Lines of people formed at Boston's Logan Airport early Friday morning as travelers tried to beat the freeze. Then hundreds of flights were canceled and the place was a ghost town.
At least 430 inbound and outbound flights were cancelled as of Friday morning, according to FlightAware, a flight tracking tech company. That's nearly triple the amount of flight cancellations that were being reported Thursday. Only seven delays were being reported.
The winter weather is impacting air travel Friday. With the storm dropping freezing rain and snow from Texas through the Ohio Valley and into the Midwest, thousands of flights have been grounded across the country. The major storm impact forced many travelers to make last-minute adjustments.

More on flight cancellations
Families who tried to get ahead of the storm at Logan Airport Thursday night spoke to NBC10 Boston about their struggles.
"We were supposed to fly out tomorrow morning but we figured with the freeze that’s coming, it made more sense to fly out tonight," Rayna Fontana said. "Although then our flight got canceled tonight, too. But we got on a later one so we’re going to make it there.”
With the bad weather rolling in, a high number of flight cancellations are likely and are expected to continue to rise Friday morning.
Many other passengers at Logan Airport were trying to beat the weather Thursday night.
"We were supposed to fly out tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., and we changed our flight to tonight because of the weather for tomorrow morning," said Kelly Nelsbach, who was flying to Orlando.
"We were nervous," said Rayna Fontana, who was flying to Washington, DC. "We were supposed to fly out tomorrow morning, but we figured with the freeze that's coming, it made more sense to fly out tonight. Although then our flight got canceled tonight, too, but we got on a later one, so we're going to make it there."

Boeing Launches Digital Maintenance Tool
The digital records management capability will optimize maintenance operations and reduce airlines' costs because they no longer will face the challenge of managing cumbersome, paper-based maintenance records.
Boeing on Oct. 13 introduced a digital records management capability to its Maintenance Performance Toolbox product suite, saying the tool will optimize maintenance operations and reduce airlines' costs because they no longer will face the challenge of managing cumbersome, paper-based maintenance records. The tool works with other application solutions to increase efficiencies for day-to-day airline maintenance operations and the management of leased airplanes, according to Boeing.
"Automation of the maintenance recordkeeping process is a new and essential component of our Maintenance Performance Toolbox, and we are pleased to provide airlines with the foundation for establishing more efficient maintenance operations," said Per Norén, vice president, Digital Solutions for Boeing Digital Aviation, which is a business unit of Commercial Aviation Services. "Our new records solution lowers costs related to daily records and the end-of-lease management, as well as eliminating redundant processes and reducing delays in aircraft maintenance processes. This new system truly allows airlines to unlock the potential of fleet-wide digital records management."
More than 160 customers currently use the Maintenance Performance Toolbox suite.

CAP cadets learn about aerospace, leadership and teamwork in the largest Summer European Encampment Published Aug. 1, 2019 By Airman 1st Class Taylor D. Slater 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs KAPAUN AIR STATION, Germany -- The Ramstein Civil Air Patrol hosted their largest annual overseas encampment from July 26 to August 2. During the week-long 2019 European Summer Encampment cadet Airmen perform physical training, practice drill marching, and learn about aerospace and leadership skills. U.S. Air Force Capt. Bradley Whitacre, CAP encampment commander, said this encampment hosted cadet Airmen from as far away as Alaska and other European countries such as the United Kingdom and Belgium. Whitacre said that their opportunities are unique because of their location. They can offer opportunities such as flying in a C-130 over Germany which makes it easier for them to appeal to kids and families. Encampments are required to become officers in Civil Air Patrol. They are also requirements for the Billy Mitchell Award, an award that grants eligibility for advanced rank when a cadet wants to enlist into the Air Force. Whitacre said the encampment is about more than learning about the Air Force and aerospace, however. It’s about building cadets into better citizens. “I believe the line CAP uses is: ‘Building outstanding new American citizens and dynamic aerospace leaders,’” Whitacre said. “Encampment focuses more on the team mentality and indoctrinating them into the cadet life of similar rituals.” The age range for cadet Airmen was 12 to 17 years old. There were approximately 60 cadet Airmen present at the event and 21 senior members. Tai Oser, a CAP cadet Airman, said his favorite part of the encampment has been the team-building activities. “It’s really fun to bond as a team and work together to accomplish a goal,” said Oser. Whitacre encouraged anyone interested in the program to come to their meetings at 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. every week. He said that while those meetings are a requirement to get into Civil Air Patrol, they are also a great outlet for getting in touch with other military resources. “There’s something for everyone and your level of commitment is determined by you,” said Whitacre.

During the early years of the Vietnam War, several small cadres of men served their country and their fellow comrades-in-arms from a remote airbase cut out of the jungles of northeast Thailand. The base was named Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base, but the men assigned there had a special name for it: “Naked Fanny.”
Initially they were assigned to rescue military pilots shot down over Laos or forced to leave their aircraft over Thailand. But as the war expanded, their mission changed and they were asked to fly into hostile situations in North Vietnam, making numerous rescues—detailed here by the pilots who flew them and those who were rescued.
This is a story that has never been told in its entirety but is an integral part of U.S. Air Force aviation history. Scott Harrington has compiled and written the story of those early years of the Vietnam War at the little base just west of the town of Nakhon Phanom, Thailand. After reading it, you’ll understand why these fragile aircraft and the men who flew them were often referred to as “Blades of wood – Men of steel.”Read The First Three Chapters

With a sonic boom that resounded above the Mojave Desert, a rocket plane belonging to British billionaire Richard Branson's commercial space venture Virgin Galactic got one step closer to carrying tourists into space.
On Monday the company's SpaceShipTwo ignited its rocket motor in mid-flight for the first time and sped to Mach 1.2, faster than sound, reaching about 56,000 feet in altitude. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-virgin-galactic-20130430,0,507052.story

Vietnam War Memories for PBS
#VietnamStoriesPBS ~ PBS is looking for Americans to share their Vietnam Stories on social media and the web in the run-up to the Sept. 17 premiere of Ken Burns' 10-part series, "The Vietnam War." Here, submitted respectfully, is one from "Sharkbait" author Guy S. Clarke, M.D.:
"I was 28 years old and recently married, a licensed pilot and a brand new doctor when I shipped over to Vietnam for a year of service as a Flight Surgeon with the U.S. Air Force 1966-67. I was assigned to the 12th Air Force Hospital at Cam Ranh Bay.
My job was to serve as physician and co-pilot to the pilots of the 12th Tactical Fighter Wing. The flight surgeon’s office has the singular purpose of providing medical support for the pilots who fly or personnel who support their squadrons.
My wing commander held the position that physicians flying combat missions bolstered rapport between the flight surgeon and the pilots under his care. I heartily agreed.
I wound up flying more than 90 missions as “The Guy in Back” (GIB) for the 12th A.F. squadron pilots, who I quickly realized were America’s best. They were superstitious, fearless, and absolutely committed to flying. We flew missions over enemy territory in Vietnam, and “Tiger Hound Country” – Laos.
I’ll never forget my first flight in an F-4C Phantom. By the time I strapped myself in to the aircraft in my G-suit, the only parts of my body capable of movement were my head, arms and hands. When the pilot turned the “power-on” switch in the cockpit, the Phantom came to life with a hum. After we went through our checklists, the twin jet engines began to throb beneath us like the jet was a giant, living creature.
The temperature reached 140 degrees as we sat on the runway at Cam Ranh Bay. I believe the plexiglass of the cockpit canopy added another 50 or 60 degrees. It became untolerable. When the Number 2 Aircraft pulled around us and turned to the active runway for takeoff, its exhaust crated a huge blast of scorching air, sand and jet turbulence that slapped me in the face.
And then it was our turn. The dull murmur of the twin engines increased to a guttural growl. Then progressed to a high-pitched whine before erupting into a deafening roar as we launched down the runway.
The sudden acceleration hit my body with an impact that caught me totally by surprise. My body was fixed in upright position by the torso harness, but not my head and neck. The volcanic eruption of acceleration and its G-forces slammed my head forward and down, jamming my chin onto my chest. Under the pressure and weight of increasing G-forces, my arms are also pinned down, and I was completely immobilized.
My only view was the cockpit floor. My head weighed a ton, and I was unable to lift my arms or wrist. I could see the Mach meter from the corner of my eye. I watched the needle spin up to 1.25 Mach (1.25 times the speed of sound). At last we reached our altitude and began to level off. And I could raise my head to speak.
“Gee Major, this thing really moves out, doesn’t it?” I said to the pilot.
“Yeah it does, Doc, but remember this: it comes down just as damn fast as it goes up!”
At last, with my head lifted off my chest, I asked myself: the pilot is subject to the same forces of gravity as I am. How does he get through lift-off?
Looking to the front cockpit, I noticed that the major had anchored his helmet (and head) to the left, partially wedging it between the back of his seat and the plexiglass aircraft canopy. By forcefully jamming his head into this crevice between seat and canopy, he prevented the sudden application of G-forces from catapulting his head down toward the floor during liftoff.
My next obvious question – to myself-- was: “Why the hell didn’t one of the other guys tell me about this?”
It was the price a rookie aviator had to pay on his first flight."

4th Fighter Wing chief Col. Steve Kwast takes final flight as commander
By Kenneth Fine
Published in News on August 29, 2008 1:39 PM
Joni Kwast had been there before -- standing in a hangar surrounded by family and friends, waiting for her husband to guide his F-15E Strike Eagle back to the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base flight line.
But as she walked through the crowd of fighter pilots and community members gathered there Thursday, it was obvious that this was a different feeling than the one that overcame her nearly two decades ago.
News-Argus Video Report
Col. Steve Kwast was not coming home from Operation Desert Storm as he did in the early 1990s.
This time, the 4th Fighter Wing commander was saying goodbye.
Kwast took his final flight as commander of the wing just more than a week before he will stand down from the post.
He will pass the flag to Col. Mark Kelly, a former commander of the 333rd Fighter Squadron, Sept. 9.
The word "bittersweet" echoed through the hangar as Kwast hurried down the stairs leading from the cockpit.
Even he was not quite ready.
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base commander Col. Steve Kwast gives a thumbs up to the crowd gathered at the landing of Kwast's final flight as commander of the Air Force base Thursday afternoon.
He ducked and ran from the spray of hoses that accompanies a "fini-flight" -- running, first, to his daughter, Lilly, for a quick kiss, then to his son, Keegan, for a hug.
Then, Joni added to the shower with a bottle of champagne.
The colonel was ready.
He ran toward the airmen holding those hoses and soaked in the moment.
The Sept. 9 ceremony is scheduled for a 9:04 a.m. start.
Kelly, a command pilot, has served in operational F-15E units in the Pacific Air Forces, U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Combat Command, where he led combat missions over Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq in support of operations Deliberate Force, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
He is a decorated command pilot with a Bronze Star.

Elaine Thompson | AP
Groups hunting in the fuel tanks of brand name new Boeing 737 Max planes for foreign object particles will develop their inspections, sources familiar with the checks explained to CNBC on Friday.
The expanded inspections are the end result of teams obtaining particles in about two-thirds of the 737 Max designs that have been checked, the resources informed CNBC.
The information, first noted by Dow Jones on Friday, is the latest indicator Boeing proceeds to wrestle with challenges involving the Max.
The aircraft has been grounded by regulators all-around the entire world because March of very last 12 months subsequent two crashes that killed 346 people.
CNBC has achieved out to Boeing for comment regarding the preliminary checks for overseas object debris, frequently referred to as FOD, in extra than 400 new, but not still delivered Max planes.
Previously this 7 days Boeing started inspecting the gas tanks of new 737 Max planes for metallic shavings. Overseas item particles in an airplane has the opportunity to direct to big concerns with an aircraft in flight. Making absolutely sure there is no FOD in a new aircraft as it is becoming developed is a major emphasis for Boeing and all aircraft producers.
Immediately after Boeing announced options to inspect new 737 Max planes, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun addressed the issue with the NBC affiliate in Seattle. “It’s basic willpower. It truly is nothing at all far more, very little much less than manufacturing discipline. It truly is just about every personnel, each affiliate hunting soon after their perform, their spot each and every second in time, to make confident the FOD by no means arises yet again,” he reported.
Boeing maintains the inspections for debris does not modify the company’s concentrate on of possessing the 737 Max ungrounded and returning to provider by the middle of this 12 months.

A few days in the past, SpaceX hit a milestone with its Starship SN15 prototype rocket that had a take a look at flight that led to a profitable touchdown with out an explosion. It seems SpaceX could be very happy with itself, and CEO Elon Musk lately acknowledged that the prototype may fly once more very quickly. That assertion got here lower than 48 hours after the prototype efficiently landed with out exploding for the primary time.
As is typical for Musk, he took to Twitter to share the data, merely stating, “May attempt to refly SN15 quickly.” Anybody ready in anticipation for one more flight of the prototype spacecraft ought to mood Musk’s feedback with a grain of salt. Musk has a number of instances up to now promised one thing that didn’t occur.
SpaceX sometimes waits a couple of month between take a look at flights of the Starship prototypes. That that is the primary prototype that didn’t explode or crash may need SpaceX trying to speed up its timeline. The FAA has confirmed authorization for SN15, SN16, and SN17 to conduct take a look at flight operations.
Whether or not or not which means SN15’s earlier certification for flight continues to be legitimate is unclear. SpaceX is protecting itself very busy of late. Along with the profitable Starship SN15 take a look at flight and touchdown, the corporate additionally lately returned astronauts to Earth from the ISS. These astronauts splashed down below cowl of darkness with no points in any respect.
SpaceX additionally lately launched further Starlink satellites for its satellite-based broadband Web service. It’s definitely not sudden for a program as formidable because the Starship program to have its share of crashes and failures. SpaceX beforehand promised main upgrades have been being built-in into SN15.
Curiously, the corporate skipped SN12, SN13, and SN14 prototypes, which have been by no means utterly assembled. Modifications made to SN15 have been to deal with points the spacecraft had with landings, and eventually, these adjustments appear to have labored.

ESA´s astrometry satellite Gaia is scheduled for launch in 2013. In a combination of outstanding hardware performance,
autonomous object detection and sophisticated data processing, Gaia will chart more than a billion stars of the entire sky
to unprecedented accuracy during its 5 years mission. A key element to its mission success is the focal plane assembly
(FPA), the largest ever flown to space, comprising a close-butted almost Giga-pixel mosaic of 106 large area CCDs.
Manufacturing and extensive testing of the individual devices and detector system units as well as integration on the
single-piece, silicon-carbide support structure has been a challenge. The focal plane is now assembled and has undergone
its final tests during 2012.
The paper summarizes the expected in-flight performances of Gaia´s FPA and the implemented tools and procedures to
monitor its operation in space. Accurate knowledge of the impact of FPA performance parameters on individual
measurements and its evolution in time is critical to achieve the high accuracy needed in calibrating the science data. An
example is the radiation-induced deterioration of the CCD charge transfer efficiency, which acts on distorting the
detected object PSFs while observing the sky in continuous scan mode. Through dedicated calibration procedures and
directly through the scientific data processing, Gaia will therefore closely track the radiation environment at L2 from the
FPA output itself. Detection of transient effects and analysis of persistent damage on the CCDs mainly caused by solar
protons converts Gaia's FPA inherently into the largest ever radiation monitor in space.

