Can aviation get its mojo back? · Jamie Beckett, General Aviation News | There was a time not so long ago when aviation was cool. It was hip. It was a celebrity in its own right. Being photographed next to an airplane was a dream come true. Being one of the lucky few who got to actually fly from here to there, faster than any train or car could transport you, was treat that would be told and retold at water-coolers and cocktail parties and pretty much anywhere else people gathered. If you actually knew how to fly you were a virtual demi-god, celebrated by friends and neighbors. You were feted by family. Aviation was king....

Jerry “Jive” Kerby and Wild Blue
flown some of the most powerful jets around would want to get into an RV-8 for an airshow act? We wondered that very thing, and caught up with Jerry “Jive” Kerby at the Ft. Worth Alliance Air Show last fall to ask that question. Jerry was performing as the Flight Lead for the Black Diamond Jet Team, but we had seen him fly his RV-8 named “Wild Blue” at Oshkosh earlier in the summer. You can tell he has a great time in that plane. He says, “Wild Blue is a little RV-8 that wants to be a fighter jet.” Like Jerry, we’re betting that with him at the controls that dream might just happen.To see this story, go to: http://www.liveairshowtv.com/video.php?vid=171
