We're making some changes--when it says "NEW" behind a pirep, it's dated
--AND we're trying to get some new ones up. Note, we just put the P-51 up.

Okay, so I've been a lazy SOB. To those who are frequent visitors to Airbum.com, you know I haven't updated anything for some time (I think Reagan was in office). I'm going to try to change that. Not in huge leaps, but you'll be seeing some new pireps so check below and see what's been added lately. Some new Grassroots will be going up too, along with a few articles. Sorry to have been so deliquent.

Get on our e-newsletter mailing list We'll be letting AirBummers know what we're putting up. If you have a favorite airplane and don't see it here, contact us and it'll go on the to-do list.

Loading Note
Because each pirep has a number of pictures, they take a while to load, especially for you guys using 28.8 modems. The text loads almost immediately, so you can be reading that while the pictures load.

Introducing
PEANUT PIREPS
(betcha can't read just one)

This is an entirely new section of Airbum.com that reproduces the short little "sidebar" pireps and aircraft profilesI've been doing for Model Airplane News for years. In 500 words, or so, I rip through the high points of the airplane trying to give a feeling for its personality and use. You can read through one of these in a minute or two. Great for killing time while you're on hold:
PEANUTS
