OSHKOSH Pic Stream #8 - Departures (Includes C-5 Galaxy - 22 pix) by Martt | Some people drool over a Piper Malibu, Beech Bonanza, or a Cirrus SR22, but if I was able to have any airplane that could take a few friends along and get there kinda quick, I'd want this Mr Mulligan replica! I'm assuming this is the one from the Arkansas Air Museum as I'm not aware of any other replicas of this most amazing aircraft from the mid 1930's. 550 hp hangin' off the nose and room for four... I'm likes it!...

RAF Waddington International Air Show from Pacific Wings Magazine - By Peter Cooper | It has been 26 years since its last operational roar, but the Vulcan bomber once again ruled the sky over Lincolnshire at the recent RAF Waddington International Air Show. Just south of the city of Lincoln, ensconced deep inside the renowned World War II Lincolnshire "Bomber County", lies the important Royal Air Force base of Waddington. Today, RAF Waddington has a specific role as the hub of British ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) and not only supports the UK Forces but also NATO…
Rare Zero fighter plane to be filmed for documentary - A Japanese company is flying to Minot on Aug. 23 to film footage of the 1941 A6M2 Model 21 Zero, one of a few Zeros in the world still capable of flying. The late Gerry Beck, former warplane builder, along with Warren Pietsch, Minot, and Tim McPhearson, Page, bought the Zero about 30 years after it was first recovered from the Solomon Islands in 1969. Schreiber-Beck resumed her husband's partnership in the group, referred to as Dakota Blayd Zero, after he died in a plane crash in 2007. "It's such a remarkable airplane in itself, and it gives credit to the technology that the Japanese were using to build it," said Schreiber-Beck. "They had a different mindset than the American population - it was built to be nimble and quick, not necessarily to protect the pilot…

Flying Feathered Foe from From the Flight Deck | Well that 3:30 a.m wake up seemed to come extra early this morning. But a straight out departure off runway 25 in Ottawa to a straight in approach on runway 23 in Toronto proved uneventful especially with two large Tim Hortons consumed. Usually, I only have one but this morning I upped the dosage…
Letters From War—Aeroscouts from Pacific Wings Magazine - By Donald Harward | The two young "warrants" (warrant officers) caught my eye as they walked past my aircraft on their way towards their company area. They looked tired—very tired—and I noticed the green canvas boxes, which held their ANVIS night vision goggles, draped over their shoulders. Their faces were streaked with dirt or dust, and trails of tears led from the corners of their eyes—something that is common here, as our eyes are constantly irritated by all the dirt and dust in the air…
Sikorsky X2 Pushes Its Way Into The Rotorcraft Record Book by Martt | I've never really considered myself a 'rotorhead' before, but after riding recently in a Huey and a Bell 47, and then also seeing what's going on with Sikorsky via their display booth at Oshkosh, I'm warming up to the rotary wing concept. You've probably already seen some news about the fact that on July 26th, Sikorsky's X2 coaxial rigid-rotor demonstrator set an unofficial speed record of 259 mph. That's a pretty big deal…Senate Passes NASA Authorization Bill from Spaceports by jack@jackkennedy.net (JackKennedy) The United States Senate Thursday passed the NASA Authorization Act of 2010 as recommended by the Commerce, Science, and Transportation committee.

Cold War: The Peacemaker Takes to the Sky from About.com Military History | August 8, 1946 - The Convair B-36 Peacemaker (right) first flies. Responding to the US Army Air Corps' needs for a very long-range bomber in 1941, Consolidated (Convair after 1943) began work on what was to become the B-36. Delayed due to other wartime needs and various issues, the prototype did not fly until August 1946…
The Equation for a Thriving GA Community: Pilots x Planes + Kids = New Aviators for Future Prosperity from Av8rdan's World of Flying by Dan Pimentel | [Note, this is part two of a two-part article on the camaraderie that we pilots share.] In part one of this series, I took a look at exactly how rare it is to possess a pilot's license in the United States. The conclusion – while not really news to most flyers – was quite a stunner to non-pilots on the street..
