A reporter’s-note account of the US Open’s arrival in Queens: a stray green ball, the city shifting from August languor to September intensity, and Flushing Meadows waking into a global sporting circus.Remembering the intimate charm of Forest Hills and legends carved into stadium columns, the piece balances nostalgia with the tournament’s modern $1.2 billion impact and the star power that now passes through sealed corridors.Short takes on the 2026 contenders — Sinner, Alcaraz, Sabalenka and others — and a warm invitation to feel New York change with every serve.

On a Queens morning a stray tennis ball becomes a metaphor: the US Open flips New York from summer lull into the city's loud late‑August ritual.

Flying Talkers on Flying Typers Air Cargo News celebrates National Aviation Day while reflecting on a surprising oversight: the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum marked its 50th anniversary but gave little standalone recognition to Orville Wright’s birthday. The episode weaves museum history, Paul Garber’s tireless preservation work, Lindbergh’s donation of the Spirit of St. Louis, and how those choices shaped public memory of flight.Sponsored by PayCargo, the show also previews the upcoming Air Cargo Chronicles and urges listeners to remember the people—Orville, Charles, Paul—and the decisions that turned fragile moments into preserved history. A short, passionate call to honor aviation’s founders and keep telling the true stories of air cargo and flight.
