9/11: CIA Likely Built Remote-Controlled Commercial Jets in Aircraft Boneyard
This would explain how 9/11 hijackers were able to "fly" commercial jets with little experience
Wayne Madsen | Infowars.com - October 29, 2015
Sometime during 2012, when the late 9/11 researcher, author, and veteran Boeing 757 and 767 pilot Philip Marshall was contacted by a few of his old CIA colleagues from his days as a contract pilot for “the Company,” little did he realize what secrets would await him at an isolated aerodrome in the Arizona desert known as the Pinal Air Park.
If it were not for the fact that sprouting like Arizona cacti from the desert base of Pinal Air Park are the large fuselages and tails of hundreds of passenger jumbo jets, passers-by on Interstate 10 between Phoenix and Tucson would miss the site that has hosted the CIA’s fleet of private planes and proprietary airline companies over some six decades.
Not always a magnet for curious tourists, Marana was once a training field for U.S. Army Air Force, U.S. Air Force, and Nationalist Chinese pilots during World War II and immediately afterward. During the Korean War, Darr Aviation trained student pilots for the U.S. Air Force. In the 1950s, Marana was used by the CIA’s Special Activities Division to test the Fulton Skyhook, a surface-to-air harness recovery system used to extract agents from hostile locations.
Popularly known as the “boneyard” for civilian aircraft, Pinal or Marana also figures prominently in the events of 9/11. When this author attended Phil Marshall’s funeral in Mandeville, Louisiana in March 2013, a member of his family pulled me aside and confided, “If you want to know what Phil was working on before he died, the answers will be found in Marana, Arizona.”
Delta Airlines officially denies that its old planes are stored at Pinal.
The Calaveras County, California Sheriff contended that Marshall, in a bipolar rage influenced by pain killers and alcohol, of shooting to death his teenage son and daughter, the family dog, and himself in their family home in Murphys, California at the end of January 2013.
An FBI agent also confided to WMR that Marshall was peering into the pre-9/11 activities surrounding Pinal Air Park and its major CIA proprietary operator at the time, Evergreen Aviation.
A special investigation by WMR resulted in a different conclusion than that arrived at by a hasty Calaveras County Sheriff’s Department. Marshall, during a trip to Marana in 2012, met some old CIA pilot friends from the early 1980s. In those days, Marshall flew CIA drug running pilot-turned-Drug Enforcement Administration informant Barry Seal to places like Central America and Mena, Arkansas. Marshall was said by his friends and family to have been given some “smoking gun” information on the role that Marana played in the 9/11 attacks.
Marshall, a veteran United Airlines pilot with 15,000 hours in the cockpits of Boeing 757s and Boeing 767s, the two aircraft types allegedly involved in destroying the World Trade Center twin towers, the west side of the Pentagon, and plunging into a field in Pennsylvania, wrote two books — False Flag 911: How Bush, Cheney and the Saudis Created the Post-911 World and The Big Bamboozle: 9/11 and the War on Terror — doubting the official 9/11 Commission report that claimed that 19 Arab flight students, with only rudimentary training, were able to maneuver heavy jet planes in a manner that even seasoned pilots like Marshall said was virtually impossible. Impossible, perhaps, for human pilots but possibly not for special hybrid aircraft, fabricated to resemble commercial planes, painted with United and American logos and colors, and topped off with drone technology.
But where could such aircraft be produced without anyone’s suspicions being raised? Ever since 1948, when the U.S. Government turned the Marana field back to Pinal County, the CIA has maintained a presence there. Originally built by Sun City developer; Poston, Arizona Japanese-American relocation center builder; and former New York Yankees owner Del Webb in 1942, the airfield trained 10,000 pilots during World War II. Dinah Shore entertained the trainee pilots during a USO tour.
After the war, Pinal County leased Marana back to Sonoran Flight Services, which was contracted to the U.S. Forest Service to fight forest fires. However, the airfield soon gained the attention of the newly-inaugurated CIA, which piggybacked on the Forest Service contract to begin operating CIA proprietary airline companies from the location much prized for its remoteness. A fairly old massive pile of dirt located outside the main gate of Pinal Air Park is said to be the soil excavated for a massive tunnel system installed under the base by the CIA.
George Doole, the CIA’s guru on establishing proprietary aviation companies, decided that Marana was the best place to center the operations of a number of famous and infamous spook airline outfits, including Civil Air Transport, Atlantic General Enterprise, Air America, Southern Air Transport, Intermountain Aviation (for which Phil Marshall flew in the early 1980s), Continental Air Services (part of Continental Airlines that supported CIA and U.S. military operations in Southeast Asia), and, finally, Evergreen Trade. The latter is a diversified company started by Del Smith that is involved in everything from chemical spraying for weather modification to growing Christmas trees and operating a vineyard. Its aviation arm, Evergreen Aviation, for years operated Pinal Air Park for the CIA as a major center for maintaining and refurbishing aircraft for special operations.
The telltale sign of underground excavation and tunnels at Pinal: a huge mound of soil outside the main entrance.
Those “special operations,” as Phil Marshall was undoubtedly aware from his days as a pilot for DEA-informant Barry Seal, included narcotics smuggling, for which Air America and Southern Air Transport were the most infamous. To this day, incoming planes at Pinal are subjected to rigorous inspections by U.S. Customs and Agriculture Department agents for contraband and invasive plant, insect, and animal species.
In the 1990s, Pinal Air Park was used by the Department of the Treasury as a Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) to train special agents, including Secret Service agents, in motor vehicle protective driving techniques and firearms use.
According to Pinal Air Park sources, in the months before and just after 9/11, the facility was the home to over 200 commercial aircraft, the highest number than during any other recent time. While many airlines send their aircraft to Pinal for quick maintenance, other companies either send planes to the facility for long term storage or pull planes from long term storage for extensive overhaul and a return to service. Planes stored at Pinal are either destined for the scrap yard or storage for future use. A number of Delta Airlines planes are currently parked at Pinal with a number destined for the scrap yard after their parts are cannibalized. A Turkmenistan Airlines Boeing 717 was at Pinal long enough for some quick maintenance before it was returned to active service. Currently, an Air Jamaica Boeing 757 is at Pinal undergoing similar maintenance. Not so fortunate is a EuroAtlantic Airways Boeing 747 charter plane that is so weathered, its final destination will be a scrap yard.
Interspersed with U.S. commercial aircraft are foreign planes like the one above from China Eastern Airlines.
A similar boneyard and maintenance-to-storage, storage-to-scrap, and storage-to-maintenance/full operations facility for military aircraft exists at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base to the wets of Tucson. WMR discovered that there is a degree of coordination between the military boneyard at Davis-Monthan and the civilian one at Pinal Air Park.
Pinal not only has the capability to maintain aircraft but, according to a source familiar with the operations at the facility, it can manufacture aircraft from the cannibalized parts from other planes. In addition, the facility can fabricate new parts for special purposes. WMR learned that Pinal has the capability to enable large planes to be remotely operated. WMR can report that it was this capability at Pinal that attracted airline captain Marshall’s attention and was to be a central part of this third book on 9/11. After his death, the computer hard disk containing the manuscript for Marshall’s third book was removed from his residence in Murphys and was reportedly sent to the technical lab of the California Department of Justice in Sacramento for “analysis.” Neither it nor the manuscript contained on it have ever surfaced.
The intrigue does not stop there. In 2012, when Marshall visited Pinal and spoke to his contacts, Evergreen was in negotiations to sell its facility as part of the Pinal Air Park was slated for return to county control and development as a general aviation airport. Eventually, a company based in Rosslyn, in Arlington County, Virginia, Relativity, LLC, negotiated with Evergreen for the sale of the maintenance and storage facility at Pinal. Relativity then changed the name of the facility at Pinal from Evergreen to Marana Aerospace Solutions. Marana Aerospace dropped the armed guards at the main entrance to Pinal but an ominous “U.S. Government Property-Restricted Area” sign greets anyone trying to enter the area of the facility controlled by the company.
After visiting the Flightline Grill Restaurant, which is open to the public and where Marana Aerospace employees dine for meals, a white Marana Aerospace security pickup truck followed this editor’s vehicle to the main entrance of the facility. Only after the editor’s vehicle passed through the unmanned gate did the security vehicle make a U-turn.
One of Relativity’s principal officers is Leslie Armitage, who is also a co-founder of The Carlyle Group-Europe. Carlyle is a major investment company on whose board at the time of 9/11 was George H. W. Bush and whose major investors included the Bin Laden family of Saudi Arabia. Carlyle is no stranger to the aviation business, having invested in partnerships with Northrop Grumman and United Defense Industries.
The combination of the Carlyle Group, the CIA, drone aircraft capabilities, civilian jet aircraft, and the fact that 9/11 author and pilot Phil Marshall may have paid with his and his family’s lives for having this and possibly additional information about these connections certainly calls for a re-examination of the circumstances behind the 9/11 attacks and a new investigation by the state of California and the FBI into the death of Marshall and his two children in January 2013.

