US president Donald trump said “Iranian missile busted Ukrainian plane.”
A spokesman for the Iranian government said reports that missiles downed the Ukraine International Airlines flight that crashed near Tehran Wednesday are “a big lie,” state-run media reported.
The spokesman, Ali Rabiei, accused the United States of spreading misinformation about the crash, in which all 176 people on board were killed.
“No one will assume responsibility for such a big lie once it is known that the claim had been fraudulent,” Rabiei said in a statement, according to Press TV.
“It is unfortunate that the psychological operation of the US government, and those supporting it knowingly and unknowingly, are adding insult to the injury of the bereaved families and victimizing them for certain goals by propagating such fallacies.”
The plane, a Boeing 737-800, was headed for Kiev when it crashed shortly after takeoff from Imam Khomeini Airport in the Iranian capital. The victims include 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three British nationals.
Reports from the United States and its partners surfaced Thursday that the plane may have been shot somewhere near surface-to-air rockets.
English Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Canadian partner, Justin Trudeau, said Thursday that insight indicated the business airplane was destroyed. The two heads said it might have been unexpected and required an examination.
A US official acquainted with the knowledge said the plane was shot somewhere around two Russian-made SA-15 surface-to-air rockets. The US saw Iranian radar signals lock onto the jetliner, before it was destroyed. Video sent to Info Dunia seems to show a rocket terminated into the Tehran sky early Wednesday morning and striking an article in the sky.
Ali Abedzadeh, the leader of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization, said the plane’s secret elements – which may contain information that would assist agents with making sense of what caused the accident – were harmed, so Tehran may require help deciphering them.
Abedzadeh additionally provide reason to feel ambiguous about ends the plane was destroyed. “In the event that a rocket or rocket hits a plane, it will free fall,” he told Info Dunia.


Photojournalism always gives you lots of opportunities to live, like the one I had to face for RguNotizie.it on the morning of February 16th. As part of the initiatives of the 70th anniversary of the OMA Tonti (a renowned Foligno company specialized in the aircraft industry) for the journalistic magazine of Radio Gente Umbra, I had to create a photo shoot about the press conference and the subsequent flight test for us journalists. Together with the director Fabio Luccioli and the president of the Caritas Diocesana of Foligno Mauro Masciotti we spent a morning in the clouds of the Umbrian South Valley. From the airport of Foligno we arrived above Trevi and then reached Montefalco, with turns in group of three as spectacular as they are exciting. A plaudit to the pilots who made us feel the thrill of flying in a four-seat aircraft and for the entire sector (Oma Tonti, Foligno Airport and Aeroclub) that organized such a beautiful day for us journalists that we were in the air but also those who were admiring these maneuvers from below, like the students who would soon take cloche and commands for their first flights.

When army F-14 Tomcats engaged and shot down Sukhoi Su-22 jet warring parties in 1981, they drew on event and strategies they had discovered from a prior come upon with MiG jet opponents. the adaptation among the 2 encounters used to be that during the 1st, the enemy warring parties have been flown by means of American pilots assigned to a best mystery squadron hidden at a distant airfield within the ultra-secret Tonopah Nuclear attempt variety, Nevada. within the moment, the Sukhoi warring parties have been flown through Libyan pilots trying to implement Colonel Qadaffi's 'Line of demise' over the Gulf of Sidra.
From the mid-1960s until eventually the top of the chilly struggle, the U.S. Air strength bought and flew Russian-made MiG jets, finally making a mystery squadron devoted to exposing American fighter pilots to enemy MiGs. Following underperformance within the Vietnam warfare, the USAF started to research MiGs which will enhance fighter pilot education. This then built into the "black" consistent Peg application. during this software, MiGs have been secretly bought, and made airworthy, a tough activity with no manuals or components. A mystery base was once stumbled on to function the planes from; after which ace pilots have been chanced on and knowledgeable not to merely fly the resources, yet fly them as they have been flown by way of America's enemies. ultimately, a software of revealing American fighter pilots to the MiGs used to be built. In all, greater than 1,600 American fighter pilots could educate opposed to America's mystery MiGs among 1974 and 1989.
Uncovering the tale of the key MiGs in the US through the chilly warfare, and particularly consistent Peg and the 4477th try & evaluate Squadron, is a problem simply because a lot of the knowledge has been destroyed, or is still labeled. To piece jointly the tale of this workforce of guys who supplied America's fighter pilots with a degree of teaching that was once the stuff of desires, writer Steve Davies has interviewed over thirty of the purple Eagle pilots, besides different individuals of the squadron. This paperback version contains new fabric on HAVE inspiration and different HAVE courses; making the MiGs airworthy in 1977 from the maintainers' point of view; and the intelligence actions of MiG specialist on the international know-how department Mike Coyle. the result's a desirable glimpse right into a "black" application that enabled American fighter pilots to enter wrestle having already met and defeated their first MiG.

