Investigators are hoping that a flight data recorder recovered at the scene of Monday's downed airliner in a crowded Indonesian neighborhood will yield the information needed to determine what brought the 24-year-old B737 down.

Could Become Massive Solar-Power Facility

It's a plan that sounds something like a Monty Python skit specifically geared to the engineering community, but the idea has merit: NASA could either tear down the 73-year-old, toxin-laden, 200-foot-tall structure on the grounds of the Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, CA...

Though it is a city without electricity, rescue crews see plenty of lights as they fly over New Orleans each night searching for survivors in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

From Awe To Tragedy

“It’s aviation mecca,” I wrote in an email several days ago, while trying in vain to explain to a friend the appeal of spending eight days at Wittman Field under alternating blistering sun and drenching rain.

ANN Reader Robert Maier (pictured below) is a man on a mission... an Angel Flight Mission. With his Cherokee 180, Maier has become part of the undersung but none-the-less invaluable mission being undertaken by unselfish, heroic aviators who want nothing right now than to know that they are part of a solution to a seemingly insurmountable problem--bringing relief to those imperiled by the wrath of Hurricane Katrina.
