|On October 2, 2001, dozens of aircraft stood grounded at Zurich Unique Airport.
Flights could not take off due to the simple lack of cash flow. So little was available that there was not even enough money to pay for jet fuel. The story of a young airline in a developing country?
Unfortunately this was the airline which flew the flag and the pride of the people of one of the richest countries in the world, Switzerland. The airline was, of course, Swissair.
Many people were aware that Swissair was ill, maybe even very ill, but no one ever thought it could reach this level of gross humiliation. Passengers were left stranded with valueless tickets. 71 years of the Swissair brand goodwill were gone in a matter of hours.
There will never be an airline quite like Swissair. But with this site, and the assistance of FsPassengers, a small tribute is paid to the company that was once MY airline.


Airport Begins Major Expansion
The Lincolnton/Lincoln County Airport is set to make millions of dollars of changes and improvements over the coming years. “We’re going to have a good bit going on,” said Jeff Lynn, airport manager. Improvements will cost the airport around $3.6 million and should all be completed in six to eight years. The airport is a designated Charlotte reliever and has the facilities to accommodate corporate jets, Lynn said. It currently houses about $7.3 million worth of aircraft and brought in revenue of more than $400,000 last year – and that amount is expected to grow. That’s impressive, Lynn said, considering the current economy. “Some of the airports are really suffering, and we’re pleased we’re able to maintain that level, and it looks like we’re going to do even better,” Lynn said. Crews are preparing to repave the airport’s runway, taxi ways and parking ramp, Lynn said. That should begin in early August, weather permitting. The airport will shut down for about six days during the work, Lynn said. The safety area on runway 23 – which now extends 100 feet beyond the end of the runway – will be extended another 200 feet. Trees will be removed from the safety area as a requirement by the Federal Aviation Administration. One of the most substantial changes is the addition of 28 individual T-hangars. T-hangars are shaped like a “T” and are used to house one aircraft. The hangars are 26 feet by 37 feet and are used by people whose planes are based at the airport. Lynn said he currently has more than 70 names on a waiting list for T-hangars. “We’re pretty excited about it,” Lynn said. “People have been waiting a long time.” There are 10 T-hangars at the airport now, along with two common hangzrs and three private hangars. The airport also has spots to build five more private hangars, which measure 60 feet by 80 feet. These hangars are built by individuals who lease the land. After 20 years, the land reverts back to the airport, Lynn said. The airport just got approval for funding for taxi lanes to the hangars, and construction will begin in late fall or early spring, Lynn said. The project will cost nearly $1 million, money the airport will likely borrow. Other improvement include: The relocation of Airport Drive to allow for a 1,000 square-foot expansion of the terminal and additional hangars. Extending the taxi way on runway 5 by the year 2006. Installing a glide slope, which assists pilots on their landing approach during inclement weather. Running water and sewer services to the airport. Officials hope this will attract NASCAR teams to the airport. Officials are pleased with the airport’s future and are eager to provide the best services possible to the community, Lynn said. “The airport’s already doing what it was envisioned to do, but it looks like it is capable of even more,” Lynn said.

The One that got Away
This large print of the the Avro Arrow at Point Petre is part of my series of Prince Edward County posters. The Avro Arrow was a Canadian supersonic fighter jet that was ahead of it’s time. It came to a dramatic and mysterious end when the Canadian government scrapped the project and destroyed all planes, practically overnight. While no planes remain, the original aerodynamic models rest at the bottom of Lake Ontario off of Point Petre.


The runway of Roxas City airport almost leads out to the waters of Sibuyan Sea. The way the plane maneuvers in preparation for its landing, makes this as one of my favorite (and a bit scary) landing spot. As I looked out the window and saw the dark blue waters almost a spitting distance away, the plane makes a hard turn in the air at a very low altitude. I felt a seminal formation of goosebumps inside my chest. As the wheels touch the ground and I hear the brakes grinding the plane slowly, I heave a sigh of relief and started imagining myself drowning in fresh seafood again.

"I have been in a small airplane before. I'm not afraid of flying. But I am afraid of crashing," I laughed in response to his questions.
Jim is a commercial airline pilot, and he's not interested in crashing, either. Which made me comfortable with what we were about to do. The plan for this engagement session was so cool! I met Jim and Lisa on a beautiful day back in August at the Kenosha Regional Airport, where we boarded Jim's small plane. The three of us flew out to Morey Field, on the west side of Madison, in Middleton.
Once we landed at Morey Field, we took a couple of pictures, before the wind destroyed Lisa's hair.
Then the three of us went out on the airstrip and met up with Bernie Harrigan for the second part of the engagement session, a flight in a biplane.
If you want to go on a ride of your own, you can get more information at www.planerides.net.
Because the plane is an open air cockpit, it's loud and windy. Kind of like being on a Harley, but at an elevation of 1,000 feet. If you aren't scared of flying, this is one experience that is totally worth it!


Miss Abigail’s thought for the week: Story Time From Space
Do you have a child who dreams endlessly about space? About being an astronaut? Do you talk about space and what Earth looks like from above? Ever wondered what it’s like on the International Space Station? This week, Mr Adam H discovered this very cool website http://storytimefromspace.com/ which features lots of videos of real astronauts, in space, reading quality children’s books. From the window behind them, you see the Earth spinning by, or parts of the ISS. It is so fascinating! Most, though not all, of the books are to do with space, or rockets, or astronauts or other planets and they would be so exciting for space lovers to watch (although, I defy anyone not to be fascinated by it).
When you stop to think about it, it’s also fairly mind-blowing to think about the concept of stories from space. What must it feel like to be those authors, knowing that their book is being read outside of our planet? Could they ever have imagined such a thing? If your kids grow up to write books, where could they end up?! What fun to imagine! What journeys in the mind could be travelled this weekend… To infinity and beyond!


Blast off to Summer Reading 2019 at Astronaut Training Camp ! Conquer the obstacle course and defy gravity in a Rocket Bounce House! Have a Rocket Pop and check out a new book. Summer Reading Packets will be handed out aft the program. All ages. Blast off to Stellar Reading !
Registration begins on June 8. Call 203-488-8702 to sign up.


