Wings Over Wairarapa 2011: Post 10 - Yakovlev Yak-52 displays from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings | This year the Yakrobats team put on a couple of really nice displays.

Commentary was by Yak 52 owner, weather man and cafe owner Jim Hickey - a very funny chap. Apparently he thinks ZK-ZAH is the best presented Yak 52 in the southern hemisphere... guess which one he owns :-) …

A Really Good Show from Air Facts Online Column | Most of you never heard of The Reading Show. It was, though, a measure of general aviation that clearly separated post WW-II general aviation into two eras, pre-1980 and from that year to the present. The contrast is amazing. The activity, sponsored by Reading Aviation Service at Reading, Pennsylvania, started in 1950. It was originally a one-day affair billed as an operations and maintenance clinic. Pilots got together with "experts" and talked about their flying and their airplanes…

Airspeed: Flying the Black Rocket: The Northrop T-38 Talon from airspeedonline.blogspot.com | I've loved the Northrop T-38 for years.

It's sleek and pointy and fast (Mach 1.3 capable). It's the advanced jet trainer for the US Air Force. And it's also the companion trainer for many of the Air Force's most amazing aircraft…

Capable of speeds of Mach 2.2 and altitudes of nearly 60,000ft, the Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-29 "Fulcrum" is a far cry from the vintage airplanes that Historic Flight Foundation specializes in restoring.

Cockpit Conversation by Aviatrix (cockpitconversation@gmail.com) I listened to a radio show about nostalgia (ha! "I listened to a radio show" is nostalgia enough for some people). The research conclusion was that people like nostalgia because they are pleased to be able to remember something from the past, especially something that their peers confirm that they remember too, proving that it's a correct memory. It's the opposite of the feeling you get when you can't remember how to do something you once did every day…