First direct flight from Shanghai lands in Barcelona
Barcelona (ACN).- The first plane connecting Shanghai and Barcelona landed at El Prat airport on Friday at 08:05am. The route, operated by Air China, is offered all year round, three days a week: Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The plane, an Airbus 330-200, has capacity for up to 239 tourist class ticket holders and 16 business class ticket holders. On its first trip, the plane had an 86% occupancy rate. The round trip from Barcelona to China departed from the Catalan capital at 12:30pm with an occupancy rate of 88%.
All flights for the weekend are already fully booked. Òscar Olive, Airports of Catalonia's commercial director, praised Air China for “having been able to recognize” the “clear demand” for direct connections between Barcelona and Asia. The airline has offered a direct link between the Catalan capital and Beijing since 2014.
During a press conference in Barcelona, representatives from Air China said that they decided to launch the new flight because indirect connections between the Catalan capital and Shanghai already surpassed more than 100,000 last year, a 19% increase.
Tourist class tickets for the Air China Shanghai-Barcelona direct flight start at €443, while business class tickets start at €2,043. Considering that Shanghai is the economical capital of China, the majority of passengers are expected to be businesspeople.
From Shanghai, passengers flying from Barcelona will be able to connect to other international destinations such as Japan, Taiwan, Australia or New Zealand. Cities from China such as Chengdu, Wenzhou, Fuzhou and Guangzhou are also served from Shanghai.

