Heading to the Upper Peninsula for today's postcard! 🌲✈️
This postcard captures the quiet atmosphere of the Iron Mountain airport. I love the functional beauty of these twin arched hangars and the scattered light aircraft waiting on the grass. It’s a wonderful look at how aviation connected even the more remote parts of Michigan during the mid-20th century.

Grayling Michigan Airport Postcard.
This real photo postcard captures a "MICH NG" (Michigan National Guard) encampment at the Grayling airport. Between the rows of aircraft, the field tents, and that skeleton observation tower, you can really feel the scale of the operations hosted here.

Great news for the Ferrymead Aeronautical Society in Christchurch NZ. In a new heritage collaboration, the Air Force Museum of NZ has agreed to open up its stores of Mosquito parts to the restoration team at Ferrymead, providing a treasure trove of much needed spares for the project which restorer Dag Guest described as a 'gamechanger'.

The X-29, the most statically unstable aircraft ever built, was a U.S. forward-swept-wing technology demonstrator. It flew in 1984, pioneering advanced aeroelastic and flight control systems. Two prototypes were built for NASA/USAF/DARPA testing and are now on display.

Excellent diorama at Flugwerft Schleissheim Munich showing Bavarian Flying Corps Unit 304b. This was deployed (with Prussian units) to then-Palestine in 1917/18 so would have operated over the ANZAC Mounted Division and the Australian Mounted Division as part of The Desert Mounted Corps.
