BD-5 On A Stick - Best Wind Direction Indicator Ever! by Martt | I made a late afternoon road trip about 35 miles from home today to check out an airplane (more on that another day) at the Mishawaka Pilots Club airport (3C1) located at the edge of Elkhart, Indiana.  I've known about this airport for at least 30 years but for some reason I hadn't ever been there before.  Now I know I should've done this a long time ago!  Wow, what a cool place... a beautiful clearing at the edge of the city with a 2,243' x 40' asphalt runway (3-21) and an awesome 3,140' x 100' grass runway (12-30).  It's also a very unique place because even tho it's a public use airport, it's really an aviation community, owned and operated by a group of pilot / shareholders.  You can learn more on the way that works at the Mishawaka Pilots Club 'about' page.  This place lives for 'sport aviation', which already makes it one of my favorite places ever…

Slowly but surely the country slipped into a chaotic state and Ferihegy airport was no different…

Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago - During Operation Linebacker over Vietnam in 1972, the two McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II squadrons aboard the USS Coral Sea, VF-111 "Sundowners" and VF-51 "Screaming Eagles" each had their own obstacles to overcome to become some of the premier Phantom units in Southeast Asia. VF-51, in particular, had a double uphill climb as the squadron had just transitioned from the Vought F-8H Crusader AND their new Phantoms weren't so new- they were old F-4B models that had been rejected by the Marines as unairworthy and had been left in storage at MCAS El Toro in California for years…
