Stefan has covered his fourth event since the beginning of September, but were you able to guess #wheresstefan? Correct guesses win a Stefan t-shirt, so follow our elusive friend on Twitter.  

See some great images of retro aircraft from AirSpace user Ace79 who went to the Vintage Aircraft Weekend at Paine Field Everett, WA, recently.

And why not add your views to the discussion on the accuracy of Thomson's inflight safety video. One user comments about the airline's marketing video: "You should only be seeing it on the flight after you've already bought your ticket and got on the aircraft - advertising in retrospect?"

See a vlog post on Mary Kirby's Runway Girl blog about the latest in inflight entertainment on a recent visit to Florida to see JetBlue subsidiary LiveTV.

A US Marine Corps pilot suggests in an issue of Joint Forces Quarterly that the age of stealth domination in airpower is over according to the DEW Line blog.

The pilot says the US military and industry needs to launch a crash technology programme. "If anything, the technology could be leveraged to understand the techniques potential adversaries could use to shoot down our stealth aircraft".

Have you been getting involved in Stefan the Pilot's guessing game #wheresstefan on Twitter?

If not, it's not too late to win yourself a Stefan-adorned t-shirt.

So far a few of Stefan's followers have guessed correctly Stefan's whereabouts and which events he's been busy attending over the last couple of weeks.

He's gearing up to jet off somewhere new later in the week. Can you out-fox Stefan's cryptic clues?

There's a discussion on AirSpace about acceptable behaviour on an aircraft and how to deal with unruly passengers following news of a court case involving a drunken socialite's racy antics onboard a Kingfisher Airlines flight.

See the pictures on a Runway Girl blog post about IFE handsets. She says: "The picture you see is not the final look of the touch screen handset that will be flying next year. But it gives you a pretty good idea of what's coming down the pike."

So many questions arise from a video on the Flight Blog about a low flying fighter jet flying over a man who doesn't seem at all bothered and gives a thumbs up. It can't be real. Can it?

He remains on his feet despite the jet blast. Some say the aircraft's a Mirage, others say a Harrier, and a Super Hornet is another suggestion. Let us know your thoughts.

A Handley Page Victor bomber aptly nicknamed "Teasin' Tina" gave shocked onlookers more than they bargained for when it accidently took off during the Cold War Jets day at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome.

The Cold War bomber apparently took off as the co-pilot (who was an engineer and not a pilot, cue the "engineers can never be pilots" jokes) accidently hit the throttle when the aircraft was meant to just taxi down the runway for a photo shoot. See footage of the takeoff.

The Flightglobal Image Store launched last week features thousands of historical and modern images, including our extensive technical cutaway drawings with options for potential shoppers to purchase images in their preferred format and style, whether it's on canvas, framed or even as a jigsaw.

Don't forget to follow Stefan on Twitter... He's going to be busy over the next few months. Why not guess where he is from the clues he tweets on his travels. Use the hash tag #wheresstefan and tell him which event he's at and in which city and you could win yourself a limited edition Stefan t-shirt.

Flight International issue 25-31 August 2009

Be honest, who really takes notice of those safety demonstrations before takeoff?

Charter operator Thomson Airways knows this and has come up with a way to get passengers to sit up and pay attention by using children as cabin crew giving the instructions, which is all very heart-warming and actually very effective.

Check out Kieran Daly's blog post pointing to Boston Globe's 40 "fabulous" aviation pictures.

It's a spectacular selection, including an impressive shot of a hot-air balloon above the clouds in Germany and a helicopter, with tourists onboard, in front of Angel Falls at Canaima National Park.

Read about the Su-27 fighter jet that disappeared behind trees at Poland's Radom air show recently and burst into flames killing both pilots and view a newsclip of its aerial display.

Twitter user, RAFairman uploaded an image showing part of an aircraft and challenged followers to guess its type.

Our very own Stefan the Pilot was the winner guessing correctly that the image was of a Westland Wessex helicopter.

See more of the Wessex, once described by Flight International as the "world's largest VTOL aircraft".
