flying

You've seen the movies where both pilots of a jet become incapacitated and it falls to a hapless passenger to land a huge airliner (i/e: Airport 1975, Airplane, Executive Decision), trying to save the day.

Hundreds and probably thousands of pilots from the CNY area have Doc Brewer to thank for passing them through their medical exams in order to keep flying, but sadly on Thursday night, Doc's own wings were folded.

Did you hear about that balloon that landed in someone's back yard on Oneida St? The owners weren't even home, but naturally a crowd drew anyway including myself and my family. I tracked down the pilot, Dwight Cramer of Airborne Adventures and got him in studio

So, my family and I are enjoying some goodies at the Ice Cream Factory when we notice a hot air balloon way up in the humid sky and as we're watching, we realize it's getting closer and closer

Bet you haven't seen Utica like THIS before! Get a load of these shots of your hometown unlike any that even an airplane or helicopter could capture. They weren't taken by a pro photographer either, just a normal guy using some pretty nifty tech!

In the 6 years that Obama has been in office, I've never really paid attention to his travels until now, and not because he's visiting the nearby Cooperstown Baseball HOF, but rather because his visit changed my normal flying routine.

Just like when you take your boat out of the water before winter to avoid ice damage, seaplanes need the same treatment too.

Man has been trying to take to the skies like birds since the dawn of time, and the best we can do now is to climb into flying machines or jump off of high objects (sometimes those same machines) to feel the rush.

There are more than just other airplanes that pilots have to look out for in the skies, yes we share the airspace with other far more unpredictable and wreckless potential foes. The birds.

While jetpacks have been a staple of Sci-fi since Science Fiction was first created one man has made it his life's goal to make flying like a superhero a reality.

Germany wanted to test their engineering skills and decided to build (and fly) the world's first electric multicopter VTOL.

Besides music, there has always been another love in my life... Aviation! (I'm talking about hobbies, Baby ;)) I got bitten by the bug way back when I was in high school and we went on a field trip to the airport. I've always loved watching things fly in the sky and was fascinated by the allure and prestige of it all but had never been in an airplane before. Till that day.
