VIDEO: Flying the de Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk

Agent 17 e-mailed us to say that the photo of the de Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk (in "Take off, eh! de Havilland Canada flies again!", WWW 3/6/19) brought back happy memories. That thank-you prompted Ed. to hunt around for some video, and here's what he came up with.

Just short of 18 minutes, you'll see the narrator take his first flight at the controls of a Chipmunk, from the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association at Windsor ON. 17, this is for you!

VIDEO: Absolutely amazing airshow stunts!

All you aviation buffs -- I know you're out there -- will surely join Walt in thanking Agent 17 for this short (4+ minutes) video of highlights from the 2014 edition of the Cameron Air Show 2014. Agent 17 said watching this array of cunning stunts was good for his bowels. Walt agrees.



The Cameron Air Show is held every year in Cameron MO [No surprises there. Ed.], hard by St. Joe. The 2015 show is just one month away -- June 27th and 28th. Here's the FB link with the lineup and other details. Air ya gonna be thar?

VIDEO: Two minutes of aviation majesty

It's been a while since we had anything for aviation buffs. Those who like to see the old (WWII) warbirds in action will surely enjoy this trailer for the July 2014 air show at The Imperial War Museum in Cambridgeshire, which we have courtesy of Agent 17, aka Sky King. Walt recommends full screen mode, and sound up, to send chills up your spine.

Marketing experts have long known that nothing stimulates a real man like... wait for it... moving conveyances -- things that get you from point A to point B (or beyond) in the fastest and most furious a manner possible. You know: planes, trains and automobiles. [That would make a great title for a movie! Ed.]

Earlier today we did a great camper-trailer, attached to a pretty great off-road unit. Who said the Japanese can't build a better jeep? Now it's time for stuff that really moves, a passion for which Walt shares with Agent 17.

Here's the trailer for this year's Duxford Air Show, featuring the wonderful warbirds. As far as I know, you won't see as large and fine a collection, all in the air at the same time, anywhere in North America. Definitely worth the trip to Old Blighty.
