Battle Creek Preview 2010 from Airspeed
Barb Haluszka appears for the fourth time talking about the Battle Creek Field of Flight Airshow and Balloon Festival. The show is slated for 1-4 July 2010, but that's just around the corner when you think about the amount of planning and coordination required to put on a show like this.
The show will be without a jet team for the first time in many years and that presents interesting challenges and opportunities. That and more is on the table for this, Airspeed's fifth year of covering the Battle Creek show.

RACE DAY PERTH from Mike Goulian Airshows
Good morning (evening in the USA), it's a beautiful day for the race. Clear skies and it looks like the wind is low. Qualifying was a success considering we are still using last year's race engine. It will be pretty difficult to get into the final four today without a little luck and some pretty risky short cuts. Today might be an "all or nothing" situation. We will push very hard and try not to make any penalties. If I can do that, it could be a great day!!!

Berlin Airlift Foundation's C-54 Spirit of Freedom from AVwebFlash Current Issue
In 1948, the newly minted U.S. Air Force did a remarkable thing. When the Soviets blockaded land links to Berlin, the Air Force sustained the city by air for nearly a year. At Sun 'n Fun, the Berlin Airlift Foundation displayed a C-54 used in the operation.
