Greeting Loyal Airmen, we're hoping many of you have gone out and ordered copies of our just released reprint of Captain Hazzard # 1 Python Men of the Lost City which has that wonderful new Mark Maddox cover.  We're still extremely happy to have that book back in our Airship 27 catalog.  As always, you can shop at our on-line store by simply clicking on to our dirigible logo to the left of this log.  As of now, we have FIFTEEN TITLES available, which range from various genres such a aviation heroes, modern day suspense thrillers, horror, fantasy and of course our bread and butter, new pulp adventures.  So if you haven't visited the store in a while, do yourself, and us, a favor and stop on by.

Well, we've really been keeping things humming writing-wise at our Pulp Fiction Review blog.  We started this on-line column two years ago and the readership has continued to grow into a really huge following.  Last week we were invited to post our reviews on a brand new internet news site called The INDenver Times.  This was formerly the Rocky Mountain newspaper which was forced to closed its doors a little while back.  They, like many newspapers out there today, have made the switch to an all digital operation on-line. Thus, in looking for new content to attract readership, they cast a big net out into the web-sea.  Which is how we were invited aboard, and have accepted happily.  Thus far they've run our last two reviews and if you would like to check them out, and the INDenver Times itself, simply log on to (http://www.indenvertimes.com/)  You'll find our reviews in the Entertainment & Leisure section.

Speaking of entertainment, from time to time Ye Old Airchief has brought to your attention movies which, for whatever insane reasons, were not releases to the theaters and went direc to DVD.  One such movie is a great action piece called, OUTLANDER.

It stars one of our favorite actors, Jim Caviezel as an alien being who crash lands in the Scandanavian wilderness during the Viking era.  When found by a village of Vikings, he warns them that his ship was carrying a hellish beast that caused his crash and it is now loose and poses a threat to all of them.  He of course offers his assitance to the Viking Leader to help hunt down this alien monster and thus, as one reviewer wisely put it, the story takes on a Beowulf meets Predator story.  The action is superb, the action fast and furious and the supporting cast includes John Hurt, Sophia Miles and Ron Perlman.  It's a dandy adventure movie and we are still amazed that it was never released to theaters.  All Loyal Airmen should at least go out and rent OUTLANDER.  You won't be sorry.  And do let us know what you thought of it. 

Sticking with the movie theme, all you Loyal Airmen will recall how we posted enjoying the new J.J.Abrams written and directed STAR TREK movie that has quickly become the biggest box-office hit of this season thus far.  It's a fresh and exciting reimagining of that classic space opera franchise with a talented young cast.  Another of the elements that added to our enjoyment of the movie was the beautiful, thrilling music score by Michael Giacchino.  Ye Old Air Chief loves movie music and has a collection of over 450 disc which we play when writing.  Giacchino has composed a grand old fashion score which uses themes to identify each of the characters and weaves them throughout the score.  It's truly beautiful music from start to finish, capturing the essence of what the adventure was all about. This one is a most welcome addition to that music library.

On the baseball front, the Red Sox swept the Detroit Tigers three games in a row and are on their way back to Fenway for a weekend set against the Texas Rangers.  Having the identical win-loss record as the rival New York Yankees, both teams are sharing the number one spot in the American League East Division.  So all is good there.  Until they can lay claim it alone.  Ha.  And this weekend, our son Scott and grandson Logan, are driving up from their home in Bethel, Conn. to spend a few days with us.  So you know we're looking forward to these next few days with much joy.  Anytime family comes to visit is a cause of celebration in Hangar 27.

That's all for this week, Loyal Airmen.  Next week we'll be gearing up to attend Larry Doherty's Sunday Comic Show.  We'll have all the details for you then. Take care, have a great week,
Ron – Over & Out.
