Peterborough Examiner
Passengers of Fly it Forward — Girls Soar saw a different side of their city — though it was some of the girls' mothers who seemed to get more of a kick out of it than their daughters.
"I was more excited about it than she was," said Erin Bell, who flew with her daughter Elizabeth, 10.
Hosted by The Peterborough Flying Club/COPA 34, the two-day event was part of Women of Aviation Worldwide Week.
The global outreach initiative aims to promote aviation as a career for girls.

 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently met with U.S. President Barack Obama to address the barriers that have arisen for tourists and businesses wishing to cross the U.S.-Canada border. During a televised news conference, the two world leaders outlined ways travel and trade could be both eased and encouraged in the near future, whether by land, rail or air. Events earlier this year proved just how tenuous travelers' freedom to cross the U.S.-Canada border can be.

We will depart from British Columbia's Okanagan Valley on or about June 6 and return there a couple of weeks later. Some aircraft may wish to join us at Kelowna or Vernon for the departure — but individual aircraft will of course be free to join anywhere along the route — and of course to leave the squadron at any stage of the proposed route. We have roughed out a very tentative itinerary. At this stage it is totally flexible; it can and will be adjusted to conform to the wishes of participating pilots. Highlights of this iteration suggest: 4,400 nm — 30 hours at 150 knots or 40 hours at 110 knots.

The French town of Les Sables d'Olonne is no stranger to ambitious missions to harness the forces of nature.
It's best known as the departure and arrival point of the Vendee Globe, the notoriously tough round-the-world nonstop solo sailing race.
Maybe that explains why it's here, far from the world's major centers of aircraft manufacturing, that a team of visionaries is readying a ground-breaking new aircraft concept.

Officials at the Germanwings airline couldn't have done anything to prevent last year's fatal crash, according to the final report issued yesterday, because they were not informed by anyone — "neither the co-pilot himself, nor by anybody else, such as a physician, a colleague, or family member" — that Andreas Lubitz was suffering from mental-health problems at the time of the flight.

Evoking the open-air feeling of sport plane flying from the 1930s, the single-seat Pober Pixie, with its parasol wing and open cockpit, is a playful and happy-spirited flying machine.
NX321PX was completed by co-owners Rick Gritters and Tom Vander Linden of Pella, Iowa.
Designed by Paul Poberezny in 1974, the Pixie's appealing appearance is similar to a Heath LNB-4, and both aircraft have a Clark Y airfoil.
