This is history right here! An interview I did many years ago with Paul Tibbets, at my Weeks Air Museum in Miami, Florida. Of course, Paul was the pilot of the Enola Gay B-29 Superfortress on it's secret mission during World War II. What you might not know is that he was heavily involved in the development of the B-29, and the training of the first bomber group. Check out the interview and get the scoop directly from General Tibbets.

Building an experimental aircraft out of wood can be a wonderful, project. The key to building a safe, strong airplane is to understand the types of wood that need to be selected as well as what glues are appropriate for assembly. This video introduces the builder to the manner in which wood is evaluated and rated for aircraft use as well as the gluing technique that is required. While many homebuilt aircraft are made primarily of metal and require lots of specialized tools, aircraft made from wood require a much simpler inventory of tools that many of us already possess. You can build an aircraft in your workshop or garage.

I'm very optimistic about aviation and the career potential for anyone wanting a job in aviation. Here's my take on this amazing industry.
"The Ponderosa Lodge and Golf has a private airstrip that is available to the public by reservation. Land on a newly resurfaced asphalt runway that is 2,200 feet long. Park your plane on the grass at the end of the runway and a golf cart will be waiting for you there to get you around. Activities include a 9 hole executive golf course, fishing, hiking, kayaking, a pavilion and cabins for rent. It is located on 235 acres on the top of a mountain in central PA. Look us up at www.ponderosalodgeandgolf.com." - Submitted by Kenneth L. Hurst.
