Air Force Museum Gets No. 2: Retired Lt. Gen. John Hudson, former commander of the Aeronautical Systems Center, has been named to fill the newly created position of deputy director of the National Museum of the United States Air Force on the grounds of Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. In this role, Hudson, a 1973 Air Force Academy graduate who retired from active duty service in October, will assist with planning, organizing, and directing not only NMUSAF's operation, but the entire Air Force museum system, according to Wright-Patterson officials. His duties will also include the responsibility, as delegated by the Air Force Secretary, for the preservation of the service's "material culture." Creation of the deputy director position reflects the continuing growth of the NMUSAF and its "inestimable value" to the Air Force, the officials said

A low-wing, tail-dragger design, the I-250 had its cockpit set well back on the fuselage, behind a Klimov M-107 piston engine that drove a three-bladed propellor. The composite nature of the powerplant was ...
F8U-3 - Dataview Publishing
Although clearly a member of the Crusader family, the F8U-3 was in all respects a virtually new aircraft. The design reflected the Navy's shift towards fighters armed with the beyond visual range Sparrow missile, and could carry a trio of the big AAMs on fuselage stations.. The aircraft retained the basic Crusader planform, but was larger and considerably heavier, being powered by a Pratt & Whitney J75 in place of the F8U's J57.
John Konrad, who had flown the XF8U-1 prototype, took the first XF8U-3 aloft from Edwards AFB on 2 June 1958. The Super Crusader ...

The reindeer took a Saturday off and the sleigh got a polishing as Santa and two elves arrived in Twin Falls Saturday by helicopter. It's not the first time that pilot Tim Allen of Reeder Flying Service flew the portly toy mogul into Magic Valley Regional Airport with children waiting to tell him what they wanted.

EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wis. - (Jan. 5, 2011) - Many of the world's top air show performers have already given early confirmations to participate at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2011, "The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration," on July 25-31 at Wittman Regional Airport.
"Each of these performers work as a headline act at air shows throughout the country, but they come together at EAA AirVenture to make an all-star roster of the 'best of the best,'" said Tom Poberezny, EAA and AirVenture chairman, who flew as a member of the renowned Eagles Aerobatic Team and was named to the International Council of Air Shows Hall of Fame in 2009. "Air show performers are eager to fly at Oshkosh because it represents a major achievement in their careers, flying in front of the most knowledgeable and appreciative audiences on the air show circuit."
"Each afternoon's showcase and air show create a daily attraction that simply cannot be seen anywhere else but EAA AirVenture,"