Aircraft Type and Background
USAF Republic P-47D Thunderbolt / 44-33143
Aircraft Type Nickname: "the Jug"; since—because of its weight and solid build—it was considered to be something of a juggernaut.
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was perhaps the heaviest single engine fighter-bomber of its day. It was equipped with a Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine of 43 - 46 litres capacity.
The Thunderbolt was equipped with .50 calibre machine guns, with four on each wing. It was also capable of carrying rockets or bombs.
The aircraft was used as an escort fighter, a fighter-bomber, and a ground-attack fighter.

Aircraft Accident Details
P-47 44-33143 took off from Renfrew on the 16th of February 1945 at 13:10 hours on a ferry flight to RAF Burtonwood. The pilot was 2nd Lt. Robert Knowles. A few other aircraft were in the same flight and they lost touch with Knowles after the weather closed in after Prestwick. Around 14.30 hrs an explosion was heard over Fleet Bay.
On the 18th of February an RAF rescue party located the wreckage near Craigmore point, Kirkcudbright. The pilot had tried to get out of the aircraft but was too late and his body was found outside the cockpit of the aircraft tangled in the wreckage.

On June 16th 21:11 UT (Universal Time), a bright fireball was widely observed from Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and France. Nearly 170 visual reports have been sent to the International Meteor Organization so far. The fireball was filmed from Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands.
The fireball has been caught by several cams of the FRIPON Network:
Pinkpop festival-goers at Landgraaf (Netherlands) sighted the object pass over the scene during the concert of the Foo Fighters.
First analysis of visual reports and cameras recordings indicate the meteor flew above Belgium. Its visual flight started over Vielsalm and Saint-Vith (Belgium). The fireball went North-East (azimuth ~ 316°), with a ~40° inclination with the horizontal, on a ~75 km long path. It disappeared after fragmenting at an altitude of ~30 km altitude around 10 km North-East of Liège.
Based on two All Sky camera captures from Wilderen and Bussloo and U. Reichert’s picture, Marco Langbroek calculated that fireball started over the Luxemburg-Belgian border, at 70 km altitude. and ended over the Belgian Ardennes (30 km south of Liege) at 30 km altitude with a steep angle of 48 degrees with the horizontal.
If you saw this fireball, you help scientists investigating it by filling the Online Fireball Report Form (available in many languages). It’s easy, fast, and it does not require any technical or scientific knowledge. And it could help us getting a more accurate path, for further inquiry on the topic. Thanks in advance!

Did the US use planes in WW1?
When the war began in Europe, the United States military had very few airplanes – only six airplanes, and fourteen trained pilots, were available for use. Conversely, France’s military had 260 airplanes and 171 pilots, Germany 46 airplanes and 52 pilots, and the U.K. 29 airplanes and 88 pilots.
When did the US first use planes in war?
Airplanes were put to use for war starting in 1911, initially for reconnaissance, and then for aerial combat to shoot down the recon planes. The use of planes for strategic bombing emerged during World War II.
What 3 planes were in WW1?
As new army branch, aviation developed quickly as its inherent advantages were soon well-understood. Although not as decisive as it was in WW2, aviation saw the creation of the three types we know today: Reconnaissance aircrafts, Fighters, and Bombers.
When were planes first used in WW1?
Through World War I Powered aircraft were first used in war in 1911, by the Italians against the Turks near Tripoli, but it was not until the Great War of 1914–18 that their use became widespread.
Who used airplanes in WWI?
The Fokker Eindecker airplane became known as the Fokker Scourge when it was first used against the Allies by the Germans. The Germans called their airships Zeppelin’s after their builder Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. The first aircraft carriers were constructed during World War I.
What was the fastest ww1 plane?
The S.E.4 was first flown in June 1914, demonstrating performance every bit as good as hoped, with a maximum speed of 135 mph (217 km/h), making it the fastest aircraft in the world.
How were planes first used in ww1?
The First War Planes Were for Reconnaissance “These were two-seater aircraft with a pilot to do the flying and an observer up front to man the binoculars and take notes,” says Guttman. The handwritten drawings and on-the-fly observations weren’t always accurate, but proved critical in some early operations.
Which country first used planes in war?
The first use of an airplane in war was on October 23, 1911, during the Italo-Turkish War, when an Italian pilot made a one-hour reconnaissance flight over enemy positions near Tripoli, Libya, in a Blériot XI monoplane.
How many ww1 planes are left?
Of the 55,000 planes that were manufactured by the Royal Army Corps (RAC) during WWI, only around 20 remain in airworthy condition.
How were planes used during ww1?
At the start of the First World War, aircraft like the B.E. 2 were primarily used for reconnaissance. Due to the static nature of trench warfare, aircraft were the only means of gathering information beyond enemy trenches, so they were essential for discovering where the enemy was based and what they were doing.
Who has the best planes in ww1?
While there are a number of contenders for the best Allied aircraft of the First World War, most aviation experts would agree that Germany’s Fokker D. VII was truly its best, despite having a relatively short wartime career.

BARREL Status Report #15 August 24, 2016
BARREL Status Report #15
August 24, 2016
Flight 4E was launched from Esrange on Aug. 24 at 17:24 UT and reached float altitude at around 19:30 UT. We lost GPS when the payload was at an altitude of 7.9 km. The symptoms are consistent with a disconnected GPS antenna. However, we do have GPS location and altitude from the SSC tracking system so this is a failure we can live with. It looks like geomagnetic activity has picked up with the arrival of a high speed stream from the sun. So, we’re hoping for a long flight to catch some of the activity!

Citing “breakthrough in size and affordability,” MSUA bestows 2011 Innovation Award on KVH and its mini-VSAT Broadband Network
The final countdown for today’s Ariane 5 flight with the Yahsat Y1A and Intelsat New Dawn telecommunications satellites is underway at Europe’s Spaceport. Liftoff of the heavy-lift vehicle is scheduled at the start of a launch window that opens at 6:45 p.m., local time in French Guiana.
Ariane 5’s payload lift performance for this mission is nearly 10,065 kg., which includes a mass of 8,965 kg. for its two satellite passengers, along with the associated integration hardware and the launcher’s SYLDA multi-payload dispenser system.
Data analysis is underway to determine the cause of an anomaly that interrupted the Ariane 5’s launch prior to liftoff with its Yahsat Y1A and Intelsat New Dawn satellites. The Ariane 5 and its two payloads switched to a safe mode on the launch pad.
While analyses are being performed to determine the anomaly – which was detected after startup of the cryogenic main engine, but before ignition of the two solid boosters – the Ariane 5 will be rolled back to the Spaceport’s Final Assembly Building, where it is to be returned to a flight-ready condition.
KVH DSP-3100 fiber optic gyros (FOGs) to provide optical and turret stabilization for vehicle-mounted weapon systems
The green light has been given for Wednesday’s Ariane 5 mission with the Yahsat Y1A and Intelsat New Dawn spacecraft. Its go-ahead followed today’s successful launch readiness review, which validated the status of Ariane 5 and its dual satellite payload, the launch infrastructure at Europe’s Spaceport, and the network of downrange tracking stations.
This authorization clears the way for Ariane 5’s rollout from its Final Assembly Building to the ELA-3 launch zone, which will take place tomorrow. Liftoff of the Ariane 5 is planned during a launch window that opens on March 30 at 6:45 p.m. local time in French Guiana.
The Ariane 5 for launch on March 30 is now complete following the integration of its Yahsat Y1A and Intelsat New Dawn satellite payloads.
This mission will be Arianespace’s second Ariane 5 flight of 2011.
Intelsat New Dawn is to provide supply critical communications infrastructure for African customers, while Yahsat Y1A will deliver customized relay services for the government and commercial sectors in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Southwest Asia.
The Intelsat New Dawn relay platform – which is the first-ever African private sector communications satellite – has been positioned atop Ariane 5’s core cryogenic stage, placing it as the lower passenger for Arianespace’s mission on March 30.
Intelsat New Dawn was developed to provide supply critical communications infrastructure for African customers, and will be launched along with Yahsat Y1A on another of Ariane 5’s dual-payload flights.
KVH selects maritime satellite communications industry expert with 11 years of experience to lead sales efforts throughout the Asia-Pacific region
Pre-launch checkout is continuing at the Spaceport in French Guiana for Intelsat New Dawn, which is one of two spacecraft passengers to be orbited on Arianespace’s next Ariane 5 mission, scheduled for March 29. Produced by Orbital Sciences Corporation in Dulles, Virginia, Intelsat New Dawn is equipped with 28 C-band and 24 Ku-band 36 MHz transponders designed specifically to supply critical communications infrastructure for African customers. After its deployment by Ariane 5, the satellite will be positioned at a geostationary orbital slot at 32.8° East for its Africa area coverage.
ARSAT has selected Arianespace to launch its second satellite, Arsat-2. With a liftoff mass of about 2,900 kg., this spacecraft will be placed into geostationary transfer orbit by an Ariane 5 or Soyuz launcher operated from the Spaceport in French Guiana. To be fitted with 26 Ku-band (2 beams) and 10 C-band (hemi beam) equivalent transponders, Arsat-2 will offer a wide range of telecommunications, data transmission, Internet and television services – primarily across the Americas from Argentina to Canada.

Not only do these opportunities allow you to see all that our facilities have to offer, they help you experience the close-knit community our students enjoy.We look forward to meeting you face to face, introducing you to teachers and school leaders, and allowing you to explore our beautiful campus.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO VISIT US:
- Open House Events: Our Open House events (occurring each fall and winter) allow parents to hear from our administrators, explore our facilities, and see firsthand if Millwood School is a good fit for their family.
- Private Tours: We happily offer personal tours of Millwood throughout the school year and summer months. This is a vital step in the admissions process and gives you an opportunity to experience how our learning environment is different.
- Student Day Visits: Student shadowing is a great way for your child to become familiar with Millwood School before they even enroll! Prospective students are assigned a “buddy” at their grade level and spend the day by their side. Pre-admission testing is also completed during this time.
Our very own Claire Hollingsworth is doing such great things and was recently filmed in a recent “Science Matters” episode. Way to go Claire - keep up the good work. Check out the video below!
WALLOPS ISLAND — A spacecraft carrying 40 mice, two flying robots and the dreams of hundreds of science students is flying to its scheduled rendezvous with the International Space Station after a flawless launch from a state-owned regional spaceport here on Wednesday afternoon.The Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft separated from the Antares rocket nine minutes after the 4:46 p.m. launch from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, based at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility on this barrier island along Virginia’s Eastern Shore. The spacecraft, named after U.S. astronaut Roger Chaffee, is scheduled to dock with the space station orbiting Earth early Friday.Before approaching the space station, Cygnus will deploy 63 miniature satellites, called ThinSats, that students in Virginia and other states helped to design for an inaugural experiment for bringing huge amounts of data from the Earth’s outer atmosphere into classrooms across the state and country.Earlier in the month, Millwood School middle school students traveling to this exact location and explored the region via scientificy and organic exploration!

CHC started following Greyhawk UAV missiles are controlled by the pilot. Not the gunner.
CHC posted a topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTINGWhen I use the UAV (greyhawk) the weapon/ammo is controlled by the pilot and not the gunner. While in the gunner position, I can only use the laser. How do I fix this? For those asking, yes I tried to cycle to a new weapon using "F". I also have the "dcons vehicle spawner mod" so do you think that its a mod issue and not a game issue? And if I spawn in a UAV using the zeus editor this problem doesnt exist. Only when using the mod. :)

In one case, American flew a plane with a broken emergency-evacuation slide for nearly three years.
A government watchdog said Friday that federal safety regulators routinely fail to ensure that American Airlines finds maintenance deficiencies when they are discovered.
The Department of Transportation Inspector General said that in some cases, the Federal Aviation Administration closed compliance cases before the US took steps to fix the problem.
The report raised questions about the FAA’s policy of relying on airline “safety management systems” to find and fix issues before they become a threat.
In one case, American flew a plane with a broken emergency-evacuation slide for nearly three years before telling the FAA.
In another, no risk assessment was performed for an aircraft that had engine bushings and improperly installed struts holding the engines. According to the report, the plane made 1,002 flights “in unfit condition”.
An FAA spokesman said the agency “agree with many of the recommendations in the report and is taking steps to address them.”
American said it is proud of its safety record and remains in constant contact with regulators, including the FAA, and welcomes their feedback.
|anchor||the protection||The last||Change||Change %|
|came||American Airlines Group, Inc.||19.15||-0.74||-3.72%|
“This has always been our vision: open, transparent communication and collaboration with our regulators and immediate action to address issues and ensure the continued safety of our airline and industry,” an airline spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “We plan to work with the FAA to ensure that we take affirmative action and to continually refine and improve our safety controls.”
The inspector general’s office said that in 171 of the 185 cases, FAA inspectors took the American word and accepted an airline analysis “that did not identify the true root cause of the problem.” In about two dozen cases, the FAA closed compliance cases before the US could fix the problems, the report said.
The report also noted that the FAA did not train inspectors to determine whether the US safety management system is effective. They are top-down systems that are supposed to help identify and fix potential security problems. The FAA required airlines to adopt such systems in 2018.
Airline vaccine mandates: how will the requirements affect holiday air travel?
American has approximately 9,000 certified mechanics and aircraft inspectors at stations in the US and around the world, with its largest maintenance base in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The FAA has about 60 inspectors in Texas and Pennsylvania to oversee US maintenance facilities. That ratio means the FAA relies heavily on an airline’s safety-management system to prevent unsafe planes from flying.
In 2015, the FAA shifted from implementing its own method of ensuring safety to working closely with airlines. In that time, the number of enforcement actions against the US decreased from 572 to 31. Events that were previously treated as enforcement matters were routinely classified as “compliance actions” in which the airline agrees to make changes.

American has not had a fatal accident since November 2001, but the inspector general said reports of potentially unsafe maintenance practices raised concerns about the airline’s FAA monitoring. In 2018, senior lawmakers on the House Transportation Committee asked the inspector general to review the FAA’s oversight of maintenance issues in the US.

Minor injuries in Mirabel kit plane mishap
Mirabel Quebec, seen in this Google maps image, was the scene of a minor kit plane accident Sunday.
Published Sunday, September 8, 2013 10:59PM EDT
Two people suffered injuries when their homebuilt aircraft suffered an accident on takeoff Sunday in Mirabel.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) is investigating the incident, according to senior investigator Denis Deroy.
Homebuilt aircraft, sometimes called kit planes, are usually hand-built from a set of directions and are considered airworthy if given a stamp of approval from Transport Canada.
They are less regulated than other types of aircraft, as annual inspectors are signed by the owners of the planes, according to Deroy.
Approved mechanics are not required to provide maintenance for kit planes.
In comparison, more conventional aircraft must be inspected by a qualified aircraft maintenance once a year.
One person died earlier this year in Quebec after a mishap in such a plane.

