B-29 and Bell X-1 Reenactment

Radio controlled model airplane enthusiasts have been pushing the envelope for years, making their models larger, more complex and more realistic. Additionally, it takes great skill to "fly" these models. This video shows model airplanes reenacting the flight of the Bell X-1. Chuck Yeager "broke the sound barrier" in this aircraft. You may remember that X-series aircraft were launched from the wings of B-29s. If you love aviation, this video is a must see! Click the link, below.

Humor: Patton Mideast Solution

A recent comedy video appeared on MSNBC which featured the late General George S. Patton describing his solution to the war in Iraq and problems in the Middle East. I found this video very humorous. I hope you do, too. Click on the link, below, or on the right.