Skymark Airlines in Japan is an 18 year-old budget airline that makes a modest profit. They had aspirations on becoming a long haul, international, premium class airline. Now, there is nothing wrong with that I hear you say.
On the face of it, you are correct. However, in the airline business, it requires a little more than coming up with the idea and sourcing new planes.
It seems that Skymark didn’t exactly plan it too well. They ordered four Airbus A380s with an option on two more. At book price, they are $414.4 million each. Skymark got them for $1.7 billion. Normally, airlines get a discount. Where is it?
The Airbus A380 is the largest plane in the world with a second deck on top. Airbus have been having problems getting orders in the US because the Americans think the plane is too big. So Airbus welcomed the order with open arms.
Airbus sold 30 A320/321 narrowbody jets in March 2014 for $3.3 billion to All Nippon Airlines. And JAL placed a landmark $9.5-billion order for 31 A350XWB airliners in October 2013.
But Japan has such high passenger volumes on some domestic routes that they have bought Boeing 747s. Even Boeing has released special 500-seat-plus versions of its 747 jumbo jet that are customised for Japan's domestic market.
In 2012, Skymark began to face stiff competition from a new group of low-cost carriers in Japan particularly at its Narita base that is also a base for AirAsia Japan and Jetstar Japan. This led to a reduction in Skymark's frequencies on highly contested routes such as Narita-Sapporo and Narita-Fukuoka, and a refocusing of aircraft on more exclusive routes such as Narita-Ishigaki.
The A380 typically has 525 seats. Skymark planned to have only 394. This would have priced them as being the most expensive in the market and made them uneconomic.
On Tuesday 29th July 2014, Skymark cancelled the orders. Airbus is slightly upset with this and will now have to find a buyer for the two aircraft that they have built for Skymark. It’s likely that will be difficult.
What happened was that Airbus were just ready to kit out the interiors to Skymarks’s specs and they queried their ability to make repayments and their plans in this new venture. They suggested that Skymark join a bigger airline group and form partnerships.
Skymark were unhappy at being told what to do. "We cannot accept a demand that would shake management independence," Skymark said in a statement. They said that the company has been able to offer lower prices precisely because of its independence.
Skymark cancelled the orders. Airbus is likely to keep the $260 million Skymark has paid so far. It could seek additional penalties of 70 billion yen ($681 million), according to Japanese media reports. As a result, Skymark shares have plunged, and the airline warned this week that there is uncertainty about its ability to remain a “going concern” given its potential exposure to Airbus. They accused Airbus of demanding "exorbitant" cancellation fees.
Stefan Schaffrath is an Airbus spokesman. He denied that Airbus has made any demands about Skymark's future business structure. He said it "is reserving all its rights and remedies”.
In late 2012, an aviation research firm in Australia - the Centre for Aviation – predicted the initiative as being doomed to fail in a detailed analysis of Skymark’s “quixotic order”. They commented on its plan to have the fewest seats of any A380 operator in the world—only 394. They also remarked on its lack of airline partners to provide feed traffic. Skymark planned to begin its initial A380 service from Tokyo to New York in late 2014.
While this is a problem for Skymark, it is also a problem for Airbus. They have been struggling with the A380 since its first flight in April 2005.
They sold 318 A380 planes to 19 customers and have delivered 135 jets as of the end of June 2014. So far, planes delivered have been unprofitable, though Airbus hopes to break even on A380 shipments from next year. That would require about 30 A380 deliveries each year. Airbus still needs to book further orders to secure that production rate from 2016.
So, due to a lack of planning, Skymark have caused a massive problem and possibly created the demise of their own airline.


Will, Xan and I went to the annual Blue Angel Homecoming Air Show today. We had a great time checking out the static aircraft displays and watching the different planes do their tricks in the sky. Of course, the big part of the show was the Blue Angels, who are based here in Pensacola. They have been a team since 1946 and were first based in Jacksonville, FL.
One of the first things we did was stand in line for half an hour to sit in the cockpit of a Blue Angel FA-18 Hornet. While this one does not have an actual engine in it, it is the same aircraft that the Blue Angels currently fly and have for 21 years. While Will did the expected paparazzi Mom smile for me, Xan wanted no part of the cockpit.
Will really wanted to sit in this small Marine Corps helicopter, so here he is "flying" it very seriously of course, because flying is a very serious task, and then the pilot poster shot.
We waited in line for another half hour for lunch - hamburgers and fries. We watched some more planes perform - this is a performance display of new and old aircraft.
Will got this photo of Xan and and while we waited for the Blue Angels to perform.
While waiting, the wind got even more biting, so we headed off to walk around and look at some more heliocopters. Here is a shot of the boys inside one.
And then it was time for the big show. The Blue Angels did not disappoint and seemed to come from all angles to complete their fabulous stunts.


