Eugene Bullard, the World’s First Black Fighter Pilot By Larry Greenly, Roger-Wilco | A generation to whom an African-American US President is a normal thing may have some trouble imagining an age where a young guy with top-notch credentials and abilities had to go to France to realize his true potential, becoming a fighter pilot in World War I and then being active in the French Underground in World War II.

Sunday trip to the Hot Air Balloon Festival and why it’s more fun in the Philippines, really - ai's cracker | One time, my Singaporean boss asked me if it would be all right if my work takes me to the Philippines couple of times instead of staying all year round in Singapore. That wasn’t the first time he asked me (and I would always answer, I’m fine with it, and I’m not sure if he believes me when I say that because he’d ask again). Actually, the question is understandable because many Filipinos like to leave the Philippines for good (thanks to goddamn traffic, life threatening pollution, and mtherfcking indolence and corruption everywhere), but many of us would love to return and stay here, too. Some friends and relatives in the U.S., for instance, would fly back to Manila every now and then despite expensive airfares. The explanation for this can be found in the Department of Tourism’s latest 6-word slogan...

Another Aviation Movie In The Works from AVwebFlash Current Issue | Hollywood's aviation films often prove disappointing to aviators -- though it might be argued that a bad flying film is still better than none -- and another one now in the works, starring Denzel Washington, provides a fresh chance to see if Hollywood can portray the life of a pilot in a way that rings true. Flight, which started production last October, tells the story of an airline pilot, played by Washington, who becomes a hero after coping with an in-flight emergency but then is revealed to have problems with drugs and alcohol. The director is Robert Zemeckis, who also directed Forrest Gump, Back to the Future, and Cast Away.
