Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.
According to an interview with Dr Edgar Mitchel in the Mail Online, Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.
Mitchell is quoted as saying:
'I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real,' Dr Mitchell said.
'It's been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it's leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it.
'I've been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes - we have been visited. Reading the papers recently, it's been happening quite a bit.'

Thunderbirds Are Go x TeNQ: A Match Made in the Heavens!
Tokyo Dome City’s Space Museum TeNQ is a pretty awesome place on its own, especially for the more scientifically-inclined among us. But combine it with the renowned sci-fi masterpiece Thunderbirds and you’ve got a space exhibit that’s totally out of this world!
Set in the 2060s, Thunderbirds (no relation to the bullet train) depicts an era in which humans have begun colonising the vast reaches of outer space. Originally broadcast in the UK in 1965, the series was reborn as Thunderbirds Are Go in 2015, and now it has landed in the Land of the Rising Sun! With the help of TeNQ’s cutting-edge technology, you can relive the magic of this beloved series by watching its futuristic innovations brought to life before your very eyes!
With the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and other agencies at the helm, the world of science fiction is getting closer to becoming a reality with each passing day. Every kid has dreamt of being an astronaut at one point or another, and the countless movies and television series set in outer space are proof that our collective interest in the subject is as strong as ever. So if you’ve ever wondered what living in a space colony would be like, then this is something you definitely don’t want to miss!
There are plenty of questions remaining before we can all start packing our bags and moving to outer space, though. For instance, what’s a space elevator, and is it even possible to create one? Is there anything to gain from probing asteroids? What about all that trash floating around in space – won’t it cause issues down the line? Join the Thunderbirds on their journey and discover the answers to these questions and more. Consider it a sneak preview of a future that may very well be the present before you know it!
Location: 1-3-61 Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo Dome City, Yellow Building 6F, Space Museum TeNQ
Weekdays: 11am – 9pm (last entry 8pm)

Alitalia successor ITA orders 28 aircraft from Airbus
Italy’s new ITA Airways has ordered 28 Airbus (AIR.PA) planes, the German-French conglomerate said in a statement on Wednesday, confirming a Memorandum of Understanding signed in September.
The order includes seven compact A220 jets, eleven of the company’s blockbuster model A320neo, and ten A330neo widebody airliners.
“In addition, the airline will pursue its plans to lease A350s to complement its fleet modernisation,” the company said.
ITA started flying in place of Alitalia in October, after the airline that was once a symbol of Italian style and glamour was finally grounded due to years of losses and failed rescue attempts.

History of Birchwood Nature Park
RAF Skellingthorpe (1941 - c 1945)
As part of 5 Group Bomber command, RAF Skellingthorpe played a major part in the Second World War. The two main squadrons based there were :
50 Squadron (Motto: From Defence to Attack)
61 Squadron (Motto: Thundering through the clear air)
Story of the Airfield
The airfield was newly built in 1941. The first squadron to arrive in November 1941 was 50 squadron flying Handley Page Hampdens. They were accompanied by 455 squadron Royal Australian Airforce also flying Hampdens. This squadron then moved to RAF Wigsley after a short stay.
In April 1942, the Hampdens were replaced by Avro Manchesters; these were not a popular aircraft as they had a tendency to catch fire!
RAF Skellingthorpe was closed in June 1942 to allow for runway extensions and repairs, with 50 Squadron returning in September 1942, equipped with Avro Lancasters. They were joined by No 97 and 106 Conversion Flights, but these soon moved to RAF Swinderby.
No 1485 Bomber Gunnery Flight also came and stayed until November 1943. They operated Miles Martinet and Vickers Wellington aircraft. As they left, they were replaced by 61 Squadron operating Avro Lancasters. 61 Squadron moved to RAF Coningsby in February 1944, so that accommodation could be built on the Doddington Road side of the airfield.
50 and 61 Squadrons operated together until the end of the hostilities.
Whilst the ground crews of both squadrons worked hard to keep their aircraft flying, a detachment of 58 Maintenance Unit worked in the hangars carrying out major repairs and maintenance on the Lancasters.
In mid 1945, two new squadrons arrived; no’s 463 and 619. They were training for operations with Tiger Force in the Far East, but with the end of hostilities, these squadrons were disbanded.
50 and 61 Squadrons
50 Squadron took part in the first 1,000 bomber raid on Cologne on 30/31 May 1942.
One plane was piloted by Flying Officer Leslie Manser. His Manchester was hit but he remained at the controls to allow his crew to escape by parachute. Three of his crew evaded the enemy and escaped to Britain to fly and fight again. For this act of courage, he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross.
The Leslie Manser School has been built on part of the airfield and his name will not be forgotten.
50 Squadron completed the most overall sorties in Bomber Command and dropped the greatest tonnage of bombs (approx. 21000 tonnes). This squadron lost 1002 aircrew and ground staff during the war.
61 Squadron carried out more raids than any other Lancaster Squadron and completed the second highest number of bombing raids in Bomber Command “heavy” squadron. 974 aircrew and ground staff from this squadron were lost during the war.
Casualties were high as there was only a one in three chance of aircrew completing a tour of 30 operations over enemy territory, but all these young men were still very keen to fight for us to hasten the end of the war.
There is a lasting bond between the surviving members of these two squadrons and a memorial has been erected at Birchwood Leisure Centre. A service is held there each June and on Remembrance Sunday to remember their lost colleagues.
Other reminders of the airfield are the Lancaster County Infant School and in the Church of St. Luke and St. Martin, there is a wooden bookcase presented by the 50 and 61 Squadrons Associates.
As you walk through Birchwood Nature Park, which occupies a small part of the airfield, just give a thought to all those young men who flew from this airfield - some of them “Failed to Return”.
The Black Swan public house was named after the R/T call sign of the airfield.

