I know some folks here follow P n P. I saw this article on its founder. I have no connection to Guideposts magazine; just got there through a CNN link. http://www.guideposts.org/slideshow/piloting-pups-new-homes

For science geeks this is really cool news: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/11/18/switzerland.cern.antimatter/index.html?hpt=Sbin A magnetic bottle filled with anti-matter hurled at an enemy. It touches the enemy vessel and spills its contents. In a nanosecond matter and anti-matter...

This sucks. :sad: Air Force jet crashes in California Posted: 02:42 PM ET WASHINGTON (CNN) — An Air Force F-22 crashed Wednesday near Edwards Air Force Base in California, Air Force officials said. The single-seat fighter crashed about 10:30 a.m. (1:30 p.m. ET) for unknown reasons, the...

I know we're an aviation board but, sailboats fly wings too! I figure a couple folks here can appreciate sailbots. My sailing club has an annual one design regatta. It is all for fun with about half the crews being inexperienced members. We race four Hunter 36's in full cruising dress. This...

Winged luxury submarines 'fly' underwater http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/03/06/eod.luxury.submarines/index.html I've seen this before but it now seems to be in actual commercial production. I think having one would be cool. I think the school concept is pretty smart from a liability and delay...

Now that it's official, can we add "Obama" to the spell-checker? After all, it includes Tweedledee and Tweedledum. :D:D:D

I haven't seen this here, apologies if it's already been posted. This RC pilot is very skilled. Thrust to weight ratio definitely not to scale.

When I finally heard my AME say those words I hadn't expected it to feel so...harsh. I has been a challenging year for my family health-wise. Not to mention the strain as our eldest and his wife prepared for, and took off to, S. Korea for a year. After my mom's quadruple by-pass this March I...

Well, tomorrow I turn in my gift certificate at Warbird Adventures, Kissimmee airport. It will be my first tail wheel, first round cowl, and first upside down flight. Yeah, I'm a little scared. Intellectually, I accept it is just another plane, flown within its performance envelope. It's...

Plane down near Sanford http://www.wesh.com/news/13652167/detail.html This is near my home field. Sounds terrible, usually one does not expect so much damage from a small plane crash. Pray for the injured, so far there are no deaths.

So just minutes ago I'm headed down the steps to boat when I hear a high performance single engine piston. I look up to see a former EAA grand champion Harmon Rocket overfly the tower at Albert Whited to perform a right hand spiraling short approach. Correct me if its not a rocket but I'm sure...

Help me out, I'm not a shooter. Isn't intact ammo worth more than pieces parts? Couldn't this guy get more money for a box of ammo than for a box of empty casings? http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/05/15/whacking.bullets.ap/index.html

If, as the media insinuates, it was on purpose, we sure don't need stuff like this happening. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/05/indiana.crash.ap/index.html However, if it turns out to be accidental (or at least stupid) maybe a few more folks will realize how little damage light GA planes are...

I don't know if these have been here yet but, Here goes!! CONSTRUCTION AND HOME WORKSHOP TOOL DEFINITIONS DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat Metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and Flings your beer across the room...

From the "They said it couldn't be done" archives. http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/10/04/teleportation.reut/index.html Ok maybe we won't be beaming down to planets just yet, but it's neat stuff anyway.