This show is about women in space, in science and in history. It’s only becoming mainstream knowledge now that there were many women involved in global space programs in the 1960s. As part of the Mercury 13, Wally Funk was one of the pioneering women of space travel who often outperformed male astronaut candidates in tests of endurance. But just one week before the final phase of training, the programme was abruptly cancelled. Politics and prejudice meant Wally never flew into space. Undeterred, she went on to become an accomplished pilot and America's first female aviation safety inspector.
Today’s guest, Sue Nelson, is a physicist who has authored a book about Wally Funk and her colleagues of Mercury 13. You’ll be shocked when you hear what they went through just to take the tests - from being divorced by their husbands to losing their jobs, these ladies pursued space and science at immense personal cost. Sue wrote this book to bring their stories, experiences and learnings to a broad audience, in the hope of inspiring girls to pursue their dreams in science, and ensuring that the huge sacrifices and contributions that female aviators have made do not get left out of history books.
This episode was made possible by the generous support of the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature. Sue Nelson was a guest author of this year's edition, where she talked about her new book Wally Funk's Race For Space. Gift it widely!

"Historical account of the ground crew of Number 256 RAF night-fighter squadron, part of the Second Tactical Air Force in Western Germany."
The foreword to this book has been written by John Noakes, probably the most famous of all the presenters of the Blue Peter programme. He and the author were part of a close group of friends who formed part of the ground crew of Number 256 Royal Air Force night-fighter squadron serving as part of the Second Tactical Air Force in Western Germany and share many memories of that period.
“Quite simply a cracking & down to earth read” …publishedbestsellers.com


The other day I read the story about a man that found himself completely alone in a flight from Delta Airlines. This happened a couple of weeks ago and it was published by the person itself through his Twitter account and then it was picked up by several media, like CNN.
The story reminded me of a time when I took a flight with just 5 other passengers. The plane was an Airbus 320 so we basically had a quite a lot options where to sit, especially me because I was the only person in a Business Class that was set up in the first 7 rows of the plane. I basically spent the flight having a great service from the cabin crew, lots of attention (“Do you want another coffee, sir?”, every 10 minutes) and a quite, really quite 3 hours flight. The crew told me that this happened more times that you could imagine, but none of them mentioned to have experienced the “only one passenger” as it happened to @ohhleary.


Visit to Mojave Air and Space Port and Victorville Airport in the high desert of California. During Covid-19, and apparently with limited sources of entertainment, we visited the two largest “boneyard” airports in California. To see billions of dollars’ worth of beautiful planes dressed up in their carrier’s design sitting idle in a desert is a fascinating and eerie sight. These are large landing and storage airports where planes can be temporarily parked when not in use. Some are parked permanently and stripped of parts.
This parts business is very large in the U.S., with a couple publicly-listed companies involved in the dismantling, rehabilitating, storage and sales of parts. It was particularly interesting to visit at this time since much of the world’s fleets have been partially grounded. Airlines also took the opportunity to permanently ground some of their larger and more costly planes. Sadly, this has resulted in most of the passenger Boeing 747s and Airbus 380s being put out to pasture. This solidifies the trend of smaller planes, running more frequently from point to point, rather than the less frequent hub-and-spoke model.

|Kentucky Air National Guard C-130 – Georgetown, Ky.|
The history of Georgetown’s community airport began in 1987 when the airport board had only $500 dollars. Seven years later, a 4,000 foot runway opened with a single hangar and no income. When last year’s World Equestrian Games was on the horizon, the Georgetown-Scott County Regional Airport underwent a $4 million renovation which involved the construction of a beautiful terminal, expanded hanger options and a longer runway.
|Terminal at Georgetown-Scott Co. Regional
Airport – Georgetown, Ky.
Not long ago, the airport board broad even more attention to this community airport with a well-executed airshow called AirFest which both I and the lil’ Kaintuckeean attended.
Although his favorite plane was a two-seat experimental that looked quite similar to Anakin’s craft on Star Wars, we both were also quite impressed with the C-130 Hercules transport brought in by the Kentucky Air National Guard. This behemoth plane is impressive.
Although only there for a little over an hour, we witnessed several takeoffs and landings of experimental, military and historic aircraft.
The Georgetown-Scott County Regional Airport is a great facility located just east of Georgetown on US 460. I hope to return next year for another AirFest (if it becomes an annual event)! You can view more pictures of the Airport (and from Airfest) on flickr.

