Got my car home, and was so caught up in checking the outside - missed a deep scratch across the COMAND unit. Is this addressable, or can you get new fascia plates? Thanks Brian

In Norway stuck on plane Friday the 13th Amsterdam is busy they say What to do mmmmmm

I know there are a few aviation enthusiasts here so thought it worth mentioning that Channel 4 are re-running the program about the De Havilland Mosquito that was first shown last night on the 47 network tonight at 8pm. As well as the history element it includes some good contemporary colour...

Strangely fascinating website depicting all the aircraft in flight at any one time, copied from QI on Twitter. Planefinder.net

Channel 4 _ About to crash an airliner into Mexican desert... Should be interesting.

There is the mile-high club… and then there’s the club of those few that have managed to make more take-offs in an aircraft than landings… The premise is simple, you start with a perfectly good aircraft, without any known faults. You reach an altitude of several thousand meters/feet; open the...

3 Brits have sent a paper plane into "space" [well almost] and sent back pictures to prove it. Richard Branson eat your heart out. :p British team send paper plane to the edge of space before it flies back to Earth | Mail Online

Hello members, I'm most likely flying from Manchester to Inverness on 11th or 12th October. I'll be visiting Cradlehall Business Park and I'll be there just for the day (I hope). I need to take some tools with me which will consist of: 2no 10.8v Battery Operated Cordless Drills 1no Tin...

I've just seen this on the BBC : BBC News - The Boneyard: world's 'biggest' plane cemetery up close "Spread across the huge 2,600 acre site, equivalent in size to 1,430 football pitches, is a collection of over 4,000 retired aircraft including nearly every plane the US armed forces have flown...

For various reasons (moving house twice, getting married, baby, etc. :D) I've not built a new r/c plane for over 3 years. Test flew this one last night on a small patch of grass next to my back garden! It's a 'profile scale' Yak 54 designed for indoor 3D aerobatics (where most of the...

Well after 33 years of flying r/c, what would have been science fiction only a few years ago just came true - I've been flying a plane in my living room (which is a very average size ... we don't live in a barn conversion or anything!). Take off from the floor or sofa, cruise around, and land...

I don't think I would be as calm as these passengers here but may be the one ordering a very large malt from the cabin crew... Looks like the outer skin has come off just where the fuselage and wing join together.

I sometimes pop onto airliners.net to look at the latest and greatest of those things that manage to take lots of families thousands of miles in very short order for their hols. I am still amazed how they can get off the ground, physics in action. I digress though, here are a couple of photo's...
