PropBlast

Just east of where I sit today is one of the few acrobatic practice areas left in Southern California. This video of the 2006 Sportsman class routine is by James Pratt, who also flies out ouf Sunrise Aviation at SNA. Check it out!

This YouTube video has some INCREDIBLE nap of the earth flying. Amazing to see the pilot screaming across the desert at minimal altitude reading a map! Check it out!

That PropBlast.org is now running under a new design, and many might notice, that it is also running under new technology. I've chosen to run this site under SubText, a fork off of the older .Text blogging sofware. I'm hopefully that you all will like this change. This will give us the ability to add not only comments to the postings on the site but will also make my postings available via RSS for those who would prefer to consume this feed that way rather than coming and checking the site every few days.

If you are missing content on the site anywhere, please let me know and I'll accelerate converting that section of the site.  For now, I'll be moving stuff over as fast as I can. I've got all the home page articles over and I'll be merging in my personal blog in with this as well.

Anyway, enjoy and please leave me comments and let me know what you think!

between the plane and the floats...

This picture, found on the Priceless website, shows the sad fate of this Cessna floatplane. Quite often I've heard of straight float planes putting it down on a wet grass runway without out too much problem. However, it appears that the floats decided that this was a no-go operation and the forward struts collapsed as a result.

I can only assume this is another entry in  Fun With Photoshop journals. I can't imagine a commercial airliner pulling up to the gate windows with this on it's nose. But then again, you never really do know, do you?