Released in the middle of last year during a peak time of COVID-19, Microsoft Flight Simulator was an opportunity for us to take to the (digital skies) and explore the marvels of the planet… and gawk at some of the world generation bungles. Microsoft and developer Asobo Studio have confirmed that the game will be getting a Game of the Year Edition from 18 November 2021.
This edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator is pitched as a “new edition [which] celebrates all the positive feedback, reviews and awards garnered, but it is also a “Thank You” to our fans – new and old – that have made Microsoft Flight Simulator such a phenomenon” This is not an alternate edition per ce, but instead a special update rolling out to existing players on the PC and Xbox Series X|S. While the original retail release will be retired, the GotY Edition will be taking its place. Alternatively, it will be available indefinitely via the Xbox Game Pass for both platforms.
So what does this GotY Edition Include? Below is a list of some of the promoted content of the update:
Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet
Our first military jet and a highly requested feature from the community. The Top Gun: Maverick expansion will release with the movie next Spring, but we wanted simmers to have the opportunity to test their need for speed this holiday.
We partnered with well-known German company Volocopter, which is working on an eVTOL called “VoloCity”, a vision for an urban air taxi. We worked closely with the Volocopter engineering team to develop an authentic version of the prototype aircraft for the simulator. This is our first aircraft that can perform pinpoint landings and is a teaser of what you can look forward to in 2022 when we intend to launch helicopters in the sim.
Pilatus PC-6 Porter
This legendary short takeoff and landing (STOL) utility aircraft is a highly versatile plane from Switzerland and comes with several cockpits, cabins, and landing gear variations. It is the result of our close collaboration with the manufacturer and the development efforts by famed developers Hans Hartmann and Alexander Metzger resulted in a great and fun new aircraft with exception capabilities in the simulator.

Based on the popularity of the recently introduced Discovery Flights, we are adding an additional 6 locations (Helsinki, Freiburg im Breisgau, Mecca, Monument Valley, Singapore, and Mount Cook) to this popular series.
To further expand the onboarding experience, we are adding 14 new tutorials, introducing simmers to Bush flying (in an Icon A5) and IFR (in a Cessna 172).
We are also pleased to introduce several highly requested features by the community: an updated weather system, early access to DX12, and a dev mode replay system.
New Photogrammetry Cities
As part of our ongoing collaboration with Bing Maps, we are pleased to add a number of new photogrammetry cities: Helsinki (Finland), Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany), Brighton, Derby, Eastbourne, Newcastle, and Nottingham (UK) and Utrecht (Netherlands).


Laboratory mice and other rodents have provided valuable information since the dawn of the space age. The mice on SpaceX-4 travel in a specially designed space rat habitat, and they will be used to study the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the senses, muscles, nerves, heart and other body systems.
The space station’s first X-ray machine, a bone densitometer, will be used to study bone loss in the rodents due to weightlessness.
If they work in space, 3D printers could be used to quickly make repair parts and tools that would otherwise have to be sent up from Earth. The experimental printer is made by the California-based company Made In Space and will work by heating and extruding plastic.
SpaceX has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA to provide at least 12 cargo delivery flights to the International Space Station using its unmanned Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rockets. The Dragon spacecraft is equipped with a heat shield, allowing SpaceX to return science gear and experiment samples back to Earth.
Dragon capsules currently make water landings in the Pacific Ocean and are recovered by SpaceX, which is based in Hawthorne, California. SpaceX is also designing a manned version of the Dragon capsule to launch astronauts to and from the space station. That capsule, the Dragon Version 2, will be able to land on the ground.

