I'm doing a short seminar work on radio antennas on aircraft for my university and I have been doing some research on the side to see what form and position antennas take on different aircraft. I read somewhere that that pointy...

I caught the last 10 minutes of Paul Harvey today . . . he was talking about Meigs Field. Harvey is a pilot and is a Chicagoan (I think). After spending the entire time decrying the awful thing that Daley did, describing how the Mayor had coveted the lakefront property for years, etc, etc, he...

Is one of my favorite movies, up there with Memphis Belle. They had an interview with two of the Tuskegee Airmen who answered questions about how realistic the movie was. One of them shot down a Nazi jet fighter. Even though they won many medals, the two veterans said that they experienced terrible...

About a month ago I flew out of JFK and saw an ElAl aircraft parked near the intersection of Alpha and Juliet (and Bravo and Kilo) taxiways, near he intersection of runway 4L/22R and 31L/13R. It was surrounded by a structure of gantries and wires that surrounded the aircraft. Anybody have any...

Heard the tail end of a nice number on "All Things Considered" today. The title was reported as "Sunken Walls", and the theme seemed to be the freedom introduced by the Wright Bros. first flight. Didn't catch the name of the band, but it hails from Arizona, if I heard correctly. Might be worth...
