Whilst my friend did some refresher training with the Spartan Executive owner I took the opportunity to get some time on the wing in the RV8

Sadly MSM wants instant answers and a "human interest" story, preferably with someone to blame and/or someone to make a hero ( yes, I'm old and cynical )

2/ we are tasked with trying to keep the show safe on behalf of the Flying Display Director, if we saw an aircraft too low we would call it but it's difficult to tell if an act is below gate height during a manoeuvre..

Australian and US airshows are regulated a bit differently to the UK, we tend not to allow the very low level stuff here, it doesn't take much of an error to end badly. Although I have an aerobatic DA I didn't use it as most of what i fly is vintage. As an FCC (flying control committee) member 1/

@that-girl-atco.bsky.social I think I heard you on this morning so can blame you for interrupting my peace and quiet ;-) ( I think something might have been launched off 07 at an interesting time)

A photo of the front cover of issue 1653 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The front cover reads "A Weep in Politics" and shows Keir Starmer speaking to his visibly emotional Chancellor Rachel Reeves in the House of Commons. Speech bubbles read: "I've got a very taxing job" and "You certainly have now!" The subheadings include: "Inside: U-turning on the Waterworks", "Two-Tear Keir", and "Things Can Only Get Wetter!"

Installation of the Leduc 021-01 on the back of its carrier aircraft to leave for the test centre around 1953.
The 021 was an experimental aircraft between the primitive 010 and the more advanced 022 for the development of ramjet.
