Florida's Blues - SeattlePI
Florida is a state that is rich in aviation history. The first scheduled airline flight occurred there, in 1914 between St. Petersburg and Tampa, and the men who walked on the Moon launched from there — and a lot in between occurred. The US Navy’s Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron is based in Florida’s Pensacola Naval Air Station, it is the oldest aerobatic team flying today and are better known by the name Blue Angels — or the Blues, Florida’s Blues. ...

Anger at scrapping of air show at London City Airport Fun Day from Flightline UK
THIS weekend’s London City Airport Fun Day will have virtually no links to planes or air travel.
The annual event will take place this Saturday at the Thames Barrier Park – the first time it has moved out of the airport itself.
The move came because expected visitor numbers in excess of 25,000 meant the show could not be staged at the Royal Docks airport.
But London City has confirmed the move means the air show – normally the centre-piece of the fun day – will not be included in the event. Indeed, the only link to the air will be a flight simulator provided by British Airways.
“Due to the relocation of Fun Day to Thames Barrier Park the airport is unable to secure a license for an airshow,” said a spokeswoman. ...

Imagination Takes Wings - The News Star
First-Time Visitor Amazed by the Collection of NELA Memorabilia | It's embarrassing to admit, really. I've driven past the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum hundreds of times since its establishment. I've noted the occasional aircraft (generally in some advanced state of disrepair) and the rather drab barracks, and frankly assumed that something so unappealing in appearance couldn't possibly hold anything worth my time to see. How very, very wrong I was . . . GP
The day was hot and humid, more typical of a Louisiana August than June. I turned into the parking lot of the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum ...

Flying Car A Reality from Flight International
What's that? It is a plane, is it a car? Well, it's both. Remember those childhood dreams you had of flying in your car. Careering at speed down the road, and then suddenly a super-engine comes out the back, and you blast off into the skies, avoiding the traffic below.
Well, this vehicle comes quite close. Terrafugia, a small, privately-owned business, has developed a car, which, put simply, really can fly. ...