Kfir fighter Jet Aircraft
The project that would ultimately give birth to the Kfir can be traced back to Israel's need for adapting the Dassault Mirage IIIC to the specific requirements of the Israeli Air Force (IAF).
The all-weather, delta-winged Mirage IIICJ was the first Mach 2 aircraft acquired by Israel, and constituted the backbone of the IAF during most of the 1960s, until the arrival of the A-4 Skyhawk and, most importantly, the F-4 Phantom II, by the end of the decade. While the Mirage IIICJ proved to be extremely effective in the air-superiority role, its relatively short range of action imposed some limitations on its usefulness as a ground-attack aircraft.
Thus, in the mid-1960s, at the request of Israel, Dassault Aviation began developing the Mirage 5, a fair-weather, ground-attack version of the Mirage III. Following the suggestions made by the Israelis, advanced avionics located behind the cockpit were removed, allowing the aircraft to increase its fuel-carrying capacity while reducing maintenance costs.
By 1968, Dassault had finished production of the 50 Mirage 5Js paid for by Israel, but an arms embargo imposed upon the country by the French government in 1967 prevented Dassault from ever delivering the aircraft. The Israelis replied by producing an unlicensed copy of the Mirage 5, the Nesher, with technical specifications for both the airframe and the engine obtained by Israeli intelligence.
The Kfir entered service with the IAF in 1975, the first units being assigned to the renowned 101st "First Fighter" Squadron. Over the following years, several other squadrons were also equipped with the new aircraft. The role of the Kfir as the IAF's primary air superiority asset was short-lived, as the first F-15 Eagle fighters from the United States were delivered to Israel in 1976.
The Kfir's first recorded combat action took place on November 9, 1977, during an Israeli air strike on a training camp at Tel Azia, in Lebanon. The only air victory that the Kfir achieved during its service in the IAF occurred on June 27, 1979 when an Israeli Kfir C.2 shot down a Syrian MiG-21.
By the time of the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon in 1982 (Operation Peace for Galilee) the IAF was able to use both its F-15s and F-16s for air superiority roles, leaving the Kfirs for carrying out unescorted strike missions. Soon after all the IAF's C.2s began to be upgraded to the C.7 version, which enhanced the performance of the aircraft as a fighter-bomber, the Kfirs' new role in the IAF's order of battle.
During the second half of the 1990s, the Kfirs were withdrawn from active duty in the IAF, after almost twenty years of continuous service.
Specifications (Kfir C.2)
• Crew: One
• Length: 15.65 m (51 ft 4.25 in)

Haven't heard this one before on a flight. Flight delayed due to MS Surface falling out of its mount in the cockpit, cracking the screen. So, the captain had to go visit the "computer guy" before we could take off. At least he didnt have to call tech support... ????
It turns out that Delta Flight crews now use the MS Surface Device to complete all their paperwork for a flight and it resides mounted on a bracket in the cockpit. I would assume that it also contains all the content for emergency procedures, etc that used to take up a huge amount of space when it was all paper based. In this case, the screen of the device shattered when it got knocked off its base so the pilot had to go to the pilots lounge where a technician was on duty to retrieve a replacement. It delayed us a few minutes but I learned another piece of the flying puzzle today. Cheers.Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn


Please help us to relocate Mr Fox.
The Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre loaned a fox mascot last summer to a Lincolnshire based organisation for an exhibition but unfortunately he hasn’t been returned.
The item in question was a 106 Sqn crew fox mascot dressed in red coat and jodhpurs, some 15″ tall, with the accomplished missions written on his leg. Unfortunately, we loaned it in a busy period and the lady who collected him left before the loan paperwork was completed so his whereabouts are now unknown. We believe he may have been packed away after an exhibition and is now languishing in a store somewhere.
We wish his return, no questions asked, to MAVC, Westmoor Farm, Martin Moor, Metheringham, Lincs, LN4 3WF so he can be exhibited in his rightful place once more.
UPDATE: Mr Fox happily returned home toward the end of April. Friends of Metheringham Airfield are grateful to all who spread the word and are extremely happy to have him back where he belongs.
A New Addition……
Friends of Metheringham Airfield are delighted to have Dakota KG651 as their latest exhibit for the Martin Moor museum site. RAF Metheringham, was primarily a Class A wartime bomber station opened in 1943 and operating Lancasters from 106 Sqn. Following D Day, however, it became the airhead for casualty evacuation flights bringing wounded allied troops to the local military hospital at RAF Nocton Hall. This Dakota, therefore, will represent a little known facet of operations in the final stages of the war and hopefully provide future generations with hands on experiences of the early days of military evacuation as seen today by the brilliant work of the medics on the C17 hospital flights returning from Afghanistan.
Preparing for transport on Monday 16th November
DAKOTA C-47 KG651
Developed from the hugely successful 1930’s Douglas DC-3 passenger airliner, over 10,000 military transport variants where built during World War Two. The Dakota provided pivotal support for the massed airborne landings in Normandy on D-Day, Operation Market Garden and the crossing of the Rhine in 1945.
Our aircraft was built as a C47A at Oklahoma City in 1944. The manufacturer’s serial number is 13468. It was delivered to the US Army Air Force on 30th May 1944 as 42-108962 but was then immediately diverted to the Lend-Lease Program and allocated to the Royal Air Force as KG651 on 3rd June 1944.
As custodians of KG651 our main priority is to safeguard her preservation with a restoration program designed to return her to an original 1944 Specification to the highest standard possible.
Implement fund raising opportunities in order to provide KG651 with a permanent display hangar.
- Form a volunteer based support team dedicated to the continued maintenance and care of the aircraft.
- Work towards overhauling her engines in order to offer a passenger taxi experience.
- Maintain full public access to the aircraft including the cockpit.
KG651last flew in 2000 and is in a remarkably good condition as proved by a recent engineering inspection. In the longer term, if enough funds can be raised (current estimates indicate £300,000) and coupled with a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) supervised restoration and maintenance schedule, there may even be a possibility to achieve the ultimate goal and look towards a future that may see KG651 offering passenger flights and operated as a nonprofit flying memorial to the Royal Air Force Transport Command.
All this depends totally on our ability to raise funds for the project and the support of the Public so we would be very grateful to hear from anyone that would be interested in contributing towards the restoration or joining the KG651 restoration team.
Detailed History of KG651
Built in Oklahoma City USA, allocated manufacturers serial number 13468 – 30th May 1944.

