How It Flies - An Open Community Site About Airplanes and Aviation
How It Flies is a wiki style web site where site readers and visitors can read articles all related to aircraft and aviation. People who read and visit the site have the opportunity to write their own articles live on the site or even revise and edit existing ones that need some improvements.
From the author, “At How It Flies any user can add or edit information on any aircraft. Specs, opinions, photos, videos- anything relevant to an airplane belongs here. The goal is to give pilots not only the numbers, but information from other pilots on what it’s like to actually fly a particular aircraft. The site is new and developing, please let us know of any errors or usability issues through the Comments link above.” You can visit How It Flies at www.howitflies.com.
Keith West is the individual who contacted The Airplane Blog about this site and further explains, “The site is a kind of Wikipedia for aircraft- articles that anyone can edit or comment on featuring facts, opinions, photos and videos of airplanes. Whether someone is gathering information on a plane they would like to fly or buy, or just wants to think about flying on a rainy day, it will be a fun resource.” Sounds like a lot of fun and should be worth checking out.

Get The Red Bull Air Racing Player For Your Blog
The Red Bull Air Race embed player features the most recent 20 videos in just one player! There are two different player designs.
The ‘Red Bull Air Race’ was conceived in the Red Bull sports think-tank and came from an idea to merge flying with the most exciting elements of motor racing. The aim was to develop a brand new aviation race that would challenge the ability of the world’s best pilots, creating a race in the sky that was not simply about speed, but also precision and skill. The answer was to build a specially designed obstacle course which the pilots would navigate at high speeds.
