Air Race Classic planes touch down in Frederick - Frederick News Post
The 2010 Air Race Classic touched down in Frederick on Thursday as racers -- including the first local team -- began landing at Frederick Municipal Airport around 11 a.m.
Florida's Team Wild Mama, flying a Cessna 182 Skylane RG, was the first to land, officially clocking in at 10:42 a.m. Pilot Terry Carbonell of Alva, Fla., said she was pleased with her team's performance. ...
We Finished by Team Charley
We left Parkersburg, WV around 9:15am enroute to Frederick, MD. Had some mountain obscurations flying from WV to MD. Very hazy out and lots of mountains to climb over. A lot different from the flat lands of TX. Got into Frederick around 10:40 with a flourish. We flew the timing line with all the power Charley had, swung her around for a downwind, and on to base and final for Runway 23. We both let out a very loud scream when we touchdown. WE DID IT. We will forever after be known as Classic Air Racers and we have joined an elite group of women who have come before us. We are anxious to get our final score on Sunday evening at the banquet and learn who the winners are. We have a Meltdown Party tonight, so may not be able to blog tomorrow because we will be recovering. We will keep everyone posted as to our final score and placement. Maintenance Still OK. Thanks Tom.

Memories take flight - KXAN
92 year-old recalls six decades in the sky | Austin (KXAN) - Most of the time, we take air travel for granted. But the oldest among us can remember when the sky was still a dangerous frontier.
Dick Cooke peers through the windshield of his airplane, starring down the runway. He accelerates and the plane lurches forward, picking up speed. Seconds later, Cooke is airborne for the bazillionth time in his long life. Below, buildings become dots, the clouds become dance partners and the sky says, 'Welcome home.' A grin spreads across the pilots face. He deliberately stalls out, begins a prolonged fall, and at the last minute, levels out and heads skyward again. A few minutes later, the plane is back on the ground. Through the entire flight, the 92 year-old man never once left his ...

Troops and tanks had obtained complete surprise and rapidly advanced deep into South Korea. Only a valiant defense by the Eighth Army to the north and west of the port of Pusan provided a toe-hold on the peninsula from which to mount a counter-offensive. Supported by the recently-made-independent U.S. Air Force tactical fighter planes and naval aircraft from Task Force 77, United Nations forces led by the United States were able ...