AFF – a jump from 4,000 m with delayed opening of the parachute. Several dozen seconds of free fall and a few minutes of descent with an open parachute. The most popular form of practicing parachuting at both amateur and competitive levels. Also used by special forces.
If you want to feel a 55-second drop from a height of 4000 meters, then a few-minute flight on an open parachute, AFF training is just for you. AFF is an acronym for Accelerated Freefall. The AFF training will prepare you in a professional, safe, understandable, effective and quick way to perform parachute jumps on your own.
The course includes:

or by phone
+48 533 542 372
THE COURSE HAS THREE STAGES
we start with the theoretical part in which you will learn what it is all about (learning the falling
position, the basics of air movement, parachute control, landing as well as emergency
The practical part ‘on the ground’
the next stage is the practical part on the ground, which includes learning the correct figure
during free fall, training in a harness, opening the parachute and leaving the plane.
Practical part in the air
the last, most anticipated and exciting element is the practical part in the air, which is standing in
the door of a plane flying at an altitude of 4,000 meters, communication with instructors,
jumping out of the plane, 55-second free fall, parachute opening, open parachute flight and safe
Sounds great, but it’s not the end of the training. We learn throughout the course (during which you will perform 10 jumps with instructors / instructor), as well as after its completion. You make the first two jumps with the assistance of two instructors, the next ones with one. Each jump will be filmed and then analyzed together with the instructor. As part of the course, our parachute school will take you to the wind tunnel where you will feel what is a slow fall at a speed of 200 km / h. The question is, what after the course, where will I jump? After completing the course, you will still be a jumper student and can perform jumps by yourself, but under the constant supervision of an instructor. Our parachute school offers further opportunities to develop and perform jumps in the place where your adventure with parachuting began. Performing 50 parachute jumps will allow you to take the PJ (B) parachute jumper qualification exam, then you will become an independent jumper. Until then, you will be under the watchful eye of our qualified instructors who are still at your disposal.


Two days ago, an Ethiopian Airlines(Flight ET343) was traveling from Khartoum to Addis Ababa when the pilots nodded off and flew past the runway, continuing their route.
Air traffic control tried to contact the pilots multiple times, but could not get a hold of them.
When the pilots flew past the landing point, the autopilot disengaged, setting an alarm that woke them up.
Yesterday, 20th August 2022. Ethiopian Airlines Group suspended the pilot crew pending an investigation after they lost communication with air-traffic control in Addis Ababa before later landing safely.
This is bizarre and unbelievable, but it does happen sometimes.

The Last ‘Flying’ Comet
The Last ‘Flying’ Comet. The story of one man’s passion to restore the cockpit of one of the last remaining De Havilland Comets to full flight simulator status. The video shows the amazing detail that has gone into the restoration of this historic and iconic British airliner. Now anyone who ‘climbs aboard’ this simulator can get a taste of what it was like to fly in the pioneering days of the early jet age. The De Havilland Comet was the first jet airliner to fly anywhere in the world and this example once held pride of place in the British Overseas Airways fleet. Had it not been for the restoration work undertaken this valuable piece of history would have been lost forever.

Here is a space weather update as we head into Saturday, August 13th.
The solar X-Rays during the past 24 hours was at fairly quiet, although increased levels with a number of low level minor C-Flares detected. AR 3076, newly assigned AR 3079 and a new active region forming in the northeast quadrant will be the most likely sources for additional C-Flares. An isolated moderate M-Flare could also become a possibility should sunspot growth and magnetic complexity continue to evolve as well.
A long coronal hole (CH14) stretching from the southern hemisphere to the north could be the source of a high speed solar wind stream past Earth later next week. This will be monitored over the next several days.

