Fun Place to Fly Update - Honoluana Island Grill Tiki Bar, Venice, FL
"Just popped down to Venice Beach this afternoon for an early dinner at Honoluana. Service was great, they went out of their way to accommodate my pickiness. Atmosphere was pleasant and interesting, and they were even nice enough to come out to the flight-line with me to snap of shot of me with my father to remember the trip by. I would recommend this place, not GREAT, but worth the trip." - Submitted by Hunter. Got Comments? - Got Photos?

Video: Icon A5 - The Cutting Edge of Light Sport Aircraft
Imagine driving a Ferrari with fold-out wings. But it's not a fantasy -- it's a reality. A California company has a new light sport aircraft that combines the look and feel of a sports car with a personal aircraft. And its betting that it will catch on in a big way. Icon Aircraft is the builder of the Icon A5, a machine that combines the elegance of flight with a design that borrows from the look of a sports car. Heres an inside look at Icon, and the making of the Icon A5.

Life on the Road as a Pilot: Sharing the dream of flight
Sharing the dream of flight with the next generation By Monika Petrillo. When I was 24, I decided to get a pilot's license. Inspired by that, my father followed suit a year later, getting his license at age 58. Together, we went on to fly a single-engine plane around the continent of Australia, a journey I documented with my film "FLYABOUT" which has been showing at AirVenture in Oshkosh for the past two years.
AirVenture 2010 - DC-2 to Join Oshkosh DC-3 Celebration
A rare Douglas DC-2, the predecessor to the DC-3, will join the July 26 mass arrival of 40 airplanes at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2010. The aircraft, owned by the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Wash., will lead the group flight of DC-3s just before the opening day air show to usher in the DC-3's 75th anniversary celebration. Aviation luminary Clay Lacy, EAA Lifetime Member 285436, who was a driving force behind the airplane's restoration, will pilot the DC-2 from its current home at Van Nuys Airport, California, to the group departure airport at Sterling/Rock Falls, Illinois (KSQI), then on to Oshkosh.

Fun Place to Fly Update - BB Sport Aviation, Cambridge, MD
"Stopped in one day to look at Teddy's/BB Sport Aviations aircraft. After looking at three different models my wife said she was hungry and wanted to eat. Teddy offered to drive us to a local restaurant which ended up having the best Maryland Crabcakes I ever tasted. Teddy even stopped by a gas station on the way back to the airport so I could purchase some water for the flight home. Can't say enough about what a gracious host Teddy was, and how helpful everybody at the hanger was to my wife and I." - Submitted by REV. Got Comments? - Got Photos?
