Nellis Airshow Several fantastic pictures from the Nellis Airshow. Everything from first looks at the F-22 Raptor to a very cool Fairey Firefly all the way to "Precious Metal" - an aircraft that started life as a P-51 Mustang (the tail and radiator scoop still look familiar), but the fuselage and cockpit were substantially modified for air racing. Most notable it has two contra-rotating three-bladed propellers that were taken from a British Shackleton marine patrol aircraft. I saw this plane at the Reno Air Races a while back and its amazing. I have to put this airshow on my list for next year. 5:06:59 PM    comment []

More on the Manila 9.5 Beta We have made good progress on the Manila 9.5 beta. This past week we made progress with bug fixes, path permissions, process macros, as well as solved some issues with content-only templates. We have a few more small things to tweak and some docs to complete, but that should give us a candidate for general release. We will give everyone one final look before building the installers and making the official release. Visit the Beta Site Site here and be sure to try both sandboxes. One for News Items and one for Non-News Items. Look for an announcement here and in Manila News. 3:45:20 PM    comment []
