Charles Alfred ‘Chief’ Anderson - Plane & Pilot

It was just a sunny afternoon flight in a yellow Piper Cub. For pilot Charles Alfred “Chief” Anderson, the flight itself was ordinary. His passenger in the backseat, though, was anything but. Anderson, a Black man, was taking first lady Eleanor Roosevelt for an airplane ride. In 1940s America, it was unthinkable. That 40-minute hop would become known as “The Flight That Changed History.” Born in 1907 in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Anderson was capt…Read Article

Republic XF-84H ‘Thunderscreech’ - Plane & Pilot

When selecting topics for this column, I try to stay true to the spirit of Plane & Pilot and focus on single- and multi-engine propeller-driven aircraft that have a great story to tell. We have covered everything from the first X-plane, the 1909 Wright Model R, also known as “Baby Grand,” to the exotic Pond Racer, and more recently, the extraordinary 400 mph Nemesis NXT. However, one single-engine propeller-driven aircraft stands head and should…Read Article

Going Up and Going Down - Plane & Pilot

One of the joys of flight is the ability to maneuver vertically, rather than be restricted to the two-dimensional playground of earthly pursuits. This is new territory for beginning pilots, who must be taught the right—and wrong—ways to manage ascent and descent. As with all airplane maneuvering, proper altitude changes are based on the foundational formula “power plus attitude equals performance.” If maximum performance is desired, an airspeed …United States · United States Read Article

Lawmakers Move to Shield Pilot Data Amid Privacy Concerns - Plane & Pilot

Last week, legislation was introduced in Congress aimed at restricting ADS-B data usage for punitive measures. The Pilot and Aircraft Privacy Act seeks to prohibit both governmental and private organizations from using ADS-B data to impose fines on operators, as well as clarify that tracking information will only be utilized by air traffic controllers (ATCs) for safety reasons or purposes approved by the Department of Transportation. The bill al…Superior · Superior Read Article

Azalea Saberwing - Fast…and Affordable? - Plane & Pilot

At Sun ’n fun 2025 many attendees were drawn to an aircraft that appears to be both genuinely affordable and a speedy performer. I refer to Saberwing from Azalea Aviation. This composite kitplane stands out for its modest cost, achieved with simple fiberglass and wood elements and because Azalea offers its own engine. Yes, you have to build a Saberwing, but the job has been made easier and swifter and, as the kit runs at the price of a new pick…Aircraft · Quitman Read Article

Let’s Get Wild: Transporting Animals by Helicopter - Plane & Pilot

During my second stint of calling Texas home, I wanted to discover, experience, and write about every unique facet of general aviation that I could within the Lone Star State. From a back-seat WACO checkout to learning the basics of off-airport flying in a Carbon Cub, and so much in between, I can honestly say I was able to do just that. Although I thoroughly enjoyed every opportunity, there was one experience that was especially Texan. Thanks …Aviation · Fredericksburg Read Article
