A Guy spray-painted Airforce 1, WOW*, Presidential Graffiti....... all on Tape by [email protected]
I was impressed when I found this one. A guy named Mark Ecko penetrates Airforce 1 security, makes it to the President's plane and spray-paints it with Graffiti, wow, and was not busted. He could have easily attached anything he wanted to. In this case it was only black Spray-paint. You got to see...

Engine on Global Flyer by Brent
They're saying the Global Flyer's jet engine burns 102 pounds of fuel an hour. If that kind of fuel weighs in at 6 pounds per gallon, that's about 17 gallons an hour, or roughly double what I burn in the little Cherokees I fly. Then again, the jet propelled the Flyer about 2 times as fast with a...

Georeferencing Maps [was GPS and airspace] by John Clonts
Hello Tom, Thanks for the tips. I found that when I use the "raw data" it does work as you say (http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA/sectionals/current/). Is this what you are using? But I have trouble when I try to use one of Kyler's "processed images"...
