The Mach 3 Phantom from Tails Through Time by JP SantiagoIn the 1960s the development of high-performance reconnaissance cameras offered greater resolution, but at a price- many of these systems were large and heavy and the current high-altitude spyplane of the time, the first generation variants of the Lockheed U-2, were unable to carry them. One of the premier recon optical systems developed at this time was the General Dynamics HIAC-1- a long range, oblique camera with a focal length of 66 inches that allowed stand-off reconnaissance from high altitudes. The first examples of HIAC-1 were heavy- the prototype camera system weighed over 3,500 lbs, much more than any other camera system in use at the time (excepting the very big Boston Camera carried by the B-36 and C-97 in the 1950s that weighed 3 tons and had a focal length of 240 inches). The only aircraft in the USAF...

Video: The Entire Unlimited Gold Race At Reno 2009 by Martt
Here's an excellent video that shows the entire 8 laps of the Unlimited Gold race at the Reno Air Races on Sunday September 20, 2009.  Watch Steve Hinton Jr and Strega dominate the race and finish as the 2009 Champion.
The video is a nice compliment to the CoolPix of Strega, and it really gives you a pretty good feel for what air racing is like at about 500mph and 50' off the ground... of course it's always better to see and hear in person!

The Macchi C.202 Folgore of the National Air and Space Museum by David Cenciotti
The picture shows the aircraft Macchi C.202 Folgore marked 9476 exhibited at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.

Not quite right: early conception of the "Bear" from The Unwanted Blog
A 1954 US Air Force sketch of the "Tupelov-Gurevich Intercontinental Bombardment Airplane." Clearly this is meant to be the Tu-95 "Bear" bomber, but it misses the mark in a number of areas… the fuselage is shown far larger in diameter than the actual aircraft, and of course the Bear only had four engines, not six. ...

April 15 from Cut and Paste Aviation
... 1943 -- Operation Flax is put into effect, the systematic targeting by Allied fighter pilots of Luftwaffe transport aircraft bound for North Africa.
This interdiction operation led to the April 18 "Palm Sunday Massacre". Three squadrons of P-40's assigned to the 57th Fighter Group along with one squadron of P-40' from the 324th Group were on patrol. They were off Cape Bon flying with a top cover of Spitfires. They intercepted the largest aerial convoy of transports to date. The Germans decided to try a force in mass that could defend itself. The slow Junker 52 transports were on their way with supplies to the German Army in North Africa. The accounts of the total lost on both sides differ except that the Americans did lose six P-40's and one Spitfire. The German loss was staggering. The Americans claimed fifty-to-seventy of the German tri-motors were lost along with approximately sixteen to eighteen fighters, consisting of Macchi 202s, Bf-109's, and ME-110's. The actual German loss was 51 aircraft total. Still it is a blow for the supply depot in Tunisia waiting for them.  ...

Dreams of freedom: The essence and beauty of America from Air Force Link Top Stories
Independence Day celebrates the birthday of the United States of America and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, by our Founding Fathers. It's a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks and a reason to fly the American flag. This week, as we celebrate the country's 233rd Fourth of July, most of us will be enjoying festivities alongside friends and family.
I'd like to honor all those who cannot be home to celebrate this important holiday due to our combat operations overseas. They are there in harm's way, not just to protect our nation, but to protect an idea, a philosophy, a way of life called America.

RAF Waddington, UK Airshow arrivals. Blog/report 3-6-09 from Gary Watson's Posts - Stick and Rudder
Really bad weather on the Friday arrivals day saw these aircraft at RAF Waddington from 08.00hrs to 13.00hrs before calling it a day. A visit to the south dispersal was made on the way out for some 'through the fence' shots. A German F4 was a surprise to see, as I thought they were retired by now in GAF service. Loads of AWACS were littered around the airfield and two marks of Nimrod and a R2 parked up on the south dispersal. The Polish Air Force aerobatic team had a brief run-out till the clouds came lower, but at least they got up.