As 5G technology continues to evolve, it presents a range of potential benefits to the aviation industry. For example, the latest agreement between Inmarsat and Huawei on deploying 5G Aviation Hub equipment promises to revolutionise global aircraft operations.
Beyond enhancing current operations and helping streamline passenger experience, the two companies have identified other ways for aviation to take advantage of this technology. In this article, we will explore some of these potential benefits and look at how they would affect the world of aviation if implemented.
The main benefit that 5G will bring to aviation is higher speed data transfer rates. This means faster loading times for Internet applications, such as booking flights or accessing entertainment content. Airlines can also use this enhanced connectivity by leveraging real-time tracking and analytics for their fleet’s operations, improving efficiency and cost savings in fuel management, predictive maintenance scheduling and routing optimization. Additionally, inflight Wi-Fi could become more widely available due to increased access speeds on board aircrafts enabled by 5G technology. Finally, to further improve user experience, airlines could implement latency- free applications that enhance customer service with AI-powered chatbots or virtual assistants that proactively assist travellers throughout their journey.
Biden Hails 5G Wireless Deal
President Biden recently hailed a 5G wireless agreement between the US and the UK to avoid a looming aviation safety crisis. The 5G deal is expected to have far-reaching benefits in the world of aviation, with an improvement in communication, air traffic control, and other aspects of aviation security.
In this article, we’ll discuss the other potential benefits of the 5G deal to aviation.
Overview of the 5G Wireless Deal
The 5G Wireless Deal signed by the Biden administration recently is expected to open the aviation industry to powerful new technologies and give airlines and airports the resources they need to operate more efficiently. After months of negotiation, a deal has been struck that details how tech giants like Microsoft, Google and Amazon will supply 5G technology to be adopted on pilots, planes, uavs and airports. The technology will increase network speeds immensely, allowing for faster communication between aircraft and improved data analytics that can help optimise day-to-day operations.
Using this 5G technology, airlines can potentially reduce delays caused by weather or air traffic. When applied within a terminal, ultra low latency in the event of communications breakdowns ensures pilots can quickly establish contact with air traffic controllers to safely navigate disruptions. This could benefit commercial flights transporting passengers who travel at peak hours with high traffic density. Additionally, with improved data analysis from connected cockpit systems pilots can make more accurate decisions based on real-time conditions. At the same time, aircraft navigation information is relayed instantly between a pilot’s cockpit computer systems and ground control stations lowering risk of human error.
Overall this five-year agreement provides an opportunity for great gains in efficiency within the airline sector but only time will tell if it offers as much potential as advertised.
Benefits of the 5G Wireless Deal
The 5G Wireless Deal is a multi-million dollar agreement between the United States and several telecommunications companies to develop 5G networks with an incredible speed and connectivity, allowing for a whole range of services and applications. The agreement has been hailed as a major victory for the U.S. under the Biden Administration, particularly regarding its potential to revolutionise aviation.
Air traffic management is the first application that could benefit from this new wireless contract. With vast amounts of data available immediately across the globe, airlines can manage their operations more efficiently and accurately than ever before. This could result in better management of schedules and routes, improved safety due to awareness of possible airborne obstacles, and increased collaboration between countries to guarantee customer satisfaction and generate cost savings on fuel costs through more efficient routes being flown.
The agreement will also provide airlines access to dedicated virtual private networks (VPNs) that could allow aircrafts to securely connect with their operators or maintenance teams while transporting passengers overseas without any issues of internet outages or reduced speeds occurring during flights. In addition, this secure communication would ensure that pilots have direct contact with their ground personnel and respond in real-time during emergencies.
Finally, the agreement offers telecommunications companies access to additional frequencies for high-speed urban coverage, allowing for greater access points which can provide airports with essential services such as Wi-Fi connection, critical flight operations data transmissions from interconnected fleets of aircrafts, voice communication systems for cabin crew staff and encrypted payments via NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. All these benefits would result in smoother running flight operations at airports worldwide by creating seamless transitions during departures or arrivals at destinations across continents where other forms of reliable connection are unavailable – greatly improving customer service for airline staff when dealing with international passengers safely.
Biden hails 5G wireless deal averting aviation safety crisis
President Joe Biden recently hailed a 5G wireless deal that would avert the looming aviation safety crisis. The agreement between the Department of Transportation and the Federal Communications Commission will provide secure Wi-Fi access to reduce aviation safety risks associated with insecure technology.
In addition to averting risks, the 5G deal has opened the door for other potential benefits in the aviation industry.
The 5G wireless deal that has been recently proposed could bring wide-reaching impacts to the aviation industry in terms of improved connectivity, more accurate tracking and adjustments, and better customer experiences.
Improved Connectivity: With 5G comes the potential for improved communication between devices such as onboard aircraft and ground-based systems. Such an improvement would enable new services, improved data transfer rate for existing services, increase the accuracy of flight paths, enable faster airport turnaround times, faster communication between ground staff and aircrafts and faster data exchange between different service providers like those providing communication networks and navigation aids.
More Accurate Tracking & Adjustments: With 5G technologies such as edge computing, radio access technology (RAT) can be more granularly adjusted depending on conditions in certain areas (smooth winds v. turbulent wind conditions). This allows increased accuracy in tracking an aircraft’s position and performance adjustments based on weather or congestion conditions at a specific location to accommodate fluidity in flight paths for more efficient travel.
Better Customer Experience: The enhanced performance capabilities made possible by 5G will help improve the customer experience on board the plane and elsewhere around airports. This is due to increased coverage capabilities that lead to higher responsiveness from airline infrastructure such as Wi-Fi connections on board aircrafts or from airlines that have mobile applications allow customers to quickly manage their travel plans while they are still at the airport – leading to reduced wait times before boarding their flights or after arrival at their destination. Furthermore, 5G networks will build a solid foundation for developing useful initiatives such as self check-in kiosks within airports or enabling customers better control over their data should they choose to use them while they are flying or when they land at their destination airport.
The new 5G deal could enable vastly improved security when managing and monitoring passenger and aircraft safety. By implementing sophisticated surveillance technologies, airport authorities can create a stable and secure airspace by enabling real-time aircraft tracking and ensuring air traffic controllers have the most detailed traffic images to view potential risks or conflicts in the sky.
In addition, airport operators could use blockchain technology to keep digital records of all incoming aircraft movements and apply biometric facial recognition software for quicker boarding at security checkpoints. Finally, drone detection systems can help monitor airfields from any potential malicious threats from aerial devices.
The 5G deployment in aviation will bring enhanced safety features to aircrafts, such as greater situational awareness on the ground, improved communication between controllers and pilots, and a better understanding of air traffic flow. As 5G networks provide a more reliable connection to aircraft systems, it will help reduce pilot errors, or incidents caused by incorrect flight inputs. Additionally, its reliability would enable an enhanced visual warning system alerting pilots sooner and clearer when safety risks arise.
Furthermore, real-time data transmission back to the controller on ground operations like runway changes or weather updates could prompt faster response times when dealing with emergencies. The improved efficiencies offered with 5G technology presents great potential for better flight operations in terms of precision navigation along with advanced situational awareness capabilities. This new style of connected communication would add a layer of security while delivering far superior capacity to support navigation in complex situations.
The 5G connectivity deal could bring immense benefits to the aviation sector, since it will facilitate a secure and fast two-way communication between aircrafts and other interested parties. This will enable improved data exchange and consequently lead to higher efficiency in operations and navigation.
Airlines can capitalise on this enhanced data transfer capability for better decision making, resource allocation, flight planning, air traffic management (ATM), safety incidents tracking and even passenger experience tasks. This is because 5G technologies guarantee reliable real-time data connection with a much lower latency than previous generations of technology (3G or 4G). This means that airlines can have more accurate information in less time – all while significantly reducing costs associated with data transfer.
5G also promotes the concept of ‘Software Defined Networks’ (SDN), which allows airlines to automate network services more efficiently, including routing protocols and the configuration of the network service components. This improves overall performance as aviation crews do not need to manually adjust systems when they need maintenance or support updates. In addition, 5G promotes automated upgrades to system parameters such as aeroplane speed or altitude regulations that could further boost efficiency.
With increased reliability through reduced latency allowing for better decision making from fast tracked data exchange, combined with automated updates from SDN, airlines can expect greater efficiency in their operations by implementing a 5G network infrastructure in aviation.

Planck : end of an unrivaled scientific mission – Oct 23, 2013– Cannes, France (Techreleased) – The Planck satellite, part of the joint scientific mission, Herschel-Planck, with Thales Alenia Space as prime contractor, completed its mission today. A high-tech jewel, considered, with Herschel, one of the most complex satellites ever constructed in Europe, Planck was built by a Thales Alenia Space-led industrial team on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA). Herschel was launched on May 14, 2009 along with the Herschel satellite. This scientific observatory had a service life of nearly four and half years, that is 2.5 times its expected life time.
First European satellite dedicated to the cosmic microwave background (CMB), Planck studied this radiation by measuring temperatures fluctuations throughout the celestial sphere. The satellite’s large telescope captured radiation from deep space and sent it to two radio-detection assemblies that converted these signals into temperatures. These ultra-sensitive detectors were able to record differences in temperature from deep space down to a millionth of a degree! Planck could therefore take a snapshot of the Universe as it was just 380,000 years after the Big Bang, some 14 billion years ago.
The spacecraft scanned 5 times in succession the entire sky, with the ability to discern fine details and a temperature sensitivity far superior to all of its predecessors. Planck carried a telescope fitted with a primary mirror 1.5 meters in diameter, as well as two instruments developed by astronomers and scientists from throughout Europe, grouped in two consortiums :
– LFI (Low Frequency Instrument), an instrument operating in the microwave band, developed by an Italian-led team.
– HFI (High Frequency Instrument), an instrument operating in the submillimetric band, developed by a French-led team, with detectors cooled down to 0.1K – one-tenth of a degree above absolute zero (-273.15°C).
“The Planck satellite has perfectly performed its mission flawlessly, exceeding its initial technical specifications,” said Jean-Jacques Juillet, Director of European Programs at Thales Alenia Space. “We are delighted to have successfully completed this very ambitious mission, still unprecedented to date, as was Herschel. Our next challenge will be the two Exomars missions (2016 and 2018), featuring a probe that will take samples up to 2 meters deep in the Martian soil – a world first at this depth.”

Alice Springs welcomes kaleidoscope of aircraft
Like a good wine, Tom Vincent’s idea to set up Australia’s first aircraft storage facility in Alice Springs has taken time to mature but it is now hitting its stride.
The Asia Pacific Aircraft Storage (APAS) chief executive came up with the idea in 2009 and it took another decade to set up the facility and progressively get in place the most important approvals from authorities such as the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the US Federal Aviation Administration.
But with those approvals and more under its belt, APAS is now in a key position to help airlines looking to park planes because of the devastating impact of COVID-19.
Alice Springs Airport has found itself receiving a kaleidoscope of aircraft types ranging from Airbus A380 superjumbos to ATR turboprops from customers that include blue-chip carriers such as Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific.
Vincent says the facility, one of its type worldwide, had seen 50 to 60 aircraft come in and out of storage prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It had entered 2019 expecting an influx of Boeing 737NGs but this all changed when the grounding of the 737 MAX meant airlines needed to keep the older planes in service.
The result was a quiet three months prior to the arrival of MAX aircraft from SilkAir and Fiji Airways.
“There was quite a process there to get them ferried into Alice,’’ Vincent recalls.
“Then towards the end of last year we saw the demand increasing significantly for storage, particularly for widebody aircraft like the (Boeing) 777-200s, the (Airbus) 330s.
“That had already triggered our investment decision for stage two, so that was going to lift our capacity from 25 to 50 or 60 aircraft.
“And then in March, we started seeing coronavirus causing so many issues for the industry.”
The pandemic prompted a period of “pretty incredible growth” and prompted APAS to move straight from stage two of its expansion plan to stage three.
That was completed on April 11 and the company is now moving into stage four.
“Today we have 72 aircraft on the ground,’’ says Vincent. “We’ll have 96 by the end of September and we’re pushing ahead and forecasting 150 plus by late November.”
A commercial lawyer by training, Vincent has always been fascinated by aviation and had decided to return to Australia in 2009 after working for Deutsche Bank (Distressed Products Group) in the UK.
The idea to create an aircraft storage facility to compete against the famous sites on the US West Coast came as he was learning to fly.
He reasoned that, like California, Australia’s dry climate lent itself to aircraft storage — humidity and corrosion are the enemies of aircraft — and it had the added advantage of being close to the rapidly expanding aviation markets of Asia.
The desert town of Alice Springs, just five hours flying time from Singapore, ticked the boxes as a prospective site.
Infrastructure at the central Australian airport infrastructure included a runway long and robust enough to handle widebody aircraft as well as a fuel farm, a Cat 1 Instrument Landing System and emergency services.
Deciding on a site proved the start of a long and involved process that included lease negotiations with the airport’s owner, pavement engineering, capital raising and construction.
There was also the need to get the maintenance approvals to service the aircraft while they were on the ground in Alice Springs.
“So you have the facility but most critically there’s the maintenance capability to support the aircraft in storage,’’ Vincent says.
“Most people have a misconception that you just park aircraft and they sit dormant when that’s far from the truth.
“There’s a pretty intensive induction program and then periodic maintenance on aircraft after storage as well as a significant return-to-service process.”
For an arriving aircraft, this means servicing the fuel and oil systems in the engines, adding desiccant and sealing them for up to a year.
“We do a full lubrication, so that’s all the flight controls, landing gear and typically, the wheel bearings are all repacked,’’ Vincent explains. “We do chlorination of all the potable water, different avionic system checks.
“There’s a big close-up of the aircraft — typically the pitot static systems, open ports, parts on the fuselage, the wing, the vertical and horizontal stabilisers, covering all windows — and cabin protection.
“So there’s a huge amount of work that gets undertaken on the aircraft in the first one to two weeks.”
Nor does the work stop there: there are also regular checks that need to be done in accordance with aircraft maintenance manuals (AMM).
These include flight control tests, lubrication of flight surfaces, landing gear and wheels as well as moving and powering up the aircraft from a ground unit.
“Periodic checks are every week basically, but they escalate,’’ says Vincent.
“So for Boeing aircraft, that involves 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 180 and 365 days. And when you do a check you do all the lesser checks. For instance, at 180 days you’ll do a 180, a 90, a 60, a 30, a 14 and a seven-day check.”
APAS does the aircraft maintenance in house through a Part 145 Group, Aerotech Aviation, under the approvals from EASA, CASA and the FAA as well as those from jurisdictions such as Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand.
It currently employs about 65 people and expects its workforce to grow as more aircraft head in.
Vincent recalls the long process involved in obtaining the approvals.
“We obtained our CASA approvals back in 2014 and then we lodged our EASA and FAA 145 approvals in October-November 2015,’’ he says.
“We managed to get EASA approval by March 2016 and it wasn’t until January 2018 that we got FAA.
“The FAA took so long due to a backlog because they actually had moratorium on foreign repair stations. That was lifted and they had to work their way through.
“We’ve added regulatory approvals over time but certainly we have a pretty extensive PART 145 approval scope.”
The range of those approvals can be seen in the aircraft parked at the facility. Joining the seven giant A380s and 737 MAX planes are Fokker 100s as well as members of Boeing 777, Airbus A330 and A320 families.
The parked aircraft are becoming something of sightseeing drawcard for locals driving along the airport perimeter, with the arrival of the A380s particularly notable.
“People had always talked about the runway being capable, but it had never seen one, even in a diversion scenario,’’ Vincent recalls. “it was interesting day seeing those arrive.”
APAS has parted out two aircraft and while Vincent says the company has an appetite to eventually enter that business, he notes the current situation means the parts business is suffering from falling demand and price disruption.
Instead, he says, APAS for now is solely focussed on storage and maintenance.
This will include at some point the significant job of returning aircraft to service, with the 737 MAXs likely to be early contenders as the type gets recertified and airlines move to bring their most efficient aircraft back into service.
“it’s big job,’’ he says. “We have, again prescribed by the maintenance manual, a program that we run.
“Depending on how long they’ve been in storage, there are always going to defects that arise and we work through those and clear them to eventually get an aircraft to a point where we can ferry it back.”

