How to Sky Write - 1935

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!

Weaponized RC Plane Shooting Fireworks

To celebrate Independence Day, some guys thought that shooting fireworks from RC planes—using an electrical firing system—was a great safe idea. Judging by the music, however, it seems they were celebrating Hitler's invasion of Poland.

Russian Fighter SU30

Russia now has the #1 fighter plane in the world... SU-30- Vectored Thrust with Canards. As you watch this airplane, look at the canards moving along side of, and just below the canopy rail. The "canards" are the small wings forward of the main wings. The smoke and contrails provide a sense of the actual flight path, sometimes in reverse direction. Can you belive that the guys & gals who fly these bitchin planes get paid!

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!

The Smallest Jet ever Made - The BD-5



The BD-5 Micro is a small American, single-seat homebuilt kit aircraft introduced in the early 1970s by Jim Bede. The BD-5 has a small fuselage holding its semi-reclined pilot under a large canopy, with the engine installed in a compartment in the middle of the fuselage, and a propeller (or jet engine in the BD-5J variant) in the rear. The combination of fighter-like looks and relatively low cost led to the BD-5 selling over 5,000 kits or plans.
