When you're hurtling through the air at about 230 miles an hour and are just 50 feet or so off the ground the last thing you want to be seated in is an aircraft purposely built to be unstable. But that's just where South Delta brothers Keith and Vic McMann enjoy being.

Flights of fancy
The Western Star
Share
Skill, nerve, level-headedness; these are the qualities of a good pilot. They're also the same qualities, though on a smaller scale, it takes to fly a radio-controlled plane. This is the tenth year of the Humber Valley Radio Controlled Flyers Club. They meet at their field on the dirt road off the TCH just past the truck inspection station near Pynn's Brook, mainly in the morning because that's when the wind is low.

The Toronto Sun
Share
A group of local girls have stumbled upon a significant piece of Second World War history that's resurfaced from the depths of Lake Huron. Amy Cooper, 13, and sister Lisa, 12, were swimming with friends at the Sarnia Riding Club beach when they stumbled upon a piece of twisted metal buried in the sandy floor of the lake several feet from shore. "My concern was that someone was going to get hurt so we decided to try to dig it out," Amy said. "There was only a foot showing and once we realized it was longer than that, it was more difficult to get out."

It sure beat a day at the office. The day began with a tour of the hangars and buildings where the cadet program is based. Along with two other members of the local media, I spoke with some of the base employees who help make the cadet program possible. They do everything from teaching students the principles of flight to recording each cadet's flight hours to fixing and maintaining the glider planes and the aircraft that tow them.

Union seeks to block Hawker Beechcraft sale
Canadian Business via AP
Share
The machinists union for Hawker Beechcraft is trying to block the proposed sale of the struggling aircraft manufacturer to a Chinese company, contending it would give China access to technology it doesn't yet possess and would saddle American taxpayers with paying the Wichita-based company's underfunded pension obligations. Thus far, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers has had little success rallying support in Washington, including from Republican Rep. Mike Pompeo, who represents Wichita's district, and Kansas' two Republican senators, Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran.