这次乘坐的是A380.世界上最大的客机，To be honest , I was really suprised when I was inside the airbus. There are ten seats in each row. Amazingly huge.
The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS. It is the largest passenger airliner in the world. Due to its size, many airports had to modify and improve facilities to accommodate it. Designed to challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large-aircraft market, the A380 made its maiden flight on 27 April 2005 and entered commercial service in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines. The aircraft was known as the Airbus A3XX during much of its development, before receiving the A380 designation. The nickname Superjumbo has since become associated with it.
Junyao Airlines, a privately owned mainland airline, plans to raise 150 mln usd by offering 20-25 pct of its aviation business to overseas strategic investors, the South China Morning Post reported.
Junyao Airlines made its maiden flight last September. The company has four aircraft, but aims to expand its fleet to 67 planes by 2010 - with Junyao Airlines flying 30 aircraft and low-cost carrier Okay Airlines the remaining 37, including 20 for passenger flights and 17 for cargo, the newspaper said.
Junyao Airlines ordered six Airbus A320 planes in June.
So ,what is air sick?
看看Motion sick 的解释就明白了，其实都是一回事，晕机和晕动症的原理是一样的。
What is motion sickness?
Motion sickness is a very common disturbance of the inner ear that is caused by repeated motion such as from the swell of the sea, the movement of a car, the motion of a plane in turbulent air, etc. In the inner ear (which is also called the labyrinth), motion sickness affects the sense of balance and equilibrium and, hence, the sense of spatial orientation.
For many people, air sickness is a serious problem that affects them every time they go on an airplane. Air sickness occurs when your brain receives mixed messages, due to the fact that you appear to be moving and shaking in some ways, while in other ways you appear to be still.
Do not eat a large meal before getting on the plane. Eating a large meal just before your flight increases your chance of getting air sick.
Try to avoid thinking about getting air sick. If you do, you may convince yourself you are sick.

The world’s first airline was formed in the early 1920s, and since then, new alliances have been established on a regular basis. Here we take a look at the ten largest airline alliances in terms of total number of seats. The world is changing and airlines are taking a page from the car industry. For the first time, an international airline alliance has formed between Canada’s Air Transat and Ireland’s Aer Lingus. The new alliance will allow for more flights and lower fares for Canadian and Irish travelers. The deal was announced this week on July 8th in Toronto at an event hosted by former prime minister Brian Mulroney. First Airline Alliance is a type of formal cooperation between airline companies. It has become more popular in recent decades, with many airlines around the world forming First Airline Alliance with other carriers that serve their region. This type of formal cooperation between first airline alliance is relatively recent phenomenon in aviation that has helped make air travel more convenient for passengers around the world.
An alliance is a close collaboration that helps First Airline Alliance find new ways to grow their business. An alliance can be formed between two or more airlines, and allows them to share resources and market each other’s services through joint ventures. This means you’ll be able to fly on both airlines with just one ticket. Airline alliances have been around since the 1960s, but they’ve only become popular in recent years as more and more carriers have realized what great benefits they offer. However there are some drawbacks too – we’ll talk about those later on in this article!
The first airline alliance was formed in the 1960s and was called the International Air Transport Association (IATA). It’s still around today, but it has changed its name to IATA – The World Airline Council. The IATA is a global association of airlines that promotes cooperation between them and provides support for their operations. The first major airline alliance was formed in the 1960s and was called the International Air Transport Association (IATA). It’s still around today, but it has changed its name to IATA – The World Airline Council. The IATA is a global association of airlines that promotes cooperation between them and provides support for their operations.
The first airline alliance in the world of international aviation was formed in 1997, when Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines merged their transatlantic operations under a single brand name. At that time, this type of formal cooperation between two or more airlines was a relatively recent phenomenon in the industry–an outgrowth of increasing complexity brought on by globalization and deregulation.
Alliances allow airlines to compete more effectively against each other: they can offer customers greater choice in terms of destinations served, better schedules, increased frequencies (which translates into shorter travel times), lower fares and enhanced loyalty program benefits such as frequent flyer miles or points earned through credit card usage. They also give airlines access to new markets where they may not otherwise have operated before due to limited resources such as aircraft size/capacity available within an individual market segmentation system (i.e., low-cost carriers). For example: If you’re flying from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on United Airlines today then chances are good that after takeoff into clear blue skies over Santa Monica Beach you’ll fly directly over Hollywood Boulevard where many famous celebrities live like George Clooney who owns homes both here as well as abroad!
The first airline alliance was formed in the early 1990s. The first airline alliance was formed between United Airlines and Continental Airlines, who were both based in the United States. The purpose of this alliance was to strengthen their market dominance by creating a larger network of flights and destinations that passengers could travel to using either airline’s services.
The next major step forward came when American Airlines joined forces with British Airways (BA) and Iberia Airlines from Spain (IB), forming what became known as Oneworld Alliance. This group now has 15 member airlines working together through one reservation system, allowing customers to easily book tickets on any one of them if they wish so; however this doesn’t mean that everyone can fly everywhere though: some routes may still be unavailable due to capacity issues or other factors like weather conditions etc., but overall it’s still great news. The next big step in the airline industry came when Qantas, Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia joined forces to create the “Powered by Oneworld” group. This became known as “Oneworld Connect” and allowed customers to book tickets on all three airlines with ease.
The first airline alliance in the world of international aviation was created by three airlines in 2010. The collaboration was born out of a joint venture between American Airlines, British Airways and Iberia that began operating as Oneworld in February that year. Since then, several other alliances have been formed with the aim of creating more effective networks under common branding while also attracting customers through their shared loyalty programs. It is a historical milestone for the aviation industry as it signifies a new era in global air travel. The world has been waiting for this moment for decades and now it has finally arrived. The alliance between British Airways and American Airlines is the first airline alliance in the world of international aviation. It was formed on February 14, 2011 and has since been joined by Iberia Airlines and Finnair who also share these codeshare agreements with both BA and AA. First Airline Alliance is a great way for airlines to work together and make air travel more convenient for passengers around the world. This type of formal cooperation between First Airline Alliance is a relatively recent phenomenon in aviation, but it has helped make air travel more convenient for passengers around the world.

