Luck Favor's the Prepared! by imperfectphotog | Truck vs Plane - I made the picture above at a recent air-show and posted it on my Flickr stream. I got a very nice complement from a gentleman that was also at the show – "Great example of what can happen when preparation meets opportunity. Fun shot !" As I read this, I thought to myself "preparation nothing – this was all luck!". But then I started to think about it, he was right – a year ago, this would have been all luck but that wasn't the case any longer.
The Tech Frame from AcroCamp by Stephen Force (Steve Tupper) Going through all of this footage, one of the things that strikes me is an element that you probably won't see in the film. It's the first frame of most of the sequences shot by the airborne cameras. It's almost invariably one of the crew staring into the camera at the moment he pushes the button to start up the camera. It could be me. Or Roger Bishop. Or Will Hawkins. Or David Allen. Or even one of the Acro Camp IPs.Jimmy Stewart Airport Festival to bring big planes, sounds - Indiana Gazette ... this year will be a Saturday evening hanger dance, featuring live big band-era music and hosted by the Keystone Wing of the Commemorative Air Force. ...

On This Day: June 6th, 1944 from Bayou Renaissance Man by Peter | I posted last year about the commemoration of the Normandy landings on this date, which brought freedom back to the shores of occupied Europe. They would lead, within a year, to the downfall of Nazi Germany and the end of that particularly vicious and savage tyranny. I don't have anything more to add this year, so I'll let last year's post and pictures speak for themselves. I'll just say: remember those who took part. There are relatively few of them left now, and they grow fewer every year. If you know one, please thank him for all of us. Peter

Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago | In the immediate postwar period the performance of jet engines was such that they weren't economical and for the nascent USAF needing high performance escort fighters for its bomber fleet, they simply didn't have the range to accompany bombers like the Convair B-36 Peacemaker and the Boeing B-50 Superfortress on their projected missions. While the idea of a parasite fighter like the McDonnell XF-85 Goblin represented one approach, it represented a loss of bombload as the parasite fighter had to be carried under the fuselage, the most ideal location being where the bomb bay was located, near the bomber's center of gravity…
