Jet Powered Paratrooper Wings

May 2, 2007

I’m not really sure what to call these other than AWESOME! Apparently some Swiss aviator has developed a set of jet powered wings because jumping out of a plane with a parachute was just too boring. It’s hard to say exactly how fast he’s traveling, but considering that he’s traveling at the same speed as [...]

I guess it takes practice to master any skill, but seriously… this guy must have practiced a LOT! I’ve never seen a remote controlled airplane do anything like the stunts this guy performs – much less doing them inside a gym where you could hit walls, the ceiling and the ground.

I’m no pilot, but for Christmas I did get two new awesome remote control toys: A Blade CX2 electric helicopter and an AeroBird Swift electric airplane. These are not the cheap kind you get at Toys R Us, but the high end ones that come only from hobby stores. Having never owned any high-end R/C [...]

Real Time Flight Tracking in Google Earth

February 2, 2007

FBOWeb.com has created a very cool real-time flight tracking feature for Google Earth. Obviously, in order to try this out you’re going to need Google Earth (if you don’t yet have it, you can learn about and download it here.)

Happy Birthday Bruce! This post is especially for you! This link will take you to the US Air Force’s online photo gallery. They have some of the coolest airplane photos I’ve ever seen, and I’d say they must have pictures of every military aircraft ever flown. For those of you that stumble upon this page [...]

Swiss Air Force – Push The Limit

January 17, 2007

Another post courtesy of Jimbo… This time take a ride along with the Swiss Air Force as they fly over some stunning scenery at what appears to be close to Mach 1 speeds. I’m no expert but they kind of look like trainer planes especially since they don’t appear to be armed. But I’m sure [...]

Especially for you aeronautical fans out there, here is a collection of images you can use to decorate your desktop wallpaper. Some of these photos are really, really cool. I especially like the one of a plane that looks like it’s breaking the sound barrier or something.

500 MPH Honda Private Jet Available Soon!

September 6, 2006

For the relatively minuscule price of $4,000,000, you’ll soon be able to park one of these babies in your personal driveway. Well, maybe if your drive way is about 1/4 of a mile long and has a hangar at the end of it. But that’s not the point… Honda is getting into the airplane business [...]

UK plane diverted after ‘bomb’ note

August 18, 2006

I don’t mean for this to sound insensitive, but… Great! Now every moron who decides to scribble a bomb threat on a napkin and leave it on a plane can ensure that the aviation industry cowers to their prank.
