What IS An Air Show? from Windsor International Air Show
With tens of millions of spectators attending air shows each year, the air show industry represents one of the very largest, if not the largest, outdoor professional sports in North America. And it’s no wonder, as the shows themselves deliver entertainment value at a modest cost for families the likes of which can’t be found anywhere else, at any price. From supersonic-speed military jets to gravity-defying aerobatic acts to a host of on-the-ground displays and activities, a day at an air show yields memories that truly last a lifetime. Indeed, air shows have become anchor events within the calendars of local communities coast to coast.
Air shows are flying museums with the vintage aircraft and are also a look into the technological aspect that many of the fast movers have become today. ...

National Air & Space Museum after dark from FlightBlogger
Late last week, I had an opportunity to catch an evening flick at the National Air & Space Museum IMAX theater. (Inception was excellent, highly recommend it) When the movie ended around 10:30 PM the museum was long past closed and the completely empty exhibit hall was a brilliant sight to behold. During the daytime, the museum is lit naturally through the massive windows that face the National Mall. At night however, spotlights set between the two levels light the main exhibit hall. Unfortunately I only had my iPhone on me, but I did my best to capture some of aviation's most historic artifacts in a different light. ...
The Fiat CR.32 was an Italian biplane fighter used in the Spanish Civil War and World War II. This nimble little Fiat was compact, robust and highly maneuverable. The Fiat CR.32 was designed by Celestino Rosatelli. Derived from earlier Fiat CR.30 designs, the CR.32 was a more streamlined and smaller biplane fighter. The prototype MM.201 first flew the 28 April 1933 from the Fiat company airstrip at Turin. The CR.32 fought in North and East Africa, in Albania and in the Mediterranean theatre. The CR.32 saw service in the air forces of China, Austria, Hungary, Paraguay and Venezuela.

But then it was overtaken by more advanced monoplane designs and was obsolete by 1939. ...