The TSA has released a press announcement about an aircraft that returned to Portland after trouble with a passenger.
“Today on Hawaiian Airlines Flight 39 from Portland International Airport (PDX) to Kahului Airport (OGG), the captain made a decision to return the plane to Portland due to a suspicious passenger who made threatening remarks and refused to store his carry-on bag.
At 16:16 pm. EST the plane landed at PDX without further incident. Currently, law enforcement officers and TSA are interviewing the passenger in question.”


As the world ushered in 2019, China landed a probe on the dark side of the moon—a feat never before attempted. If you read one thing this week, make it this deep-dive from MIT Technology Review. Published just two weeks before the historical landing, it provides a comprehensive look at what’s happening in China’s space exploration program: the state agencies planning a permanent crewed space station, to be completed by 2022, but also a brand-new cohort of ambitious private companies. Just as SpaceX transformed things in the U.S., these startups are changing China’s space industry, and China is competing with America to be the number 1 superpower in space.

Women have been flying planes ever since there have been planes to fly, but, with a few notable exceptions, they have not been visible or well known. Tenacious, determined and sometimes fearless, Kathy Mexted shares the stories of ten extraordinary Australian women compelled to take to the skies. You will meet trailblazers like Nancy Bird Walton, Deborah Wardley, who was told by Ansett that women couldn't be pilots, and Gaby Kennard, the first Australian woman to fly solo around the world. Others are perhaps less known, but as flyers of Spitfires, Tiger Moths, Cessnas and fighter jets, their stories are just as extraordinary. Packed with drama, adventure and sometimes heartbreak, this riveting book is a salute to those women who refused to keep their feet on the ground.

Book: The Martian
Right now, Mark has just gotten communication with NASA. The rover is working now, and he made a system to talk with NASA. NASA told him to reprogram the rover to upgrade, and now they can type to each other. A lot of the stuff the book is saying is stuff that I don't understand, like symbols for special types of batteries and electronics. It's a little bit confusing, but not really effecting how I understand the book, and I still get what he does when it says that scientific stuff. I'm almost half way done with the book, and I am liking it so far, and I want to see the movie soon.

Humans are one step nearer to determining the mysteries of the universe — and it is all due to a NASA capsule that simply obtained again with some house soil … from a good distance away!
The capsule was shot down from a bigger mom ship spacecraft referred to as OSIRIS-REx, which obtained launched into the sky a complete 7 years in the past … with the concept being that it’d journey billions of miles to achieve an enormous asteroid named Bennu, which whereas far … it is nonetheless inside attain for us.
NASA wished to check particles from this asteroid, which is alleged to be very, very previous. Scientists say the samples collected are going to assist us perceive extra about our origins, to not point out different discoveries about our photo voltaic system and perhaps even the galaxy at massive.
It took some time, however the capsule lastly touched down Sunday … touchdown in a Utah desert, the place NASA deployed helicopters as a part of a restoration group. Seems they wished to be additional cautious with this factor — even once they obtained again to the lab, it was hazmat go well with galore.
As for what precisely the samples include … it is principally simply rocks and mud, however contemplating it comes from an asteroid that possible traveled from a far distance, precaution is important.
While that is the primary such asteroid mission for NASA, Japan’s house company has already beat us to it … a pair completely different instances, really. Still, it is a main accomplishment for the U.S. — and simply one other instance of individuals venturing out into house increasingly now.
With the samples again right here on Earth, they will now go to Texas for additional examine. NASA says it plans to disclose its findings someday in October.


Project MoTa – Modern Taxiing – promises the capabilities of an automated decision support system that can provide taxiing path suggestions and conflict detection and assists in the transition from current technology by developing a human centered user platform. Meanwhile, developing such a system requires a simulated air traffic control environment, both for testing new concepts and for validation. To this end, the djnn framework was used to build an environment – displaying a large number of SVG graphical objects and interactive components – and begun evaluating taxiing performance for the ground operations in the southern area of Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.