Part one: overview of the Tuskegee Airmen and the Red Tails movie
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American aerial combat unit. Deployed in Europe during WWII, they painted the tails of their planes red and became known as the Red Tails. To the Americans, they were the Red Tail Angels. To the Germans, they were the Red Tail Devils. To all of us, they are heroes who sought a Double Victory: victory in the war abroad and victory over prejudice, segregation and Jim Crow laws at home.
Red Tails is the Lucasfilm movie about the Tuskegee Airmen. It will be released this Friday, January 20. Go see it opening weekend! If your students are old enough, seeing the movie could be an extra credit assignment. (In the interest of fairness, provide a free extra credit opportunity: a report on the Red Tails.)
Red Tails is an action movie. Rather than dramatize how the Tuskegee Airmen began with a civil rights struggle for equality in military service, the movie opens with their most dramatic and successful missions: protecting B-17 Flying Fortress bombers.
Bombers were unwieldy and vulnerable. They were slow and they had to fly steady. They couldn’t avoid the flak and they were shot down at an alarming rate. Fighter pilots charged with protecting them would chase kills to make Ace or simply flee the incoming fire.
Not the Tuskegee Airmen. The Red Tails never left their bombers and consequently never lost a bomber. These courageous pilots flew through the flak and stayed with their charge. The bomber groups requested the Red Tails because of their outstanding track record. Few of the bombers knew the pilots protecting them were black.
This past weekend, I was unbelievably excited to meet Tuskegee Airmen in an event to honor their legacy. I was thrilled to pose for pictures with three Tuskegee Airmen. I will post one picture for each entry in this miniseries.
Here I am with Lt. Col. Robert Ashby, a Tuskegee Airman. After graduating from the cadet program in 1945, he went on to have an illustrious career in the military, serving in the occupation of Japan, the Korean conflict, and finally in England, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 1965. Lt. Col. Ashby was the first black captain for Frontier Airlines. He was also the first black pilot to reach mandatory retirement age (60 years) with a major airline. He was the only Tuskegee Airman hired by a scheduled airline. Read a short autobiography here. Read more about Lt. Col. Ashby’s military career on this fact sheet from Luke Air Force Base.
*Incidentally, Luke AFB is home of the Emerald Knights, one of my dad’s old squadrons and the one I remember most clearly. They were based at Homestead AFB near Miami when my dad flew with them.

