Aviation

Move over Harry Potter and your Quidditch buddies. Otto Dieffenbach just brought fantasy to reality with the creation of his latest versions of the Witch and Wizard Broom Flyers!

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.

Oh our truck's on fire? What do you mean it'll take firefighters forever to get here? Well let's call in the air support then! This accident happened out in the middle of the Canadian wilderness so emergency crews were too far out which meant that the resulting flames had to be put out in style...

A guy named Antony L in New Zealand decided to take his buddy 'Josh' (who looks mysteriously like Neville Longbottom of Harry Potter fame) up for some maneuvers. As far as we can tell, he didn't puke into his sick-sack

Yeah, you read that headline right and no, it's not a leftover from 1937! Amelia ROSE Earhart, a weather anchor for a TV station in Denver and distant relative of her namesake is going to embark on the same ill-fated flight that claimed her ancestor over 70 years ago.

I dabble in RC helicopters a little and caught this insane demonstration of some serious skills as I was tooling around on the internet today. After picking my jaw up off of the floor I did a little research and found out who the pilot was.

Jack Wiegand and I have similar pasts in aviation: our parents both introduced us to flying airplanes at the age of 13 and once we were bitten by that particular bug, it's been in our blood ever since... Jack, however is doing something that few pilots have ever done: fly around the world solo

Last month we covered a story about how military jet flyovers at stadiums were done away with thanks to the sequester, but now things have gotten worse.

Imagine being out and about and all of a sudden the Man of Steel just goes whipping by overhead... Well, one person happened to catch a video of exactly that happening and here it is for you to see... And unlike the eagle picking up the two-year-old, this one's real.

Maybe you're already gun-shy about flying already, well they're planning on instituting commercial airliners without their drivers by 2015... Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

The first Mohawk Valley Aviation Day at Griffis International Airport had everything from planes and helicopters to race cars.  It was fun for the whole family Saturday.  Check out our photos from the event
