B-29 FIFI Has Flown Again [With Video] from AVwebFlash Current Issue
The Commemorative Air Force's Boeing B-29 Superfortress flew Thursday morning at Midland International Airport, taking to the air for the first time since 2004 and reclaiming its title as the only flyable aircraft of its type. "She ran like a top," Paul Stojkov, one of the aircraft's pilots said of the aircraft's 39-minute flight. The hop was made possible by volunteer work, the support of the CAF team and financial contributors like Jim Cavanaugh. That combination saw FIFI fitted with new custom built engines that combine the R-3350-95W and R-3350-26WD engines. FIFI's next flight is expected on Saturday, August 7, and visitors are invited.

Aug 20 cost cuts ground Air Show - The Budapest Report
The Budapest City Council has reportedly scrapped even the idea of hosting what has become a family household name – the Red Bull Air race – due lack of funding. The council argues that the Hungarian transport Authority had reportedly earlier decided that the event was dangerous and hazardous to the environment and did not sign the permits required.
However sources said that the City council had demanded too much money from Red Bull and because it was reluctant to pay the upped price, has decided to abolish what has become an annual race. Ironically the national transport authority kept mum for almost a decade since the inception of the race, but now strangely found it “ risky ”, one wonders….

The T-28 Trojan - Moose Peterson
The T-28 is a cool plane that I first meet last year at the Reno Air Races. A trainer, it has this kinda funkie shape and size that, well, just clicks with me. There was a mess of them at Oshkosh in just about every paint scheme the military ever used. So when the sun came out briefly and I saw the God beams, I ran right over to the huge line of them. ...

Post Oshkosh Recap from Life on the Road as a Pilot
Or should we call it Splosh-Kosh? Yes, this year's EAA AirVenture was a mire of muck and mud for the first few days, necessitating my car's rescue from my new best friend, John Deere. I wasn't the only one needing a tug, however, so bravo to those who made it in to Camp Scholler and, for the most part, kept their spirits up (and stayed civil) despite permanent dirt stains on everything from feet to tarp. We arrived on Friday evening, but within two days new arrivals were being turned away from Scholler and sent to stay in parking lots around Oshkosh until things dried out - which, thankfully, they eventually did. ...
