This 14:52 video of Sean Tucker at last weekend's Chicago Air & Water Show is fantastic, especially if you're like me and you really like looking at the details. Watching the horizon and the sky constantly swing around is very cool, as is watching the elevator position thru the maneuvers. I really like seeing the very small control inputs that display the art of threading the needle of hitting airspeed, altitude and attitude marks. It's also cool to see Sean talking to the audience during some very intense flying! ...

Oshkosh Overcomes Weather Problems from Pacific Flyer
Bringing together more than a half-million attendees and 10,000 aircraft is a daunting task even in the best of years.
Throw in unprecedented rains prior to that event, however, and the challenges heading into EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2010 made it unlike any of the 57 previous EAA fly-ins held before it.
“This was the most challenging fly-in we’ve had in my 35 years as chairman of the event,” said Tom Poberezny, EAA’s chairman and president.
Wittman Regional Airport at Oshkosh, Wis., was hit by more than 10 inches of rain in the first 24 days of July. As the July 26 opening day approached, the conditions complicated aircraft and drive-in camper parking, as large areas of the grounds typically used for parking and camping were under water or too soft to allow any weight. ...

U.S. Air Force test pilot Lt. Col. Hank "Hog" Griffiths believes he may have flown faster in an F-35 Joint Strike Fighter than anyone else.
Griffith says in June he took the F-35A to 583 KCAS (exceeding Mach 1.2). “I may be the first to fly this fast in the jet so far,” he muses. “The jet handles well, and she just wants to fly fast. It has a monster engine. It looks like an aircraft that’s built around an engine.” ...