On March 15, 1962, Guam International Flight Service Station attempted to make radio contact with an outbound aircraft that had left several hours ago. The operator received no response. The plane in question was carrying troops to Vietnam. What could have happened to it?
The US military had chartered a plane from the Flying Tiger Line to transport Army Rangers and Vietnamese soldiers to Saigon. It would be a long flight with several stops to refuel. It was during the leg between Guam and the Philippines that contact with the aircraft was lost.
When the plane disappeared it triggered what was at that point the largest search and rescue operation in history. Theories abounded about exactly what could have happened. There was a thorough investigation, but many questions remain over Flying Tiger Line Flight 739 and its passengers and crew.
There have been many famous airplane disappearances over the years. For instance, Amelia Earhart was the first woman pilot to traverse the skies over the Atlantic and became one of the most famous flyers in history. Yet she vanished without a trace on an attempted round-the-world flight in 1937. It’s now more than 80 years later but her fate, and that of her navigator Frederick J. Noonan, is still unknown.
Another famous disappearance was the plane carrying musician and bandleader Glenn Miller in 1944. More recently, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 made headlines around the world in 2014 when it vanished flying between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing. The scale of the hunt for the missing plane reminded some of the long-ago search for Flying Tiger Line Flight 739.
The Flying Tiger Line was the first airline in the US to run scheduled flights for cargo, using planes bought from the U.S. Navy. The pilots and ground crew of the fledgling service couldn’t afford to launch an airline on their own. Happily however, oil magnate Samuel B. Mosher stepped in to match their investment and get the airline off the ground.
The Flying Tiger Line took its name from a unit of fighter jets in the Second World War. Flying Tiger pilots were a mixture of Army, Navy and Marine Corps personnel who rapidly became famous for the shark-face motifs that adorned the noses of their aircraft. And when 10 pilots from this outfit set up the cargo business after the war, the name came with them.
Although initially Flying Tiger Line’s main business was flying cargo domestically across America, it also made some longer flights. US troops were still occupying Japan, so the firm began to fly trans-Pacific routes to deliver supplies. The plane used on the fateful trip in March 1962 was a Lockheed Super Constellation.
Flying Tiger Line had owned the four-engine plane since 1957 and it had flown over 17,000 hours with no problems. It was just over 113 feet long and had a wingspan of 123 feet. When empty, it weighed about 73,000 pounds, but it could bear almost its own weight again in cargo. On the day it vanished, it was carrying 25,552 pounds of gasoline.
During a normal flight the plane would travel at about 260 knots – roughly 300 mph. It could go quicker if it was flying under 11,000 feet in altitude, and it could reach a maximum height of 25,000 feet. The longest non-stop journey it was able to make was 4,140 miles.
By 1962, Flying Tiger Line had been running for nearly 20 years. On March 14, one of its planes took off from Travis Air Force Base in California, bound for Saigon in Vietnam. The routine long-haul flight would require several fuel stops en route, namely in Honolulu, Wake Island, Guam and the Philippines.
Flying Tiger Line Flight 739 was a Lockheed Super Constellation with room for up to 106 passengers. On the day in question, 96 people were traveling alongside the two flight crews and four members of the cabin crew. The flight crews included the Captain, First Officer and Second Officer as well as two navigators and a pair of engineers.
The 48-year-old captain, Gregory P. Thomas, had a reputation as a “colorful and heroic flyer”. Of his impressive 19,500 hours in the air, 3,562 were in a Lockheed L-1049H. He’d worked for the Flying Tiger Line since 1950 and had his Airline Transport Pilot Certificate. Overall, he was an experienced and well-qualified pilot.
His First Officer, Robert J. Wish, was also aged 48. His flight hours were slightly fewer than the captain’s (17,500 with 3,374 on the Lockheed), but he was still an experienced flyer who had worked for Flying Tiger Line since 1951. While the captain lived in New Jersey, he was based in California.
The Second Officer was 39-year-old Robbie J. Gayzaway (sometimes spelled Gazaway or Gazzaway). Another Californian, he’d been working for Flying Tiger since 1953. Of his 5,000 hours, only 900 were in the Lockheed. He had his ATP certificate, but was not qualified on as many types of aircraft as his senior colleagues.
Both flight engineers also hailed from California. George Nau, aged 38, had started working for Flying Tiger in 1956. He had an F.A.A. Flight Engineer Certificate and 1,235 hours of experience in the Lockheed. His fellow engineer, Clayton E. McClellan, also had upwards of 1,000 hours’flight time in the aircraft.
William T. Kennedy and Grady Burt, Jr. were both navigators and had radio operator licenses as well as their navigator credentials. Kennedy was 45 and had begun working for Flying Tiger Line in 1962. Burt had been hired a year later, in 1963. The crew was completed by Senior Flight Attendant Barbara Walmsley, and her fellow cabin staff Patricia Wassum, Hildegard Muller and Christel Reiter.
The plane’s passengers weren’t just ordinary civilians. The aircraft had been chartered by the Military Air Transport Service and 93 of those on board were Army Rangers. They’d been specially trained in the jungle and most were experts in communications and electronics. In addition, there were three Vietnamese service personnel.
The ill-fated flight left Travis Air Force Base at 05.45 GMT on March 14. At first, everything went like clockwork. The plane reached Honolulu as planned at 17.44 GMT. There was a slight hold-up while on-board rest facilities were checked after concerns were raised by the crew, but at 20.40 GMT they were in the sky again. There were absolutely no concerns over the aircraft’s fitness to fly.
With the flight still proceeding as expected, the plane continued to Wake Island. After landing at 03.54 GMT on March 15, a new cabin crew replaced the original four and the aircraft was serviced. Again, only minor maintenance was carried out. And when the plane reached Guam at 11.14 GMT the plane needed nothing more than servicing and refuelling before continuing on its journey.
The next stop on the journey was meant to be the Philippines. The plane would need about six and a third hours for this leg and as it had fuel for over nine hours of flying, that shouldn’t have been a problem. Traffic controllers established radar contact with Flight 739 soon after take-off, so things still looked okay.
There was one strange moment at 13.25 GMT. The plane radioed back to Guam to say it wanted to raise the height at which it was flying, but no reason was given. It got permission to climb from 10,000 feet to 18,000 feet. A few minutes later, the plane was out of range of Guam’s radar and continuing on its journey. By 13.33, it radioed its position as 100 miles distant.
Another transmission was received at 14.22 GMT and everything still appeared in order. There was still plenty of fuel. The crew told Guam that they were still at flying 18,000 feet and above the cloud cover. They stated their current position and gave an estimate for the time they would arrive at Clark Air Force Base. That ETA was 19.16. It was the last contact anyone would have with the plane.
Later that day, Guam International Flight Service Station started having trouble with its radio transmissions. It wasn’t when talking to Flight 739. It was communicating with a different plane that was on its way to Okinawa in Japan, but there was heavy static over the airwaves. Then, when the operator tried to contact Flight 739 for an overdue status report, it received no response at all.
It was at 16.00 GMT that the first stage of emergency procedures was instigated. INCERFA, or a state of uncertainty, was declared. It meant that worries about the plane and the people on board were official, but not yet serious. Further attempts were made to contact Flight 739 but they continued to be unsuccessful.
The INCERFA status was upgraded to ALERFA, or an alert phase, at 16.33 GMT. Worries continued to rise, and with no further news at 19.33 DETRESFA was declared. This distress phase meant the missing plane and its passengers and crew were in immediate and severe danger. Search teams were launched from both Guam and the Philippines.
The initial search found nothing, but the authorities were contacted by a supertanker at 21.05 GMT. Its crew had spotted something strange back at 15.30 (01.30 on March 16 local time). The sky had been mostly clear and the moon bright when a vapor trail appeared in the sky. This was followed by an “intensely luminous” explosion behind clouds.
According to the descriptions of the ship’s crew, the explosion had come in two flashes that only lasted a couple of seconds each. A reddish-orange rim had surrounded a bright white center. Further trails of reddish-orange had expanded outwards. As the crew watched, two differently-sized objects appeared to fall burning into the sea.
Looking at the ship’s radar, one of the crew members saw it marking a target 17 miles away. When the captain reached the bridge in time to see the second object fall, he made note of where it was relative to a star. The ship had the information it needed to head towards the source of the explosion.
Except when they reached the supposed site of origin, they found nothing but empty sea. The tanker spent more than five hours searching the area and didn’t even find debris. With no radio contact with either Guam or Manila, they decided to write it off as some kind of military exercise. The tanker moved on with its scheduled journey.
Later, it was calculated that the explosion would have been roughly where Flight 739 had been, but that still didn’t help find it. The plane simply could not be located. It was officially declared lost at 22.27 GMT, the point at which it would have had no fuel left. There was still no shred of evidence of either the aircraft or its crew.
During the search, 1,300 people, 8 surface vessels and 48 aircraft together covered 144,000 square miles of territory. The searchers spent 3,417 hours in the air, flying 377 separate sorties. In its day, it represented the most extensive search ever conducted in aviation history.
Investigators still wanted to figure out happened to the plane, but there was no conclusive evidence. The only quirk in its history had been a brief power loss a few weeks previously more than three hours into a flight, but the single engine affected was soon fixed. There had been no problems on the day of the plane’s final flight, and it had been certified safe.
With mechanical failure seeming unlikely, a new theory became popular. Many people began to believe the plane must have been sabotaged, and the idea was not implausible. Flight 739 had stopped at Honolulu, Wake Island and Guam, all of which had low runway security. It would have been relatively easy for an outsider to access the plane.
If someone had snuck aboard to sabotage the plane, it was probably at Guam. Not only did the airfield reportedly lack much security but it was said the plane had been left unattended. Lighting around the aircraft was also described as poor. Given the accounts of an explosion on the plane’s predicted flight path, foul play seemed a credible explanation.
According to an executive vice president of Flying Tiger Line at the time, the only certainty was that something violent must have caused any explosion on the otherwise safe Lockheed Super Constellation. Additionally, it was likely that whatever occurred, happened quickly. If not, the crew could have radioed for help.
It wasn’t a good day for Flying Tiger Lines. Flight 739 was not the only plane to be lost in mid-March, and that seemed a suspiciously large coincidence to those who suspected sabotage. The second plane was also a Lockheed Super Constellation, and it also had taken off from Travis Air Force Base on March 14. According to some, its cargo was some kind of military secret.
Captain Morgan W. Hughes was piloting N6911C from Travis Air Base to Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan. It was due to land on Adak Island, in the Aleutian Islands off Alaska, but something went wrong. Its runway approach was too low and the seven separate warnings given by air traffic controllers were ignored.
The plane was just over 300 feet short of the runway when its wheels struck rocks. It skidded along the runway for 2,000 feet, catching fire as it slewed to a halt. Flight engineer James M. Johnson was killed and six other crew members were injured. The crash was later blamed on “misjudgement of distance and altitude.”
To this day, however, the fate of Flight 739 is still considered a mystery. The Civil Aeronautics Board concluded that the explosion seen by the supertanker was probably the plane, but that doesn’t explain how or why it happened. With no wreckage to examine to prove theories of failure or sabotage, the episode seems destined to remain an enigma.

Long before the Wright Brothers were even born, man has been trying to take to the air. One such lesser-known flight pioneer was Brother Eilmer. Eilmer was a monk from Malmesbury Abbey, England when he made an early attempt at flying in 1010 AD.
An account of the event can still be found in William of Malmesbury’s book Gesta Regum Anglorum.
It is said that he was inspired by the legend of Icarus to build a basic glider and attempt to fly. His glider was built from a wooden frame and either linen or parchment.
He would later launch himself from about 18 meters above ground level, glided 200 meters and subsequently panicked and crashed, breaking both his legs.
He returned to the drawing board and planned his next flight only to halted by an embargo from his Abbot to stop any further attempts.
Brother Eilmer’s desire to fly, and others that followed him, like the Ottoman Celebi to the great Leonardo da Vinci, would drive our understanding of flight and aerodynamics.

The aircraft design process is a loosely defined method used to balance many competing and demanding requirements to produce an aircraft that is strong, lightweight, economical, and can carry an adequate payload while being sufficiently reliable to safely fly for the design life of the aircraft. The requirements used to guide the design of a new aircraft are established either by an emerging need or by the possibilities offered by some new technical concept or invention. Designing an aircraft is generally divided into three distinct phases: conceptual design, preliminary design, and detail design.
The aircraft design online skills test has a unique set of questions. You can also create or ask us to create a customized test that includes questions specific to your job requirement.

