Aviation

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!

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

When I was a kid, I used to look up and wonder what that cloudy trail was that followed airplanes tracking high up in the sky. Well now I know as I hang out there regularly, but there is a conspiracy theory that's been picking up some major speed lately

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.

This is supposed to be a skating video (and it is) of Bob Burnquist playing around at his own personal backyard skatepark, 'Dreamland'. Even despite his innovative 'hip' ramp that he built to fly-skate over a chasm, I found myself more amazed by the way his helicopter pilot pal whipped his chopper around

You may've heard recently that Amazon is developing drone delivery service, so that when you order something, an octocopter drone will be dispatched promptly to your location (within a reasonable distance of a warehouse) and dropped off.

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.

Whether this is a clever marketing campaign or Westjet truly cares about it's customers is irrelevant as this 'Christmas Miracle' as they call it is extremely moving.

Most of us buy a tree off of the shelf or go out and cut one down, but this guy does it in style! His name is Dan Clark and he uses his Jetranger helicopter to harvest trees, throwing them with precision and speed into waiting trucks.

As a pilot myself, I'm probably not helping my cause at all by sharing horrific and tragic airplane crash videos like I have in the past, but this one is different.
