Heather Penney and Race21 Team To Race at Reno! - PFLUGERVILLE, TX – SEPTEMBER 7, 2011 – LiveAirShowTV was contacted by AirRace21 General Manager Peter Frey to announce that pilot Heather Penney and the team will be racing at the 2011 Reno National Championship Air Races.  “This has been a stressful week for the team after being told to stand down for safety concerns with all of the L-29’s that have Viper engines”, said Frey.  “Safety is the number one concern at the races.  The plane we will be flying is the #76 of Greg McNutt.  It is an L-29 that competed last year in the Silver Jet Race. McNutt is a friend of AirRace21 and Heather and when he heard about our dilemma he called and offered us his plane.  In addition, Mike Mangold, the Vice-President of Racing Jets International and two-time Red Bull Air Racing World Champion, will be ferrying the plane from its home in Hollister, CA to Reno.  He will also be the officially-designated 'second pilot' for the AirRace21 team and will be Heather's alternate at Reno.”  As of this posting, no other information is available regarding the other jets, which include defending champion Curt Brown in #77 “Viper”, Mike Mangold in #12 “Euro Burner” and John Kokshoorn in #11 “Screaming Eagle.  LiveAirShowTV will on the ramp beginning Wednesday, Sept 14th to bring air racing fans the “Inside Story” on all of the developments at this year’s races.  Watch for our daily reports which will be uploaded overnight at www.LiveAirShowTV.com  Fans can also follow our progress on our Facebook Fan Page, and you can follow us on Twitter.  Complete information on Heather Penney and AirRace21 Raju Grace can be found at www.airrace21.com.  AirRace 21 also has a Facebook Fan Page.  The countdown has begun.  It’s going to be a great week at the races!

Carolinas Aviation Museum: Cactus 1549 'Miracle On The Hudson' (15 Pix)  by Martt |  My wife and I recently made a short and fast road trip from Indiana to Charlotte North Carolina to visit our daughter and her husband.

As it turns out, the crew was based in Charlotte, the airplane was headed there when they ingested the geese that shut down both engines, and over 100 of the 150 passengers were from Charlotte. Charlotte seems the perfect place for the airplane to be on display…

Rare opportunities to fly in a vintage aircraft, helicopter or around the CN Tower

Calling all aviation and automotive enthusiasts! The Canadian Air & Space Museum will host its 6th annual Wings & Wheels Heritage Festival at Downsview Park, Toronto on May 28-29, 2011.

Come and see a fantastic display of past and present, highlighted by a rich collection of vintage, classic and modern aircraft and vehicles. All this in addition to exhibits, vendors, seminars, family-friendly activities, models, simulators, airplane rides and more.

This is Toronto’s largest gathering of aviation and automotive excellence, where the whole family can get up close and personal with airplanes and their pilots, classic cars and their drivers, and military vehicles and Canadian Forces personnel. What better backdrop than the original historic de Havilland aircraft factory, and Bombardier Aerospace's Downsview Airport, all coupled with large indoor and outdoor exhibits.

An added bonus to the Festival will be a rare opportunity for guests to go flying in a vintage Tiger Moth, a helicopter, or one of the Brampton Flying Club's aircraft that will circle downtown Toronto! (additional fees apply)

The Wings:
Military aircraft, jets, helicopters and historic aircraft -- it will all be there! The Festival appeals to aviation fans of all ages, offering rare opportunities to explore these aircraft up close, speak to the pilots and take photos. Some aircraft will include a C-130J Super Hercules (one day only), a RCAF Sabre fighter jet, a WWII Tiger Moth, a Russian MiG-15, a Czechoslovakian Delfin L29, a Snowbirds Tutor jet and complimentary access to the Canadian Air & Space Museum's collection, including their full-scale replica of the Avro Arrow.

The Wheels:
The “Show & Shine” event is back -- the only event of its kind in Toronto! Automotive enthusiasts will relish the wide selection of vintage, custom and working "wheels" – civilian and military - from cars, trucks and motorcycles to army vehicles. Join us and be part of the judging! Awards in a number of categories will be presented based on public voting.

Don't leave the kids at home! A Kids Zone will offer lots of fun and entertainment for the younger ones.

Food, fun, sights and sounds await you at the Wings & Wheels Heritage Festival at Downsview Park.

World Record to be Attempted at the 2009 Fort St. John International Air Show by Brent
The Fort St. John International Air Show Society in partnership with the City of Fort St. John will be hosting the Fort St. John International Air Show this summer on Sunday, July 19, 2009. The Committee is excited to announce a set of new performers to this year’s already full line-up of performers, Jurassic Attack and Maniac. These monster trucks are huge 4×4’s that destroy everything in their way. The machines weigh about 10,000 pounds, are 12 feet high, 12 feet wide and have motors that close in on 2,000 horse power. Maniac is coming to the 2009 Fort St. John International Air Show to attempt a new World Record, for the world’s longest wheelie. “This is an exciting new set of performers for the Air Show this year” Said Darlene Hamre, Show Producer, “Not only are two monster trucks coming to perform, but they will attempt a World Record which is very exciting, especially if they accomplish what they came here to do.” Jurassic Attack and Maniac are no strangers to Air Shows. During their previous tours of Canada and the U.S., they have stopped at many air shows including the Lethbridge International Air Show where they say the pilots had just as much fun in the monster truck cockpits as they did in the planes.
