Greg Koontz has been named the recipient of this year’s Bill Barber Award for Showmanship, according to World Airshow News, and will be presented with the award in front of his peers at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh on Tuesday, July 29, at Theater in the Woods.
The European Space Agency’s (ESA) spaceplane will showcase re-entry technologies after its unconventional launch from Kourou in French Guiana on a Vega rocket this November. Instead of heading north into a polar orbit, as on previous flights, Vega will head eastwards and release the spaceplane into a suborbital path reaching all the way to the Pacific Ocean. The great majority of model aircraft flyers belong to an organization known as the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). This organization has supported responsible RC flyers for years in operating their aircraft sensibly. However, outside this organization are rogues that are causing trouble for responsible flyers.
