Recently, another plane owned by Elvis Presley sold at auction. Continue reading Plane Owned By Elvis Presley Auctioned Off For Almost $500K

Last week I wrote a post which asked a very good question related to flying. It was something that I never really thought about before. The post was written due to an article that I came across from Travel + Leisure.
The post was about: Ever Wonder Why Airplanes Dim Lights On Takeoff?
I thought the answer given in the T+L article made a lot of sense. After seeing a tweet (from a flight attendant) that disagreed with the article, I started to think a bit more about the topic. Continue reading Update: Why Do Airplanes Dim Lights?
I came across a short article from Travel + Leisure answering a question related to flying that I’ve never really given much thought to before.
On pretty much every flight, the captain dims the cabin light and we are asked to raise our window shades during takeoff and landing. I can’t say that I’ve ever pondered the reason for doing so, it’s always just been something that happens. Continue reading Ever Wonder Why Airplanes Dim Lights On Takeoff?
Over the past couple of years we’ve had a chance to visit a bunch of museums dedicated to aviation and flight.
Aviation museums always seem to feel quite unique compared to your typical museum. They can also be a lot of fun for everyone. The best part is that many of them are interactive and you can even get the chance to go on some of the planes on display.
Here are the aviation museums that we’ve visited over the past couple of years:
Last year I wrote about a Yahoo News article that I came across which caught my attention. The article was about a man who turned an old airplane into a home. This sounds like the dream home for aviation buffs out there but I’m not too sure that this would be my idea of a great place to live.
Recently I came across another article, this time from CNN about creative ways to recycle an airplane. Again the man, Bruce Campbell was mentioned along with a few others that have turned airplanes into homes.

Since Lucas started traveling at such a young age (his first flight was at less than 3 months old), I thought we needed to start a little toy airplane collection for him.
.
So far he has four airplanes with each being a bit different than the next one.
.
Here they are:
 |
| The South Dakota Plane |
 |
| Green Toys |
is a great travel toy since it is small, soft and light weight. |
| Weebles Toys |
, we had to get it. I remember having Weebles as a kid so I was happy to see that they were still being made.So that’s all of Luca’s fleet for now. Over time I’m sure that he will pick up some more airplanes along the way!

If you have any fun airplane toys that you’d like to recommend, please let us know.