A Pilot's View
As a pilot, I have a unique perspective on the world. The view from the cockpit is unlike anything else, and it allows me to explore and appreciate the beauty of the wilderness from a different angle. I am always in awe of the topography of the southwestern United States. The barren deserts, rugged mountains, and vast canyons are like nothing else on earth. The geography and landscape are rich and varied, and the climate is harsh and unforgiving. But, that's what makes flying over this region so exciting.
However, flying is not a romantic thing. It's a practical and challenging endeavor that requires constant attention to detail. From the flight plan to weather conditions, air traffic control, alternate airport plans, fuel and food supplies, and weight balance on board, every aspect must be closely monitored. Once the plane takes off, it must keep a distance from everything. I am in all things around me, but I can't touch them. It's a humbling and exhilarating experience that I am lucky to have as my profession.
作為一名飛行員，我對世界有著獨特的看法。 駕駛艙的景色與眾不同，讓我從不同的角度探索和欣賞荒野之美。 我總是對美國西南部的地形感到敬畏。 貧瘠的沙漠、崎嶇的山脈和廣闊的峽谷與地球上的其他任何地方都不一樣。 地理和景觀豐富多樣，氣候嚴酷無情。 但是，這就是飛越該地區如此令人興奮的原因。
然而，飛行並不是一件浪漫的事情。 這是一項實際且具有挑戰性的工作，需要不斷關注細節。 從飛行計劃到天氣狀況、空中交通管制、備降機場計劃、燃料和食品供應以及機上重量平衡，每個方面都必須密切監控。 飛機一旦起飛，就必須與一切保持距離。 我在我周圍的一切事物中，但我無法觸及它們。 作為我的職業，我很幸運能夠擁有這種既謙卑又令人振奮的經歷。


|Our plane trip starting from Glasgow.|
Travel in the book is not confined to the Scottish islands but I'm sharing a few neat little photos from that trip I've just mentioned.
This first one looks like a bit of heavy cloud in the background? - It's not but you'll have to wait and read the book to find out what it REALLY was.
Typical Scottish weather for June it was not all clear blue skies but the views were tremendous. Although I have flown in a small aircraft (15 seater) and had a balloon trip I'd never flown so close to the ground. The advantage of a seaplane trip, for me, was seeing the details below so clearly. No photo of me available, I'm afraid, but viewing from the co-pilots seat was amazing!

Airline tour is one of the most secure sorts of public transportation but those risky airports still scare humans.
1. Narsarsuaq Airport, Greenland
Just like Antartica, the extreme airports in cold Greenland are constantly covered in ice. At only 1,800 meters and canvassed in slick ice, this runway is the maximum hard in the global for any pilot. The weather is constantly stormy creating severe turbulence and coffee visibility on method making it the worst airport within the world for both flight workforce as well as passengers.
2. MCAS Futenma, Okinawa
This airport is situated in a US Marine Corps Air Station in Okinawa, Japan. The military and the Marine Corps rank it because the most risky airport in the global in which F/A-18 Hornets and V-22 Osprey constantly land. The vicinity is strategically important to the USA Navy.
3. Madeira Airport, Portugal
Madeira Airport is one of the few in the world where engineers build a runway platform that allows you to increase. The landing strip sits among steep cliffs and the shores of the sea. Pilots truly don’t have sufficient area to land.
4. McMurdo Air Station, Antarctica
Now not many human beings travel to Antartica, which means that the airport infrastructure there is notably lacking. This runway is not especially short, but it’s far fabricated from slick ice that could purpose planes to run askew if the touchdown isn’t always best.
5. Gibraltar International
This might be the most severe airport in South Europe. while this runway is not specially hard to land at, an thrilling layout characteristic makes it highly risky. the main road inside the location, Winston Churchill road, intersects the runway and must be closed when a plane needs to land.
6. Paro Airport in Bhutan, Himalayan Mountains
Constantly ranked as one of the maximum risky airports in the global, only 8 pilots are qualified to land in this airstrip. The runway is surrounded through 5,500-meter peaks with a runway best 1981 meters lengthy.
7. Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten
Like a few different runways in Careebeen Sea, Princess Juliana Airport that is located in Saint Maarten is perhaps the most well-known at the list, maximum high-quality for the general public seaside situated simply earlier than the runway. The runway is simplest 2,179 meters long, which could be very short thinking about the big aircraft that land right here requires more than 2,500 meters to make sure a safe touchdown.
8. Toncontin Airport, Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Toncontin Airport is no exclusive. so as for planes to put together for the descent, they need to make a quick 45-degree bank flip to reach the runway in a valley. After this bank, planes ought to rapidly drop in altitude, being cautious no longer to scrape the terrain immediately under. excessive altitude makes flights to this town a real undertaking.
9. Courchevel International Airport in France
The shortest runway of any airport at 525 meters (1722 feet). no longer only this however the paved runway has a downward gradient of 18.5% which makes starting off even extra hard. to add on pinnacle of the already tough landing, the runway is constructed right into the Alps in which pilots must fly through a narrow valley even to put together for descent.
10. Lukla Airport in Nepal
The Lukla Airport in Nepal serves as the main airport for those journeying Mt. Everest. part of what makes this airport so tough to land in is how it’s far nestled in between mountains and the incredibly brief duration of the runway.


