Woke about 6:30 this morning to a Good Friday air show.

For the last several years, as we do our daily walks around the nearby lakes at our AZ winter home, there has been an owl we keep an eye out for who nests in a palm near the walking path and has a brood about this time each year. I try to capture her in a photo, but with usually mixed...

Actually aviation kinda does do that. In most of the certified planes I have owned or been partners in, all of the wiring was white, with no labels, and the only noticeable difference between one wire and another might be the gauge size printed on the fireproof tefzel jacket over the tinned...

I'll bet that new tractor has been coming in handy this winter!

It will be busy no matter when you go, and can be a bit overwhelming when you see the size of the whole operation. When you go should depend on if there is something special that you want to see that is only going to be on a certain day. There are night time airshows using special lighting, and...
