The Kenya Wildlife Service works tirelessly to spot and discourage wildlife poaching in Kenya and they recently received a new 180HP A1C Husky bush plane from the Lindbergh Foundation that is going to help support that work.

On January 29 the Husky was formally donated to the KWS in Nairobi, Kenya.  Lindbergh Foundation Chairman, President and CEO Larry Williams was there and shared his belief that “the Lindberghs would be proud that the Foundation carrying their name is supporting the work of the Kenya Wildlife Service.”

For more information about the Lindebergh Foundation donation to KWS visit the Lindbergh Foundation online.

If you think of flying as something that only happens above the earth, it’s time to think again.  Sir Richard Branson has introduced the Necker Nymph, an underwater aero submarine designed and built by Graham Hawkes of Hawkes Ocean Technologies.  The Necker Nymph is a three-person underwater craft that has been described as an underwater aircraft.

The Necker Nymph can glide across the surface of the ocean and then dive under using downward “lift” on the wings to submerge itself as low as 36,000 feet.

While eager explorers might want to jump in line to experience this new marvel of technology… the price tag is more than most can handle.  A ride in the Necker Nymph requires that you rent Sir Richard Branson’s luxury 105-foot catarmaran the Necker Belle for the cool price of $88,000 per week.  The fee to take the Necker Nymph out for a little underwater ride is an additional $25,000 per week.

For more on this new and exciting announcement in underwater flight visit MSNBC.com or if you’ve got the cash to take the Necker Nymph out for a spin, visit Virgin Limited Edition for more information about booking the Necker Belle for a vacation.

So what do you think… is it about time for the U.S. Senate to start lending their support to general aviation?

This is a great site to use when searching for aircraft parts.  The best part is that the service is FREE!  Accounts are easy to create.  Once created, you can:

• Search for aircraft parts by part number, description, NSN number, or alternate part number
• View vendor contact information (phone numbers, email addresses, locations)
• Send unlimited RFQ’s or even send a purchase order
• View pictures of the aircraft parts (in some cases)
• View Manufacturer cross-reference information (when available)

Another great benefit is that the website is in real-time.  www.Stockmarket.aero is automatically updated by users as their stock levels change.  There are no lengthy updates for vendors to process.  This gives you the benefit of the most recent information available.

Stockmarket.aero was developed by Component Control, the creators of Quantum Control software.  They are a leader in the aviation software industry and they are always updating their systems with the latest technology available.  You can visit their website at www.componentcontrol.com.

If you are a vendor who does not use Quantum Control, you are still able to list your inventory with Stockmarket.aero.  Send an email to Jason Cordoba, jcordoba@componentcontrol.com, or call him directly at 619-696-5421.
