Tiger Airshow makes Cleveland National Air Show debut this weekend – News

Mark Sorenson loves flying. As a commercial airline pilot, the veteran often can be found flying jet airliners around the country. However, over the last decade, modern technology has essentially taken the flying out of the pilot’s hands in the name of safety.

Problem is, Sorenson’s a pilot’s pilot — he needed an outlet for his aeronautical passion. The answer he found is the Tiger Airshow, which will be making its Northeast Ohio debut Labor Day Weekend at the Cleveland National Air Show.

“You know, in today’s modern airlines, there’s a lot of uniqueness to it, the skill of mastering technology, but there’s not a lot of flying involved,” said Sorenson, calling from Atlanta. “I’ll be honest, you can get on an airliner these days, and the pilot may actually hand fly six to eight minutes of a three-hour flight.

“So for guys like me who like to fly, we get home, we drag out these airplanes on our days off and fly to the middle of nowhere.”

Tiger Airshow pilots Sorenson and Mark Nowosielski will be entertaining audiences in the air with their identical Yak-55 planes, displaying aerial demonstration of precision and skill.

The duo performs razor-sharp maneuvers that will highlight the demanding skills required to fly close-formation aerobatics, all while combining the challenges of flying through smoke rings in the sky.

Yes, that’s right, smoke rings in the sky, which Sorenson said is completely original and helps create a circus-style theme for these airplanes, which are painted like tigers.

“What do you do

Daryl L. Guimond — Rochester

Daryl Laurence Guimond, age 64, passed from this life on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018, doing what he loved to do, mowing his lawn. He was greeted at heaven’s door by his family who went before him and was welcomed into the loving arms of his Savior. He has been set free.

Daryl was born July 22, 1954, to Laurence R. and Darlene C. Guimond in Faribault. He graduated from Mayo High School in 1972. He went on to attend vocational school for tool and dye and later entered into apprenticeship with Local 6 Plumbers Pipefitters Union and became a Journeyman Plumber/Steamfitter.

Daryl married his high school sweetheart, Linda Jo Hoyer, on April 5, 1974, and they were married for 44 years to the time of his death. Daryl and Linda were blessed with a son, Jason John, on Jan. 12, 1979, and he was so very proud of his son. Daryl was further blessed with four precious grandchildren, Justin, Jackson, Olivia and Delia, and they were the light of his life. The boys loved to go to grandpa’s office and he would give them pieces of gum and Olivia loved to snuggle with grandpa in his recliner.

Daryl worked for various plumbing shops during his career after receiving his Certificate of Apprenticeship qualifying him as a Journeyman Plumber on Aug. 4, 1982. He was an instructor for Local 6 Plumbers Pipefitters Union from 1990 to 2000, teaching apprenticeship classes for Local 6 JATC. Daryl was a member of Local 6 from

Apple Watch Series 4 review: the best gets better

The greatest Apple product comeback story of the past few years has, without a doubt, been the Apple Watch. Launched with great fanfare four years ago, the initial version tried to do way too much with way too little, and it had confusing software to boot. Worst of all, it was unclear what the original Apple Watch was even for. No single thing stood out.

Then Apple did what Apple often does: iterated, refined, and fixed. But as much as there were software and hardware improvements to the Series 2 and Series 3, the most important refinements were to the Apple Watch’s purpose. It gained clarity. It was for fitness and notifications. Eventually, when it was ready, Apple added better connectivity.

Now, with the Series 4, Apple is iterating again. And, importantly, it’s learned how to iterate the product’s hardware and its purpose at the same time. The Series 4 has finally achieved something like the original goal of the Apple Watch. It’s not quite a do-anything computer on your wrist, but it can be different things to different people now.

With apologies to the new iPhones, the Apple Watch Series 4 was the most impressive thing Apple announced last week. After using it for the past week or so, I think it lives up to the hype.

For the first time since the original Apple Watch, the hardware has been fully redesigned, with a new body and new sizes.

The Marine Corps is accelerating a massive modernization and readiness overhaul of its MV-22 Osprey to upgrade sensors, add weapons, sustain the fleet and broaden the mission scope — as part of an effort to extend the life of the aircraft to 2060.

While first emerging nearly two decades ago, the Osprey tiltrotor aircraft has seen an unprecedented uptick in deployments, mission scope and operational tempo.

As a result, Corps developers explain that the aircraft has, to a large extent, had trouble keeping pace with needed modernization and readiness enhancements. This challenge has been greatly
