THEATER REVIEW | WESTCHESTER; Flights Are Delayed, But Lives Go On
He's a straight-arrow businessman in the standard-issue suit and tie, with standard-issue black luggage and a computer case. She's a mop-haired flake in clogs and a long, gathered skirt, toting colorful fabric bags and a large brownish cylinder -- it could be some kind of artisanal bread or salami, but turns out to be, of all things, a rain stick.
DANCE REVIEW; A Stretch Limo Is the Vehicle for Flights of Fancy
A black limousine pulled into LentSpace on Wednesday evening to signal the beginning of Yoshiko Chuma's latest outdoor work, ''A-C-E One,'' or, as one youngster in the audience put it, ''Look, Daddy, there's a car service coming in.'' Ms. Chuma chose the vehicle as a status symbol, but nowadays the sight of a black stretch limousine can mean, among
Turkey Barring Israeli Military Flights From Its Airspace
ISTANBUL -- Turkey has been blocking Israeli military flights from entering its airspace, Turkish officials said Monday, in the latest diplomatic fallout over Israel's deadly raid last month on a Turkish ship carrying activists trying to breach the naval blockade of Gaza.

A Summer of Full Flights and Rising Fares
This is not going to be a good summer for air travelers. They face a potential combination of crowded flights, high fares and labor disruptions. And that does not even consider the possibility of more canceled flights because of new penalties for airlines that encounter long tarmac delays or the potential of continued disruption in Europe from the
British Air Cuts Flights As Workers Walk Out
British Airways' 12,000 cabin crew began a five-day strike on Monday, stepping up their protest against plans to cut staff and wages. British Airways has scrapped flights that were to carry 25,000 people a day during the dispute, which began after midnight London time. That will cut about 40 percent of long-haul services from the carrier's hub at
IN TRANSIT; Delta Expanding Flights From New York
Seeking to bolster its flights out of New York City, Delta Air Lines announced plans to expand service from there to nearly 30 cities worldwide, including major business destinations like Chicago, St. Louis, London and Tokyo.

MUSIC REVIEW; A Woman's Flights of Fantasy and Fear

Flight is the process by which an object moves either through the air, or movement beyond earth's atmosphere (as in the case of spaceflight), by generating lift, propulsive thrust or aerostatically using buoyancy, or by simple ballistic movement.

Humans, although not apparently other animals, have managed to construct lighter than air vehicles that fly due to their buoyancy in air.

An aerostat is a system that remains aloft primarily through the use of buoyancy to give an aircraft that has the same overall density as air. Aerostats include free balloons, airships, and moored balloons. An aerostat's main structural component is its envelope, a lightweight skin containing a lifting gas to provide buoyancy, to which other components are attached.

Aerostats are so named because they use "aerostatic" lift which is a buoyant force that does not require movement through the surrounding air mass. This contrasts with aerodynes that primarily use aerodynamic lift which requires the movement of at least some part of the aircraft through the surrounding air mass.