Student pilots will operate a variety of aircraft to obtain and further their flight knowledge. Safe operation of an aircraft involves a pilot’s ability to understand flight instruments and to recognize what to do if they aren’t working properly. Let’s take a look at the standard flight instruments that make up a plane’s six pack and determine how they’re used in the air.
The Six Pack: Basic Flight Instruments
The “six pack” references the six main flight instruments in a cockpit, displayed with three instruments stacked on top of three other instruments. While three of the six instruments belong to the plane’s Pitot-Static Pressure System, the other three are considered Gyroscope Instruments. It’s essential for pilots to know what each of these instruments are and how to read them properly as they soar through the sky.
Pitot-Static Flight Instruments
The pitot-static flight instruments are sensitive to pressure from the plane’s motion through the air and are attached to the pitot-static system of the aircraft.
- Airspeed Indicator
An airspeed indicator measures an airplane’s airspeed. As your airspeed changes, the needle on the indicator’s dial moves to match the airspeed. Essentially, the airspeed indicator works by moving air pressure from the pitot tube to static pressure from one or more static ports. These indicators are color-coded so that a pilot can recognize its operating range. Green signifies normal operating range, white indicates the flap operating range in which flaps can be utilized safely, yellow for caution range and a red line shows the maximum speed that may not be exceeded.
An altimeter measures the aircraft’s height above mean sea level (MSL), which is corrected for atmospheric differences. Sealed aneroid wafers, or disk-shaped capsules, are the main components in an altimeter. These wafers enlarge and contract according to changes in static pressure, similar to a barometer. Higher pressure causes the wafers to collapse, while a lower pressure expands the wafers. Compressed wafers show a decrease in altitude and expanded wafers show an increase in altitude. These actions allow the needles on the altimeter’s face to move, which is what the pilot reads. The altimeter has two pointers on its face. Reading the altimeter like a clock, the shortest needle, or the “hour” hand, represents 1,000 feet and the long pointer, or “minute” hand, exemplifies 100 feet. As an example, 5,500 feet is represented as the short needle between 5 and 6 and the long pointer on 5.
- Vertical Speed Indicator
The vertical speed instrument determines the rate of an aircraft’s climb or descent, measured in feet per minute (fpm). This indicator measures and compares static pressure inside of a diaphragm, which changes as the aircraft climbs or descends. The pressure difference is linked to the needle on the face of the indicator, which moves up with climb and down with descent. If a pitch is held constant, the pointer will stabilize and display the rate of climb in hundreds of fpm.
Gyroscope instruments are either vacuum, electric or pressure powered.
- Attitude Indicator
Using an attitude indicator, an aviator can determine if the aircraft is descending, climbing, straight and level or turning. It shows changes in pitch and bank attitude. The attitude indicator shows a depiction of an airplane in level flight that corresponds with the aircraft’s movement and displays its relation to the horizon. Most indicators will have bank increments of 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees. The center of the depiction represents an aircraft’s pitch and will move accordingly.
- Heading Indicator
The heading indicator uses a rotating gyro which informs the pilot of an aircraft’s direction, similar to a magnetic compass. The indicator displays headings based on a 360-degree azimuth. An image of a small aircraft is centered on this instrument and turns with the motion of the plane.
- Turn Coordinator
During a turn, an airplane will roll and yaw at the same time, which is why a turn coordinator is important. A turn coordinator displays initial roll rate and then turn rate when a roll is stabilized. A small airplane depiction is also shown on these flight instruments, displaying rolls along with the plane’s movement to show the turn direction. A small ball underneath the airplane depiction moves along with the yaw of the airplane in an inclinometer or “balance indicator”. When rolling in or out of a turn, the small airplane banks in the direction the plane rolls.
Having knowledge of each of the flight instruments in a six pack makes for a well-rounded, prepared pilot.
Flight Training in the Six Pack
Throughout the PPL Course at AeroGuard, students utilize Piper Archer planes equipped with six pack flight instruments. Utilization of the six pack flight instruments helps create a strong foundation for pilots in training, as they’ll build upon their knowledge and will progress to G-1000 aircraft later in their training.

The street on which he grew up in Denison was named after his mother's family, the Hannas.
According to his sister, Sullenberger built model planes and aircraft carriers during his childhood, and says he became interested in flying after seeing military jets from an Air Force base near his house.
After earning his wings in 1975 as a USAF Pilot, he completed replacement training in the F-4 Phantom II at Luke AFB, Arizona.
This was followed by his assignment to the 493d Tactical Fighter Squadron of 48th Tactical Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom, where he flew as a United States Air Force fighter pilot in the F-4D Phantom II.
He served as the co-chairman, along with First Officer Jeffrey Skiles, of the EAA's Young Eagles youth introduction-to-aviation program from 2009 to 2013.
He is the co-author, with Jeffrey Zaslow, of the New York Times bestseller Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters, a memoir of his life and of the events surrounding Flight 1549, published in 2009 by Harper Collins.
At 16, Sullenberger learned to fly in an Aeronca 7DC from a private airstrip near his home. Air Force Academy, Sullenberger also holds a Master's degree in Industrial Psychology from Purdue University and a master's degree in Public Administration from the University of Northern Colorado.
He said the training he received from a local flight instructor grounded his aviation career for the rest of his life. Sullenberger was appointed to the United States Air Force Academy, entering with the Class of 1973 in June 1969.He was a featured speaker for two panels, one on aviation and one on patient safety in medicine, at the High Reliability Organizations (HRO) 2007 International Conference in Deauville, France, from May 29 to 31, 2007.He also said: "One way of looking at this might be that for 42 years, I've been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience, education and training.On January 16, 2009, the United States Senate passed a resolution recognizing and honoring Sullenberger, Skiles, the cabin crew, the passengers, and the first responders involved in Flight 1549's emergency landing.A library book, Just Culture: Balancing Safety and Accountability was in Sullenberger's luggage left behind in the cockpit.And on January 15 the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal." because the normal procedures for engine loss are designed for cruising altitudes, not immediately after takeoff.

This was the first military airfield established in Panama to protect the Panama Canal, with an emergency appropriation of $1,000,000 by Congress. A swamp area known as "Coco Walk" became a landing ground was initially built during March 1918 and known as "Coco Walk Aerodrome". Later, NAS pan was established on the northern shore.
Renamed "France Field" in honor of 1st Lt. Howard J. France who died in a hydroplane crash on April 24, 1918 on Gatun Lake (Ga-toon), the first U. S. Army pilot killed in the Canal Zone.
On August 5, 1938 U. S. President F. D. Roosevelt disembarked USS Houston (CA-30) toured by automobile France Field plus the Naval Air Station, Submarine Base. At France Field, Roosevelt inspected the airmen of the 7th Reconnaissance Squadron and watched a flying display. An Air Corps newsletter recorded the visit: "...the spontaneous cheer from the throats of 600 France Field airmen touched a note that he will remember."
During late January 1939,
XB-15 35-277 landed at France Field as its first stop during its first overseas flight from the United States to deliver medical supplies to Santiago, Chile. After refueling, took off again and flew southward to r Lima, Peru where it made its second stop before reaching its final destination of Santiago, Chile.
During World War II, the mission of the units at France Field consisted of the protection of the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal, and to fly antisubmarine missions over the Caribbean During the war, known as APO 831.

According to a recent announcement from IBM, as reported by TechHQ, open-source AI is being employed to solve problems in outer space, tackling issues relating to space junk and satellite communication.
IBM has been creating computer technology to drive space exploration and communication ever since the 1940s, but now IBM will be using artificial intelligence to handle those tasks. IBM is working on two different space-related projects: KubeSat and SSA (Space Situational Awareness). KubeSat is intended to enable the creation and control of tasks for satellite swarms, while SSA is intended to track the position of space junk in Low Earth Orbit.
The two projects were recently unveiled by the Space Tech Hub Team at IBM. The leader of the space tech team is Naeem Altaf, and according to Altaf the KubeSat project is an autonomous framework that provides the tools needed to create and manage tasks for satellite swarms and constellations. Beyond this, the KubeSat framework can simulate communications between satellites, helping engineers optimize these communications.
As more and more satellites are launched, communication between the satellites becomes increasingly complex, needing to be automated and optimized. The framework employs machine learning algorithms to optimize communications between satellites, placing restrictions on communications between certain satellites. KubeSat could be used to simulate how cube satellites interact with ground stations even as automated communications occur between swarms. The communications are published on a web dashboard for others to see. KubeSat runs its simulations through Orekit, which is a dynamic library created in Java.
The KubeSat project was made open source in the hope that the satellite swarm industry could be democratized, enabling startups and swarm operators to make use of the emerging technology.
The SSA project is the result of a collaboration between the IBM Space Tech Hub team and Dr. Moriba Jah of the University of Texas. The goal is that the AI models can improve orbit predictions for objects in Low Earth Orbit. Low Earth Orbit is full of space debris, much of which are artifacts leftover from rocket launches, or decayed satellites. These objects orbit the Earth moving at thousands of meters per second and their trajectories can be suddenly altered by fluctuations in atmospheric weather and density. The orbit of these objects needs to be predicted, so that collisions between space debris and important space tech devices don’t occur. It's hoped that AI models can improve the orbit predictions.
The SSA models were trained based on data collated by the United States Strategic Command. The dataset is updated once every day. A physics model is used to generate initial predictions about the orbit of most objects in Low Earth Orbit, and a machine learning model is then used to predict errors in the physics models. The SSA combines the two models together to update the physical orbit model. The second model is a gradient boosting model based on XGBoost.
Much like KubeSat, the SSA models were made open-source in an attempt to encourage data sharing and collaboration between different space companies and tech companies. After all, satellite communication problems and space junk are a threat to everyone operating in space.
Both KubeSat and OpenShift have been made available through IBM’s Red Hat OpenShift platform.

Torque Pressure Indicator, Dual Engine, AJ SAVAGE Bendix
This instrument was used in the Korean War-era North American AJ-1 Savage Dual Engine Turbojet Bomber. This is an authentic vintage Dual Torque Pressure Indicator, Magnesyn Style, type A-5 made by Bendix, marked Air Force US Army. The first flight of the AJ-1 Savage was in mid 1948, so that may explain why this instrument had AF USARMY on its face... i.e., it was still in design and components in production in 1947 when AF USARMY became the US Air Force. (See photos in the gallery from the US Air Force AJ-1 Savage Flight Manual dated 1949 showing the location of this instrument and a description of its function). Interestingly, the AJ-1 was primarily a USN carrier-based aircraft, see below.
From our all-knowing friends at Wikipedia:
The North American AJ Savage (later A-2 Savage) was a carrier-based medium bomber built for the United States Navy by North American Aviation. The aircraft was designed shortly after World War II to carry atomic bombs and this meant that the bomber was the heaviest aircraft thus far designed to operate from an aircraft carrier. It was powered by two piston engines and a turbojet buried in the rear fuselage. The AJ-1 first became operational in 1950 and several were based in South Korea during 1953 as a deterrent against the Communists. Of the 140 built, plus three prototypes, 30 were reconnaissance aircraft. Inflight-refueling equipment was deployed on the Savage in the mid-1950s. The bomber was replaced by the Douglas A3D Skywarrior beginning in 1957.Each dial indicates torque pressure ranging from 50 to 400 PSI. On the face of the instrument is embossed "A.F. U.S.ARMY" (see close up photo in gallery). This instrument is in terrific shape for its age. The dial markings are clear and the glass and cases are intact. The glass has a little haze on the inside face, but could be opened and polished.

US fighter jets intercepted four Russian reconnaissance planes Saturday near Alaska, CNN reported. Officials said the "Tu-142s came within 65 nautical miles south of the Alaskan Aleutian island chain and loitered in the ADIZ for almost eight hours", though they did not at any time enter USA or Canadian airspace.
Saturday's intercept follows similar encounters earlier this month in which US F-22 jets intercepted Russian nuclear-capable bombers near Alaska on three separate occasions.
NORAD F-22 fighter jets intercepted four Russian Tu-142 planes flying 65 nautical miles south of the Alaskan Aleutian islands Saturday, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).More news: Microsoft will close nearly all of its retail stores
"Despite COVID-19, we remain fully prepared and able to carry out our national defense mission without fail", he said.
The intercept Wednesday off Alaska was the ninth in 2020 and the fifth in June, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command, which guards USA and Canadian airspace.
The Russian aircraft did not enter U.S. or Canadian sovereign airspace, NORAD said. On June 19, Russian Federation scrambled fighter jets to intercept two US B-52 bombers flying over the Sea of Okhotsk, off Russia's far eastern coast, the Interfax news agency reported.More news: CanSino's COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Approved For Military Use In China
No one was immediately available at the Pentagon or U.S. European Command for comment. Last Thursday, NORAD intercepted Russian maritime patrol aircraft in the same area.
This is the second time Russian Federation has intercepted US spy aircraft in a month in the Black Sea region, which is a great distance from the country's border.

Secret PAN satellite leads Cape milspace launch surge
BY CRAIG COVAULT
Posted: May 26, 2009
A new military satellite so highly classified the U.S. government will not even divulge which military or intelligence agency owns it is undergoing final checkout for liftoff this summer at Cape Canaveral.
The satellite weighs at least two tons and is code named "PAN."
United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, had reserved July 17 for the Atlas 5 mission. However, the flight is expected to be pushed back at least a few weeks due to delays encountered on Atlas missions ahead of the PAN launch.
The Atlas 5 has routinely launches military payloads into geosynchronous transfer orbit, Molniya-type elliptical orbit or more circular medium altitude orbits. Which orbit PAN will use is not yet publicly known, but will be determined by civilian analysts after launch. The Atlas being used is a 401 version with no solid rocket boosters and a single-engine Centaur upper stage.
The mission is part of a surge in military spacecraft launch operations at Cape Canaveral, which has already launched three military flights in 2009. The Cape is to launch as many as five more during the second half of the year starting with PAN.
The late placement of PAN in the public schedule, minus any other information, could signal that the Defense Dept. and intelligence agencies are beginning to stiffen secrecy around the growing number of U.S. military space flights.
This increased U.S. milspace activity is occurring at a time the U.S. faces increased geopolitical and terrorist threats around the world.
New foreign military space programs, like China's, are also beginning to mature. Space intelligence demands are also growing rapidly in both Asia and the Middle East.
Military and intelligence rocket scheduling has been relatively open for most of the last 20 years at least relative to targeted launch date and mission ownership.
But the NRO and U.S. Air Force have for years also announced when their payloads are being launched.
The Defense Dept. acknowledges openly that the NRO manages imaging, signal intelligence, and ocean surveillance missions and their relay satellites.
The Air Force operates communications satellites and missile warning spacecraft.
In addition the Missile Defense Agency is openly launching new spacecraft to develop advanced warning sensors while the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is developing technologies that aid all of the agencies.
DARPA, based near Washington D.C., did employ extensive secrecy in its Mitex twin satellite mission launched from the Cape to directly inspect other satellites in geosynchronous orbit.
This is the most ambitious mission launched to date as part of a major new USAF space situational awareness program. Mitex, launched on a Delta 2, also employed an advanced solar array equipped upper stage developed by the Naval Research Laboratory. DARPA said before launch this flight would investigate new technologies‹but rendezvous operations in geosynchronous orbit were never mentioned.
During the 1960s and 1970s secret unmanned flights were often unannounced and in the mid 1980s, several military shuttle missions were launched with no identification of payload affiliation.
The Central Intelligence Agency has acknowledged in Congressional testimony that it is improving satellite communications with its covert agents. Whether that highly classified task is part of PAN's mission will never be discussed openly, but could fall in a mission class not directly involving the NRO or military services.
That has resulted in a major increase in U.S. military satellite launch operations at both Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg.
The Cape, and the adjoining Kennedy Space Center, will be extremely busy during the second half of 2009. Six missions have already been launched this year including two shuttle flights and the Kepler observatory satellite on a Delta 2. Three more shuttle flights are planned by years end.
Three military spacecraft have also been launched including USAF GPS, and Wideband Global Satcom missions, along with a massive NRO eavesdropping satellite launched in January on a Delta 4-Heavy.
The Atlas 5 will be used extensively during the second half of 2009, including for the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter flight planned for launch June 17 and the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory planned for October 14.
NASA also hopes its first unmanned Ares booster test by this summer or fall. NASA will also launch a new GOES geosynchronous weather satellite atop a Delta 4-Medium Plus launcher on June 26.
Military missions make up the largest mission share for the rest of the year, however.
Following PAN in the Cape's military launch schedule includes:

Ever wondered what customers order for delivery by drone? Walmart reveals the top items ordered for drone delivery by their customers in the six states offering the service so far.
Walmart was the first of the big retailers in the US to implement drone delivery. Operated by drone services providers including DroneUp, Flytrex, and Zipline, Walmart currently has drone delivery “hubs” in 36 stores located across 7 states. In 2022, the company executed more than 6,000 drone deliveries, which are executed in 30 minutes or less. While more than 20,000 items are offered for drone delivery service – and Walmart says that 85% of the products found at a Neighborhood Market meet the weight (10 pounds) and volume requirements to qualify.
Drone delivery in general has met with positive response in the communities that have access. After the initial novelty wears off, customers just want easy and convenient delivery to their doorsteps. But what exactly are the top items ordered for drone delivery?
Walmart says 5 customer favorites are:
- Great value cookies and cream ice cream
- 2-lb bags of lemons
- Rotisserie Chicken
- red bull
- Bounty Paper Towels
The drone delivery ecosystem is developing rapidly, and major service providers are establishing the standards for operations that may become as common as services like Uber Eats or GrubHub. The complex framework of regulations, hardware, software, pilot networks and licensing, ground and packaging infrastructure, communications technology, and inventory has reached a level of maturity that allowed wider implementations for Walmart in 2022 and put Amazon’s drones in the air in two test communities . 2023 could be the year that retail drone delivery moves out of the test case scenario and becomes fully integrated into the systems of last mile logistics.
Ordering items for drone delivery is easy for consumers already accustomed to digital purchases. For Walmart, customers order items on an app – and for a minimal delivery fee ($3.99) a drone flies to your location, lowers a package gently to the ground via a tether, and then flies off. It’s a safe, contactless, and ultra convenient service for last minute items or necessities for customers unable to get to the store.

