It's great to see another CAC Boomerang return to the sky with tests flights of A46-54 (VH-MHB) earlier this year.
Some great footage of this aircraft here.

Finished my day of #Xplane #flightsim flying at Madera Municipal Airport. This is where I soloed, so it holds a special place in my logbook.
Interesting find on the ramp. You just don't see a Cessna T-41 Mescalero every day.
"The Cessna T-41 Mescalero is a military version of the popular Cessna 172, operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) and Army, as well as the armed forces of various other countries as a pilot-training aircraft."

This hour's random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is this great shot (not mine) of the B-25 bomber "Betty's Dream" parting the hair of beachgoers at Maho Beach on the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten.
If you do not know about Maho Beach, it is one tiny two-lane road away from the runway end at the island's major airport. Everything from bizjets to 747s come in VERY low over the beach. And when they take off, the jet blasts literally blows people into the water.

AINOnline.com has a great article in their September print issue on the resurrection and restoration of "Doc," the B-29 we all know and love. Certainly a few things in this one I did not know...worth your time.
Here's a look at the article (not behind a paywall as far as I can tell).

This WWII vintage Link trainer, is the only Warbird I can honestly claim to have flown. My high-school had one almost exactly like this, lovingly restored and fully operational. It's a full motion flying simulator (instruments only, thus the blacked out canopy), and effectively driven by an analog computer. An amazing piece of technology.

I just backed Lumberjills, a larp about the Women's Timber Corps, their joy, competence and friendships. It describes itself as "Feel-Great Play", and I'm here for that.

A Douglas TBD Devastator torpedo bomber dropping a Mk 13 torpedo. These aircraft featured cutting edge technology when they began service in 1937 on US Navy carriers.
Aircraft tech advanced so fast they were obsolete within four years. Their slaughter at Midway retired them. #WW2 #history #aviation #warbirds

This is "Show Me", The Commemorative Airforce Missouri Wing's B-25 Mitchell bomber. It's a gorgeous photo, showing her under tow by an orange-red tractor, which plays off the orange-red engine nacelles.
I can't find any source for this photo, which I saved to my photos in November 2015. If anyone knows who should have credit for this, please let me know? LOVE IT!

My 15YO granddaughter just texted and asked me to send her a pic of “my favorite airplane.” I wanted to send her 34,000 pics of all of them, but in the interest of SMS overcharges, narrowed it down to this one.
I flew with the #Duggy crew into Rock Falls, IL for the “Last Time” DC-3/C-47 reunion, and then was on the flight deck as they flew the Warbird Island arrival to RWY 27 into Oshkosh. We waved at the #avgeeks on the Ardy and Ed’s patio as we slid overhead.

This hour’s random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is this incredible Scott Slocum shot of Lopes Hope 3rd P-51C.
This is about as good as A2A #photography gets - in your face compo with long lens, perfect shutter speed to get nice prop blur, and focus as tight as it can get. Slocum is among a small group of A2A shooters who can nail this shot. Three that come to mind are Jessica Ambats, Jim Koepnick and Paul Bowen.
