The adrenaline rush from the T-38 ride at Beale has subsided just enough that I can sit down and begin to rationally inventory the content that we captured on the trip. I spent part of this afternoon going through some of Mark LaCoste's still pictures. While Mark was primarily handling video, he also shot some really good stills.
I flew four cameras on the sortie – three mounted and one hand-held. Here, I'm mounting a couple of ContourHDs. You can see the GoPro HD Hero through the glass just opposite where my belt buckle would be if I ...

For James Page Eaton of Oakmont, the skies were meant for flying forever.
The 93-year old pilot and plane mechanic was honored for his more than 72 years of aviation by the Federal Aviation Administration, garnering its prestigious Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award and Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award.
Eaton was feted for his contributions to safe flight operations during a ceremony at the Citizens Hose No. 2 fire hall in Natrona Heights, where he also received citations from Gov. Ed Rendell and the state house and senate.
These were not easy awards for Eaton, who still flies a 1947 Bonanza 35 at Rock Airport in West Deer, where, on a clear day, he can see Lake Erie.

B-29 Caricature Drawing From Back In The Day: Watcha Think? by Martt
The post from a few days ago about the B-29 FIFI's first flight in 4 years, which is scheduled for tomorrow, got me remembering this drawing that I did back in 1988. Back about that time, I started a little t-shirt company making caricatures of iconic aircraft like the Piper Cub, the DC-3, and the P-51. I didn't have hardly any money at the time (Ha! Very little seems to change in my life!) so I only ran ads in Trade-A-Plane for the shirts since it was a cheap place to get some good exposure. Well, I had some success, but nothing like I had hoped for. But I did have a guy request that I do a B-29. ...