In a statement, Southcom said the U.S. Navy EP-3 Aires II was flying in worldwide airspace off the coast of the South American nation on July 19 when it was approached in an "unprofessional manner" by a SU-30 Flanker Venezuelan fighter.
A Venezuelan Su-30 fighter "aggressively shadowed" an American spy plane over the Caribbean Sea, the USA military said, claiming the jet was at an "unsafe distance" and blaming Russian Federation for its "irresponsible" support for Caracas.
It happened Friday - the same day that the Trump administration announced it was sanctioning four top officials in Venezuela's military counterintelligence agency.
SOUTHCOM said that the U.S.

Téhéran nie cette accusation et dénonce un acte de " piraterie " envers le navire chargé de 2,1 millions de barils de brut. Face au regain de tensions dans la région, l'Arabie saoudite a décidé d'accueillir des forces américaines.
Venezuela identified the US plane as an EP-3E Aries II, which is a reconnaissance version of the P-3 Orion produced by Lockheed Martin Corp.
At 11.33 a.m. local time two Venezuelan fighter jets intercepted the aircraft and it was escorted out of Venezuela's airspace, the statement said.
Venezuelan defense officials sad the US aircraft entered local airspace over the Caribbean in a one-hour flight in breach of global treaties, until it was pursued by the Venezuelan air force.
The Venezuela SU-30 Flanker that "aggressively shadowed" a U.S. Navy EP-3 aircraft endangers and jeopardized the mission, according to U.S. military officials.

Venezuelan officials claimed the aircraft entered Venezuelan airspace without notification and was "a clear provocation" in addition to being in violation of worldwide treaties.
The flight created a safety risk for commercial aircraft in the vicinity of Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetia, Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino said on Twitter.
Does This Venezuelan Fighter Jet Get Aggressively Close to a US Navy Aircraft?
"This action demonstrates #Russia's irresponsible military support to Maduro's illegitimate regime & underscores Maduro's recklessness & irresponsible behavior, which undermines int'l rule of law & efforts to counter illicit trafficking", it tweeted.

Waited a while to get some decent weather conditions so today I finally flew my Bushmule. Nerve racking as always but I'm sooo happy that it's over with. Next flights will be great.
I set my timer to 4 minutes on the maiden flight. After checking the battery level, I would feel comfortable with adding 30 more seconds per flight.

An Instrument landing system (ILS) is equipment that utilizes an instrument-based navigation technique based on two radio beams that guide an aircraft landing on or approaching a runway. This combination of radio signals facilitate safe landings for pilots even during low-visibility conditions. As such, the ILS is an important part of keeping aircrew and passengers safe while on aircraft. With this in mind, this blog will cover how the ILS works, special features, and its importance.
The ILS provides aircraft with a recommended path to follow so that it maintains its horizontal position at the center of the runway while keeping an optimal vertical position necessary for smooth landing. As a result, the instrument landing system assembly consists of two subsystems.
The first is called the localizer (LOC) which provides lateral guidance, enabling the approaching aircraft to shift laterally into the recommended path. The second is called the glide slope (GS) or glide path, which prevents vertical deviation from the recommended path of descent. Guidance is provided to the ILS by way of a series of aerial signals from both a lateral and vertical direction. The LOC aerials transmit two intersecting beams on either side of the runway. The GS aerials are positioned on the aerodrome and transmit two intersecting beams; one below the vertical profile and one just above it. When an aircraft deviates from the recommended paths, a differential signal is produced, informing the pilot to adjust the aircraft’s position accordingly.
In some instances, the instrument landing system is aided by marker beacons and high intensity runway lights. If marker beacons are provided, they will likely be positioned on the ILS approach track at specified distances from landing. There are typically three markers, each at varying distances. The inner marker is located at the runway threshold, the middle marker is about 3500 feet from the threshold, and the outer marker is about 5 miles from the runway. Moreover, marker beacons are calibrated at 75 MHz, indicating both decision height points for approach and the distance to the threshold of the runway.
The ILS is not the only guidance system currently being used for aircraft operations. Another alternative is the microwave landing system (MLS), an all-weather precision radio guidance system that provides position and ground to air data. This information consists of an azimuth angle measurement, an elevation measurement, and a range measurement. In a MLS, lateral and vertical guidance is displayed on conventional course deviation indicators or presented on the multipurpose cockpit displays.
Beyond the need for landing systems, another important part of standard aircraft operations consists of landing gear support. Landing gear is typically attached to the wing spars or other structural surfaces on the aircraft. For example, retractable gear is firmly attached to the aircraft with enough grace so that it may be able to move into a recess or well when stowed. A trunnion arrangement is most common in this instance. The trunnion is a structural extension of the upper strut cylinder. It consists of bearing surfaces that allow the gear to move from the standard vertical position for landing and move to a stowed position necessary during flight. The trunnion alone cannot support the aircraft, and as such, a drag brace is used to limit how much the trunnion pivots. On some aircraft, the function of the drag brace is supplemented by the hydraulic cylinder which supports the aircraft during ground maneuvers.
As can be seen, landing systems are an integral part of standard aircraft safety operations. For this reason, it is critical to ensure that these systems are working properly. There are various components that work hand-in-hand with landing systems that, in some instances, need to be repaired or replaced. When you find yourself in need of such components, rely on NSN Gamut for all your operational needs.

Shenzhou 9, Chinese Spaceship has finally docked with Chinese orbiting module in the space, putting Chinese space dreams on course
China has achieved a great feat in the space by not just sending a woman astronaut in the space, but also docking its space ship with its orbiting module. It is a great achievement not just for Chinese space program, but also for the international space efforts as a whole.
The manually docking of a space ship with an orbiting space module is among the toughest task and when recently privately owned SpaceX successfully docked its Dragon spaceship with International Space Station, it was marked as a great achievement. It was notwithstanding the fact that the whole show was choreographed by NASA. SpaceX project is funded by US government where NASA has infused hundreds of millions of dollars into it.
Meanwhile the whole 1.3 billion strong Chinese nation is watching the whole space voyage of their three astronauts live on their television sets. It is an occasion of pride for the whole nation and they are savoring the occasion. Chinese government is making it look like a concrete step towards establishing their first space station.
Last year, the Chinese government had released its five-year space program, saying top priorities include developing three new launch vehicles — including a rapid-response launch system — and mitigating its contribution to space debris. The 17-page white paper, “China’s Space Activities in 2011,” made clear China’s focus on lunar exploration, with robotic lunar landers and a lunar sample-return mission slated for launch by 2016. The country’s well-publicized development of its manned space station in low Earth orbit is also a priority.
The docking of Chinese space ship is a great occasion for them and truly puts them on course to successfully launch their space station. So far, the US and other European powers have prevented China from becoming a part of the space program including the International space Station (ISS). Now with this new maneuver China has proved beyond doubt that it is on course to equal American and Russian achievements in space exploration.

Are you looking for a new business idea for the drone industry? There’s a list at the bottom of this post that should get your creative juices flowing, but first we need to highlight the contest winner.
Fotokite, a Switzerland-based company that developed a kite-like, tethered drone that can stay in the air almost indefinitely, won the $1 million grand prize in the GENIUS NY (a year-long business accelerator) business competition Monday. This is my kind of contest.
Fotokite’s drones can fly a few hundred feet in the air attached to a retractable cord, then fly fully autonomously and beam live video to operators on the ground. Most drones can fly for less than 30 minutes on battery power, but Fotokite says its drones can fly 24/7 when connected through the tether to a power source.
Company CEO Christopher McCall said the company is focusing its sales efforts on fire departments and law enforcement agencies, but also sees a market among broadcasters and sports teams. Tethered drones can provide impressive situational awareness.
“It flies all by itself, without the need for an operator, without the need for GPS,” he said.
Fotokite was one of six finalists in Genius NY, a state-funded competition for start-up companies focused on the growing unmanned aerial systems industry.
The contest is administered by the Syracuse Technology Garden and CenterState CEO. It is based at the Tech Garden, a business incubator run by CenterState on Harrison Street in Syracuse.
Here are another five finalists who received smaller, but still impressive cash prizes:
Quantifly, of Detroit, Mich., received $600,000. It uses advanced image processing technology to analyze and quantify traffic and parking studies.
TruWeather, of Virginia, received $400,000. It is building a service to improve the accuracy and communication of weather intelligence.
Dropcopter, of Corning, Calif., received $250,000. It has developed technology that allows farmers to pollinate orchards using drones.
Precision Vision, of Edgewood, N.M., received $250,000. It creates image processing technology that makes real-time precision imaging affordable.
UsPLM, of Syracuse, received $250,000. It develops integrated, scalable drone fleet management software for unmanned aerial systems operations.
That is a powerful way to generate interest in a technology.

Study of Fatigue Crack Growth in Heat Treated Aluminium 2024
Study of crack growth and its propagation under fatigue load is important as the crack growth can end up in premature failure of components. Such failures have to be avoided especially in power plants and aerospace applications since the components in these applications are subjected to extreme temperatures. In the present work, studies have been carried on the fatigue crack growth of aluminium 2024 alloy. The test specimens were annealed and cryotreated and subjected to fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests as per ASTM E-647 standards. The fatigue crack growth behaviour has been analysed and explained based on the microstructure. The FCG test results of the heat treated and untreated specimens clearly indicate significant improvement of the fatigue life and fracture toughness of cryotreated specimens.

A separate application and fee is required for each aircraft. If an individual owns multiple potentially qualifying aircraft, then separate applications are required for each of the aircraft, with a fee charged for each application.
Show All Answers
"Availablefor display to the public" means actual display or documented willingnessto display at either (a) an organized air show, (b) a museum, or (c) a specialdesignated area set aside for historical aircraft open to the public.
To qualifyas available for display to the public under any situation, other than (a),(b), or (c) above, an individual must document that the aircraft is displayedin such a manner that the general public may reasonable be assumed to be awarethat public viewing is clearly invited, and that there are reasonableaccommodations to allow public viewing of the aircraft.
To qualify as available for displayunder any situation also means that (1) there must be a reasonable effort tomake the general public aware of the display and (2) there must be reasonableviewing hours.
No. Making the aircraft available by appointment only is not a clear invitation for viewing issued to the general public. Also, an owner's home site will lack reasonable accommodations for public viewing in most instances.
No. Theplane must be displayed in a place where deliberate public viewing can beaccommodated during reasonable viewing hours.
As used in the statute, "available" means that if an aircraft was formally scheduled for display at a qualifying site and the display was canceled (e.g., because of rain), the date would count as a day available for display.
No. There is no requirement that the aircraft display site be in California.
No. For anticipated display in the initial qualifying year, the applicant need only certify that the aircraft will be made available for display at least 12 days in order to qualify for the exemption. The assessor can request additional information at a later date to verify compliance. If, at a later date, it is determined that the owner did not meet the exemption qualifications, an escape assessment can be issued.
Conveyance of passengers or goods for any business reason or use of the aircraft for any revenue-producing activity would constitute commercial purpose.
Yes. Owner recognition of business-related aircraft use is factual documentation that the aircraft is used for commercial purposes.
"General transportation" means conveyance of or travel from one place to another. Use of an aircraft for general transportation means flight of the aircraft from one place to another, for the primary purpose of transporting passengers, self or goods from one location to another. To constitute general transportation there must be flight from one place to another, not flights that originate and end in the same place with no intervening stop. Recreational flying, maintenance-related flying, and flights necessary to maintain the owner's pilot's certificate would not constitute general transportation unless the flights are primarily for the purpose of transporting goods or persons to another location. Flights to and from historical aircraft shows or displays do not constitute general transportation.
Yes. If an ownerremoves an aircraft from the taxing jurisdiction of a county and then returnsthe aircraft at a subsequent lien date, the fee is not required for asubsequent application filed for the same aircraft.
Yes. The application filed in the second county is the initial application in that county.

Ron Howard and National Geographic are plotting on taking viewers to space in a way like never before: Mars is equal parts sci-fi drama and documentary. The six-part miniseries tells the story of a speculative future where mankind sends a spacecraft (named the Daedalus) to Mars in 2033; this dramatic footage is then interspersed with present-day documentary footage detailing the possibility and potential importance of a manned mission to the Red Planet, including interviews with notable scientific figures like SpaceX’s Elon Musk, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Andy Weir (author of The Martian) and many, many more.
Casting-wise, the Daedalus’s crew consists of American commander and systems engineer Ben Sawyer (played by Ben Cotton), pilot Hana Seung (Jihae), Spanish scientist Javier Delgado (Alberto Ammann), French physician Amelie Durand (Clementine Poidatz), Russian exobiologist Marta Kamen (Anamaria Marinca) and Nigerian roboticist Robert Foucault (Sammi Rotibi). The crew will liaise with control teams from the Mars Mission Corporation and the International Mars Science Foundation in both London and Vienna during their time in space.
The show will premiere globally in 171 countries and in 45 languages over the course of the entire month of November, as the showrunners and filmmakers felt that the global resonance of the project required a worldwide rollout.
You can find out more about the Daedalus project on its countdown site, www.MakeMarsHome.com.

