The Pylon Place  Speed, Angels and Rookies by Dasher | Pylon Racing Seminar took place in the Northern Nevada Desert around the middle of June. The attendance was higher than expected with lots of Rookies wanting to join the ranks of Air Racers. I will do a quick rundown of who, what and where in this month's column and expand on it once the attendee lists are out for the races.  Everything is a moving target at Reno, except the pylons, of course. So be patient and expect late breaking news – as it always happens. Today, let's talk about the Rookies…

It has been reported that Angelina, 35, who received her pilot's license in 2005, has already promised Shiloh lessons of her own.

'The Aviators': Must-see TV from General Aviation News by Meg Godlewski | One of the major complaints pilots have about television shows depicting aviation is that they often get it wrong. In Hollywood, airplane engines suddenly quit with alarming frequency and pilots attempt to fix the problem by holding the stick full aft until impact. Don't you wish for a TV show made for aviators by aviators? Introducing "The Aviators," a Canadian-based program slated to premiere on Public Broadcasting Stations in Canada and the United States in September. "The show is essentially a magazine show of aviation stories," explained Anthony Nalli, executive producer. "We like to say that it is for anyone who has ever gazed skywards."

Spins with Barry from Aviation - I have a really cool Air Force ride coming up in California in a couple of weeks. Think helmet, mask, and speed jeans. (Yeah!) And, although I've filmed other people doing aerobatics a lot lately, I haven't flown a lot of aerobatics. Out of respect for the crew chief (and personal pride), I decided to get up and crank an airplane around for an hour or so…

Dodge Roadside Bombs in a — Wait For It — Flying Car from Wired: Danger Room by Spencer Ackerman | Big military problem: Unfriendly forces hide bombs in the roads of Afghanistan, Iraq and, inevitably, future war zones. What to do about it? Well, obviously: Hit a button on the back of a steering wheel and vertically lift your vehicle off the road, into the sky, and out of the range of an improvised explosive device. Why didn't the big brains at the Pentagon's anti-roadside bomb squad think of that?...
