LiveAirShowTV Resumes Reno Coverage - PFLUGERVILLE, TX – SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 – LiveAirShowTV has resumed its coverage of the 48th Reno National Championship Air Races with Friday September 16th Race Report. “Many factors went into our decision to stand down following the crash of the Galloping Ghost” said LiveAirShowTV President Jeff Lee. “First off, we are not a breaking news organization. The broadcast media can get information out faster, and things were moving very fast that day. Second, we needed time to process what we had witnessed so that the information we presented in our stories was factual straight forward. Finally, we wanted to be sensitive to those who were directly affected by this tragedy.”  Prior to the Unlimited Gold race, there was a full day of racing action. The LiveAirShowTV team covered the races, news from the Pits, and sat down with Reno President and CEO Mike Houghton. This is the report that would have posted late Friday night.  LiveAirShowTV will be presenting more stories from Reno, as well as several air shows this fall including Wings Over Houston in two weeks. Watch for other news on our web site. Our Facebook fan page has several pictures from Reno and past air shows, as well as a weekly feature “This Week in Aviation History”. You can also follow us on Twitter. LiveAirShowTV continues to be the “Eyes and Ears of Aviation, Today!”

DeFuniak FL’s Shooting Star — DENIED!  from Travel for Aircraft | The post which published two days ago is about a sister to this Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. These two aircraft are less than 25 miles (40km) apart and mounted identically but could hardly be displayed differently. The T-33 in Florala AL is easily approached by the public and meant to be seen, touched and admired by visitors to a popular park. This T-33 in DeFuniak Springs FL lies behind a security fence at the local airport, so regular people cannot see it except through the fence, and has a sign meant to be viewed at arm’s length — not the room’s length that is from the fence! This aircraft is in storage, not on exhibit!