The long-term, $1 billion contract between GE Aerospace and Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. for manufacturing and delivering various commercial aviation engine components has been renewed.
The Tata Centre of Excellence for Aero Engines will produce the engine parts (Tata-TCoE).
The manufacturing agreement between GE Aerospace and Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL), under which TASL will continue to produce and supply several commercial aircraft engine components to GE’s global engine manufacturing factories, has been extended, the two companies announced in a joint statement on Friday.
The announcement stated that the multi-year, long-term deal, which has a value of more than $1 billion, “displays the increasing connection between GE and TASL in the aerospace sector.”
Initially, the agreement was inked in late 2017.
To produce CFM International LEAP engine components in India, Tata-TCoE was founded in 2018. GE and Safran Aircraft Engines have a 50/50 joint venture called CFM International.
CFM’s engines are used in a sizable number of national commercial aircraft.
The LEAP engine, which has logged more than 23 million engine flight hours since going into service in 2016, “continues to offer increased fuel economy and asset utilization for today’s newest commercial narrow-body aircraft,” according to the announcement.
According to Mike Kauffman, VP & GM of Purchasing at GE Aerospace, the company’s relationship with TASL has grown in the past five years. “The Tata Centre of Excellence for Aero Engines has expanded in scope and significance for us and is now Make in India, for the world.”
Sukumaran Singh, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of TASL, stated that the company continues to invest in enhancing the nation’s technological, manufacturing, and aerospace talent bases.
“The Tata Center of Excellence for Aero Engines has been established as the most advanced production facility for intricate aero-engines for clients worldwide.
With assistance from GE’s technical team, he continued, “GE has helped us create essential aero-engine production procedures here in India as a top commercial engine producer.” According to Mike Kauffman, VP & GM of Purchasing at GE Aerospace, the company’s relationship with TASL has grown in the past five years. “

Bringing together key scientists from the four leading national space agencies as well as a former astronaut and a former cosmonaut, the St Cross Centre for the History and Philosophy of Physics (HAPP) held a global online panel discussion on "Space Travel Across the Decades and Beyond" on 26 February 2021. Organised by the Centre's Director, Dr Jo Ashbourn, the event attracted an audience of over 550 from around the world.
The panel included NASA's Dr Jim Green (Chief Scientist) and the European Space Agency's Professor Günther Hasinger (Director of Science) along with the Former Scientific Secretary of the Soviet Space Council, Professor Mikhail Marov, and the China Manned Space Programme's Chief Scientist, Professor Gu Yidong. Each discussed the history of their respective national programmes and their milestones before going on to touch upon future ambitions for space travel and exploration. The discussion was ably moderated by Dr Alice Bunn, International Director of the UK Space Agency. Following the talks, Dr Bunn engaged in a lively discussion and debate with the panel and the two distinguished discussants, Dr Mae Jemison, a former NASA astronaut and the first African American woman in space, and Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, a former cosmonaut and the first Indian in space.
Live questions and answers were posted online throughout the event which saw dozens of queries and comments from members of the audience, many of which were responded to online by the panellists and discussants. As the proceedings progressed, Dr Bunn also selected questions to put directly to the convened experts who shared additional insights in person in the Q&A session and expressed unanimous hope for deeper international collaboration in the future.
As with previous online HAPP events, this one reconnected the HAPP community during the pandemic and engaged a new global audience with HAPP's ongoing programme, increasing awareness of both the Centre and the College well beyond Oxford's lecture theatres.
A video of the Discussion Panel event is now available at https://www.stx.ox.ac.uk/event/space-travel-across-the-decades-and-beyond.

Our ‘Never too old to learn’ group at Meadowlark designed and made a rocket to launch as it’s the 50 year anniversary of man walking on the moon.
The residents had a great time making a paper mâché rocket and were very proud of the finished result. Meadowlark was abuzz with people’s predictions on if the rocket would take off and how high it would go.
It was a team effort and Chef, Phan, made a cake for the launch which brought smiles to the residents faces.
The Rocket launch was a success and the residents loved they’re creative activities

FlyBe Flight Review - Cardiff Airport to Milan, Malpensa, Italy
We try the #FlyBe service from Cardiff to Milan, Malpensa Airport.
We are pleased that more and more routes are being brought to Cardiff Airport.
The plane was an Embraer 195 which has two - two passenger seating configuration.
The exit row (Row 15) had lots of space, more than the exit rows in an Airbus A320 and Boing 737.
The flight time from Cardiff was 1 hour 50 mins.
Malpensa airport is about 50 mins from Milan by train but there is a dedicated express service which is really easy to use.
Malpensa airport s really useful for visiting the Italian Lakes.

WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. – --
The 131st Force Support Squadron Airman & Family Readiness flight received the 2020 annual award for best personnel team across the Air National Guard.
“The Air National Guard A1 Community is immensely proud to support the superior professionalism and the dedication of these units and individuals,” said Air National Guard Brig. Gen. April Vogel, Director for Manpower, Personnel, Recruiting and Services, Air National Guard Readiness Center.
The 131st FSS, U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Ben Elkins, Tech. Sgt. Jeremy Greene and Staff Sgt. Melissa Askew competed against personnel teams across 90 wings and were awarded for their upstanding mission accomplishments, innovation, customer focus, leadership and team building.
“The Airman and Family Readiness team is the backbone for a number of programs,” said Air National Guard Maj. Amy Cottrell, 131st Force Support Squadron director of operations. “Programs such as the Transitions Assistance, Survivor Benefit Plan and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training offering invaluable assistance and information to service members in the Air National Guard.”
The A&FR team distinguished themselves above the rest of the ANG personnel by integrating key spouses to aid in family deployment preparations, developing and implementing training programs that saved $15,000 in training costs and conducting 1,200 quality of life surveys to increase morale across the wing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Epicor ERP for Aerospace and Defense
Think all manufacturing is the same? Think again. Manufacturing processes vary based on industry and size. That means ERP and other enterprise software systems require functionality and adaptability to support different sectors. The Aerospace and Defense (A&D) sector proves especially complex, facing stringent regulations, rapid changes and intense engineering processes. But aerospace manufacturing can face these challenges head on with a robust ERP system such as Epicor. Let’s dive into the Epicor ERP features that A&D need to profit in a competitive industry.
Compliance with government and industry regulations is no small feat. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), environmental regulations, security measures, trade requirements, commercial and defense industry standards—as aerospace businesses expand, so does the list of regulations. If you’re going without a powerful ERP system, the compilation of regulations poses a threat to your bottom line.
With Epicor, you can stay on top of the strictest requirements. Epicor automates the compliance process to make one of the biggest stressors for A&D manufacturers a thing of the past. ERP automatically detects components that fall short of performance standards and provides details about necessary directives on the fly.
Compliance to regulations and contracts also requires extensive reporting, which Epicor supports with superior workflow management and auditing features. Workflow management keeps track of each step of the manufacturing process, ensuring all documents go to the right places and each step satisfies government and industry standards. Every change made to data and records is captured in Epicor’s complete audit trail, further guaranteeing compliance. Failure to adhere to regulations can break an aerospace manufacturing company, but that’s no longer a concern with Epicor’s robust features.
Product Lifecycle Management
Product lifecycle management (PLM) serves a crucial role in any manufacturing sector, but it has an especially important, complicated role in the aerospace industry. Because of intense regulations and safety measures, few industries have a smaller room for error than aerospace manufacturing. PLM systems must come equipped to address a tremendous range of processes and long product lifecycles. For PLM systems to meet these challenges, they need to serve as an end-to-end solution that improves quality, design, engineering and traceability.
With Epicor ERP, aerospace manufacturers gain exactly what they need. PLM further supports compliance by providing rigorous product traceability and enabling enterprises to maintain vast quantities of electronic documentation. Epicor embeds its PLM suite with a product data management (PDM) system that supervises the lifecycle for quality assurance.
PLM also includes interfaces to several computer-aided design (CAD) systems that are integral for aerospace design. Comprehensive engineering management capabilities empower manufacturers to manage workflows and produce detailed cost analyses during engineering processes. An all-inclusive PLM system is nonnegotiable for the aerospace industry, making the scope of Epicor’s features ideal for A&D.
A&D manufacturers experience a distinct set of difficulties which require the help of a robust ERP system. Datix, a certified Epicor partner, has your back. We have 20 years of experience in building premier software solutions and can serve as your ERP experts throughout your software journey.
Yet another unique challenge in the aerospace industry is greater susceptibility to information silos. A&D manufacturers could be operating on hundreds of disjointed platforms, fostering disorganization and redundancy. Integrated software serves as the key to breaking down these silos and boosting productivity. Unity, Datix’s flagship integration solution, connects a variety of software into one system that streamlines business processes and increases transparency.
To reach your aerospace manufacturing goals, contact Datix to learn about our software solutions and services!

|Pilot 2nd Lt. James F. Steele, O-792172 (MIA / KIA) NC
MIA July 16, 1943
Built by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation (LAC) in Burbank, California. Constructors Number 222-7815. Delivered to the U.S. Army. Disassembled and shipped overseas and reassembled.
Assigned to the 5th Air Force, 35th Fighter Group, 39th Fighter Squadron. No known nickname or nose art.
On July 16, 1943 one of four P-38s led by Lt. Denton that took off from 14 Mile Drome (Schwimmer) near Port Moresby on a mission to escort a single F-4 Lightning from the 8th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron (8th PRS) on a photographic reconnaissance mission over Madang. One P-38 returned early from the mission. On the return flight, the other three P-38s including this aircraft encountered bad weather with extremely low visibility. One P-38 landed at 30 Mile Drome (Rogers) while the other two piloted by Lt. Denton and Lt. Steel proceeded to Port Moresby at 6,000'.
Lt. Steel was last seen entering extremely bad weather at 6,000'. Radio tracked him over the mountains until 6:30pm when nothing further was received. It was presumed to have crashed out of fuel in the mountains near Port Moresby. When this aircraft failed to return it was officially listed as Missing In Action (MIA). Lt. Denton landed safely at Port Moresby.
Steele was officially declared dead the day of the mission. He is memorialized on the tablets of the missing at Manila American Cemetery. Steele also has a memorial marker at Chestnut Hill Cemetery in Salisbury, NC.

The 3d Robotics Iris+ review
Meet the Iris Plus Multicopter, an aerial camera that is a drone pilot’s dream.
This easy-to-fly drone, by 3D Robotics, has a set of outstanding features that will turn the most inexperienced pilot into a master of the skies. It has its draws and imperfections, like every other drone. Find out what these are before you decide to invest in one.
Compare it with other renowned drones, like the Phantom 2 Vision Plus, before deciding if it is the right quadcopter for you.
Iris+ multicopter best features
With its winsome features, the Iris Plus will let every pilot enjoy his flying experience.
1. Ready to fly
The Iris Plus flies straight out of the box. Pilots need only fix the propellers and charge the accompanying battery before taking it outdoors to fly.
The Iris Plus is stable, and hovers when a pilot needs it to stay in place. This allows a novice pilot to heave a sigh of relief, because he does not have to worry about his craft straying. It also has an auto launch feature, which allows the craft to take off and land automatically. This ready-to-fly vehicle is truly autonomous.
2. The Pixhawk System
The Iris Plus is a boon for novice and experienced pilots alike. 3D Robotics has included its Pixhawk System, an advanced autopilot system that uses state-of-the-art processor and sensor technology.
The NuttX operating system runs the Pixhawk System. It allows a pilot to see what his drone does. Reliable, it allows him flexible management of his drone. A backup system allows inflight recovery. It includes mixing, allowing the pilot to switch between manual and autopilot modes.
3. Follow Me technology
If you are a die-hard “selfie” enthusiast, this drone is for you. In Follow Me mode, the Iris Plus follows any device on the ground, within at adjustable distance. You can capture pictures of yourself hiking, cycling or swimming from the air. Third Person View turns your drone into a hands free camera. It can follow any GPS-enabled, Android device that has OTG capability.
All you need to do is carry a GPS-enabled device. The Iris Plus will follow its signal and keep the camera focused on you, all while capturing eye-catching aerial footage.
4. Automatic Mission Planning
Using the mission planning application, pilots can plan a flight path for the Iris Plus to follow. The Mission Planning software runs on major operating systems like Linux, OSX and Windows.
You can draw the flight path easily using the user-friendly application. Use it to create your own high-resolution, 3-dimensional maps as well. You can program the drone to take off and land where you want it to.
If you want your drone to fly along the same path the next time you use it, rely on the device’s pre-programmed GPS way points. These waypoints expand the mission capabilities of the craft. You can use it for professional purposes, like scientific research or scripted chemotography.
>>Check out the price of Robotics Iris+ on Amazon<<
5. Built-in data radio
You can check on how your flight missions are doing with the device’s built-in radio. Flight data and control information is easily accessible.
This telemetry radio allows a view of live in-flight data. It allows you to change your mission status as you fly and use your Android tablet as a ground station.
6. Flight Protection
With flight protection, you need not worry about your drone becoming lost. If it flies off course, the Return to Launch feature reminds the drone to go back to where it took off.
The Geo Fence feature gives it added protection. Before your drone flies, use the feature to set boundaries for your vehicle. If it runs into these boundaries, it automatically returns to its launch point.
Camera options include a Go Pro Camera mount. You can capture stunning aerial imagery with your own Go Pro device. The device includes Liveview, a live video link with a display that you can program easily. With this, you can tap into live feed from your Go Pro Camera. The Tarot 2D brushless gimbal, an added option, allows you to take videos steadily, without a shaky effect.
8. Integrated LEDs
The drone has LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights on every arm. This allow you to fly your drone at night.
9. Longer flight times
With the 5100 Mah Lipo battery, this device runs for up to 22 minutes. You can enjoy a longer flights.
1. A flight time of 16 to 22 minutes
2. Payload : 14.1 ounces (400 grams)
3. Weight : 2.82 pounds ( 1282 grams)
3. Battery : 5100 mAH 3 S
4. Flight Time: 16 to 22 minutes
5. Speed 11 m/s (36.089 ft/s)
6. Motor: 950 KV AC2836
7. Dimensions : Wingspan 21.8 In (55 cm) Height 3.94 In (10 cm)
The Iris Plus has a wealth of advantages for pilots of all skill levels. It is a true joy to fly.
1. Easy to fly
A consensus among users of this drone is that it is easy to fly. The auto take-off feature makes launching it a breeze.
The Follow Me feature, which allows the drone to track you while you are on the ground, allows you to take photographs automatically. Capture dazzling portraits of yourself from the air.
The Iris Plus is easy for you to fly, because you can program it automatically. Draw flight paths and make three dimensional maps in seconds.
2. Stays longer in the air
A common complaint many beginning quadcopter users have about their drones is that their flight times are too short.
The Iris Plus does well in this regard. The powerful 5100 mAh lipo battery allows it to stay in the air. Many users say that it does so, as promised.
3. Higher Payload
The Iris Plus can carry weights of up to 14.1 ounces (400 grams). Fit a Go Pro camera or any recording device on it easily.
4. Capable when used with accessories
This drone is a capable device, when used with other accessories. If you add a set of two extra propellers, you will improve its maneuverability in the air. Add an extra case to transport your drone safely.
3D Robotics has replacement arms available in case of crashes. With an extra battery, you can keep it even longer in the air.
5. Amazing aerial photography
Should you want to get rid of shaky video images, turn to the Tarot T 2D Brushless Gimbal. It allows you to capture images without an annoying, “jello” effect. Many users have commented that their cameras can take amazing photographs as a result.
>>Check out the price of Robotics Iris+ on Amazon<<
6. Stability in the air
The stability of the Iris Plus makes it a boon for first time pilots. Users have remarked that it hovers in place as soon as they start to fly it.
7. Protected as it flies
A key advantage of the Iris Plus is its Flight Protection system. If the drone runs out of batteries, it returns to its launch point automatically. This guards your drone and its camera.
8. Camera tilt control
The camera tilt control is a must-have facility for photographers. The Iris Plus can capture quality aerial images, from different perspectives, as a result.
9. Return to Launch function
The Return to Launch function allows you to fly your drone almost anywhere. Your drone will return to its take off point as soon as its batteries run out. You will not have to worry if you do not see it, as it will fly back in the most extenuating of circumstances.
The Liveview option makes real-time streaming a reality. Easy to install, it comes with a 7 inch (0.178 meter) monitor and a 5.8 GHz receiver. Watch the real-time footage your drone captures over 32 channels.
It is impossible to have one’s cake and eat it too. No drone is perfect, and the Iris Plus leaves potential drone owners with a few points to ponder.
1. Camera gimbal and live-view options
Stabilizing the Iris Plus camera is costly. The tarot gimbal keeps video footage from shaking, but is an add-on feature that contributes to the cost of the drone.
You can enjoy aerial images as your drone captures them, if you buy the Liveview telemetry add-on. Though it is packed with user-friendly features, it is costly to install.
2. Delayed Shut Down
Several users have mentioned that the Iris Plus takes a long time to shut down. Turning off the power can take up to a few minutes, which can frustrate impatient pilots.
3. Application only available on Android devices
At this point, the drone’s application is only available on Android devices. Those who use IOS devices must rely on the transmitter.
3d Robotics Iris+ versus DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus
The Iris Plus is a fairly new drone, so you would want to know how it compares with other drones in its price range. The Phantom 2 Vision Plus, by DJI Innovations, will fall into this category.
Both the Phantom 2 and the Iris Plus can fly as soon as you take them out of the box. Ready to fly, you can start showing off your skills immediately.
The difference between the two drones is that the Iris Plus does not fly with a camera. You must attach your own Go Pro or other recording device. You would also need to attach the Livewire facility if you wish to see what your drone records in real-time.
2. Camera, gimbal and image quality
The Phantom 2 Vision Plus comes with its own 14 megapixel camera and gimbal that stabilizes it. The Iris Plus does not come with either. You would have to buy a Go Pro camera. To add, you would have to buy the Tarot Gimbal from Iris. Note that the Tarot Gimbal is Go Pro compatible.
You may wish to use a ready-to-use camera, such as the one one the Phantom 2, or rely on a Go Pro camera that you are already comfortable with. This is a matter of personal preference.
The Iris Plus retails at a slightly lower price, but do remember that you need to add the Tarot Gimbal and Go Pro camera to make it a complete aerial photography tool. DJI sells the Phantom 2 at a slightly higher price, but comes with a camera and gimbal attached. All considered, the price of both drones is comparable.
4. Support and tutorials
Both DJI and 3D Robotics give thorough support for their drones. DJI acquaints users with the Phantom 2’s functions through videos on its website 3D Robotics shows users how to get the Iris Plus and the Tarot Gimbal running, via videos on its website.
>>Check out the price of Robotics Iris+ on Amazon<<
1. This drone may save money for pilots and photographers who already own Go Pro Cameras. If you are comfortable with your own image capturing device, the Iris Plus is a suitable choice. Drones with cameras may mean added cost and unnecessary equipment.
2. End your flight a little earlier if you use the Iris Plus. This will give it time to shut down completely.
3. If you find the remote control difficult to use, do consult the 3D robotics website. It gives you a detailed explanation of how to manage it. Should you find the transmitter cumbersome, do rely on the Iris Plus application, which you can download on an Android device.
4. To really enjoy your flight experiences, install the Live View feature. Flying is not so thrilling if you cannot enjoy the footage the drone captures, as it captures it.
5. If you are an avid photographer, install the Tarot Gimbal. You will receive clear, well-focused footage.

