 This is the middle of the TV/film awards season; the ‘Golden Globes’ have gone, soon it will be time for the ‘Oscars’. As the film stars move down the red carpet to a volley of camera flashes, you can hear the speculation, ‘Wow! What a colourful outfit! ‘Has she had any work done, do you think?’ Well, here is one film star who is decked out to dazzle, AND she’s had LOTS of work done under that skin! The story of TA719, a Mosquito TT.35, is fascinating….. The De Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was almost ‘all …

My face still turns red when I think of the time I was being seen in a Cessna 182. We took off and reduced the power to cruise-climb. I was pretty excited about the constant speed brace and manifold pressure gauge – both firsts for me. My instructor was a kindly old gentleman using a deep resonant voice. He previously high standards and never scolded. I was determined in order to reach those standards and gain his approval. “Has a lot of power, doesn’t it? ” he or she rumbled. “Sure does! ” “That power …

Over the past year or so, rumours on the Internet have persisted that China has been building a stealthy STOVL (Short Take Off Vertical Landing) aircraft in a similar vein to the F-35 Lightning II. Pictures of said aircraft are non existant but the rumour mill still persists that it’s either real or will be at some point in the future. It doesn’t take long looking on the chinese defense forums and websites to see the odd snippet of information, although there is a lot of miss information out there also, of …

Back in May 2010, I went to Geneva, Switzerland, to cover the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition.  I flew on KLM and had to connect at Amsterdam Schiphol, one of my favorite airports.  I had some time to kill, so I wandered the gates looking for international aircraft to shoot.  I came across this shot of KLM and its SkyTeam partner (and my former employer) Delta Air Lines.  Enjoy!

After every flight, United Parcel Service pilots fill out a form, called a ‘gripe sheet,’ which tells mechanics about problems they experienced with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that the UPS ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by …

The viewer gains insight to the stress involved in the film directing industry, Hughes’ sexual relationships; perhaps most notably Katharine Hepburn, and the inevitable anguish experienced through his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. …
