The Liberty Belle B-17 Bomber, also known as a "Flying Fortress" visited Felts Field in 2010 and 2009 for its annual national tour. It offered flights to paying passengers and tours to curious Spokane residents. UPDATE (12:12 p.m.): It was not the same one that visited earlier this month. It crash landed near Chicago this morning. The pilot had reported an engine fire so he brought it down in a cornfield near Highway 71 and Minkler Road. It burned in a field four miles southeast of Aurora Municipal Airport. All seven people on board made it off the plane safely.

kxly4 took home two Emmy statues at the 48th Northwest Regional Emmy Awards Saturday, including the award for Best Evening Newscast. The Emmy for Best Newscast is especially important, as kxly4 HD News @ 6 was nominated against Portland stations to bring home the trophy. It was the only newscast from the Spokane market to win an award. In an email to the kxly4 staff, News Director Jerry Post wrote, "Thanks to each and every one of you. This award is your award, so congratulations."