The first aircraft of Czechoslovakia took off for the first time in 1919 - just 100 years ago. Therefore, the Czech Mint introduced the half-ounce gold medal which is part of the free cycle of the most beautiful unrealized designs submitted for competitions of the Czech National Bank to commemorate the groundbreaking Bohemia B-5.
"We have neither transatlantic ports nor ships - the air is our sea," Jan Bervida, propagator of Czechoslovak aviation, said. That idea was shared by many of his compatriots. The famous aviator Jan Kašpar attempted to build his own aircraft in the Czech lands at the beginning of the 20th century. Not one, but four airplanes were created by an Bohemian club before the World War I. The fifth machine of the Pilsen association became the first Czechoslovak airplane in 1919. The engineer Oldrich Haller constructed a small two-seat biplane with a two-leaf wooden propeller, an open cab, a linen cloth and a B-5 designation. Almost everything was used with typical czech ingenuity in order to construct the airplane. Its construction was based on the components of decommissioned Austrian or German machines and a number of building components were provided by supporters of aviation from Pilsen. Haller managed to improve the engine of brothers Wright's groundbreaking airplanes so much that its performance increased by 20% to 40 horses. The Bohemia B-5 had experienced ups and downs. It welcomed President Masaryk and it had a tragic accident. Fortunately, it has not been lost in history and we can still admire it in the National Technical Museum. Although the first Czechoslovak airplane was made by a group of enthusiasts, the first real aircraft factories were established in Prague at the same time and the aviation became a showcase of the young republic ...
The proposal design of the mintage was made by the medal maker and teacher Luboš Charvat, who won the second place in the competition of the Czech National Bank for the "perfect depiction of the airplane's take-off from the airport with the hangar in the background ". The reverse side of the medal then presents a trio of views of the Bohemia B-5 - from top, front and from the side.
The schedule of issuance counts only 99 pieces. Each medal is manually numbered on the edge and accompanied by an illustrated certificate of authenticity that tells the story of the first Czechoslovak airplane.


“Airplanes are not only seen, they are touched”, this is the motto of this museum. A space that has 3000 m2 of exhibition and more than 4000 m2 of outdoor exhibition.
The Malaga Aeronautical Museum‘s collection comes from airports all over Spain, among which 9 historic aircraft stand out. The museum shows pieces related to aviation from its beginnings in the 1920s to the present day.
Would you like to see what a control tower from the 1940s looked like? They have it! You can also see historical aviation advertising, access to the inside of a DC9 cabin, and everything you can imagine.
In Malaga’s Aeronautical Museum you can enjoy the first plane that brought tourists to the city, the Convair 440.
This museum has an engine room, “Propulsion in all its forms”, and another interactive room where you can learn about the history of Malaga’s airplanes.
This space in the city of Malaga is made possible thanks to the donations it receives and the help of volunteers known as Friends of the Museum.
Another highlight of this space is its location, the Aeronautical Museum is located in the former passenger terminal of Malaga airport in 1948. Before becoming a museum, it was used as an aeroclub.
It is not a very well known place but if you visit Malaga with children it is undoubtedly a place worth discovering.


Vaughan Fittall desperately wanted to fly, so when WWII broke out he jumped at the chance to join the New Zealand airforce, and soon found himself in the thick of battle over Europe, fighting for our freedom!
Vaughan was just an ordinary New Zealander who had grown up making model planes and watching the pilots take-off and land at his local airfield at Rongatia near Wellington. He never thought he’d be able to fly, but the outbreak of WWII changed everything.
Rather than wait to be conscripted into the army, Vaughan decided to get in first and signed-up to the airforce. After completing his initial training with a flight around Mount Taranaki in a Tiger Moth, Vaughan was sent to England to join the 486 New Zealand Squadron, flying everything from Hurricanes to Spitfires.
Vaughan would later be posted to the 198 Squadron based at RAF Manston in Kent, flying the Hawker Typhoon and focusing mainly on low-level ground attacks. He was an excellent pilot, rising to the rank of Flight Commander, but after months of fighting his luck had finally run out and his plane was hit and damaged over Belgium.
Over 100 miles from home, with his radio broken and his arm bleeding from a shrapnel wound, Vaughan somehow managed to keep his plane in the air and find his way back home.
Vaughan was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, which recognizes exemplary gallantry during active operations against the enemy in the air. After completing his operational tour he continued to put his flying skills to good use as a test-pilot for D. Napier & Son’s, helping to improve the Hawker Typhoon’s infamously unreliable engine.
A pilot of exceptional merit. He has led his flight in numerous sorties over France, Belgium and Holland, in the course of which much damage has been inflicted on the enemy.DFC citation 1943
Vaughan later married his Welsh fiancee, Leading Aircraftwoman Kate Parry (otherwise known as Kitty), and they returned to settle in New Zealand. The competitive edge that had kept him alive in the skies over Europe saw him excel in athletics. At the ripe old age of 61 Vaughan was the Auckland Champion in his age group for the 800m, 1500m, 3000m, and 5000m, and the New Zealand champion in the 1500m, 5000m, and 10000m.