TOWANDA — Families will have lots to see and do Saturday if they stop by the Bradford County Airport, as the facility will be hosting a fly-in pancake breakfast following by a Touch-a-Truck event.
While there will be lots of ground vehicles such as fire trucks, police cars, tractors, cranes and more for adults and kids to check out, there will also be medical and police helicopters, among other aviation machinery.
However, the event is also expecting a special guest — weather permitting, of course.
Andrew McKenna, who lives in Virginia but has family ties to the Valley in Bradford County, is set to be amongst those flying in to the airport Saturday with his World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane.
McKenna is one of just 10 members of the United States Air Force Heritage Flight team — a group of veteran and civilian pilots who perform heritage air shows in honor of Air Force members.
“I’ve been doing it for five years, but it still gives me goosebumps,” he said. “It’s an absolute honor to be a part of the program.”
McKenna noted that he also considered it an honor to fly into Bradford County with his P-51, which is one of only 175 flyable models in the world today.
“The Bradford County community has been very good to me,” he said. “My wife is from the Athens area, and every time I visit I’m just grateful and impressed by the strong veteran community there. I’m actually honored to be able to bring the P-51 to Bradford County, because there’s no better community to share it with.”
McKenna explained that he has owned the P-51 since 2013 after owning a T-6 Texan since 2008, and that the purchase of the P-51 was a natural progression for his passion for flying.
“It was made during World War II when there was a need for long-range fighter planes to escort bomber planes across Europe,” he said. “The prototype of the P-51 was made in just 180 days. Then, on a whim, they put a Rolls Royce engine into the frame to give it a bit more power.
“It’s still one of the fastest single-engine pistol aircraft in the world today,” McKenna continued. “Which is absolutely incredible considering it was designed and built in just 180 days. It’s become an iconic fighter plane, and it’s an amazing piece of history.”
The fly-in pancake breakfast will take place from 8 to 10 a.m. on Saturday, with the touch-a-truck event immediately following from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Breakfast will be $10 for adults, $5 for kids under 12, and kids under five are free. The touch-a-truck event will be free to the community.

Beauty flies in me. And it will in you soon…
It is a fact that around 25% of people have at least some kind of fear, and for many, flying is one of those fears. While 1 in 10 people have a phobia of flying, if you are one of them I can guarantee you that you are not alone. What’s more, often the biggest hurdle is confronting the matter in the first place, so by simply visiting this website you’ve taken the first step towards overcoming your fear.
As The Flying Psychotherapist, I have over 23 years of flying experience all over the world dealing with all types of cultures and populations of people. My training as a Flight Attendant goes beyond just being on an airplane for the passenger’s safety or for the beverage service. The most important part of being a Flight Attendant is that we are the first responder under any circumstance that happens on the aircraft. From responding to a passenger having a heart attack, choking, vomiting or even death to the passengers with fear of flying, our role is to respond immediately to any emergency on or with the airplane.
My mission as The Flying Psychotherapist, is to combine both of my professions, being a Flight Attendant for a commercial airline and a Clinical Psychotherapist. As a pyschotherapist I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE), a therapy that helps people deal with trauma.
“I help people through situations on the ground and in the air.”
My goal is to teach you some of the beauty that there is to being on an airplane, and that you do not have to fear not having control of the aircraft because the pilots are well-trained professionals that are prepared to deal with any situation that may come their way.
In my last two decades of flying, I have had total confidence in all of the pilots I have flown with because I know that they too have loved ones on the ground, and therefore they would not get on an aircraft with a serious mechanical issue and jeopardize their own lives in any way.
As you may have already heard, flying is one of the safest forms of transportation, yet it is the one mode of transportation feared the most. I am here to show you the BEAUTY THAT CAN FLY IN YOU just by opening yourself up to it. We can work on this goal together. I will be with you every step of the way.

The Air Traffic Management
The first air route traffic control center (ARTCC), which directs the movement of aircraft between departure and destination, was opened in Newark in 1935. Old Tech is still running America’s air traffic control even though people plan to go to Mars. The improvements in the US ATC system are significant, but have come at a much slower pace than some other countries. The federal procurement process is so cumbersome that too often equipment is outdated when it is installed. The FAA is moving steadily toward replacing the old system of ground-based radars to track aircraft with one that relies on satellite-based technologies which is Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). The transition from radar surveillance to Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) or better tech to track airplanes in flight and on the ground more accurately and reliably.
But as tech pushes on, we have 5G system and better systems that can be apply to ATC system. And it will provide more reliable and safe ATC system. There is a much greater quantity of traffic in the US than in most countries and we need better ATC system for the traffic. The purpose of the research is how modernization of ATC can have more benefit then Old Tech.