CHARLOTTE, NC (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – Federal investigators said Charlotte Airport’s control tower did not receive an emergency call from the pilot of a WBTV News helicopter that crashed along Interstate-77 on Tuesday.
According to a statement from the National Transportation Safety Board, the Robinson R44 helicopter took off from the WBTV helipad and flew south about five miles.
The pilot was in contact with the CLT Tower and was cleared to enter Charlotte airspace.
The NTSB said the aircraft made two 360-degree turns over I-77 before “rapidly accelerating” into the ground next to the highway.
Meteorologist Jason Myers and pilot Chip Tayag were both killed in the impact.
“The WBTV family is grieving a terrible loss. Our Sky3 news helicopter crashed in the middle of the day Tuesday with two of our colleagues on board. Meteorologist Jason Myers and pilot Chip Tayag lost their lives. We are working to comfort their families at this difficult time. We appreciate the outpouring of support to our staff and your continued prayers for their families,” WBTV said in response to the crash.
NTSB investigators arrived at the scene Tuesday night to examine the crash site. The wreckage was taken to a separate facility for further examination, officials said.
The NTSB said investigators are also compiling witness statements and surveillance video from nearby footage. Anyone who may have witnessed the helicopter crash is asked to email [email protected]
A preliminary report on the crash is expected to be released within two to three weeks, officials said. However, the probable cause of the crash will be published in the “final report” which could take one to two years to complete.
On Tuesday, CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings credited the pilot for making the “heroic” decision to crash on the grass and not the roadway.
“[It] The pilot appears to have taken some diversionary action to avoid hitting traffic, CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings said. “It looks like a heroic incident where the pilot tried to avoid harming anyone else and putting anyone else at risk. That pilot is a hero in my eyes … for the safety and security of everyone on the road.”
Read the full statement from the NTSB:
The helicopter, operated by the Total Traffic and Weather Network, took off from the WBTV helipad and continued south for about three miles. The aircraft was in contact with the CLT Tower and cleared to enter the CLT airspace. It proceeded to make two 360-degree turns over 1-77 before quickly sinking into the ground next to the freeway. The pilot and the other passenger suffered fatal injuries. The CLT Tower received no distress calls from the pilot.
The NTSB arrived at the scene last night for an initial on-scene investigation. That work continued this morning and included moving the wreckage to a separate facility for further examination. Investigators are compiling witness statements and surveillance video from nearby buildings. The NTSB encourages anyone who may have witnessed the crash to email [email protected]
The NTSB will release a preliminary report within 2-3 weeks that will include all the facts gathered up to that point. Media can find that report on Twitter: @NTSB_Newsroom when it is published. The probable cause of the crash and any contributing factors will be included in the final report, which could take from 12-24 months to complete.

Airport & Aviation Business Opportunities
Porquis Junction Aerodrome, as it was originally named, first opened in 1929 and became part of the Trans-Canada Airway System operated by the Department of Transport. By the late 1930s, the airway linked Montreal and Vancouver. Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) Lockheed 10 Electra aircraft were used to serve Porquis Junction. At the end of the Second World War services were upgraded to serve larger Douglas DC-3 aircraft. In the late 1940s, Porquis Junction became a regular stop on the Toronto Kapuskasing Route for TCA. The main Runway 14 -32 was turf and measured just over 3,900 feet in length, supporting daytime and night time operations. Two other intersecting turf runways measured 2930 and 2555 feet in length.
In 1955 the Department of Transport built a new airport to serve the growing City of Timmins with all-weather runways and day and night operations. Porquis Junction Aerodrome became a general aviation facility handling mainly private and recreational aviation operations.
In the late 1960s, the Corporation of the Town of Iroquois Falls assumed control of the airport from the Department of Transport and became known as Iroquois Falls Municipal Airport.
In 1972 a local service club, the Rotary, purchased a glider and built a winch for the Arctic Watershed Gliding Unit to provide gliding for the air cadet squadrons of northern Ontario. The gliding program in Canada is run jointly by the Department of National Defence and the Air Cadet League of Canada. The Arctic Watershed Gliding Unit, based at the Iroquois Falls Airport, currently serves the cadets from Englehart, Kirkland Lake, Timmins, Iroquois Falls and Kapuskasing. In former years it also flew the air cadets of the Rouyn-Noranda, Chapleau and Moosonee squadrons.
The Nighthawk Flying Club was established in 1975 as a flight training school. The club ran the airport from 1975 to 2003. With increased traffic Iroquois Falls Municipal Airport was able to secure funding to make a number of upgrades. 3,000 feet of Runway 14-32 was paved in the late 1970s and airport lighting was installed. In 1984 the Province of Ontario provided a grant for a public terminal building, Runway 14-32 was expanded to 3999 feet and Nighthawk moved from temporary accommodations to the new facilities.
As a result of the 2019 Airport Master Plan, Iroquois Falls Airport CNE4 is in the process of being modernized. We are currently inviting airside businesses to be part of our newly conceived Industrial Park. If you have a requirement for aviation-based repair depot, storage and transportation of goods, a base for a helicopter or plane mining survey company, an air courier depot or if you need hangar space please contact Bill Greenway at email@example.com or phone 705-232-5700 ext 241

LAMDA Development announces that through its subsidiary HELLINIKON S.M.S.A., it has signed an agreement with the Olympic Airways Workers Cultural Centre (POL.K.E.O.A.), for the purchase and sale of the four non-navigational aircrafts that are located within the premises of The Ellinikon.
These four aircrafts, now fully owned by the Company include: a Boeing 727, a Boeing 737, a Boeing 747 and a BAC1-1.
The agreement establishes a new era in the relations between the two parties and was the result of months of negotiations aiming at finally resolving the issue of the partial removal of the aircrafts from The Ellinikon.
HELLINIKON S.M.S.A. and POL.K.E.O.A. confirm that this agreement lays a solid foundation for the exploitation of the legacy of Olympic Aviation and foresees the preparation of a feasibility study for the Boeing 747 being used as a museum space.
In addition, POL.K.E.O.A. with its valuable experience will contribute in the future in the possible creation of a Civil Aviation Museum.
The creation of the iconic project of The Ellinikon, the largest urban regeneration project in Europe, is being implemented with respect to the area’s history and culture, a vision that POL.K.E.O.A. has consistently served until today.

This First Edition hardcover book was published in 1999 by Princeton University Press with 234 pages. The text is unmarked. The binding is tight. There is normal shelf and edge wear. The dust jacket is unclipped and untorn bu tdoes show wear at the edges. Previous owners dedication is present on the front free endpaper. The pioneers of flight left a legacy of inventions that changed the world. Unknown to most people, many also left compelling written accounts of their ideas, scientific discoveries, and attempts--both successful and disastrous--to take to the air. Phil Scott presents the first major anthology of these writings. His selections show how humans from Ovid to the Wright brothers and beyond dreamed about flying and puzzled over the principles of physics and aerodynamics that kept birds aloft and men grounded. Their eloquent and incisive writings form a record of scientific curiosity and individual tenacity that will fascinate aviation enthusiasts, historians of technology, and anyone interested in the drama of early flight.Scott begins with Ovid's story of Icarus, who met his legendary fate by flying too close to the sun and melting the wax that held his wings together. He presents accounts of crude medieval experiments and the beginnings of a scientific approach to flight in Renaissance and early modern Italy. He includes a letter from the Marquis d'Arlandes about being aboard the Montgolfiers' famous balloon for the first ever manned flight. The book's main focus, however, is the development of airplanes in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Scott presents scientific notes, letters, patent applications, fund-raising proposals, newspaper reports, journal articles, and personal stories by or about such central figures as Sir George Cayley, John Stringfellow, Otto Lilienthal, Clement Ader, Octave Chanute, Louis Blériot, Glenn Curtiss, and, in particular, the Wright brothers. We read about the insights that led to propellers and to the shape of the modern wing, the frustrations and dangers of attempting flight, the Wrights' revolutionary technological innovations and their brilliant successes at Kitty Hawk, technical and commercial disputes, and the experiences of early women aviators and the adventurers who made the first long-distance flights.Scott includes an extensive introduction that puts the selections in the context of aeronautical history. The Pioneers of Flight is a remarkable resource for anyone who wishes to understand how humans struggled and eventually learned to fly.

