AvWings publishing director, Tony Seran, relaxing at the camp.

AvWings managing editor, Fred Lloyd.

You don't get in this airplane, you strap it on. The rear cockpit of a Sukhoi Su-29, the aerobatic hotrod. Note the performance maneuver card with diagrams.

Outside shot of the Sukhoi SU-29

Another of the 1000's of great cockpits to check out.

The timeless Pitts biplane.

Center console of the Lockheed Hercules C-130. This is a fairly new -H model.

Main panel of the C-130H. Note the use of multiple electronic displays and the multitude of warning lights (small black squares).

Co-pilot's side of the C-130H. Note the promininet FMS computer and other controls.

A pair of Czech L-39's takeoff for a joyride. These have only recently became available on the US market and have been quite a hit. Costing less than a new Beechcraft Bonanza ('only' $250,000), the allow the prospective or wannabe fighter jock to cruise around at 400 knots and look like Mach-1 even when parked. Even though they are relatively inexpensive, they can burn a lot of fuel in a short time. Count on $400 to $500 per hour for fuel.