Fly the Airport
Merritt Island Airport is your gateway to freedom on Florida’s Atlantic Coast. It is a beautiful non-controlled field, with a county-owned paved 3601 ft. lighted concrete runway. The airport’s north apron recently underwent $1 million in renovations, and in addition to its 148 current T-hangars another 67 are scheduled to be built beginning in the near future.
This progressive facility offers pilots a wide range of aeronautical services, including full aircraft maintenance, an avionics shop, FBO, flight school and fuel. One of the EAA’s most active chapters is located here.
Merritt Island Riverview residents will enjoy the flexibility of 24-hour access and a relaxed atmosphere. The airport features a GPS approach, but, due to its sub-tropical location, VFR weather predominates. CTAF/Unicom is 122.975, and the AWOS is 119.025.

Calgary's first airport was a grass field airport in the town of Bowness in 1914. In 1928 it was replaced with the Calgary Municipal Airport in the Renfrew area. 1938, Airport opened in the Calgary's northeast and was christened McCall Field in honor of Fred McCall a WWI flying ace and one of Calgary's pioneer aviators. 1940, the airport was taken over by the Federal Department of Transport to serve the war effort. The airport was expanded to include four runways and five wartime hangers. It was returned to the City of Calgary in 1949. 1956 a new terminal opened, but quickly obsolete (after dawn of Jet age), the city didn't have enough funding for upgrades. 1966, it was sold to Transport Canada who renamed it Calgary International Airport. 2016 was officially renamed YYC Calgary International Airport.


This week we have been learning about forces and air resistance. We enjoyed learning about the effects of air resistance through exploring parachutes. We have planned our own investigations and made parachutes ready for our 'egg-citing' parachute launch.
The children have been set the challenge to find out which parachute is the most effective. They decided that a parachute is most effective if it has more air resistance acting upon it and have made parachutes for their own eggs to see if it will survive being dropped without cracking. Whose egg will survive?


“This is your captain speaking and I meet minimum standards of English” – started the radio show on BBC4, called PM, the other day (2008 March 5, Wednesday) on communication in aviation and air traffic control.
The stories and the short recording from a real situation would have been funny, except that they were rather horrific, especially if you are a frequent traveller on planes.
Until today, international pilots and air traffic controllers “only” had to use a basic radiotelephony, phraseology restricted set of phrases. Now the so called Operational Level 4 communication skills are mandatory.
While it might be a bit of a stretch to call the phraseology mandated for air traffic controllers and pilots a Domain Specific Language (DSL) in IT terms; it is still a pretty close equivalent to DSLs, and it certainly operates with the same principles for the domain of air traffic control.
One of these principles is clarity in communication and being able to capture and communicate the concepts of a specific domains. I have written about the importance of DSLs in IT Architectures regarding communication before – see the developerWorks article referenced in a previous blog entry.
Recently I have read an excellent article from Markus Völter: Architecture as Language: A Story. Markus uses DSL in his story to achieve clarity in communicating architectural concepts and decisions. The story gets even more interesting when you discover that it is about building a new flight management system.

Heathrow third runway ‘delayed for 12 months’
Heathrow has said its project to build a third runway has been delayed by “at least 12 months” after the aviation regulator rejected its spending plans.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has refused Heathrow’s request to lift spending from £650m to £2.4bn before it even gets planning consent.
The CAA is concerned passengers will end up shouldering the cost if Heathrow does not win permission to expand.
The airport now expects to complete a third runway between 2028 and 2029.
In a consultation published by the CAA, it said “the best approach in the interest of consumers” is to limit certain early construction costs to £1.6bn.
The consultation also said an assessment by an independent fund surveyor of Heathrow’s plan to open a new runway by 2026 was an “aggressive schedule” which would require “maximum activity” even before the airport knew whether it had been granted a development consent order.

U.S. air force declares F-35 ready for combat
OTTAWA — After years of cost overruns and delays, the U.S. air force says the version of the F-35 that Canada was planning to buy is ready for combat.
The announcement comes less than two months after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the stealth fighter was far from ready and represents a huge step forward for the controversial plane.
Speaking at the Pentagon, Gen. Herbert Carlisle admitted there are some things the F-35A still can’t do which will be added in the future.
But Carlisle, head of the U.S. air combat command, says he is prepared to send the fighter jet to Syria or any other war zone should it be needed.
The Liberals promised during the election campaign to hold an open competition to replace Canada’s aging CF-18 fighter jets.
They also said they would not buy the F-35 and have since backed off their pledge to hold a competition.