|City seeks input on antique planes
Tuesday, January 06, 2009
Aircraft - The city is hosting information sessions tonight and wednesday to get public input into what should be done with two antique aircraft that have been sitting in pieces for decades.
The fate of the two planes has been hotly debated over the past year, after the Aero Space Museum proposed its de Havilland Mosquito Mark 35 be sold in exchange for funds to restore its Hawker Hurricane and create an endowment fund for future restorations.
But a number of aviation enthusiasts fought the sale, arguing it amounted to giving away history.
Restoration of the city-owned planes is estimated to cost millions of dollars. Both planes are sitting in boxes. The museum believes the Hurricane has more heritage value than the mosquito.
The information sessions, which will outline options for the planes, are being held at the Aero Space Museum, 4629 McCall Way N.E., from 6 to 8 p. m. tonight and Wednesday. (January 6 and 7 2009)

Blue Heron Gulfstream MRO and Hanger
Gray Construction partnered with leading business jet manufacturer, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, and top business aviation services company, Jet Aviation, on a new maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility at the West Palm Beach International Airport in Florida.
This was a design-build facility at 168,000 ft² which replaced a smaller operation on the southside of the airport. The new facility includes offices, back shops, as well as an approximated 75,000 ft² maintenance hangar for Gulfstream. Additionally, the project consists of an all-new storage hangar, customer offices, and fuel farm.
For this airport hangar project, FiberForce was not only the preferred fiber supplier but was also utilized as a slab consultant and worked closely with T&T Construction, the concrete subcontractor, on slab details. FiberForce also collaborated with Cemex, the ready mix supplier, on the mix design, flexural strength, and compressive strength. Slab thickness varied throughout with 4”, 7”, and 10” slab areas designed with 7.5 lb/yd³ of macro fiber, FiberForce 750, with control joints extended out to 30 ft.

Amateur rocketry enthusiasts build rockets somewhere between Estes and NASA sizes. Operating as sounding rockets, flights range from 1000m to more than 30km and are generally passively fin stabilized. Two of the significant challenges are deploying the recovery system components (generally parachutes) and providing tracking to locate the rocket after flight. Altus Metrum is a project building hardware and software for amateur rocketry, and AltOS is the suite of software running in the rocket avionics and on the ground to track and analyze the flight.
This talk will discuss the unique system challenges presented by rocketry, including high acceleration and speeds, automatic control of explosives and other flammable materials and the wide range of technical skills of the participants. Included will be a presentation of the hardware components used in the system and how that has driven the architecture of the AltOS flight software over four years of development. About the speaker Keith Packard has been developing open source software since 1986, focusing on the X Window System since 1987, designing and implementing large parts of the current implementation. He is currently a Principal Engineer with Intel's Open Source Technology Center. Keith received a Usenix Lifetime Achievement award in 1999 and sits on the X.org foundation board


On day 88 of the year 2002 four eager astronauts boarded the impressive fourstory building tall rocketship "True Tove IV" located in South Korea. to embark on a 25 year mission to venus and back to earth.
The missions objective was to investigate in the nature of love and return samples to earth to obtain knowledge about how humans could rebalance the different love-forces on earth.
Unfortunately there were serious miscalculations made about the rockets ballistics end engines. Seconds after ignition, the rocket fell back to earth after having lifted of the ground for just one centimeter and
collapsed sideways onto the ground.
Mysteriously the astronauts survived the blast and the impact.
They said they where sad not to be on the trip to venus but happy to be alive and ready for love.

Product Review -


As readers here will know, I’m a sucker for an old film. There’s something special about black & white that adds atmosphere colour films can’t seem to replicate. Whether it’s my nostalgia on over-drive or not I’m not sure.
This morning I stumbled across the Gerry Anderson webstore which got me thinking about TV shows I used to watch when I was a child. One of my favourites, even if it did scare me a little as I was so young, was Space 1999. The series was based in the year 1999 and centred around the lives of the people who staffed Moon Base Alpha.
It was extremely futuristic for its day, but 17 years after this fictional series was set, I cannot help but wonder why there has not been the effort to construct a real base on the real moon.
Instead of having the International Space Station drifting around all over the place and risking being hit by space junk, surely it would make more sense to have a base at a permanent location? Plus wouldn’t the logistics of re-supplying any fixed base would be easier due to larger storage capacities?
When you think about the computing power available when the LEM first landed on the moon to that available today there is a huge difference. So I don’t think a lack of technology could be to blame. I also think a permanent base on the moon would provide a staging for smaller projects to explore both the moon and the stars beyond.
Perhaps it would even have a positive effect on people on Earth encouraging them to think beyond our own little planet and work together.
So my question for you (or perhaps NASA / ESA if they happen to look in) is why have we not been back to the moon? And why haven’t we built a base up there?

