I hadn't noticed, but Sunday was the eightieth anniversary of Lindbergh's historic flight, and yesterday the anniversary of his landing in Paris, over twenty-four hours later. But Louise Riofrio remembered, and has a post on the past and future of airliners.

As a kid I always liked the part of the Jimmy Steward movie when he starts thinking about the engine firings so many times a minute. I think that sparked my fascination with the IC engine.
