That’s the title of ‘Navman’s’ latest column (click on ‘columns’ along the top of the screen). And yes, we’re continuing WhyFly and celebrate that with this new column! As you may or may not know Nina and yours truly visited the US in October and November and I will be reporting on WhyFly about the aviation part of that visit.
Francois has been visiting Goodwood since 2003, together with his good friend and pilot Didier Keller, and has collected thousands of pictures over time. In the Photo Essay below he aims to provide a taste of the unique atmosphere that is so typical for the autumn flying at Goodwood. Enjoy !
We already knew Why Fly contributor Scott Burris was a good writer. What we didn’t know was just how amazing he could be when he picked up a camera. Here’s Scott’s take on Airventure 2010.

If there are two things pilots like almost as much as flying itself … they are airplane stuff and airplane people. There was a generous supply of both on hand at this year’s Canadian Aviation Expo, and Michelle Goodeve captured the best of it all with her camera.
For Part Three of “Great Canadian Anomalies,” Michelle Goodeve takes you to an event that’s near and dear to her heart. Each fall, Tom Dietrich’s “Tiger Boys” throw an Open House for friends and family at Guelph Air Park in Ontario, Canada. Michelle’s been flying their antique aircraft for more than 15 years. The 2009 event was particularly special as Ed and Kathy Lubitz brought in their Silver Dart Replica (Canada’s first aeroplane) to celebrate the country’s Centennial of Flight.
For Part 2 of Michelle Goodeve’s photo essay on unique Canadian aviation events last summer, she focused her lens on Canadian Aviation Heritage Museum’s “Flyfest.” A nice mix of static displays and aerial shots, the essay includes photos of one of the only two Lancaster bombers still flying!
After snagging a groundhog hole with her tailwheel, it took Michelle Goodeve five years to get her Pietenpol back in the air. Glenn Norman captured one of the flights from the ground, and crafted a stunning photo essay that captures the spirit and determination of a pilot who lives to fly.
Last summer, Michelle Goodeve attended three aeronautical anomalies, all located in Canada’s “Golden Horseshoe” surrounding the western edge of Lake Ontario. She took A LOT of pictures. Here’s Part 1 of her photo essay on Canadian Air & Space Museum’s “Wings & Wheels Festival,” shot in and around the historic de Havilland factory at Toronto’s Downsview Airport.
Roy McMillion’s first submissions to Why Fly convey his intention as a photographer. “I try not just to capture an image of an aircraft,” he says, “but bring the aircraft into a context that tells a story, or even better, lets the viewer create their own story.”
