Aviation Week Grounds Top Critic of Gajillion-Dollar Jet (Updated) from Wired: Danger Room by Noah Shachtman - One of the aviation industry's biggest critics of the Pentagon's gajillion-dollar fighter jet has been temporarily barred from writing about the controversial plane. Bill Sweetman has authored over 30 books on military aircraft, and now edits Defense Technology International, a monthly magazine put out by Aviation Week. Few journalists today know more about tactical aircraft. And few have been more critical of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the jet that's eventually supposed to replace as much as 95% of combat planes. "The program is no longer at risk of failure," he wrote in March on Aviation Week's defense blog, Ares. "It has already failed."…

Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago - No launch vehicle is so closely identified with the satellite communications industry than the Delta rocket. A direct descendant of the 1950s Thor intermediate-range ballistic missile and initially known as the Thor-Delta, through the 1960s the Delta rocket had firmly established its reputation as a reliable medium-lift launch vehicle that had not only orbited the first telecommunications satellites (Echo, Syncom, Telstar) but also the first weather satellites (TIROS) as well as a wide range of scientific probes (the Explorer series and the OSO solar-observation satellites). The vehicle was progressively modified for increases in capacity and performance but the real revolution launched aboard the Delta rocket would come in 1972…

Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago - In the 1930s Germany, the Horten brothers, Reimar, Walter, and Wolfram, had made a name for themselves creating elegant flying wing gliders of an advanced design. They joined the Luftwaffe in 1936 as pilots, but Reimar and Walter were encouraged to continue their advanced design work while Wolfram went on become a Heinkel He 111 pilot. He was killed in battle having been shot down over Dunkirk in 1940 but had participated in the early development of the Horten glider designs. With the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, they were offered jobs with Heinkel and Messerschmitt, but disagreements with Ernst Heinkel and Willy Messerschmitt scuttled any employment with the prestigious firms. With knowledge of Northrop's advanced flying wing work in the United States and a war going on, senior Luftwaffe officials established Sonderkommando 9 at Gottingen Airfield with the brothers in command to allow them continue development work on their flying wing designs…

Group Hopes To Pull "Oldest" P-38 From UK Beach from AVwebFlash Current Issue - Lost during a training mission in 1942, a Lockheed P-38 Lightning was first revealed by shifting sands at Gwynedd, UK, in 2007; now a recovery team aims extract the aircraft, in whole, from its partially submerged spot. The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) began looking after the aircraft when it was discovered three years ago. The aircraft was identified as the Maid of Harlech, which was flown by Second Lieutenant Robert Elliot. The Lieutenant walked away from the crash that eventually saw the aircraft buried, but was reported missing in action three months later while flying in Tunisia. His "Maid" is now thought to be perhaps the oldest surviving P-38 airframe. As such, museums are in discussions with TIGHAR over hosting the aircraft. But removal of the seriously eroded airframe, from its sand-and-seawater home of 68 years, won't be easy…

Purdue University gets new fleet of training airplanes - WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Purdue University is getting a new fleet of training airplanes. News Channel 18 got an exclusive flight inside one of them. Purdue University will get 16 new training airplanes. But, first let's take a look at the previous fleet. "This is what we've been using in the past for training, it's a single engine airplane, has 160 horsepower and it's an excellent training aircraft," said Bernie Wulle. Aviation Technology Professor Bernie Wulle said Purdue has been using these Piper Warrior planes for more than 20 years. "It's metal, aluminum, tricycle landing gear, pretty easy to learn to fly in it and this is what has been our mainstay for probably the past 25 years," said Wulle…

Tech Pre-Production Continues from AcroCamp by Stephen Force (Steve Tupper) …I spent the morning and early afternoon over at Ray Community Airport with Todd Yuhas of Berz Flight Training crawling all over the Pitts to investigate camera mounts and audio setup.

I was a little worried prior to today because a quarter or so of the footage (and – because the introduction of the Pitts will be an escalation point in the film – some of the most important footage) will be in the Pitts and that needs to work. But I think that we have out ducks in a row and are good to go with the airplane…

The Age of Very Light Jets from Wayne Farley's Aviation Blog by Wayne Farley | The age of very-light jets (VLJ) is upon us. You can call them microjets, entry-level jets or very light personal jets; but these aircraft are small, single-pilot operated and designed to seat 4-8 people, with a maximum take-off weight of under 10,000 pounds. They are lighter than what is commonly termed business jets, and can operate into smaller airports with 3000 feet runways. As an aviation professional and an artist, I'm intrigued by these lean, aesthetically crafted machines which sometimes look like they are from another world. With the exception of the Embraer Phenom and the Piper Jet which were already featured, here's a list of VLJs that may show up at your airport one day…
Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago - 1981: "I'M AN ACKER BACKER" pins are on everyone's lapels.
1985: "I'M AN ACKER BACKER" pins are in everyone's trashcans. For years labor negotiations at Pan Am were always cordial and easily managed by both managers and union representatives who both passionate about the near-imperial status of their airline. Labor strife? That's below us. Strikes? That's below us here an Pan Am, too. Usually new labor agreements were hammered out at some local bar down the street from Pan Am's landmark New York City headquarters building. But that changed from 1981. Was it the airline's new chairman, smooth talking Texan C. Edward Acker? Was it the infusion of the employees of National Airlines in 1979? Was it deregulation?...
