AirShow from Technorati
Being that this is mine and Michael's week of "lasts,"..i.e. last Friday night without a baby, last Saturday without a baby, etc., I decided to make the most of our weekend with a trip to the Air Show. We could have probably just watched it from the house. This was the view from my back deck. However, I decided to treat Michael to the show and bought the tickets. We saw planes and helicopters, ate "fair" food, and planted ourselves for a pretty interesting show with planes looping the sky ...

from AVIATION-NEWS by Marcel van Leeuwen

Halloween - Part I from PGNews by admin
December 17th, 1903, is the long recognized birth date of aviation, when the Wright brothers launched their spindly mechanical contraption into the winds at the Kill Devil Hills in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. On that freezing December morning, a bright star was born, and three more controlled short flights were made. But after the fourth flight of the day, with success well established and history made, a howling gust of wind flipped the Wright Flyer over and sent it tumbling down the dunes, destroying it in the process ...

Dawn’s Early Light from PGNews by admin
... I love an air show in the morning. Before the sunrise, before the grills fire up for the barbecued turkey legs and fajitas. Before the crowds, before the noise and thunder and heat, before the frantic activity of launching and landing and marshalling, before the complex dance of flying smoke and acrobatic whifferdills ...

Role Models and Rocket from PGNews by admin
If you’ve been fans of the Plane-Girls for any length of time, you know that we started out as a calendar company, peddling bikini girls and airplanes. And when the girls began to fly, they changed the course of the company from cute girls posing with airplanes to real women who really fly. ...

Video - “Roadable Aircraft” to be built from Flightstory.net - Aviation Blog by Michael
Again someone tries to build a “flying car”. A company called Terrafugia Inc., located in the state of Massachusetts, is building the so called “Transition”, a roadable aircraft. The light plane is designed to change configurations, enabling it to operate as a traditional vehicle on public roads. The plane will be capable of flying at 115 miles per hour - in car mode top speed will be 70 to 80 miles per hour.
The “Transition” can carry two people plus luggage and will operate within a range of 100 to 500 miles (800 km), on a single tank of premium unleaded gas .