Video: Sustainable Space
Finland’s first Science Satellite will be sent to space in June 2022.
Right now we are launching more spacecraft to space than ever in the human history and that is then seen as a space debris problem.
There are two debris problems, the old debris, which is already there, and the new debris which is coming from the new launches. And this satellite is looking at the new debris problem.
Most important points in preventing new debris is this satellite measures the environmental conditions, so that we can understand what the environment is, so that we can build more durable spacecraft.
The other thing that we are doing here is we are testing the orbiting technology, which is going to take the spacecraft out of the orbit when the mission is done. We think we know how near earth space works. We do not.
And that is why it is very important to send spacecraft to take measurements from the near-earth space.

Featured below is an unedited email from Robert Barrow from August 2017 keeping us up to date with his fantastic experimental aircraft which Race Paint/Fleeting Image painted in a multi award-winning design.
VH-EFX continues to win major awards. At the Avalon International Airshow earlier this year it won Best Amateur-Built Aircraft. Avalon is the biggest airshow in the southern hemisphere and the competition for this award was keen, a LOT of amateur-built aircraft were there vying for this award.
As a result of the awards it has won and the publicity attached thereto, the plane is becoming one of the best known Experimental aircraft in Australia, ever! Of course the eye-catching paint job is a big part of the appeal. No-one can forget it.
When we first discussed the paint job I told you that I was building a very fussy show plane. I had 6500 hours over 11 years invested in the build and I was looking for a paint job that would be commensurate with the quality of the construction.
Actually I had you earmarked for the paint job years before the plane was due to be painted. I was convinced years earlier that you had both the technical expertise and the artistic creativity to produce a showplane finish to the quality I desired.
In the end we obviously both came to the conclusion that handpainting a fixed wing plane properly to an artistic finish is a very demanding task from a logistical point of view. So many parts to dismantle and reassemble. And all of them so very fragile and easy to damage. The painting process was a very nervous time for me. At various times I was concerned that the sliding canopy could be damaged, or a wing dropped, or small but difficult-to-replace parts lost etc etc.
So I was a bit stressed through the ordeal and I probably passed some of that stress on to you, sorry for that!
But in the end we worked together to produce something that was both beautiful and worthwhile. I see you have the plane on your Fleeting Image website, that’s terrific!
In retrospect I think if I was doing something similar again I’d do it differently. I’d paint the aircraft a single base colour myself and get you to apply some groovy wraps.
I’ve attached a pic of the plane taken earlier this year in Bendigo (where I now live). That’s me in the plane with my daughter Skye and my grandson Arkady.
Anyway, I haven’t forgotten you John. We did something special together. And give my regards to Lucy.


Stuttgart-based German aerospace firm H2FLY has claimed a brand new world file for its four-seater HY4, which grew to become the primary hydrogen-powered passenger plane to succeed in an altitude above 7,000 ft (2,134 m) on April 13. In addition, the HY4 made the primary flight by a hydrogen-powered passenger craft from one main airport to a different, touring 77 miles (124 km) from Stuttgart to Friedrichshafen on April 12.
First taking to the air in 2016, the HY4 with its distinctive twin-fuselage design relies on the Pipistrel Taurus G4 plane. However, the place the G4 is an all-electric plane, the HY4 is a hybrid design powered by a low-temperature hydrogen gas cell system developed by the DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics (DLR) in affiliation with Hydrogenics.
To save weight, the hydrogen is saved below a stress beneath 5,800 psi in two carbon composite tanks, one in every fuselage. These feed into the gas cell, whereas lithium-ion batteries present an influence increase throughout moments of peak demand by the 80-kW electrical motor. The plane has a cruising pace of 90 mph (145 km/h) and a projected vary of as much as 900 miles (1,500 km) below minimal payload and optimum flight circumstances.
“This is a remarkable achievement for H2FLY, as no other hydrogen-powered passenger aircraft has flown between two commercial airports to date,” mentioned Dr. Josef Kallo, co-founder and CEO of H2FLY. “We are also thrilled to have set what we believe to be a new world record by reaching an altitude of over 7,000 feet with our HY4 aircraft. We want to thank our long-time partners Stuttgart Airport, University of Ulm, DLR Stuttgart, Friedrichshafen Airport, and AERO Friedrichshafen, for supporting us in our mission to make sustainable travel a reality.”
Looking to usher in an period of emission-free, sustainable air journey, H2FLY expects to be flying hydrogen-electric plane carrying as much as 40 passengers distances of as much as 1,240 miles (2,000 km) in “just a few years.”

