CTV News via The Associated Press
Share
It's going to be a while before U.S. airline passengers can use iPads and other electronic devices during the whole flight.

Plane modifications led to Reno air show crash that killed 11
Reuters
Share
Extensive modifications to a racing airplane — nearly all of them undocumented — led to mechanical failure that probably caused the deadly crash at a Reno air show last year, U.S. transportation officials ruled. The Galloping Ghost, a highly modified, World War II-era P-51 Mustang fighter plane, lost control while traveling at 445 knots (512 mph, 824 kph) and crashed into the stands on Sept. 16, killing the pilot and 10 spectators. Another 64 people were injured, 16 of them seriously.

Participants learned about the science and mechanics of flying, and kids over eight got to take a free flight.

Water bomber deserves place in history
Canada.com
Share
An important piece of B.C. history will be flying south this autumn when the Philippine Mars water bomber, now retired from fighting forest fires, makes its final flight — to a Florida aviation museum. It's Florida's gain and Vancouver Island's loss. The aircraft is one of only seven of its type - and one of the two still in existence — built by the Glenn L. Martin Company for the U.S. Navy, which wanted the planes to transport troops and supplies across the Pacific during and immediately after the Second World War. With a wingspan of more than 60 metres, it is the largest operational flying boat ever built, according to Dirk Septer, writing in a Forest History Association of B.C. newsletter.
