Bob Hoover escaped a WWII German POW camp by stealing a Focke-Wulf 190 and became the airshow pilot Neil Armstrong called the greatest he ever saw.
TaildraggerBob Reeve invented glacier flying in 1932 from necessity - broke and resourceful in Valdez, Alaska - and built an airline that ran for nearly six decades.
TaildraggerBoom Supersonic's Overture airliner and Symphony engine represent the most credible attempt at commercial supersonic travel since Concorde retired in 2003.
VectorCal Rodgers completed the first transcontinental flight in 1911, surviving 84 days, 16 crashes, and near-total aircraft rebuilding to reach the Pacific.
TaildraggerAOPA's profile of pilot and author Caroline Paul reframes the question 'why fly?' as one of aviation's most revealing - and hardest - conversations.
TowerClass Bravo airspace surrounds the nation's busiest airports - learn to read the upside-down wedding cake structure, get a legal VFR transition, and avoid the clearance mistake that trips up good pilots.
PatternHow barnstormer Clyde Pangborn went from inverted flight at county fairs to completing the first nonstop transpacific flight in 1931.
TaildraggerDoc, a 1944 B-29 Superfortress rescued from the Mojave Desert, flew again over Wichita on July 17, 2016, after a decade of volunteer restoration work.
TaildraggerDoorDash's FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate and planned Northern California drone delivery launch signals a meaningful shift in low-altitude airspace that every GA pilot should understand.
TowerFAR 91.119 contains three distinct paragraphs with three different altitude standards - understanding all three is essential for your checkride and every flight.
PatternFAR 91.113 establishes a priority hierarchy based on maneuverability - here's how to apply it correctly in an actual traffic pattern.
PatternJohnson Creek Airport in Idaho's Payette National Forest is a 3,200-foot sloped canyon strip at 5,000 feet MSL - and a rite of passage that changes how pilots think about flying.
RampOn May 16–17, 1943, nineteen Lancaster crews flew at sixty feet over black water to destroy the Ruhr dams - a story of precision engineering and extraordinary cost.
TaildraggerStratolaunch is adding a Boeing 777 to its carrier fleet, expanding hypersonic test capacity by 35% as U.S. defense programs compete for flight-test infrastructure.
TowerTelluride Regional Airport sits at 9,078 feet MSL - the highest commercial-service airport in North America - and demands serious preparation from every pilot who flies there.
RampThe Boeing X-37B has logged over 2,200 days in orbit across seven classified missions, landing itself on a runway - and its guidance systems foreshadow where civil aviation autopilots are headed.
VectorConvective SIGMETs are issued at :55 past every hour - understand what they mean, how to read them, and why the 20nm rule applies to every VFR flight.
PatternMaster the five-step enroute divert process the Private Pilot ACS actually tests, including mental math techniques and fuel planning rules that go beyond legal minimums.
PatternThe FAA has certified Garmin Autoland on the Epic E1000 AX, making it the fourth turboprop to carry autonomous landing capability that can fly and land the aircraft without any human input.
TowerThe FAA's LADD program lets private aircraft disappear from public tracking apps while still broadcasting ADS-B - and the safety research tradeoff is rarely discussed.