We have just returned from an inspirational visit to the National Space Centre as part of our Space Expedition.
The visit was an excellent opportunity for the children of year 5 and 6 to explore and find out about Space; including what it is like to be an astronaut, how stars form and the different planets within our solar system. The children were engaged from the minute they arrived, exploring the different exhibits. Then they discovered how the rockets, which are exploring space today, work. It was definitely an exciting, explosive show.
The highlight of the day however, was visiting the fantastic full-dome 360 degree planetarium. Here the children had the opportunity to explore outer space. They were guided by a presenter through the solar system, visiting each planet in turn to find out interesting facts such as ‘Planet Uranus was originally called George in honour of King George III’. All the children had a brilliant day; it really helped to bring our Expedition to life. They have come back to school excited to continue finding out about space and life beyond planet Earth.
I’d like to say a big thanks to all staff and parents for making the day memorable.

Yesterday, NASA announced that they are going to hold a press conference this coming Thursday at 2pm eastern (1 central!). The press release announcing the conference stated that that the scientists appearing there would “discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.”
Last night, blogger Jason Kottke discovered the press release and did a little looking into the background of the scientists NASA has invited to participate in Thursday’s press conference. His conclusion? That NASA will be announcing the discovery of extraterrestrial bacterial life on Titan (one of Saturn’s moons).
Based on the fairly dry press release put out by NASA, Jason’s conclusion is a pretty big one to jump to, but nevertheless, it’s been picked up by the likes of Gawker, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, CBS News, and of course, PC World.
All of these esteemed news sources essentially just echo Kottke’s analysis, and advise readers to “stay tuned.” Here’s some free advice: don’t bother.
If NASA really had discovered real proof of extraterrestrial life on one of Saturn’s moons, they’d make a much bigger deal about it. They’d also probably say something about it in the press release. Instead of life on Titan, we’re going to go way out on a crazy limb and say that on Thursday NASA will announce “an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.” Translation: they’ve learned something that may help scientists someday find extraterrestrial life.
We know it’s popular these days to distrust the government, but in this case we think NASA’s probably on the up and up. Did they learn something cool about astrobiology? Almost certainly. Did they find proof of extraterrestrial life? Likely not.
Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to order Jason Kottke a jump to conclusions mat.


Our quilt square shows our husband/father doing what he enjoyed the most – piloting our hot air balloon. He was so happy when he could fly along with his other fellow balloon pilots. He flew “Ashley’s Rainbow” almost 10 years and enjoyed soaring with the winds. He was taken from us all too soon, but now soars with the angels in heaven. We will never forget him, his smile or laughter!!
The prayer on the square is the “Balloonist’s Prayer” – something that is said at the end of a balloon flight.

Paying tribute to aviation is nothing new for watchmakers, and nearly every luxury brand has a line of pilot’s watches that celebrate horology’s unique place in the world of manmade flight. Less common is the watch that commemorates a specific aircraft. Luminox, however, has devoted an entire line to the subject: its AIR Series features timepieces whose stealth looks and aircraft-inspired designs honor some of the most remarkable strategic flying machines in history.
The AIR Series has just grown by two with the new F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II Flight Calculation/Chronograph watches. Inspired by fifth-generation stealth fighter jets, the new models each feature a bidirectional rotating bezel with black aluminum slide-rule ring and a dial ring with tachymetric scale to measure speed in kilometers, miles, or nautical miles per hour. The slide rule bezel can also be used to calculate distances, flight times, and fuel consumption.
Of course, most of us will want to wear them just because they look amazingly cool. The F-22 Raptor (Series 9270) features a 44mm case built of solid blackened titanium that houses a 13-jewel Ronda quartz movement with a host of useful functions, like a 1/10-second chronograph that times events up to 12 hours in duration. Chronograph times are shown via a central seconds hand, in a subdial at nine o’clock that displays total minutes and hours, and in a 1/10-second subdial at six o’clock. The face is covered with an antireflective sapphire crystal, and the case back depicts the F-22 Raptor aircraft. The watch is offered on either a solid-link titanium bracelet ($1,600) or a leather strap with red contrast stripe detail ($1,225).
For those who want something more colorful, the F-35 Lightning II (Series 9380) fills the bill with a refreshing blast of orange. The black, textured dial features bright orange hands and design elements that give the F-35 a strikingly sporty look. Like the F-22, the F-35’s 45mm stainless-steel case houses a 13-jewel Ronda movement, with a 1/10-second chronograph featuring central seconds and an hours-and-minutes totalizer at nine o’clock. The most eye-catching feature, however, is the 1/10-second indicator just below the dial’s center, which features a semicircular counter with bicolor propeller hand set against a two-color scale. The case back depicts the F-35 Lightning II aircraft and Lockheed Martin logo. The watch is available with a solid-link steel bracelet with signature Luminox buckle ($1,200) or a black padded leather strap with orange contrast stitching and signature Luminox buckle ($1,000).
Both watches feature a bold big-date display, water resistance to 200 meters, and Luminox Light Technology, a proprietary system of micro gas tubes on the hands and markers that glows continuously for up to 25 years—which is more than enough time for you to earn your wings.