Life Discovered On Mars – Well, Not Exactly
Space aliens are often cited as a possible cause of any number of strange and weird occurrences, so we wondered could it be that newly discovered life on Mars was responsible for our posts vanishing into the ether? It turns out no, life may exist on Mars, but no “grays” or “little green men” were found. Our problem remains a mystery.
Scientists Carol Stoker and Larry Lemke of NASA’s Ames Research Center told a group of space officials at a private meeting on Sunday, they have found strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars. Life that may be hidden away in caves and sustained by pockets of water.
So have the scientists actually found life on Mars? Not exactly. What Stoker and Lemke have found is not direct proof of life on Mars, but methane signatures and other signs of possible biological activity remarkably similar to those recently discovered in caves here on Earth.

15 Nov Minnesota Air National Guard Museum
Minnesota Air National Guard Museum
Situated on the active Minnesota National Guard Base. At the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Their website is http://mnangmuseum.org/
Here is a summary of The Minnesota Air National Guard Museum
At first it was approved in 1983 by the 934th TAG (the base host ) and the work began. Then it opened in 1984 with a base open house to 30,000 visitors. Currently it is home to one of the largest displays of military aircraft in the five-state area. I love that it features 22 aircraft in amazing condition. Including fighters, cargo planes, helicopters and utility aircraft. Incredibly, those aircraft are from WWII to the present day.
Planes on the Airpark
Listed below are the planes at the Airpark. And links with photos and information.
First, is the Beechcraft C-45. Beechcraft C-45 “Expeditor”
Second, we have the Boeing C-97G. Boeing C-97G “Stratofreighter”

Together with the wonderful number of airplanes are the exbibits. There are over 6,000 artifacts and objects. Coupled with books, photographs, slides and videos.
How can I visit?
Since this is an active military base some precautions are in order. First, if you are active or retired military you can visit anytime. Second, if you are not then you need to register per the website. Third, advance notices are required. An example is tours require 10 business days. Finally, they are open for tours, birthday parties and special event.
I have personally visited this museum many times with my son. Every time we went, we found something new and fun. It is a wonderful experience and I’ll always remember all those special moments I shared this with my son. I hope you can share this experience also with your family and friends!

Veteran aviator sees bright future for Portage airport in new manager role
WiscNews - 1/9/2024
Jan. 9—Just months after its future was in question, the Portage Municipal Airport has a new manager and fixed base operator, solidifying the city's commitment to its aviation communities.
"It's only been a little over one month and I've got two flight instructors and a handful of students already flying," said Paul Phelps, owner of Sun Sport Aviation. "I'm already looking at ordering another aircraft for the fleet because things are going really well. ... A little faster than I expected, but its a good problem to have."
The Common Council passed a motion at its Nov. 9 meeting making Phelps and his company, Sun Sport Aviation, the new airport manager and fixed base operator (FBO). The final day for the airport's prior manager, Fly High Wisconsin, was Oct. 31.
Last summer, the council voted to keep the airport open following weeks of uncertainty about its future after two aldermen forced a resolution onto a council vote which could have directed city staff to inquire with federal and state agencies about what it would take to shut down an airport and abolish its airport commission.
At the November council meeting, Phil Livingston, the city's director of Public Works, gave an overview of the FBO contract, which allows Sun Sport to facilitate flight instruction, sales of aircrafts, aircraft maintenance services and other aviation activity. The contract is for one year, and Sun Sport has the option to renew it for two more years. The city retains the right to revoke that option if officials believe operations do not meet standards.
Under the contract, the city will pay the aviation company $24,000 from its operating budget, specifically $12,000 for consulting and another $12,000 for provided maintenance and services. There is also a clause in the contract for training, which allows Phelps to attend one training event annually in order to bring knowledge and ideas back to the airport to better its operations. The city is also required to supply two full tanks of aviation fuel and to clear snow from the runways.
Livingston said the contract requires Sun Sport to pay the city 5 cents for every gallon of gas it sells, which usually is about 8,000 gallons per year. It also states that Sun Sport will pay the city 22% of the gross funds generated from all airport activities and 50% of any revenue stemming from events held at the airport, such as its Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Pancake Breakfast.
As airport manager, Phelps will be required to provide the city with monthly contractor's operation maintenance reports, which are to include the updated roster of all city-owned hangar leases, summary of all repairs and maintenance activities, accounting of net gross revenue generated from fuel sells, hangar leases, tie-down rentals and a quarterly budget summary.
Phelps is an Federal Aviation Administration certified flight instructor of single-engine airplanes, multiengine airplanes and helicopters, with about 2,300 hours of instruction given. He is also a military instructor pilot and instrument examiner in Blackhawk helicopters, with 820 hours worked between the two. Over his 38 years of flying military rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, and civilian fixed-wing aircraft, he has accumulated more than 7,200 hours of combined flight experience.
He also served as an aviation safety and standardization officer, managing a $2.5 million annual technology budget for the Wisconsin Army National Guard before retiring in October and seizing the opportunity to start a flight school — something he said is rare.
"I was approaching the end of a 28-year military career as a professional Army aviator," said Phelps. "But I felt an inner calling to become a teacher as a professional flight instructor. ... I actually retired from the military a couple of years early because of this opportunity to come to Portage."
Phelps, who is also the vice president of EAA Chapter 371 in Portage, said he has stored an airplane in a hangar at the airport for the past four years, so he is familiar with the facilities.
Some of his duties as airport manager include managing hanger tenants and the fuel they use, taking care of the grounds, and general maintenance jobs such as replacing a runway light that has burned out and other repairs. He will also be on-call at all times and have the immediate decision-making authority concerning airport operations.
Phelps said he is already training flight instructors who are looking to come on board to help with his flight school, which has six participants. He said he is excited that a recently hired female flight instructor will be working with and serving as a role model for the young female pilots.
As a way of giving flight school students a more professional training path and a little more one-on-one attention, Phelps said he hopes to collaborate with local education institutions, such as Portage High School and Madison Area Technical College, so the airport can use classrooms or computers labs for its flight instructors to hold private pilot classes, instrument training classes and commercial pilots classes.
Phelps also plans to give the airport a "facelift" so it feels more like an airport when people visit, which he said includes painting walls, replacing carpets and creating a whole new theme.
"I want to brighten it up with an aviation and flight school theme," said Phelps, "so that when people come in, they feel good about the environment."
Phelps said most of the challenges he has faced so far have to do with having virtually no staff and not having a lot of resources to be able to hire staff.
Though he has primarily had to do everything around the airport himself so far, Phelps said he has received a lot of support from the Portage-area aviation community, including Portage EAA chapter members who have offered to help him build a personal office in the main hangar, as well as two Portage High School students who help him clean airplanes and complete various projects around the airport, in return for flight lessons at a discounted rate.
Phelps said hope and excitement about the airport will be major benefits to the community, as the airport really hasn't been able to provide this type of pathway to people before.
He said he feels he has support from the city, which has committed to accepting grants from the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics and the Federal Aviation Administration, which had been left on the table in the past.
Support from the community was never really a question for him, Phelps said, as dozens of community members showed up to protest before an expected council vote on Aug. 24, which could have directed city staff to inquire with the FAA and the state Department of Transportation'sBureau of Aeronautics about what it would take to shut down an airport and, in a separate measure, to abolish its airport commission. The council delayed a decision and three weeks later voted to keep the airport open.
"I feel like I am fully supported by the city and by the residents," said Phelps. "That whole incident facilitated a complete turnaround and coalescing of the Common Council and the airport commission. They got the message from the residents, and it sunk in."