I’ve heard some stories about Spirit Airlines, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the airline isn’t for me. But for those who love flying with airline, you missed out on a very Florida moment.
An unruly passenger was asked to leave a Spirit Airlines flight bound for New Jersey last month got into profanity-laced arguments with fellow passengers and then flashed the packed cabin by twerking in the aisle as people recorded the incident on video.
The video from March 27 taken before the Newark-bound flight took off from Orlando International Airport also shows the unidentified woman challenging another passenger to a fight. She was reportedly asked to leave the plane because she refused to turn off her mobile device before takeoff.h/t NJ.com

| Tatenhill airfield is a few miles away and the nearest aerodrome of Second World War vintage to home. My interest in Tatenhill aerodrome started when I was about 14 (circa 1968). With my school friend Gary I would cycle up to the airfield and we would 'trespass' at high speed along the peri track pretending to be Graham Hill or Jim Clark in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. More recently my wife and I have walked along the footpaths of the Needwood area and so I've become reacquainted with the history of the site that survives today.|
The airfield is still used for flying by local clubs and moneyed individuals and became licensed by the CAA for commercial flying in 1997. There has been a marked increase in activity over the past year or so.
"Best described as the aerodrome no one wanted, its war was spent as an RLG for a number of Midlands training units. Tatenhill had the last laugh though because it continued to operate aeroplanes long after its contemporaries were ploughed-up and still does now. Being the nearest airfield to Burton-on-Trent, centre of the English brewing industry, it was the obvious choice from which to operate a succession of business aircraft, the latest of which is the Beech Super King-Air G-BCUZ. A Cessna Citation executive jet visited recently and crop-spraying aircraft are often seen here too.
|"These modern aircraft look very out of place amidst the fenced-off runways and crumbling wartime buildings. The King-Air is kept at one end of the east-west runway in a post-war hangar which resembles a cut-down 'T2' and there is a small control tower attached. The original hangars, a 'T2' and two Blisters, have gone but the old watch tower still stands in good condition a few hundred yards from its modern replacement. It is one of the small satellite types with four windows at the front, all very small to facilitate blacking-out. The upstairs control room retains its wooden floor and some of the internal doors are left, although all the inscriptions are now illegible. A small concrete block-house with no windows stands just behind it, once the 'speech broadcasting station'.|
|"Built in 1941 in picturesque rolling countryside, it was intended as a satellite for 27 OTU who flew Wellingtons from Lichfield on night-bomber training. This it became on November 2 1941, one of the OTU's Flights being detached here. There is also some evidence that it was used by 16 EFTS as an RLG for Burnaston during 1941, until Abbots Bromley became available, although this seems doubtful if construction was in progress.
The airfield was provided with a bomb dump on the south-east side and a number of frying pan dispersals were built on land to the north of the B5234 road, the hangars being situated in this area too. However, Tatenhill was found wanting and considered unsuitable for Wellingtons. It was only used until the larger aerodrome at Church Broughton was completed in October 1942 and was then left under a care and maintenance party. All flying facilities were retained and were used again on November 7 1942 when the station was loaned to Flying Training Command for 15 (P) AFU. This was an Oxford-equipped unit which was forced to use satellites literally all over the country after being displaced from its HQ at Leconfield to Andover for operational reasons.
"Tatenhill was next allocated to 5 (P) AFU at Tern Hill as a satellite for single-engined training. The Oxfords of the 15 (P) AFU detachment were to go to Grove in Berkshire. Indicative of the 'musical chairs' situation often prevailing in wartime airfield allocations, it was necessary to move the Heavy Glider Conversion Unit operating from Grove to Brize Norton as soon as possible. When the former station was vacated Tatenhill's Oxfords could go there, leaving room for the Miles Masters. This complicated re-shuffle was achieved by May 4 1943 and 'E' Flight of 5 (P) AFU started flying from Tatenhill, specializing in navigation and night training. This went on until January 28 1944 when the airfield was transferred to the control of 21 (P) AFU and Oxfords reappeared in the circuit.
"One of these Oxfords was destroyed in a spectacular crash on August 17 when EB731's trainee pilot failed to notice an aircraft below him on the approach. The runway controller fired a red Very light to warn him, whereupon he turned steeply to starboard and lost control. A wing tip struck the ground rolling the aircraft over and the pilot was very lucky to escape with minor injuries.
|"On November 27 1944 the surrounding countryside was split by a mighty explosion, said to have been the biggest blast ever heard in the British Isles. The underground bomb-store used by 21 MU at Fauld, only three miles to the north of Tatenhill, had blown up with much loss of life and the huge overgrown crater can still be seen. No 21 MU now had to find a new base and eventually took over Tatenhill, the 21 (P) AFU aircraft moving to Seighford on January 26 1945.|
|"The RAF School of Explosives was also here from October 1945 until January 1947. The airfield was sold in the 1950s and the land between the runways has been cultivated. Many of the buildings near the tower have been converted into chicken houses but the dome-shaped astro trainer on this site has been demolished." |
[David J Smith 1990]
|Following the post-war release of Tatenhill aerodrome by the RAF to the Duchy of Lancaster's tenants in c1953, it was disused for a few years. The Burton-Newborough road (B5234), which traverses the site, had been closed 'for the duration' and was reopened in May 1954.|
|In 1959 the Burton upon Trent based Ind Coope brewery, who had a fleet of executive aircraft based at Burnaston airfield, acquired the lease to Tatenhill and transferred its operations there. On the north-east side of the perimeter track the company erected a remodelled, re-used Bellman hanger with a new control tower and office suite attached. At first only the eastern two-thirds of runway 08/26 was used. The other runways deteriorated rapidly and were used only occasionally. Runway 16/34 became disused very quickly while 014/22 was soon suitable for light aircraft only. Runway 08/26 was later extended to its present length of 1200m (1312 yds). A radar facility was erected at the convergence of 08/26 and 16/34 to deal with the dense winter fogs encountered over the Needwood Forest.|
|At commencement of operations Ind Coope transferred Captain David Lancaster (ex-RAF Fighter pilot) from Manchester to Tatenhill to become Chief Pilot. Captain Wally Evans DFC was appointed as his no. 2, with Chief Engineer Terry McCarthy completing the team. In 1961 Dave Moon replaced Terry McCarthy and he remained as Chief Engineer throughout, taking retirement in 1985. The team were joined by Captain Laurie Walford (ex-RAF) in 1968, who went on to became Chief Pilot upon David Lancaster's retirement. At its height the company had five pilots on site. At various times the brewery owned several executive aircraft based at Tatenhill including: G-APCZ de Havilland 104 Dove, G-ARDE de Havilland 104 Dove 6, G-ASNO Beech B55 Baron, Beech B 58 Baron S-ASIU Beech B65-A80 Queen Air, G-ASXV Beech B65-A80 Queen Air, and G-BCUZ Beech King Air 200. By the end of its operation the company had a Beechcraft King Air 90 and a Beechcraft King Air 200.|
|A highlight for all the staff at Tatenhill was a visit by HM the Queen in 1982 who, after visiting the Duchy of Lancaster estates in the Needwood Forest, flew out from the airfield in a Royal Flight aircraft. Laurie Walford, Dave Moon and other members of the team were presented to her before she departed.|
|The wartime watch tower became derelict during this period and was considered structurally unsafe. Concern was expressed that children using it as a playground might be injured and it was demolished in 1982/3.|
|The years 1984-5 saw large cutbacks at Allied Breweries which resulted in the closure of operations at Tatenhill in July 1985. The workforce, including Laurie Walford and Dave Moon, were made redundant and the aircraft sold. Thus ended a period of over 25 years private flying from the airfield.|
|A couple of years later the site came into the hands of Merlin Automatics Ltd, operating as an unlicensed airfield. It gained a licence in 1996, after the company became Tatenhill aviation. The second runway, 04/22, became disused some time after 2003.|
|The 21st century has brought a new development to the site. Due to the airfield's strategic position within the midland counties, the Midlands Air Ambulance have stationed a rescue helicopter (G-EMAA) on the northern peri-track west of the control tower and and flight operation buildings (see here).

