Saw an article today about an aircraft that would change it's buoyancy, so it would float up like a balloon and then change buoyancy and glide down. Interesting stuff, although I doubt we'll see it anytime soon. Is something like this even practical? The article says they take the aircraft up...

I haven't flown in Baja California since 1970, so I don't regularly visit the Baja Bush Pilots' Web site. But I did yesterday, and learned that Arnold Senterfitt, author of _Airports of Baja_ and founder of the Baja Bush Pilots, died on Tuesday, February 16, at age 78. Arnold, who was still...
