OSH13: A Trip To The Seaplane Base (Wednesday 7.31.13 - 6 Pix) - AirPigz | In addition to being all over Wittman Field on Wednesday, I also joined three other avgeeks staying at CampBacon for the short drive over to the seaplane base. Whether you spend just an hour or all day at the base, it's definitely a must-see experience while at Oshkosh. The beautiful setting and calming environment is the perfect way to re-charge your batteries. And if you take the free (donations requested) pontoon boat ride around the moored seaplanes you'll feel connected to the general awesomeness that is airplanes-on-water. I love the seaplane base!...

Chicago Air and Water Show - Time Out Chicago | Chicago Air and Water Show regulars will no doubt notice something missing this year: the sonic boom and lightning-quick moves of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. The precision demonstration team—a perrenial favorite of the Chicago Air Show, which takes flight August 13–14, 10am–3pm, off of North Avenue Beach—won't perform due to the sequestration, the federal budget cuts that went into effect in April. (Traditionally, the Thunderbirds trade headlining duties with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.) The scarcity of Top Gun trickery notwithstanding, the lineup of the...

'NW Classic' at Air Museum Aug. 3 - Tillamook Headlight Herald | The ninth annual Northwest Classic, featuring automobiles, motorcycles and airplanes from the 1920s to present day, happens at the Tillamook Air Museum Saturday, August 3, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Air Museum. It’s billed as a “cruise-in/fly-in” (the planes are the ones that will be flying in). Some of the show vehicles arrive under their own power, Gundling said; others are trailered in. “We’ll have half the blimp hangar filled with cars,” he said. If the weather’s good, the planes will be outside. “We’ll give aircraft rides as well,” he said...

A tribute to a warrior, patriot and hero to all Airmen - Official Site of the U.S. Air Force Top Stories by Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff | 8/1/2013 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- I am the very proud son of an American fighter pilot, one of that treasured group who served in three wars, built an Air Force, and gave it an enduring example of courage and mission success. My dad was a hero. As a young man, I asked him who his combat heroes were; he gave me only two names. One was Major General Frederick "Boots" Blesse and the other was Colonel George E. "Bud" Day. My dad was not easily impressed, so I knew that if they were his heroes, they were very, very special men. I was right. ...