Mailer’s superb account, written as it was happening, of the first attempt to land men on the moon
‘Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.’
A Fire on the Moon tells the scarcely credible story of the Apollo 11 mission. It is suffused with Mailer’s obsession both with the astronauts themselves and with his own anxieties and terrors about the extremity of what they were trying to achieve. Mailer is both admiring and appalled and the result is a book which is both a gripping narrative and a brilliant depiction of the now-forgotten technical issues and uncertainties around the mission. A Fire on the Moon is also a matchless portrait of an America caught in a morass of introspection and misery, torn apart by the war in Vietnam. But for one, extraordinary week in the summer of 1969 all eyes were on the fates of three men in a rocket, travelling a quarter of a million miles away from Earth.
With an introduction by Geoff Dyer.


Actions of Airbus (OTC: EADSY) jumped 9% on Thursday, after the European aircraft manufacturer told suppliers to prepare for a rapid rebound in aircraft production. In fact, Airbus plans to increase production of narrow-body jets to record levels in as little as two years.
Boeing (NYSE: BA) the stock also rose 4% on Thursday. Investors appear to believe that Airbus’ aggressive production plans imply a strong recovery in the aviation industry which will also increase demand for Boeing jets. Still, while demand for narrow-body jets is expected to fully recover by 2024, Airbus’ plan also involves gaining market share over its US rival. Thus, Boeing shareholders should not celebrate production increases at Airbus.
Planning a record production of narrow bodies
Airbus cut production of commercial aircraft last year as the COVID-19 pandemic crushed demand. By the end of 2020, it was building around 51 planes per month: 40 A320 Family jets, four A220s, two A330s, and five A350s. Earlier this year, it increased the production rate of the A220 to five per month.
On Thursday, Airbus confirmed plans to increase production of the A320 Family to 45 per month by the fourth quarter of 2021. However, it called on suppliers to prepare for production of the A320 to reach a record pace of 64 per month in the second trimester. 2023. In addition, Airbus has told its suppliers that it hopes to increase the production rate of the A320 to 70 per month in early 2024 and up to 75 per month in 2025.
Airbus has also confirmed that it will increase production of the A220 to six per month at the start of 2022. So far, annual deliveries of the A220 have never exceeded 48 (or four per month). Yet Airbus plans to build up to 14 A220s per month “by the middle of the decade”.
Gain market share on narrow bodies
In a sense, Airbus’ plans should come as no surprise. The production of the A320 Family reached 60 per month before the pandemic, but by 2018, the aircraft manufacturer wanted to increase its production to over 70 per month. Meanwhile, Airbus has been planning to ramp up production of the A220 for years, with a slew of orders from U.S. airlines that will be fulfilled from a new production line in Mobile, Alabama.
Nonetheless, aerospace analysts expected a much slower recovery in production rates. After all, most experts believe that global air travel demand will not return to 2019 levels until 2023. Since growth planes typically account for more than half of all commercial aircraft deliveries, many analysts expected aircraft demand to remain well below pre-pandemic levels by at least 2024.
Still, demand doesn’t have to return to 2019 levels for Airbus to boost fuse production to record rates. Instead, it can count on gaining market share at Boeing’s expense. Indeed, Airbus ended April with 6,187 narrow-body jets in its order book, including more than 5,600 A320neo family aircraft. In contrast, the Boeing 737 backlog fell to just 3,239 units.
For the moment, Airbus’ target of increasing the production of the A220 to 14 per month is ambitious. At this rate, its current backlog of 494 unfilled orders would only last three years. In contrast, Airbus has enough orders for the A320neo family to last seven years at a rate of 70 per month. With such a long backlog, it’s no wonder the aircraft manufacturer is considering even higher production rates.
Boeing hopes to restore production of the 737 to 42 per month by the end of 2022. This level of production – 26% lower than the rate of 57 per month that Boeing applied before the 737 MAX was grounded in 2019 – should be durable. But unless there is a huge jump in orders that is unlikely to materialize, Boeing will never come close to building 63,737 each month, as it expected at the end of 2018. Its current order backlog would last just over four years. at this rate of production.
Demand for large bodies remains low
As Airbus is poised to convert its backlog advantage over Boeing into a production advantage in the narrow fuse market, the backlogs of large aircraft from both aircraft manufacturers are tied. Unfortunately for Boeing, demand for large aircraft remains quite low and may never fully recover, due to the disruptive potential of the Airbus A321XLR.
In its recent production update, Airbus said it plans to continue building just two A330 widebody jets per month for the foreseeable future. And while it plans to increase A350 production from five per month to six per month next fall, it had built 10 A350s a month before the pandemic.
In short, Airbus’ aggressive production plans for narrow fuses position it to capture market share from Boeing in this high potential segment. Meanwhile, Airbus sees the current widebody recession continue indefinitely. Together, these developments suggest that Boeing’s revenue, earnings and cash flow will remain well below the highs reached in 2018 for the foreseeable future.

