One Six Right, Makes Us Feel Alright!  from Flight Monkeys | There is an element of emotion felt by pilots that’s almost impossible to put into words. Some of us try. In fact, some of us try pretty darned hard to make our love the sky understandable to others. In the end, though, we all fall short. Words just aren’t enough.  Of course the fact that pilots need to immerse themselves in topics like weather reports and forecasts, density altitude, weight and balance calculations, airspace designations, and regulatory issues doesn’t do a lot to put life into lift. Video on the other hand, well video is an outstanding way to show what we can’t tell. And that’s where One Six Right comes in…

Tarhe Walkaround — the CH-54 Tarhe/Sikorsky Skycrane  from Travel for Aircraft | The Sikorsky CH-54A Tarhe at the U.S. Army Aviation Museum — photo by Joe May … I do not mean this pejoratively, but most helicopters remind me of insects, which is fitting since helicopters can fly as insects do — up, down, all around and into a hover. Generally, helicopters evoke comparisons with the winged insect world because of the rotor disc in which the whirling rotor blades are distinguishable only as blurred elements much like an insect’s wings when in flight; as well as the cockpits shaped much like compound eyes…

One Six Right: Weeping on a Saturday Morning from Arizona Keough by Ryan Keough
One Six Right - Terwilliger Productions - http://www.onesixright.com It only took me four years to actually do it, but I finally watched the acclaimed aviation documentary One Six Right this morning after buying the last copy of it at the local pilot shop at Mesa Gateway Airport last weekend. It had been on my Amazon list for a few years, but my frugality kept me from actually making the buy. In the end, it was the feeling of goodwill I mustered up to make, what most probably was, one of the only sales that the kind, old gentleman at the pilots shop made last Saturday.
Buy the film at Amazon.com by clicking on this link: One Six Right The Romance of Flying.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the film, One Six Right is something of a documentary of Van Nuys Airport – the business general aviation airport in the United States and one of the most historic airfields still in the Los Angeles area. It was created in 2005 by filmmaker Brian Terwilliger.

Former Thunderbirds pilot 'an inspiration' for young girls from Air Force Link Top Stories
Perched on a balcony overseeing an assortment of aircraft static displays, a young girl asked Maj. Nicole Malachowski, "Is it hard to be a pilot?"
The major smiled at the question; it's one she'd answered many times. After all, she was the first female Thunderbirds and before that, an accomplished F-15E Strike Eagle pilot.
"Of course it's hard," the major answered. "You have to study, you have to work a lot, you have to stay in shape. You have to be dedicated to it. But when you're up there flying, it all becomes worth it. There is nothing like the combination of grace and power that comes from flying jets."

The Wright old days sure look familiar... from UCAP Fodder by Dave Higdon
They were so tactile. So in-touch and unobstructed. These traits still stand among the many strong appeals of the hang gliders and ultralights that started me off in aviation. These traits help keep me on the look-out for opportunities to still fly some of my old favs...when we can make it work, well, we go flying in something of the Lightest Stuff.
In between those too-infrequent opportunities, unfortunately, great memory jogs -- sights and sounds that send my mind's eye back into the air in one of the Lightest Stuff -- seem few and far between. When they come, they're worth savoring -- half out of nostalgia, half for the inspiration to get aloft again. ...

Movie Monday - March 16 - Me-262 1944 Training Film from Flightblogger by Jon Ostrower
This week's Movie Monday is an pretty amazing find. Buried deep on Google Video I found a Luftwaffe training video from 1944 of the Messerschmitt Me-262 - the world's first jet powered aircraft. According to the description on the video:
The original audio is long since gone. However, the replaced narration is that of Franz Steigler, who flew the plane and watched the film during the war.
The film, which is 46 minutes, is an extraordinary piece of primary source material for understanding the revolutionary leap in technology that occurred at the end of World War II. I watched it transfixed on the amazing history found in this video. What unfolds below is really a demonstration of the fragility of the first jet fighter and its clear tendency to overheat. ...