First flights for the UK team last weekend. Unfortunately the wind speed was only 2, or 3M/sec so the competition was cancelled. But as you can see that even in this tiny breath of air, the Redshift still flew very well.
Words from Top UK pilot and Redshift F3f Team member:
"Loving the airframe - design, colours, flight attributes....it represents such a different approach to F3F. Very impressed with the straight line speed, tracking and responsiveness. As we predicted, its caused a bit of a stir within the UK F3F community, and that was in 2.5 - 3m/s wind speed!"
Other UK team members John Philips and Mark Passigham's planes should take to the air this coming weekend - if the weather permits. Last weekend's video can be seen here:
Well, Greg and I managed a good result on Sunday with the Redshifts, there first competitive outing in the UK. Greg was 6th and I was 5th.
Greg was fastest in two rounds and me one out of the nine flown Only a point or two apart, the plane shows a lot of potential and make a fantastic noise when moving at speed. I’m sure Greg is off the same opinion.
I intend to fly the Redshift as my number one plane this year in the UK, as to the European/world cups not so sure it will work in the lighter air we tend to have there, but it will be with me so could happen
Still more to come from this plane, it’s different in looks but I feel the wing is right.
You don’t want to change the look of the plane, just the handling, the main thing is to keep the noise it makes
Hi Konrad, the Redshift uses a new wing design which concentrates on trying to manage the airflow. This means that I wanted to know pretty much whats happening with any of it when its traveling at competition speeds.
A few things came out of the study.
1. There is no substitute for aspect ratio if you want a fast sailplane.
2. The planform makes a lot more difference than people might think.
3. You don't want moving control surfaces close to the wing tips. YES the further out they go, the more effective they become. But the wingtips are where most of our trouble starts on sailplanes, and the more you disturb them, the greater the chance of that trouble occurring. I wanted to keep them clean.
4. I want the vortices concentrated where I know where they are, and where they can hopefully be controlled by the wing shape and the tip profiles. What I don't want is a ragged shedding of the boundary layer here, there, and everywhere - even if it is quieter.
If the planform works - with the wing getting to high speeds, then the vortices will be there at high pressure and they will be noisy.
The Redshift has a strange kind of noise ONLY at high speed and I call it a "Twistle"
The Redshift makes a very special noise - its quite unlike anything you have heard.

The National Transportation Safety Board on Thursday released the preliminary results of its investigation into the mid-air plane crash last month at Watsonville Municipal Airport that killed three people.
While not offering any fresh information, the report does give a detailed look at the crash, which occurred Aug. 18 at about 2:55pm.
According to the report, a Cessna 152 flown by Stuart Camenson was performing touch-and-go landings, and was coming in for another landing when Carl Kruppa, flying a Cessna 340 northeast of the airport, reported that he was 10 miles out and planned to land on runway 20.
About one minute later, Camenson reported that he was on the crosswind leg, then shortly after reported that he was on the downwind leg for runway 20.
Kruppa reported that he was three miles out and straight-in for runway 20, and soon radioed that he was one mile out and straight in for the runway. He also said he was looking for air traffic.
Camenson reported that he saw the Cessna 340 behind him, and added that he was going to go around, “because you are coming up on me pretty quick.”
Multiple witnesses then said they saw and heard the two airplanes collide.
A pilot who was flying over the airport at 1,300 feet said he saw the Cessna 340 close on the Cessna 152’s tail.
The Cessna 340 then banked to the right, and its left wing struck the Cessna 152. The pilot then saw both airplanes crash.
Another witness who took a photo of the two airplanes as they approached the airport said that the Cessna 340 appeared to be in a steep right bank, and that the Cessna 152 appeared to be in a slight “nose-low attitude.”
Camenson’s plane crashed on the airport property about 1,200 feet northeast of the approach end of runway 20. The left wing separated from the airplane and came to rest about 500 feet northeast of the main wreckage.
The left horizontal stabilizer and elevator separated and came to rest about 380 feet northeast of the main wreckage.
Two small sections of the Cessna 340’s left tip tank were located near the Cessna 152 wreckage. The Cessna 340 came to rest in a hangar located on the southeast side of the airport. All major pieces of the Cessna 340 were located in the debris area.
Both aircraft were recovered and secured in a storage facility pending further examination.
The crash also killed Kruppa’s wife, Nannette Plett-Kruppa, and a dog that was also aboard their plane.


The management of Dana Air, on Thursday, disclosed that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) suspended its operations in order for the Airline to undergo a full operational audit from midnight of July 20, 2022.
Responding to the suspension of their operations, the management of the Dana Air blamed the recent skyrocketing cost of aviation fuel, also known as Jet A1 at 830/litre, unavailability of forex and inflation, as the reasons behind NCAA’s action.
Recall that the director-general of NCAA, Capt. Musa Nuhu, had on Wednesday night, announced the suspension of Dana Airlines’ Air Transport Licence (ATL) and Air Operator Certificate (AOC) indefinitely, with effect from midnight of Wednesday, July 20, 2022.
The suspension, according to NCAA, was made pursuant to Section 35(2), 3(b) and (4) of the Civil Aviation Act, 2006 and Part 18.104.22.168(a)(1) of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs), 2015.
He said, “The decision is the outcome of a financial and economic health audit carried out on the Airline by the Authority, and the findings of an investigation conducted on the Airline’s flight operations recently, which revealed that Dana Airlines is no longer in a position to meet its financial obligations and to conduct safe flight operations.
“The NCAA acknowledges the negative effect this preemptive decision will have on the Airline’s passengers and the travelling public and seeks their understanding, as the safety of flight operations takes priority over all other considerations.”
Meanwhile, the Airline has also expressed readiness and commitment to the cause of the audit, saying Dana Air is safe, efficient and reliable.
The statement reads, “our operations have been suspended as advised by the NCAA in order to undergo a full operational audit with effect from midnight 20th July, 2022. Operational audits are regulatory and airlines are obligated to suspend their operations when the NCAA calls for it and we understand the impact this suspension will have on our partners, staff, passengers and the general public but we are very confident that we would come out stronger as we have done in the past.

