Battle Creek 2010 - Media Day from Airspeed by Stephen Force (Steve Tupper) …The F-22 Raptor is headlining the show this year. It's no secret that I'm a huge raptor fan and I got up close and personal with both of the specimens that were on the ramp. David "Zeke" Skalicky, Maj, USAF, is flying the Raptor this year and he put her through her paces. I can do some of that stuff in a Citabria, but I have to do it at 60 KIAS and then I have to recover from the ensuing spin. The handling is just too sweet for words. My only complaint is that the aircraft doesn't come in a two-seat variant…

Best of day 12: Flight of two to Catalina Island! from Flying Across America | When we took-off from Chino this morning, we used a slightly different radio call-sign: "Cessna 512R flight of two". This is the standard phraseology for formation flying. Formation flying? Yes, our lead supporter in Chino flew with us to Catalina Island in his own Cessna 150. We took-off side by side and flew to the Island in formation. We were talking to ATC and squawking while he was listening and following us. We did break off the formation shortly before landing. Seeing an aircraft that close was an exciting experience…

Balloon Flight with Dale Wilson in Seventh Heaven from Aviation | I didn't expect to get up in a balloon today. Or this year, for that matter (or at least not during this particular year's iteration of the Battle Creek Field of Flight Airshow and Balloon Festival). After all, I had a spectacular experience with Dave Emmert four years ago or so. But, then, again, the show was audio-only at that point and now I travel around with something like five HD video cameras and am getting a little better every day at editing video and making video episodes…

He's been at it quite a while and has some amazing accomplishments to his credit. This means he's either extremely skilled, with a good eye toward considering all the risks, or he's part flying squirrel. I'll leave that up to you to decide…