I’ve come out of pseudo-retirement to note a paradigm-shifting date — the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. Much virtual ink has been spilled around the web in this regard, yet nothing seems more compelling, readable and incisive than this op-ed piece in the New York Times by the ever-dapper Tom Wolfe. Wolfe wrote The Right Stuff (1979) and has been following American space exploration since before the momentous (and according to some, possibly fictional) event in question.
Essentially, he says a new quest to land men on Mars is key to both an American and global future, and what was lacking in the old NASA zeitgeist wasn’t ingenuity (which they had in spades), but philosophical refection about the whole purpose of the endeavor…That and good “words”.
A sombre swan song about men in space. And a simultaneous ode to the power of language.
By way of the orbiting carnival that is Arts & Letters Daily.


Flying machines only properly got off the ground in 1903 so they really are a defining invention of the 20th century. It’s a sad fact that, before an aeroplane had even been flown in Australia, the Commonwealth Government offered a prize for the first person who could invent one for military purposes. Our WWI pilots flew French and British planes, as it turned out.
This is a gorgeous 1914 picture of the first seaplane in Australia which was imported by Lebbeus Hordern and piloted by Maurice Gillaux, a dashing French acrobatic aviator who would die in 1917, doing test flights for the French military. I love this – the old technology stands behind the new but they are both just canvas and sticks. You wouldn’t have gotten me up in one of those for quids, but people took them into battle, against Zeppelins and guns and other planes! I guess war is the best place for


These gorgeous images were taken by Landsat 5 – a satellite that has spent the last 29 years orbiting our earth.
It circled our planet over 150 000 times. Watching as we were born, died, celebrated, went to war, danced and cried. And captured over 2.5million images of our world’s terrain on the way. From a perspective that most of us will never be able to experience.
Landsat 5’s journey was meant to last three years – but it kept going until a broken gyroscope put it out of commission. Its legacy lives on in these stunning images.


FAIROAKS AIRPORT VISIT FOR BEAVERS…....
Written on: 16th October 2018
Report by Aidan M, Beaver Scout
One evening all the Beavers went to Fairoaks Airport. I was excited
to look at the planes and see how they work. The first thing we did
was go through the safety rules. There were things on the planes that
stopped them catching fire when they got hit by lightning. We had to
be very careful not to knock them and make sure we told someone if we
did. Then we went up to the control tower. We learnt about how
planes send signals to the tower and take off and land safely. There
was a clock in Zulu time that is used all over the world. There were
cameras which see the planes on the runway and a button which called
the fire crew if there was a fire. The man said not to press it
because the fire crew don’t like it when people disturb their tea and
biscuits! Next we went to the big hangar where they keep the planes.
We saw the fire trucks and sat in a very expensive helicopter. It had
a TV in it and it cost 6 million pounds, one single rotor blade cost
£40,000. There was another plane for aerobatics that cost 10 million,
the wings were so strong you could put one car on each wing and it
wouldn’t break. We saw lots of other planes in the hangar. Then we
went out near the runway and saw some other planes. The last plane to
land that day was due soon and the fire trucks were waiting for it
before they could go home. I thought the trip was amazing and my
favourite part was going in the control tower.


Welcome to Quesnel
The Quesnel Flying Club began on June 11, 1954. There were 10-12 guys who decided to unite as a non-profit society to promote and encourage flying and the world of aviation in general.
Through the years membership has fluctuated but is now strong with avid pilots.
The goal of our club has not changed but grown. We are now a group of pilots with their families who are pursuing the joys of flying and dealing with many of the changes occurring in the private pilots' world – such as regulations, Nav.Canada, insurance etc. As a group many issues can be dealt with more efficiently, giving weight to our concerns.
We openly welcome anyone with any interest in aviation to join us on the second Monday of every month at the Quesnel Airport (in the old terminal building) at 7pm.

2nd Repress including full colour poster. Cosmonauts from the East and astronauts from the West have made us fantasize about space travel for about half a decade now. Since acts like Hawkwind started to provide mankind with a soundtrack to NASA’s and Rosaviakosmos’ activities the Space Rock phenomenon has spread to all corners of our planet. The epicentre of this musical division of interstellar space exploration is the city of Gothenburg in Sweden, were bands like First Band from Outer Space, Hills, The Movements, Uran and Yuri Gagarin are the leading scientists. Yuri Gagarin’s “At the Center of All Infinity”, is to be released in December 2015 on Kommun2 (home to Agusa, Hooffoot, The Spacious Mind). The artwork was made by Swedish artist Pahl Sundstrom.

