In recent years, the Estrella Warbird Museum in Paso Robles, CA, has been expanding its aircraft collection. The latest acquisition has seen no less than three aircraft from Camp San Luis Obispo, about 40 miles southwest of the museum. These include a Cessna O-1A Birddog, de Havilland Canada U-6A Beaver, and Hiller OH-23C Raven helicopter. All three are now set to become restoration projects to be permanently displayed at the EWM.

Roku City, the oddly alluring cityscape screen saver, scrolls across millions of idle TVs every day. Recently, an island paradise appeared in the picture. In the foreground, a floating billboard invited me to subscribe to Disney+ and watch Moana 2 at the press of a button on my remote.

This is why algorithms tend to be viewed as villains these days. They’re the technology behind TikTok’s For You page, which keeps feeding you weird videos you can’t stop watching, and Amazon recommendations that appear to know what prescription you’re taking. Facebook’s algorithms, meanwhile, have been radicalizing Americans for at least a decade, and Instagram’s algorithmic feed is wrecking the mental health of an entire generation.

Last year, we reported on the restoration of the National Air and Space Museum (NASM)’s Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik inside the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center’s Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar. Now, the aircraft’s restoration has been finalized, and it will be displayed alongside other WWII aircraft in the new Jay I. Kislak World War II in the Air Gallery, which will open in 2026. As mentioned in our earlier article, the exact history of the Smithsonian’s Shturmovik is unclear.
