Waco’s YMF-5D biplane may look like an authentically vintage aircraft from the outside, but it’s an entirely different story once you strap yourself into the pilot’s seat. The plane is available with a number of different “glass cockpit” options, including the top of the line model pictured above that’s outfitted with a whole slew of Garmin aviation gear and other 21st century niceties. Of course, that doesn’t exactly come cheap – all told, the full glass configuration runs just over $99,000, or over $500,000 including the plane itself (you can see what it looks like after the break).

Diane Sawyer allocated all but 1:37 of World News to Japan on Wednesday night, committing 33 seconds of that limited time to touting President Obama’s NCAA basketball picks provided to ABC corporate cousin ESPN. “Despite all the troubles around the world” Sawyer rationalized – as if there’s much evidence Obama, who’s hardly been engaged in the Libyan or Japanese situations and who went golfing last weekend, is devoting much time to any of it – “the President kept his annual appointment to fill out his bracket for college basketball's March Madness. The basketball Fan-in-Chief got together with our sister network ESPN's Andy Katz.” Following a clip of Obama revealing a couple of his selections, Sawyer trumpeted: “You heard it here first. The President is going with Kansas!” Then, with “BARACK-ETOLOGY” at the top of the screen above ESPN graphics, Sawyer plugged: “And you can see all of his picks on ESPN’s Sports Center and at ESPN.com.” A year ago , Sawyer devoted nearly two minutes of World News (1:50) to Obama's college basketball tournament choices. She teased at the start of the March 17, 2010 newscast: ‘Top picks: Stream of consciousness as the Fan-in-Chief completes his college basketball bracket.’” From the Wednesday, March 16 ABC World News: DIANE SAWYER: And, despite all the troubles around the world, the President kept his annual appointment to fill out his bracket for college basketball's March Madness.
