Pretty cool idea, not sure how many people you'll find to pay $300-$400 for hood/foggles though... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/178716039/icarus-a-pilot-training-device-to-reduce-weather-a?ref=category_newest

Because how can you go wrong with Blue Angels cockpit video in 360? https://youtu.be/H6SsB3JYqQg

One of these guys in the jet packs looks a lot more comfortable with what he's doing than the other. Wonder if there was any purpose to this other than a promo for Emirates. Seems kind of expensive just for that. https://youtu.be/_VPvKl6ezyc

Pretty neat website. You can filter for specific airports or airlines. The visualization of controlled airspace is well done imo. http://3d.luciad.com/

You see Navy squadrons posting videos pretty regularly, but I don't remember seeing many Air Force videos so here you go. The F-15 was always my favorite military jet growing up. Helped that it was built by a hometown company I guess. Hope they find some way to keep the production line going...

Thought this was a neat video, covers all (or at least most) of the combat jets the U.S. Navy has had in service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTI_Abc6Z9g&feature=youtu.be&list=PL15KbAxfKZE2DnUA9RNWn4IJQGR6VsBkF

This is awesome. Only thing better would be to have the radio audio included, curious as to how much coordination something like this requires. https://youtu.be/-RFjROsovWs

Saw this article/video this morning. Basically NASA is dropping 172's from ~100 ft onto various surfaces to test ELT performance and to try and come up with new standards to make them more reliable. Article Earlier article This one goes into more detail about what NASA is doing and why...

For small aircraft. This was designed for aircraft up to 1,650 lbs, but can't imagine it would be a stretch to extend it to heavier aircraft. Won't get you to your destination but might get you to a safe place to land...

If I only had one opportunity to go skydiving, this is what I would want to happen... http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/i-went-skydiving-with-an-f-16-1698482306

Well that's an interesting looking wing, can't imagine it glides very well. http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/17/nasa-testing-leaptech-wing/

This could make for some pretty cool flying YouTube videos. http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/13/youtube-360-degree-videos/

Who wants to get their MEL in this thing? Think it might cover a few other ratings as well... https://www.youtube.com/embed/YgJFKUiuDBE?wmode=transparent&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=1 Wingspan comparison with other aircraft. And the original article I saw it in...

Interesting video, some cool footage. Illustrates how drastically things have changed. Over 100,000 private flights out of Lambert in 1960. According to one source (FlightIntel app on Android) Lambert had ~130,000 operations total last year. McDonnell Douglas replaced with Boeing, no more TWA...

https://www.youtube.com/embed/6s-fWpA0Fxo?wmode=transparent&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=1 Some awesome planes in this video. One of my favorite NASA planes, the X-29 is in here. I had no idea NASA flew an SR-71 for a while. And what the heck is the YC-14 at about 2:43?

Didn't see a thread on this yet. Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and an HBO miniseries on the Eight Air Force during WWII? Yes please! http://www.flyingmag.com/pilots-places/pilots-adventures-more/masters-air-tribute-mighty-eighth

Biting off more than he can chew you think? Seems very ambitious, hope he can make it though. http://www.flyingmag.com/news/environmentally-friendly-hybrid-six-seater-works

I knew a lot of these jobs didn't pay that well, but didn't realize it was this bad. Wheelchair assistance workers in at least some airports are paid tip wages, women who clean planes with harsh chemicals are expected to work right up until they go into labor... something seems wrong about...

I was looking over the Wikipedia page for the AA5 line and noticed an interesting thing in the 'Variants' section. It lists an AA5C with 1 prototype produced, but it's not mentioned anywhere in the article. Did a couple of quick Google searches but couldn't find anything on it. What was this...

http://gizmodo.com/nasa-finally-tests-its-shape-shifting-airplane-wings-1656775362 Pretty cool technology. Not sure if it would ever be practical for use in a GA aircraft, but still neat.
