Royal Navy celebrates aviation centenary By Tom Norton
Britain’s Royal Navy marked its first century of aviation with a celebratory fly-past over HMS Illustrious, anchored in the River Thames, May 7. Forty naval aircraft flew directly over Illustrious, an aircraft carrier nicknamed “Lusty,” which was moored near the Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich, just downstream from London. The Royal Navy's first airship Prince Andrew, commodore-in-chief of the Navy, met veterans of World War II, the Falklands War and the conflict in Afghanistan at the event. Illustrious will remain moored off Greenwich for the next few days, although the rest of the year will be a period of celebration for the Royal Navy, as the United Kingdom’s senior service marks the 100th anniversary of its first foray into aviation. May 7 was chosen at the day to start celebrating because it was on that date in 1909 when the Admiralty placed an order for His Majesty’s Airship 1, named “Mayfly.” Built by Vickers at a cost of almost £41,000 ($60,500), the dirigible’s more 510 foot length made a major impression on the public when it was delivered in 1911. Indeed, the magazine Flight, also marking its centenary this year, reported in its 27 May 1911 issue: “At last our leviathan of the air has emerged from the interior of its hiding place into the full light of day.”

World Record Helicopter Team Adds 3rd Triumph from AviationBull

One group, the World Record Helicopter Team has found a way to overcome these obstacles and is in the business of breaking records.

FAA/RN Flypast 7-5-09 London UK. from Stick and Rudder by Gary Watson
Having made the trip down to London for what was said to be on other forums a 50 aircraft flypast over the River Thames London, over the 'moored' H.M.S. Illustrious at Greenwich next to the Royal Naval College there. The time set for the flypast was 12.00pm GMT to which it was carried out to the second by my watch. Although there was not 50 aircraft in the flypast, but 21 instead. Helicopters were the first 'wave' followed by four Jetstreams then four marked Hawks who gave a nice formation pass. My own view was that it went very well and was glad I made the effort to go down to see it. In the grounds of the Royal Naval College, there was on display a Sea Harrier, Lynx, Gazelle and Sea King. The public were allowed to speak/meet the aircrews of these aircraft except the Sea Harrier ...

I used my Canon AE-1 Program SLR with my Kiron 28-210mm F3.8-5.6 zoom lens and Fujichrome Provia P1600 color slide film. I exposed the film at ASA 3200 and had the lab overdevelop it to compensate which is known as "pushing" the film. Yes, it comes out grainy, but sometimes that's what you're looking for ...

Way to go, Sean from AOPA Pilot Blog: Reporting Points by Tom Haines
Congratulations to famed air show pilot Sean Tucker for displaying terrific aeronautical decision making–true airmanship.
As you may have heard, Tucker landed on Highway 101 in northern California after concern that he didn't have enough fuel to make it back to the airport. I can't imagine a more difficult decision than one where you take a still-functioning airplane and put it down off airport. "Hope" always wants to horn in and convince you that you can make it back to the airport. But, concerned that he had a fuel problem, Tucker quickly assessed the situation and with assistance from the aerobatic team and photo ship he was flying with, put the airplane down safely without a scratch onto the highway. After adding fuel and with permission of authorities, he took off again and flew the short distance back to the airport.

Way to go, Sean from AOPA Pilot Blog: Reporting Points by Tom Haines
Congratulations to famed air show pilot Sean Tucker for displaying terrific aeronautical decision making–true airmanship.
As you may have heard, Tucker landed on Highway 101 in northern California after concern that he didn't have enough fuel to make it back to the airport. I can't imagine a more difficult decision than one where you take a still-functioning airplane and put it down off airport. "Hope" always wants to horn in and convince you that you can make it back to the airport. But, concerned that he had a fuel problem, Tucker quickly assessed the situation and with assistance from the aerobatic team and photo ship he was flying with, put the airplane down safely without a scratch onto the highway. After adding fuel and with permission of authorities, he took off again and flew the short distance back to the airport.

Blue Thunder Air Racing/Construction progress on "Blue II" / March 31, 2009 report
I hope everyone has been sitting around breathlessly awaiting the March report on the progress of the "Blue Thunder II" construction. I am sorry to report that we are falling behind schedule, but we are working hard to catch up.

Voice of the General Aviation Community from aflyer.com
Leonardo da Vinci, who was never a licensed pilot that we know of, somehow understood the magic of flying. He said, "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." How da Vinci could so clearly represent the feeling of most pilots today and knew about the exhilaration of flight will probably remain a mystery. Fortunately, the 21st century is about to see the boundaries of flying and thinking about flying interconnect in a new feature film titled: "A Pilot's Story." You've might have seen a movie press release in last month's Atlantic Flyer touting the film's schedule for release in early 2010. Digging a little deeper into the movie, understanding its creative ideas, its producer and director, its advisory board, how personal pilot stories are covered suggested more coverage. "A Pilot's Story" looks like it will become one of a few great flying movies that connect the passion of flying with anyone who has flown or thought they wanted to fly. ...
Picture: Sneak Peek at 6th Gen? from Ares
What should I spy while wandering around the Navy League's Sea-Air-Space show at Washington's National Harbor this morning but this...
It's Boeing's latest artist's conception of the U.S. Navy's proposed F/A-XX replacement for the F/A-18E/F, notionally needed on carrier decks around 2025. It's described as "6th generation", but quite what that means I'm not sure - expect that it's tailless for all-aspect broadband stealth, like that other F/A-XX candidate, Northrop Grumman's N-UCAS.
