The Bo 105 is a light twin engine multi purpose utility helicopter built by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) of Stuttgart, Germany. As the first light twin-engine helicopter in commercial service, it gained widespread use over rural areas (police and EMS / medevac) as well as offshore. The four-blade hingeless main rotor with composite blades ensures high maneuverability. All main systems (hydraulics, electric, fuel, lubrication) were designed to be fully redundant. "

Research has proven that we can expose our girls to the opportunities available to them, but unless we can give them real life examples of women who have achieved their dreams, girls have difficulty picturing themselves doing the same.

This year's Awardees were announced in October via the Girls With Wings eZine (signup). The winning submissions were judged on their willingness to be a superlative GWW role model. Janice and Rose showed potential to continue their interaction with the GWW organization, via the website and events, so they assist GWW in encouraging more young girls to have an interest in aviation.

The Aussies score again. Did You Know There's An Entire Type Of Aircraft That Relies On The Ground Effect To Stay Aloft? Take a look...I can see many, many coastal and inland sea applications and ferries. Only 1.5 cents per passenger mile is very cheap and it uses a chevy engine!!!!

BLUE ANGELS vs. BEARCATS Here's a little bit of Naval Aviation history in the making to share as we all celebrate 100 years. Gotta love the sound of the R-2800! The old vs. the new .... what a neat story and so well done... The Blue Angels have always been my all time favorites... These pilots have flying in their blood and it shows here. The 90 year old ex pilot......he's still at it and enjoying every moment even though he no longer flies these planes ... he is flying again thru the others.....and loving every second of it. The Bearcat has a max. speed of 455 mph The F-18 has a max. speed of 1,190 mph The Bearcat has a climb-rate of 6,370 ft/min The F-18 has a climb-rate of 50,000 ft/min The bearcat has a nominal weight of 8m pounds The F-18 has a nominal weight of 23m pounds
