Wyo. Guard grounds annual air show from Air Force Times - News
The Wyoming Air National Guard won't host its annual air show this July because of deployments, construction at the airfield and other issues, but the performance by the Air Force Thunderbirds will go on as planned July 28.
Both shows usually run during Cheyenne Frontier Days.
"It was a tough decision, but we would not have been able to provide the top-notch air show the community deserves this year," Col. Dennis Grunstad, commander of the 153rd Airlift Wing, said in a press release. "We decided to not lower the bar."
Other factors cited in the decision to cancel were several major inspections of the field this year and less money available because of military assistance in Haiti. ...

Racing pilot loves extreme norm - London Free Press
There's no arguing Pete McLeod's workspace is unique.
Just as there's no arguing what he does and where he does it are much different than what most people do to earn a buck.
But what he does comes as natural to him as, well, as walking does to others.
"You don't remember learning to walk. I don't remember learning to fly," McLeod said. "It's something I always did growing up. My dad had me in a plane when I was six weeks old and starting giving me lessons at three years old.
"That environment is very normal. I've always had a passion for speed, performance and competition to measure myself against people at a high level."
McLeod races planes. The native of Red Lake, Ont., and University of Western Ontario graduate is entering his second year on the Red Bull Air Race World Championship circuit. ...

Flying a B–24 from Planenews Aviation News
In 1957 Lloyd Nolen, a former World War II Army Air Corps flight instructor, and four friends purchased a war-surplus P–51 Mustang, Red Nose. They paid $1,500, which included whatever fuel was in the tanks. A few years later the group decided to obtain other World War II aircraft but was dismayed to learn that although America had produced almost 300,000 airplanes for the war effort, most were gone—stripped of armament and instruments, and then either abandoned or demolished. Only a few remained airworthy. What started as a hobby evolved into an urgent mission to preserve history. ...