Effective communication is paramount in the aviation industry. It ensures smooth operations and can be a matter of life and death. As such, aviation English is a specialized form of the English language designed to facilitate communication between pilots, air traffic controllers, ground crews, and other personnel involved in aviation activities. Fluency in aviation English is therefore essential for professionals in this industry. In this article, we will discuss the various ways in which you can improve your aviation English speaking skills.
Immerse Yourself in the Language
The fastest way to learn a language is by immersing yourself in it. When learning aviation English, you need to start listening to aviation-related broadcasts, podcasts, and videos. You can watch aviation documentaries, listen to aviation podcasts, or tune into aviation-related radio shows. This exposure to the language will help you pick up common phrases and terminology used in the industry.
Practice, Practice, Practice
The more you practice aviation English, the better you’ll get. One effective way of practicing is through role-playing real-life situations. You can simulate a scenario where you’re communicating with your ground crew or air traffic control. This technique is beneficial as it helps you get accustomed to the vocabulary used in aviation English. It also boosts your confidence when it comes to speaking the language in real-life situations.
Simplify Your Vocabulary
One common mistake that people make when learning aviation English is using complicated jargon. While this may sound impressive, it can lead to misunderstandings and errors that could be dangerous. To improve your aviation English speaking skills, you need to simplify your language. Use simple terms and phrases that convey clear and concise messages. Additionally, you can opt for aviation English courses or tutorials that aim to simplify the complex terminology used in aviation English.
Get Feedback From Native Speakers
Getting feedback from native speakers is a critical component of improving your aviation English speaking skills. This feedback can come from fellow pilots or air traffic controllers who are native speakers of the language. You can also record yourself and seek feedback from your colleagues or tutor. They can point out mistakes in your pronunciation, grammar, or sentence construction. This feedback will enable you to improve your aviation English speaking skills and get closer to achieving a native-like fluency.
The ability to communicate effectively in aviation English is vital for professionals in the aviation industry. It facilitates clear and concise communication between pilots, air traffic controllers, and ground crews, making operations more efficient and safer. To improve your aviation English speaking skills, you need to immerse yourself in the language, practice regularly, simplify your vocabulary, and seek feedback from native speakers.

