Early air show performer confirmations for EAA AirVenture 2010
TOP AIR SHOW PERFORMERS MAKE EARLY CONFIRMATIONS FOR EAA AIRVENTURE
OSHKOSH 2009
EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wis. - (Jan. 8, 2010) - Many of
the world's top air show performers have already given early
confirmations to participate at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2010, "The
World's Greatest Aviation Celebration," on July 26-August 1 at Wittman
Regional Airport.
Second-generation air show standouts Matt Younkin and Kyle
Franklin will be appearing at AirVenture 2010. Yearly favorites such as
Chuck Aaron's Red Bull aerobatic helicopter, the AeroShell Aerobatic
Team, The Collaborators featuring Sean D. Tucker, and the Warbird
Spectaculars will be part of the schedule as well.
"Each of these performers work as a headline act at air shows
throughout the country, but they come together at EAA AirVenture to make
an all-star roster of the 'best of the best,'" said Tom Poberezny, EAA
president and AirVenture chairman, who flew as a member of the renowned
Eagles Aerobatic Team and last year was named to the International
Council of Air Shows Hall of Fame. "Air show performers are eager to
fly at Oshkosh because it represents a major achievement in their
careers, flying in front of the most knowledgeable and appreciative
audiences on the air show circuit. Look for even more top performers to
be added to the list in early 2010."
The afternoon air show is an anticipated spectacle each day at
EAA AirVenture, providing an exciting way to round out to a full day on
the Oshkosh flight line. In 2010, the best elements of the daily air
show and the "showcase" flying from previous years will again be
combined to provide several hours of exciting and entertaining aerial
entertainment.
Exact daily performance schedules will be finalized in the weeks
prior to EAA AirVenture and will be announced through the event's
extensive website at www.airventure.org.
"Each afternoon's showcase and air show create a daily
attraction that simply cannot be seen anywhere else but EAA AirVenture,"
Poberezny said. "Oshkosh is the place where the airplanes, people and
innovations come together each year in aviation's family reunion."
EAA AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH is The World's Greatest Aviation
Celebration and EAA's yearly membership convention. Additional EAA
AirVenture information, including advance ticket and camping purchase,

-Rand's Interesting Aviator Series- from rand peck, a life aloft by Rand Peck
... John's a MSP based 757 captain, but you may know him as one of the worlds top airshow performers and owner of MOHR BARNSTORMING. Flying a 1943 Stearman, John opens his act with a slow roll followed by a snap roll; immediately after takeoff! It only gets more exciting from there. This would be impressive in a Pitts or MX2, but in a 66 year-old, WWII, stock PT-17, it's unbelievable. Perhaps that's why he's won both the Art Scholl and Bill Barber award for showmanship and has thrilled crowds for more than 25 years. ...

Remembrance Day 2008 # 9: Bristol F.2B Fighter from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
The last of the World War One aircraft on display was the Bristol F.2B Fighter. The Bristol Fighter was a fairly long-living aircraft with production starting in 1917 and continuing until 1927, with retirement from the RAF five years later in 1932. The aircraft was employed in fighter and reconnaissance roles - you'll notice from the pictures that there is space for two occupants, the rear occupant having a Vickers machine gun [the detail on these aircraft was amazing!]…
Remembrance Day 2008 # 10: Curtis P-40E Kittyhawk from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
While Remembrance Day is all about the signing of the armistice which came into effect on 11/11/1918, there were a couple of aircraft in the flying display that are not associated with World War One. The most obvious of these was the Curtis P-40E Kittyhawk. It's incredible to think that in the space of 20 years or so we went from bi-planes [and tri-planes], open cockpits, wood and cloth construction and rotary engines to monoplanes with closed cockpits, mainly metal construction [yes, I am aware of the mighty Hurricane, but still!], oxygen systems and over 1000hp…
Remembrance Day 2008 # 11: DH82A Tiger Moth from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
Another aircraft at the display not associated with World War One is the De Havilland DH82A Tiger Moth. The Tiger Moth arrived between the World Wars and trained several generations of military and civilian pilots around the world. The Tiger Moth was used extensively in New Zealand as it was not only operated by the Royal New Zealand Air Force as a pilot trainer, but also in the civilian world; both as a trainer and also to introduce aerial applicaion of agricultural chemicals, such as superphosphate…

A Bunch of Warbirds in a "Warbird" Retires from Warbirds Online by Ryan Keough
Last week marked the end of an era for a truly unique "warbird" of sorts. I’m talking about the Convair C-131 TIFS (Total In Flight Simulator) simulator aircraft. Starting out life as a Convair C-131 Samaritan in 1955, the aircraft was later significantly modified by Cornell Aeronautical Laboratories (later known as Calspan) as a unique aircraft with two completely separate cockpits — one in the standard position, and the other in an extended nose compartment that could be configured to simulate the layout and flying habits of a host of different aircraft. The extended nose section could also be configured to contain various avionics or radar test equipment as well…
Video: An Airplane Trip by Jet from Aircrew Buzz by B. N. Sullivan
For a change of pace, how about a little commercial aviation nostalgia. I came across this video on YouTube, and I just love it. It is an old 'educational film' about travel by jet airplane. In the film, two children called Bob and Sue go on a trip (as unaccompanied minors!) on a United Airlines DC-8. The process of air travel was so much simpler in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Everything depicted in the film -- the aircraft, the airport, the uniforms -- is evocative of the nascent days of the jet age, when everything about traveling by air was a novel experience. (One of my favorite bits is about the "huge moving corridor... called a jetway," said with a hint of awe.) …
