. They might be about air travel, or ATC, or airline flying or learning to fly. Your choice. Why Bother? Seriously, blogging is all about sharing the conversation with others. If you check out our blogroll here on the right, you’ll find some of the blogs I read. What about you? Let’s gather them up and I’ll post a final list before the blogger-fest at AirVenture next month.