NASA Astronaut Don Pettit has captured amazing once in a lifetime images of Earth and the stars of the universe in motion. He is using a slow shutter technique to capture the light trails of the stars & earth as the International Space Station whizzes by overhead. Pettit sets his camera to a 30-second shutter and snaps multiple exposures for 10-15 minutes at a time. He then blends all of the images together to expose dreamy, futuristic frames of space travel only as it can be imagined. Few photographers will be so lucky to have this perspective in this generation. In the near future thought perhaps we will see more “Space Travel” photography, we can only hope so. Check out more photos below.
If you didn’t hear about it there was a meteor shower over Santa Barbara this past weekend. DNA’s own Paul Vert trekked up to the mountains to capture a clearer view. A much different perspective then Don Petit, but still very cool.

Oh, the Places (We’ll) Go
Out of This World
If you’ve ever looked out into the vast night sky, chances are, you were impressed. The moon, the Milky Way, meteors, and so much more give us a nightly light show that can rival any holiday attraction. But with so much fascination, we’re also left with so much wonder. Are we really made from stardust? Is the moon really made of cheese? All right, there's only one way to find, and that’s by joining us on Space Shuttle Kinda in 5...4...3...2...1... Lift off!

Tour the Space Shuttle
Before we launch, we have to get familiar with our space shuttle, and it just so happens to be the shuttle that delivered one of the world’s most famous telescopes—the Hubble Space Telescope. Major General Charlie Bolden and Dr. Kathy Sullivan, who were onboard for the special delivery to outer space, are ready to show us around. Use your mouse to explore and get a 360-view of the shuttle.

It’s not rocket science? Maybe it is, actually. There’s a real science (hint: it’s physics) behind launching a rocket into the unknown. Take a look at this infographic that explains how a rocket works.
Views from the Hubble
Now that we’ve taken off, take a look at these images that Hubble has captured over the years. Click on pictures that interest you to learn more. Get familiar with these because we should see a few of them right from our own shuttle!
Simple tasks can be a bit more challenging on board a space shuttle. Check out these five space experiments, from washing your hands (not so simple) to adding dye to a floating ball of water (really not so simple!).
Roving Over Mars
Without the help of rovers, we wouldn’t be able to know as much as we do about life and conditions on other planets. Check out the curious life of a Mars rover in action.
Landing and walking on the moon was an amazing accomplishment for human beings. So much so that we have never returned since our first landings in 1969. But recently, astronauts have been testing the theory that someday, humans will be able to live on the moon and other areas of outer space. Do you believe it?

Just a hundred years ago, venturing into the air was a daredevil’s challenge and flying was a breathtaking adventure. Now airline passengers are more concerned about security checkpoints, lost luggage, and food service, sometimes forgetting the wonder of flight. From barnstormers to commercial jets, from balloons and parachutes to massive transport planes, from the days of Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart to pilot training during World War II to the moment Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon – this collection of rare and iconic aviation images spans the length and breadth of a century of flight.
Aviation includes rare images of The Spirit of St. Louis, Amelia Earhart, the moon landing, the first sabotage of a jet aircraft in the United States, and many locations and planes of Midwestern and national interest.
“This photographic treasure… is a salute to those who made aviation into its many forms…” – Robert L. Taylor, founder, Antique Airplane Association
“This collection of vintage photographs captures the mystique of that early time … the aroma of aviation gasoline and engine oil.” – Robert C. Mikesh, Retired Senior Curator, National Air and Space Museum

They have you on this one. Humans may not have been to Mars, yet…but this is the 2nd rover the US has put on Mars. So technically…
Actually this is the 4th rover. Sojourner was the first, followed by Spirit and Opportunity.

In July 2021, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos went to space. But the question about edge of space remains open even after their successful flights.
In this article, you will learn what the Karman line is, which says right the same thing. Considering recent events of the first two tourists sent to space by the private companies, this line may be changed, which could lead to reviewing a few historical facts of who has been beyond the Earth and who has not.
In the 20th century, there was a Hungarian physicist Theodore von Kármán. He was into aeronautics and astronautics and spent his whole life working in these fields.
He was born in Budapest, however, he did most of his research in the USA. His contribution in the fields of aeronautics and astronautics is immeasurable because of his theories of non-elastic buckling, stability of laminar flow, and many others.
Kármán also was the first person to calculate where the Earth’s atmosphere becomes too thin for airplanes to fly. In 1957, he set this boundary at 275,000 ft (83.82 km), or Von Karman line.
