MaciekR Report post Posted April 17, 2015 Clip from a quick spin I took tonight down the Skyline Route to the Newark transition where one of the air traffic controller's at Newark threw on the lights on intersecting runway 29 for me to spot the runway and follow it then head back to KCDW. Definitely a cool experience overflying EWR at 2000' at night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koenig928 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Love stories like this and would love to own and be able to fly one http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-32488837 Will be interesting to see what they go for. An airport near here, someone has a Spitfire (can't remember the exact model), he flies it most weekends. My Dad kept a plane there as well. The Spitfire would do some high speed passes of the airport, before landing. I've wanted that plane since it arrived at our airport in the 90's. Very cool sight to see and hear a Spitfire flying.

MaciekR Report post Posted April 29, 2015 Made a quick trip to KMGJ to check out my future plane choices, the DA40 and DA42; unbelievable how quiet the diesel DA42 is, and how quick it is, 200kt cruise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koenig928 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 A local to me airport, about 5miles from my house, holds an international airshow every year. I've been going since the late 70's. Since we are close to Seattle (2hrs away), usually the U.S military brings a few planes. A-10 to F15 and the Blue Angels or The Thunderbirds. Its a great show. But since Obama has taken office, they cut the foreign airshow budget, so no American planes. Only a U.S Border patrol Blackhawk helicopter last year, but the airport is 2 miles from the border and it was in the area. Without planes like the A-10 or F-15, etc. the show is boring. I really miss the American military. Over the years they have had everything at the show, even an SR-71 showed up. This year I'm not going.

Love the break down of what happened and why he reacted the way he did and what he could have done better. I booked marked this for when I am at site so that I can use it during my safety briefs and a real world example of how proper planning pays off.

Basstones Report post Posted May 26, 2015 Interesting video Art Nalls has had a life long dedication to flying. His addiction to the sky has lead him to an honorable military career and an even more adventurous retirement. Nalls has had the unique opportunity to purchase his own British Harrier Jump Jet. Find out how this retired Lt. Col test pilot uses his passion for flight to help preserve military history with the maintenance and upkeep of the last three remaining Sea Harriers.

capt_chaos Report post Posted August 22, 2015 Shoreham Air Show Plane crash in UK, 7 dead 14 injured: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/aviation/1...-Show-Live.html That is less than two miles from me. Whole area is shut down. Very sad. 2007 they lost a Hurricane and there has been a series of events of late, I am not sure the event can carry on which is a shame.

Robster Craws Report post Posted October 13, 2015 The best 22 minutes you'll spend today. The Army tried having this video suppressed to so it couldn't be released because they're trying to phase out A10 warthog , and usher in the F 35. But it was leaked and it's awesome.
