Aviation\/Aviators in the news<\/strong>: Earlier this month there was a midair collision in Denver. One plane landed safely and the Cirrus pulled the chute and landed in a field. Click here for a YouTube video<\/a> with the actual ATC audio. From listening to the ATC tape, it sounds like the Cirrus overshot his turn to final and hit the Metroliner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 23rd, we celebrated Otto Lilienthal’s 173rd birthday. Lilienthal’s research was well known to the Wright brothers<\/a>, and they credited him as a major inspiration for their decision to pursue manned flight. However, they abandoned his aeronautical data after two seasons of gliding and began using their own wind tunnel data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all the men who attacked the flying problem in the 19th century, Otto Lilienthal was easily the most important. … It is true that attempts at gliding had been made hundreds of years before him, and that in the nineteenth century, Cayley<\/a>, Spencer, Wenham, Mouillard, and many others were reported to have made feeble attempts to glide, but their failures were so complete that nothing of value resulted.\u2014\u2009Wilbur Wright<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aviation section of the Flymall<\/a> is full of aviation news, training info, and much more for the aviator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A storm to remember. The Great Blizzard of 1899<\/a>. This storm affected most of the United States. Tampa Florida even had snow flurries during this storm. Some areas of the country had over 30 inches of snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nautical Notes<\/strong>: This month we’re featuring the “Narrowboat<\/a>“. The Narrowboat is a type of canal boat used in the narrow locks of the United Kingdom. They were very important during their Industrial Revolution. Now these are offered as a vacation cruise and they are very popular as a live aboard houseboat. One of the three wheelers (1912 AC Delivery Trike<\/a>) in our collection<\/a> was built in Thames Ditton<\/a> which is on the River Thames<\/a>. It is likely that the early AC factory had supplies delivered by a Narrowboat. Click on the image for a larger view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This segment goes along with our Weather In The News this month. The SS John V Moran<\/a> was lost during the 1899 storm on Lake Michigan. John V. Moran<\/em> left Milwaukee for Muskegon, on February 9, 1899, at 1:00 p.m., loaded with barrels of flour and other cargo. At around midnight, while travelling through an ice field, a piece of ice punctured her hull, causing a serious leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animals in the headlines<\/strong>: a giant female tortoise found in the Galapagos Islands was of a species last reported 112 years ago. The tortoise was discovered on Fernandina Island during a 2019 expedition. the Fernandina Giant Tortoise, or the species Chelonoidis phantasticus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
