A bit of history, a film that tells how Skywriting was done. Since there's not a lot of skywriting being done nowadays this is quite an interesting time capsule. It tells what needs to be used (smoke oil and the difficulties to overcome to spell out letters in the sky and upside down too. Bitchin!

The largest helicopter ever built..

The Soviet made Mil V-12 (Also referred to as the Mi-12, NATO reporting name "Homer") is the largest helicopter ever built. The name "Mi-12" would have been the name for the production helicopter. Since the V-12 never went into production and only two prototypes were built, the name "Mi-12" was never adopted.

The Sport Flying Revolution

The Sport Flying revolution has just begun. In 2004, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), working closely with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) created what has been called “The biggest change in aviation in 50 years.” They created an entirely new category of aircraft (Light Sport Aircraft) as well as a new category of pilot license (Sport Pilot), both aimed specifically at consumer recreational flying. Now, the dream of flight is more accessible and more affordable than ever before.

Satisfy your sense of adventure… It’s time to join the the ICON revolution!
