I can relate to this....

Nice Mike, I don't remember that one....Pete

I was fooling around in the QMB today, flying the MiGs, Sabers and F9Fs. Those airplanes are real classics and a lot of fun. I've always had a liking for the early jets and would love to see so coops with them!

After Tuesday's furball, I wanted to return to base, but.....

Great collection of WWII photos, most of Army Air Corps after Iwo Jima captured: http://tinyurl.com/ykt7v6j

Just got back from the theater.

I love the DC-3 and C-47.

This is cute..... vl_15082008_comercial_lamborghini_compacto.wmv

I'd say these guys know their craft.... AlaskaBushPilotsShortTakeoffAndLandingCompetition.wmv

Some kewl stuff in there, but a DC-3 with turbine engines?

January 10, 1964, started out as a typical day for the flight test group at Boeing's Wichita plant.

Nice tribute, Beebop.

>From Brian Shul, Retired SR-71 Pilot As a former SR-71 pilot, and a professional keynote speaker, the question I'm most often asked is "How fast would that SR-71 fly?" I can be assured of hearing that question several times at any event I attend. It's an interesting question, given the aircraft's proclivity for speed, but there really isn't one number to give, as the jet would always give you a little more speed if you wanted it to. It was common to see 35 miles a minute. Because we flew a programmed Mach number on most missions, and never wanted to harm the plane in any way, we never let it run out to any limits of temperature or speed. Thus, each SR-71 pilot had his own individual high speed that he saw at some point on some mission. I saw mine over Libya when Khadafy fired two missiles my way, and max power was in order. Lets just say that the plane truly loved speed and effortlessly took us to Mach numbers we hadn't previously seen. So it was with great surprise, when at the end of one of my presentations, someone asked, "What was the slowest you ever flew the Blackbird?"

These guys are amazing:

I think this guy is a candidate for the Darwin awards.... how_to_change_afanbelt.wmv

I have enormous respect for these guys.

This is cool! http://home.comcast.net/~bzee1b/Zeppelin/Zeppelin.html

Fascinating reading.... B17log.pdf

Some cool aircraft here!
