Sky always retains sense of awe, mystery
The Sault Star
Share
Even though the skies have felt a bit of this human's touch, they will always retain a sense of awe and mystery. There is something universal (pardon the pun) about those rolling puffs. Their ethereal shapes and colours are beyond anything we can conjure. For this fall's air show over Lake Superior seems to be wilder than ever. Bulbous mountains of grey and indigo sweep across the horizon shape shifting from battleship to rosebush to feather. Although they bring us our daily rain, they are all magnificent.

Flying cars go back to the future
Macleans
Share
One spring day more than 15 years ago, Col. Joe Kittinger, an experimental test pilot and world-renowned extreme skydiver, slid into the driver's seat of a 1954 Taylor Aerocar, coaxed it to a speed of 130 km/h on a runway outside Minneapolis, and took the craft, looking something like a stubby Volkswagen with wings, to the air. Kittinger was in his mid-70s and, as a fellow in the Society of Experimental Test Pilots, had flown dozens of aircraft over a career that spans 16,800 flying hours. Yet this was the first flying car, and it was almost 50 years old.

Memories of the east end air show
Hamilton Spectator
Share
My friend Jim Margueratt and his big brother Ed called the other week to let me know they’d finally found it. The elusive Hamilton Municipal Airport plaque. Now, I know what you're thinking. A plaque would be hard to find in Mount Hope. It's a big, sprawling backcountry where there aren't a lot of markers or people to ask. Needle in a haystack, right?

Airports to get new, less-invasive body scanners
STL Today
Share
Just in time for holiday travel, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is receiving a new type of body scanner that should help speed up the lines at security checkpoints and that displays a generic outline of each passenger rather than specific body images that critics have blasted as 'a virtual strip-search,' the Transportation Security Administration has said.