Many Filipino and international students enroll in Philippine flight schools not only for their relative affordability, but also because the country provides aviation students the opportunity to experience flying over diverse terrains including mountains, flatlands, oceans, lakes, and cities.
Compared to many countries in the western hemisphere, the Philippines generally offers low cost of living, high literacy rate, and quality education, as determined by the success of Filipino professionals in the country and all over the world. Its human resource export in various professions and fields of expertise is one of the highest in the world. Most of these professionals finished their education in Philippine learning institutions.
The country’s low cost of living makes it an advantage for international students to get quality education in the Philippines at the fraction of the cost in most schools in other countries. This is very much apparent in the case of Philippine aviation schools. The English language is used by Filipinos, so there’s no much issue when it comes to communication. It is also the medium of instruction used in schools. The student visa requirements are generally manageable. The Philippine culture is a significant mix of the east and the west, which makes it both an interesting place to travel and study.
Here is a shortlist of the popular flight schools found in this developing country:
PATTS College of Aeronautics

This post is related to the most recent blurb on moons…it is about NASA and how Arthur Secunda ties into this organization.
July 29th of 1958 marks the beginning of NASA, a day “when Congress passed the legislation and President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act into law” (nasa.gov). Top administration was appointed in August; Keith Glennan and Hugh Dryden. However, it wasn’t until October 1st that NASA was open for business.
Now what does any of this have to do with the Arthur Secunda Museum at Cleary University? Well, let’s take a look into the past.
Arthur Secunda had been making artwork for some time when he created a piece titled Volcano. Dr. Milton Halem, Former Chief Information Research Scientist, saw this particular image while attending an exhibit. It was at this moment that he desired to collaborate with Arthur. It took years to track Arthur down. Finally, after an interesting discussion…Arthur became an employee for NASA. Dr. Halem recognized the potential that Arthur could offer to NASA regarding the representation of colors emitted by the satellites. After seeing Volcano you’ll understand his decision to make Arthur a Color Visualization Consultant.

Vintage Wings of Canada's "High Flight Harvard" doing a low fly-by at the 40th annual Stanley Fly-in before departing for Quebec City.
Seeing a WWII aircraft in Nova Scotia is not a very common sight so it was really nice to have Vintage Wings come out this way. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. To commemorate that Vintage wing has been flying this Harvard across the country to air shows. Stanley Airport was one of the first Training Bases in Canada and was their final stop.

Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader, survived with minor head injuries after a small plane carrying a “Vote Ukip” banner crashed in Northamptonshire on the 6th of May 2010
The two-seater plane crashed landed near Brackley at Hinton-in-the-Hedges airstrip. Farage was rushed to Banbury’s Horton Hospital after witnesses saw him walk out of the plane covered in blood.
A hospital source verified Farage’s admission this morning, albeit there are contradictory claims about the degree of his injuries. “He’s going to be alright,” stated a Ukip spokeswoman.
Farage has been “drifting in and out of consciousness and is presently being X-rayed,” according to his agent, Chris Adams.
“Nigel was unconscious, but he can talk,” he added.
The pilot was more badly injured, suffering from back problems. After being ejected from the plane, he was transferred to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital.
The fixed-wing plane was found upside down in a field 20 metres from the airfield, with considerable damage.
The plane was carrying a banner that read, “Vote for your country, vote Ukip.” According to eyewitnesses, the banned became entangled in the plane’s tail fin.
“We’ve heard unsubstantiated information that either the banner got snagged up or there were cross-winds and it was an unfamiliar airfield to the pilot, who had to be cut out of the plane,” a Ukip spokeswoman said.
The plane took off from the Winchester region early this morning and flew into Hinton.
According to the official, the accident occurred as the plane was taking off again from Hinton. The plane was scheduled to fly over Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Northamptonshire.
“Short after 8 a.m., a light aircraft came down at Hinton in the Hedges airstrip near Brackley in Northamptonshire,” a Northamptonshire police spokesman said.
“There were two persons on board the plane, a pilot and a passenger, and both received what are believed to be minor injuries.”
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch is investigating the crash, which is being assisted by Northamptonshire police.
Farage, an MEP for the South East of England, is running against Speaker John Bercow in Buckingham. He stepped resigned as Ukip’s leader last year.


The plane went down completely unexpected, I was planning to take it and fly it on the upcoming Summer events with the 777, still don't believe That it's gone!
we're still investigating what cause the crash, still not sure yet if it was too slow! two other planes lost signal and crashed at the same spot that day, there will be another video soon about the crash.
Thanks to HobbyKing for those lovely wheels, unfortunately the airplane didn't have the chance to land on them.

Could space travel soon be the norm? When Jeff Bezos soared to the stars last July, it raised the question of when a quick trip to the cosmos may be feasible for the rest of us, especially given the growing possibilities in space travel and its rapid technological advancements. Dr. Cameron M. Smith and his Pacific Spaceflight team have left nothing up to chance. The archaeologist has been working for the past decade to test, design and carefully craft spacesuits that are functional yet also perfect for the sartorially inclined.
“The basic tool of space exploration is the space suit, and it can carry any style we like, just like our daily clothing”, explains Dr. Cameron. In collaboration with ethical retailer The Canvas, Dr. Cameron’s Pacific Spaceflight have released an exclusive collection of NFTs that come with a customised spacesuit tailor-made to an individual’s specifications. The NFT will be embedded into the suit on an IYK* chip, while the suit will also come with training opportunities in extreme altitudes and other benefits.
We must go to space as human beings visually communicating our own identities, not just government identities.
Dr. Cameron Smith
Equally exciting will be be an installation that celebrates this incredible marriage of fashion and technology, including a curation of The Canvas’ existing brands alongside the thrilling new NFT collection of spacesuits. Titled “Down To Earth”, the installation spotlights “creations for Earth and beyond”, including silk pyjamas, knitwear and of course, the spacesuit NFTs. And after 10 years, Dr. Cameron’s work was finally realised: “We have spent a decade learning to build the space suit, and we are thrilled to make our second collaboration with The Canvas, to blend art, style and technology for the human future beyond Earth.”

