Jenny Wingwalker — Larry C. Price.
Larry C. Price, of the Dayton Daily News, came out to Waynesville to use us as the subject of some footage he wanted to shoot with a protoype of a new Olympus camera/HD videocam. It was a much cooler morning than we had hoped for, so I was bundled pretty good - enough that I had to 'help' my leg over the javelin (something I need not do when in my usual lycra). Even with the cooler temps (50s as I remember), we had a great time. Thanks, as always, to the Stewarts who have been so wonderful to me personally, and to our American Barnstormer team!

Helicopter Aerobatics Video - Air & Space Magazine
Helicopters aren't supposed to do that, are they? At the urging of master pilot Chuck Aaron, this one manages to defy physics and common sense. Aaron's routine for Red Bull is performed in a Eurocopter/Messerschmitt BO-105 CBS. Since it is classified as an experimental aircraft, Aaron can take it on some wild rides and maintain his license.

New Hampshire Man Found His Sikorsky Seaplane 'a Total Mess' in Alaska - The Ledger
How Dick Jackson found his 1930 Sikorsky S-39 is just about as cool as the plane, itself. Jackson, of Rochester, N.H., fancied seaplanes. He researched Federal Aviation Administration records. That led the now-retired textile manufacturer on a Sikorsky treasure hunt to Alaska in the mid-1960s.
The plane he found - and somehow managed to fall in love with - had trees growing through it. It was dragged, towed and trucked back home.
"It was a total mess," Jackson said.
The Sikorsky flew again in 2003. All it took was a four-decade, 40,000-hour rebuilding.
It's a good thing Jackson's lifelong hobby is rebuilding planes. ...