I flew from Cuzco to Lima on April 24, 2026, at 15:05, flight LA 2074 (Seat 12K). The cabin personnel started serving soft drinks etc., but after having served 2-3 rows, they stopped after an announcement (and seat belt sign went on) that we would experience turbulence.
After 1-2 minutes, the light turbulence that we shortly experienced stopped and there was no more turbulence during the rest of the flight, i.e. approximately 1 hour. Although there was no turbulence (very calm flight), the seat belt sign went off just before starting the procedure of landing, when it went on again (ha, ha, ha!).
When exiting the aircraft, an air-hostess gave us the small package with snack and to my comment that the flight was excellent, with no turbulence at all, she replied "for you maybe" (they can be ironic, indeed!). Were we dealing with a scared pilot or with lazy cabin personnel?

Following the suggestion of my friend Neil Laferty, I purchased Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier.
The book is a collection of speeches, interviews, essays, etc. on various aspects of space exploration: why we did it, why we should keep doing it, what problems we have doing it, and the like. It reads well – Tyson never uses science jargon as a way of keeping the hoi polloi at the gates, and even a non-scientist like me could understand the concepts. He looks at all the arguments with a sympathetic eye, while simultaneously maintaining a healthy scientific skepticism. This is no mean feat, and he nails it.
Make sure you read the appendices, which include the legislation creating NASA and other bits of space-related legislation as well as budget comparisons and data for space exploration.

This Saturday was quite special. If any of you remember (and there is absolutely no reason why you should) I bought for JJ, last December, a trial flight lesson for our first year anniversary. Last Saturday, it was the time to actually take advantage of the voucher and go together for his lesson.
Of course, I was preparing myself (and him) for the worse case scenario. I knew that the voucher said 1 hour flight lesson, but there was absolutely no guarantee how long would be the actual flight time. Also, I didn’t know if there would be other trainees with JJ and for how long he would be able to use the controls and actually fly the plane. Finally, living in the UK taught me to worry about the weather. In case of a foggy, rainy, clouded morning, there would be absolutely no pleasure in a bumpy, blind flight.
Thankfully, I was proven very wrong…
We woke up Saturday morning quite early. We had booked the lesson early in the morning since the trainer suggested that the air currents and visibility are better then. The airdrome close to Gatwick airport would be an hour’s drive anyway so we had to have an early start. The weather looked really promising. There was absolutely no cloud in the sky and the temperature was about 10 degrees. It looked like spring arrived! It was an absolute delight.
We arrived earlier than expected and we were greeted by the flight instructor called John. He seemed very nice, polite (and cute). There was a small confusion with the booking because they had problems with their booking system. At some point we thought that there would be a four seat Cessna available that would allow me in the passenger’s seat as well but alas at the end it was just JJ and John in a two seated Cessna 152.
Our plane, the Cessna 152 that JJ flew
Anyway, after 15 minutes for refueling the plane, John showing to ‘JJ’ how the flaps work (on the ground) and me taking the necessary pictures, they were getting ready to board! We were both amazed that ‘JJ’ sat on the actual pilot’s seat!
John checking the controls before takeoff
When the plane’s doors closed I went to the aerodrome’s café to wait for the end of the lesson. I had a nice view of the helicopter training school, I had already a magazine with me and I enjoyed a nice cup of coffee under the warming sun. There were quite a few families coming to watch the small planes and helicopters and enjoy the warm weather outside. An hour approximately later I saw them land and park the plane in the designated place.
My view from the coffee shop
‘JJ’ was ecstatic! He loved the whole experience so much and I felt so happy and proud of him. Apart from the actual take-off and landing he was in charge of the plane. John was only pointing out where to go and which meter readings to check. They flew over Tunbridge Wells and they managed to see the Millennium Dome and Canary Wharf of London.
The day was still young and the weather beautiful and since we had the car, we decided to drive to Brighton. Of course I made fun of JJ on how he would now have to drive a simple, stupid, not flying car again. Brighton was packed with people having the same idea as we did. It was very nice to see the sea and enjoy the sun though.
Brighton lovely weather