“We wish to assure the NCAA that we are fully ready and committed to cooperating with them in the course of this audit and to also reassure our customers and partners that we are safe, efficient and reliable.”
“The recent skyrocketing cost of Jet A1 at 830/litre, unavailability of forex, inflation are also contributory factors to this decision regrettably.
“We crave the understanding and patience of our customers, travel and business partners and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience our short absence from the market might cause.
“Our customer service team will continue to operate 24/7 to assist affected customers with necessary information on refunds and our offices will be open to all our existing partners.”

CBS News Space shows launch windows for STS-135, from the July 8th projected date all the way until July 28th. I really hope it isn’t delayed.
As with all the Tweetupers, I’m trying to figure out how long I could wait. Saturday the 9th? Sure. Monday the 11th? I don’t know. With uncertainty rising with each passing day.
The launch window starts at 11:26AM on July 8th, for 10 minutes. On the other hand, if it’s delayed as far as, say, July 23rd, the launch window is around 5:30AM. It will be a (dum dum DUM!) Night Launch! Yes, that could be better.


Starliner Launch Brings Learning to Life
This post was written by Elizabeth Jones, a member of the FLVS social media team.
I recently had the opportunity to watch Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner make its debut flight to the International Space Station. This was a great opportunity to see the impacts of career and technical education in action!
As part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, this was the first uncrewed Orbital Flight Test for Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner. The Starliner’s mission was to dock with the International Space Station and test various systems – bringing it one step closer to becoming an astronaut spacecraft. The Starliner launched atop the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral on Friday, Dec. 20 at 6:36 AM EST.
Prior to launch, I had the opportunity to tour the Kennedy Space Center facilities to learn more about Boeing’s Starliner. On my tour, I visited areas used to prepare vehicles for their trip to space, including the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), Boeing’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF), and the gate of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 41.
When we got to the Launch Complex, we were met by NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine who shared his excitement for the upcoming launch:
“We’re on the cusp of launching American astronauts on American rockets from American soil. One of those rockets, the Atlas V, is behind us with the Starliner on top…this is the beginning of this new era and tomorrow’s flight is really the first end-to-end test of the Starliner so we can learn what we need to learn, make adjustments, and then get ready to launch our astronauts again for the first time since 2011, the retirement of the Space Shuttle. So, this is a big deal for us. It’s a big deal for the United States of America and, in fact, for the world.”
Although the Starliner didn’t carry humans during this trip, it had its first passenger, Rosie, an anthropometric test device present to collect data from the commander’s seat! The data gives NASA and Boeing more insight on what an astronaut will experience.
“We’re going to learn things on this uncrewed test flight that will allow us to make them better,” said former astronaut Bob Cabana.
As the launch ticked closer, the NASA and Boeing teams worked through the night to prepare the Atlas V and Starliner for the early morning flight. The launch was scheduled for 6:36 AM with a window of opportunity of only a few seconds. With a new day just breaking, the Atlas V and Starliner successfully launched! Starliner was scheduled to connect to the International Space Station and return to Earth nine days later.
Unfortunately, because of miscalculations, the Starliner did not reach it’s intended orbit to connect with the International Space Station. The NASA and Boeing teams were able to reroute Starliner safely back to Earth. On Sunday, Dec. 22 the Starliner successfully landed in White Sands, New Mexico, just two days after its initial launch.
“We know that we’ve got a lot of learning in front of us,” said Bridenstine “but we have enough information and data to keep moving forward in a very positive way.”
As this mission proved, there is always something new to learn – even when things don’t go as planned.
As Boeing and NASA prepare Starliner for its next test flight, Bridenstine says that there’s “no shortage of opportunities, from an engineering to a science perspective, maybe even from a human space-life perspective,” encouraging students to pursue STEM programs and careers!
Florida Virtual School continues to expand STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and CTE (career and technical education) course offerings for students in all grade levels. Our newest addition, M/J Coding Fundamentals, teaches middle and junior high students how to code and creates a strong foundation for future opportunities in programming, software development, engineering, and more.
