This open letter (not from a flight attendant, but from the point of view of a flight attendant) popped up on my Facebook news feed this morning, and I thought that it was interesting and timely enough to share with you.
'I Will Always Love You' isn't an easy song to sing. That's why the late Whitney Houston's flawless take on the Dolly Parton-penned tune became one of the biggest hits in music history. But a woman on an American Airlines flight between Los Angeles and New York's version of the song wasn't as well received.
In this incredible video, a soldier's parachute accidentally deploys inside the plane and in the blink of an eye, he was gone. And the whole thing was Caught On Video!
A Delta jet on its way to Atlanta from Houston ended up in the grass this morning after going off the tarmac at Houston Hobby Airport this morning. No one was hurt and the seventy passengers were taken back to the terminal for re-booking...
We all gripe about having to take our shoes off when we go through airport security, but according to a list of items confiscated this year by the TSA, footwear may be the least of its concerns.
There's just something about old aircraft that words can not express. (See what I mean? Even that line sounded stupid).
Randall Mann, local businessman, pilot, photographer and all-around good-guy posted this video on his Facebook page. The high-definition video of the beautiful American vistas, along with the nostalgia of these historic aircraft, made for a great 2:45 escape from reality...

It’s not that uncommon to see children flying by themselves. But an 11-year-old English boy took that concept to a whole new level this week.
Today, July 2, marks the 75th anniversary of when legendary pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while trying to fly around the world. Now, new light may be shed on the mystery that’s always surrounded the incident.
From KPEL 96.5 NewsTalk: A small single engine plane crashed near Highway 90 and Dubois Road this morning. The pilot was transported to the hospital, and was conscious when they transported him. Dubois Road was shut down for a short period of time...
Congratulations to Ridge Elementary's Caroline Daigle, 1st place winner of the Age 10-11 category in the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) 2012 Louisiana Aviation Art Contest.
It’s one thing to be cool under pressure. It’s quite another to be an inexperienced pilot landing a plane while your husband is in critical condition beside you.
The Sertoma Cajun Air Festival concluded today with another stellar performance by the Thunderbirds, the United States Air Force Demonstration Squadron.
The last time the Sertoma Club sponsored the air show in Lafayette, I had the honor of flying with the United States Air Force Thunderbirds, in an F-16 Falcon.
The Sertoma Cajun Air Festival will feature the USAF Thunderbirds this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, at Lafayette Regional Airport.
Gates will be open from 8AM - 5PM on both Saturday & Sunday. Aircraft displays and interactive activities will be accessible during these times.
If you’re a frequent flyer, you’ve probably zoned out during quite a few airplane safety demonstrations. Pegasus, a Turkish airline, brilliantly eschewed the usual bored flight attendants for some seriously adorable kids. The tots, dressed as attendants, passengers and even an aviator-clad pilot, walk us through proper seatbelt buckling and how to operate an oxygen mask with panache.