Hitting the blunt, then launching astronauts into space sounds like a great Rick & Morty episode.
But in the world of American mainstream political optics, SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience has become a bad look.
This week, NASA’s chief said the agency will investigate SpaceX in 2019 for adherence to federal drug-free workplace contracts, amid concerns about an unconventional corporate culture that starts at the top. SpaceX is located in Hawthorne, CA.— a state where cannabis is legal for adult-use.
“We need to show the American public that when we put an astronaut on a rocket, they’ll be safe,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told the Post in a Tuesday story.


You stand still and you might let it pass by you
In 1966, NASA’s budget used to be roughly 4.5% of GDP, but today is it less than 0.5%. It doesn’t mean the US isn’t investing into space business today. It means private sector is moving into this arena for a big time. Have you heard of Space X, as a starter?
At NYSSA we hosted an event on Sept 15 focusing on space investment landscape. This is a little bit different from the nature of most other events we host but financial literacy being one of our missions, when Sidney Nakahodo, along with Peter Sang came to NYSSA to pitch the idea of us collaborating to look into launching international space university in New York a few months ago, we immediately began to look into how we could make this happen.


When I was little, my parents would take my brother and I on weekend outings to the local airport to watch the planes. It was a classic small town airport – back then, the airport didn’t have many big planes, but it had small and charter planes, and everyone in the airport was friendly and knew everyone else. There was also an airport cafe.
The cafe was in the flight school building, right on the runway beside the control tower, and probably hadn’t changed since it was built in the 50s. The cafe was nothing remarkable, with white walls and basic tables and chairs, but it had big windows that gave the best view of the runway. They also served amazing sticky cinnamon buns.

One Small Step for Man… And More of Neil Armstrong’s Most Memorable Quotes
I was saddened to hear of the death of Neil Armstrong last night. Aged 82 years, the first man to ever set foot on the moon took his final breath. I hope he had chance to appreciate NASA’s latest foray into space in the form of the images being fed back from the Mars Curiosity rover.
Of course, someone who achieved so much greatness in his lifetime will not be forgotten. Here are some of Neil Armstrong’s most memorable quotes:
That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.
Neil Armstrong’s most notable quote referring to his first steps on the surface of the moon.
Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.
Armstrong’s words following the successful anding of Apollo 11.
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
Neil Armstrong’s account of blotting out the Earth with his thumb.
I think we’re going to the Moon because it’s in the nature of the human being to face challenges. We’re required to do these things just as salmon swim up stream.
A legend of a man who achieved something children all over the world dream of doing. RIP Neil Armstrong.


In 2012 a rover (Curiosity) has landed on Mars.
Few years earlier, in 2004 a little robot called Opportunity has also landed on the red planet. Its mission was planned for about 3 months but despite all predictions the rover is still running.
On the occasion of the 13th anniversary of Opportunity landing, my company created a mini comic reffering to these two robots.
I'm the author of the drawings.
The author of the screenplay is a journalist Jarek Chrostowski.


British satellite company OneWeb confirmed an asset write-off of $ 229 million after canceling planned take-offs from the Russian facility earlier this year.
The company, which is partially owned by the UK government, is building the 650 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation to connect to some of the world’s most remote parts, transforming consumer services, in-flight Wi-Fi, and industrial applications.
It launched satellites from the Russian-operated Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, but halted operations there earlier this year following its invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian space agency Roscomos demanded guarantees that after the invasion of Ukraine, the technology will not be used for military purposes against the country.
OneWeb has since reached agreements with Elon Musk’s SpaceX and New Space India to continue take-offs as it pursues its goal, but Russia seized the equipment left in Baikonur leading to a write-off.
The company faced bankruptcy in 2020 before it was saved thanks to the acquisition by Indian telecom operator Bharti Airtel and the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The government now owns a third of the company after an investment of £ 400m. Since then, it has received additional investment from the South Korean firm Hanwha, which has increased its total funding to $ 2.7 billion since its inception.
Earlier this year, OneWeb agreed to a merger with Eutelsat (opens in a new tab)hoping that the combination of their financial and technological resources will enable the creation of hybrid LEO / Geostationary Orbit (GEO) services that can better compete with services such as SpaceX and Amazon Project Kuiper.

KSLC - Salt Lake City International
Salt Lake City International Airport is located five miles northwest of downtown Salt Lake City. The airfield consists of three air carrier runways and a general aviation runway. Runway 16L/34R is 12,003 feet long, runway 16R/34L is 12,000 feet long, runway 17/35 is 9,596 feet long and runway 14/32 is 4,900 feet long.
KDCA - Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
The airport is located in Virginia. Federal law and Virginia Code both state the airport is "situated within the Commonwealth of Virginia". The airfield contains 3 runways. In 2012, the runway was resurfaced and extended to increase the runway safety area. The other two runways are Runway 15/33 at 5,204 feet, and Runway 4/22 at 4,911 feet.


There’s lots of programmes over the next few weeks in the UK to mark the 50th anniversary of the lunar landings (I’m guessing there’ll be quite a few in the US, considering it was America that actually did it.) I watched 8 Days to the Moon and Back on BBC2 last night, which was a 90 min docu-drama. It took original footage from the astronauts themselves, along with TV footage and mixed it in with actors lip-synching to declassified audio footage of the mission. It was extremely well made. It was a BBC production, but I believe it is going to be shown in the states next week. Just a heads up to look out for it, if you’re into that sort of thing, because it was fantastic.

My sweet baby boy--he's trying to figure out what the strange thing that keeps flashing is!
A coupl weeks ago we went to the air show! I remember going to a few when I was young and I knew Dane was gonna love it! We went to a cemetary on top of a hill, with a lot of other people ( I guess that's what they do here) and hung out and watched it! It was incredible! If I was a boy, I would want to be a pilot, of something, a jet, a helicopter, something! I had goose bumps the whole time! They had it at Kaneohe Bay and the planes would fly up into Ka'a'awa Valley and come out and it was breathtaking! Cool!
There are jets around here somewhere--I think I put in the wrong picture!
