Solar-Powered aircraft performs first night flight from Aero Pacific Flightlines
A solar-powered aircraft designed to fly round the clock without traditional aviation fuel or polluting emissions headed on Wednesday into its crucial first night flight.
The plane, named Solar Impulse, took off for its first 24-hour test flight just after dawn from an air base near the central Swiss town of Payerne and began climbing above nearby lakes and mountains toward a peak altitude of 8,500 meters (27,900 feet).
"It is going well. This is an incredible moment," said Bertrand Piccard, one of the two initiators of the project who himself carried out the first non-stop round-the-world flight in a hot-air balloon 11 years ago.

French Helicopter Museum, Dax from PPRuNe Forums
Couldn't find any mention of this anywhere on PPRuNe, thought it was worth writing about.
I went to the Helicopter Museum on the airfield at Dax, France yesterday: Bienvenue sur le site de l'AAMALAT
It's a pretty low-profile affair, from the main road past the airport there's just one tiny sign to it. I've been visiting this area regularly for 20 years and this is the first I knew of it. But they have a fantastic collection of aircraft, mainly helis but also some small fixed-wing stuff. Among other things they have a Sikorsky 55, an Mi-8, a Vertol, a Puma, numerous Gazelles and variations thereupon. They also have a static exhibit including a variety of different rotor-heads that you can poke and prod at. ...

Wasabi's 2010 race season from Wasabi Air Racing by Elliot "Stinky" Seguin
I am sorry to announce that team Wasabi will not be a participant in this year's National Championship Air Races. A very ambitious modification campaign combined with a busy winter at work has placed us in this less than ideal position. While we could very easily have returned to Reno, unmodded from our 2009 configuration, I have decided that would not represent our goals or the goals of our sponsors. While we don't look forward to sitting on the sidelines in 2010, we do look forward to a very fast 2011! ....
