Capturing Flybys in Microsoft Flight Simulator with the Drone Camera
I’ve been playing the latest edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator for about 3 years now when it took off in 2020.

Capcom Took Me Down a Rabbit Hole of Aviation in Video Games – It Includes the Blue Angels!
Did you know that Fat Albert, the C-130 Hercules transport plane of the Blue Angels, was in an arcade shoot‘em up video game in 1990? I sure didn’t know that until now!

Streaming EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023
This year happens to be the first time I’ve missed an AirVenture in over 10 years.

Deep Roots at the EAA Seaplane Base
By Kate Stevens For me a trip to EAA AirVenture isn’t complete without a visit to the serene EAA Seaplane Base.
