Not even close Obama was body slammed by McCain by
TheTruth[_3_]
The first debate was fairly even but McCain took
the school boy to class and McCain was the professor.
When it comes to the military and world affairs Obama is
clueless. Obama looked like a buffoon when the debate turned
to foreign policy. IAW McCain cleaned Obama's clock in the
2nd debate not even...

Interesting New Squadron Slated For Cannon AFB by
Marco Leon
Described as "A new squadron to handle AFSOC's growing mission of
flying small, civilian-style aircraft to carry special operations
troops without attracting the attention that a C-130 does. "
So we can be flying a "warbird" and not even know it!
However, talk about bursting a pilot's bubble:...

Sopwith Camel Video by
Kevin Dunlevy
This plane has some serious gyroscopic forces, even while the engine is
warming up at the chocks. Throttle control by the mags sounds interesting in
the sense of the curse "May you live in interesting times." KD

lots of big hangars, nice facilities. I was wondering what was in Driggs

Aviation incidents by

There was an incident involving an Emirates A330 at the end of last

airplane was in the air for about an hour after taking off and had
returned to make an emergency...