While we're all celebrating the new year this weekend, a team of NASA scientists will be busy with exciting plans of their own. They'll be monitoring a pair of spacecraft orbiting the moon, designed to answer some age-old questions. It's being described as the biggest moon mission since man first landed there in 1969.
Millions of years ago, earth may have had not one, but two moons. Then, according to theory, they collided, an event known as "the big splat." That would explain the irregularities on the surface of the present day moon, all the valleys on the side we see, all the mountains on the other side.
"Scientists have not had a good way to track that down yet. This is the beginning of solving that mystery."
"Lift-off of the Delta 2 with GRAIL, journey to the center of the moon"
In September, NASA launched a pair of twin lunar probes aboard the same rocket. They'll chase each other in orbit around the moon to study it from surface to center.
"The mission will be run from this control room at the jet propulsion laboratory in Pasadena. A critical point comes this weekend when the two spacecraft, fire their maneuvering rockets to get into orbit around the moon.
"This is the big crunch time. This is gonna be the time where it all comes together or falls apart."
"That's one small step for a man..."
For NASA, it'll be the most intense focus on the moon since the days of the Apollo program. "It's very challenging, but we've done lots of practicing and we're ready to do this."
Former astronaut Sally Ride will be organizing thousands of middle school students to tell NASA what pictures the spacecraft should take with their on-board cameras.
"Hopefully, it'll encourage more kids to get involved in science and engineering."
So this weekend, while millions are watching that new year's ball drop in times square, NASA scientists will be watching that other illuminated ball that holds so many mysteries.

Ever since the United States edged ahead in the space race against the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 70s they became the dominant player in space, and have remained leaders in the field ever since.
Recently however, China has risen to become one of the fastest growing nations in space exploration. Their ambitious space program led by CNSA (Chinese National Space Administration) has already achieved many of the accomplishments the United States has made in space, but in a much more rapid timescale and on a much smaller budget. The rise of China’s aspirations in space has led some to believe that there is a new space race underway between them and the United States, one that could further strain relationships between the two world superpowers.
Late to the game
China’s technological ambitions can be traced back to the late 1950s, when they began a ballistic missile program in response to perceived American and Soviet threats. When the Soviet Union launched the world’s first satellite in 1957, Sputnik 1, Mao Zedong believed that China needed to develop its own space program to keep up with the dominant superpowers. This led to China launching its own satellites throughout the 70’s and 80’s, but a crewed program never came to fruition due to political turmoil within the country.
CNSA as we know it today was born in the late 90’s after the government consolidated many of the different departments that worked on space programmes. China launched their Shenzhou-1 spacecraft in 1999, marking the first un-crewed human spaceflight test conducted by the country. Shenzhou-1 was designed to ferry astronauts to and from space, much like Russia’s Soyuz capsule. The program was a success, and China sent their first astronaut, Yang Liwei, to space aboard the capsule in 2003.
The success of these satellites and crewed flights encouraged China to expand its goals in space. CNSA soon set about planning missions to space stations in Earth orbit, the Moon, and even on to Mars.
China’s first astronaut, Yang Liwei, lies in the re-entry capsule of Shenzhou-5 Spacecraft during a training on September 27, 2003
There have been many space stations constructed in Earth orbit since the 70’s, like the Russian Mir and the United States’ Skylab. The current International Space Station (ISS) has been humanities outpost in space for over 2 decades. It began construction in 1998 and has been continuously occupied since 2000. It is a multinational collaborative project involving 5 different space agencies: NASA (USA), Russia, JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). Countless other astronauts from dozens of countries have also visited the orbiting laboratory. Despite bearing the title International in its name, the ISS is not truly international. China expressed interest in collaborating on the project but have been prohibited from doing so by the US. China’s use of an anti-satellite technology and the reported hacking of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory fuelled distrust in the Chinese space agency, and a bill passed by the US congress in 2011 officially banned China from visiting the International Space Station.

Subsequently, China developed their own space station and in 2011 they launched their first, Tiangong-1. Two crewed missions visited the orbiting laboratory before it was de-orbited and burnt up within Earth’s atmosphere in 2018. Their second station, Tiangong-2, was launched in 2016 before it was also de-orbited in 2021. Both space stations were very small in comparison compared to the ISS, but China used them as testbeds to eventually build larger and more capable space stations.
In April 2021, China launched the first module of their new space station simply named Tiangong Space Station (TSS). The core module is called Tianhe, meaning ‘harmony of the heavens’, and TSS is planned to be a much larger and permanent station than its predecessors. One month after the launch of the first module, China launched a cargo mission to TSS to prepare for astronauts. Just weeks following the successfully cargo mission, China launched their first crewed mission, Shenzhou-12, to TSS in June of 2021. The crew of 3 astronauts successfully docked with the station, marking China’s first crewed flight in over 5 years. The impressive speed, rapid construction, and occupation of the new Chinese space station has proven China’s capabilities in space. It took years before the ISS could be occupied by crew, something China achieved in a matter of months.

The International Space Station remains one of the most complex, largest, and expensive objects every built by humans, but its age is beginning to show. Funding for the ISS is only guaranteed until 2025, and its future is not certain after that point. Furthermore, the station’s second largest partner, Russia, has threatened to pull funding from the project multiple times. Russian sanctions imposed by the US have caused high political tensions on Earth, threatening an end to the two nations collaboration in space that has endured since the end of the Cold War. Russia may choose to leave the ISS in 2025 and join China on their TSS project instead. This has been seen as an increasingly likely possibility, since Russia and China announced plans for collaborative lunar exploration, and have a much closer relationship either nation does presently with the United States.
Funding for the ISS is only guaranteed until 2025, the fate of the orbiting laboratory after that is not known. (NASA)
China’s Lunar Exploration program is named Chang’e, after the Chinese Moon goddess. The program consists of several ongoing robotic missions designed to further our understanding of the Moon and test many technologies that would be needed for eventual Mars missions. The first mission was Chang’e-1, an orbiter that operated for 2 years mapping the Moon’s surface in detail. A second orbiter was launched in 2010 and incredibly had a mission extension that sent the probe to an asteroid after it had explored the Moon. Chang’e-2 flew within 3 kilometres of asteroid 4179 Toutatis, making it the closest fly-by of an asteroid at the time and the first such feat for China.

Chang’e-3 was China’s first lander, consisting of a landing probe and a small rover named Yutu. Launched to the Moon in 2013, it landed in Mare Imbrium on the Moon, making it the first soft landing to our lunar neighbour since the former Soviet Union landed Luna 24 in 1976. It was a historic moment for China, and the achievement caught the attention of space agencies around the world. The Yutu rover operated on the Moon from 2013 until 2016, far beyond its expected life span of 3 months.
China again made history with Chang’e-4 when it became the first ever spacecraft to land on the far side of the Moon, something that no spacefaring nation had ever previously achieved. Chang’e-4 landed in early 2019 along with the Yutu-2 rover in the Von Karman crater. The rover remains operational on the far side of the Moon to this day and has broken all records for the longest operational rover on the Moon. The record was previously held by the Soviet Lunokhod 1 that operated for 321 Earth days. This mission also marked the first major collaboration between the US and China since the 2011 ISS ban. Scientists from both NASA and CSNA were in talks during the landing, with both nations agreeing to share satellite data and relay information for lunar exploration missions between the two.

With no sign of slowing down, China then launched the Chang’e-5 mission in 2020, which landed on the Moon and safely returned rock samples to Earth the first time in over 40 years. This made China the third country after the US and Soviet Union to have successfully completed a sample-return mission from the Moon. The European Space Agency also worked with China on this mission, by providing tracking and data relay from their ground stations on Earth. The success of Chang’e-5 again caught the attention of the world’s media, with many nothing the rapid speed and success of China’s space ambitions. The collaboration with other space agencies is seen as a positive move for China as it moves towards being more open towards working with other nations in space.

All eyes on Mars
Human exploration of Mars is seen as a scientific prize for many of the worlds space agencies. NASA has been a leader of robotic Mars exploration, with dozens of successful spacecraft and rovers that haver explored the red planet since the 1970s. But they agency has been joined by many other nations in recent years, and as of 2021 there are currently 12 active spacecraft active on and around Mars.
China joined the fleet of countries to explore Mars in 2021 after their Zhurong rover successfully touched down on Mars, making them only the second nation to successfully land on Mars after the United States. Zhurong is similar in size to the twin Spirit & Opportunity rovers that NASA landed on Mars in 2004. The rover carries a suite of new scientific instruments to study the surface, including an ingenious selfie-camera system that is designed to be dropped and picked back up by the rover. This is the first solo Mars mission from China, and a success at Mars on the first attempt is a rare feat. Dozens of Mars missions have failed, either en-route to or on Mars.
China’s Zhurong rover snaps a selfie along with it’s landing platform on the surface of Mars (CSNA).
Both the United States and China have expressed that they want to eventually explore Mars with human missions, but this will be no easy feat. Manned exploration of Mars will be the most complex and perilous journey that humanity has ever undertaken. As nations around the world continue to prove their capabilities in space, eventual manned missions to the red planet will require collaboration from space agencies all around the world.
Space has always been a place of unity and teamwork that has often transcended Earth-bound tensions and conflicts. While the United States and the Soviet Union threatened each other with nuclear warfare during the Cold War, astronauts from both nations lived and worked together in space with the common goal of peaceful exploration and scientific understanding. As we move towards the next giant leap in space, we are hopeful that countries around the world can put aside their differences for the purposes of joint space exploration, with the overarching goal we all share to improve life for all on Earth.

Under the plan, the rover, deployed from the Gateway, will travel on the moon's surface close to the south pole for five explorations between 2029 and 2034.
The auto company teamed up with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to develop a pressurized vehicle capable of carrying astronauts on the lunar surface without the need for space suits.
Toyota revealed its plans for a manned, pressurized moon rover it hopes to land on the moon in 2029, in collaboration with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda said the project shows confidence in the "durability and driving performance" of the automaker's vehicles and its fuel cell technology for powering electric cars.
With recent space exploration from China and developments for SpaceX in the United States of America, the space race is again hotting up with nations striving to explore further and spend extended times in space and on the surface of the moon. Furthermore, cars are used in all of Earth's regions, and, in some regions, cars play active roles as partners for making sure that people come back alive. "We aim at launching such a rover into space in 2029", he added.
"Manned, pressurized rovers will be an important element supporting human lunar exploration, which we envision will take place in the 2030s". JAXA president Hiroshi Yamakawa said that the cooperation between it and Toyota could generate spin-off benefits. And I think that coming back alive is exactly what is needed in this project.
During a symposium on Tuesday, March 12 in Tokyo, Toyota executive vice president Shigeki Terashi expresses his excitement at the automotive company's new project and explains the value of state-of-the-art fuel cell technology. As part of this, both the organisations will first work towards the development of a lunar rover.
JAXA will cooperate with Toyota on technologies to purify water and air in the vehicle.
Toyota's next challenge is out of this world. Through our collaboration with Toyota as the starting point, we can further expand the resources of "Team Japan" in the continued pursuit of global space exploration.

VQ-2 DET ALFA at NAS Cubi Point, Philippines, and VQ-2 DET BRAVO at DaNang AFB South Vietnam It was not only in routine reconnaissance operations and peacetime crises that VQ-2 saw action. There was also a hot war to be fought. The conflict had heated up in Southeast Asia. By the autumn of 1965, the Navy required a degree of electronic reconnaissance capacity beyond that available from VQ-1, necessary to augment SEVENTHFLT EW efforts in Southeast Asia. Consequently, beginning under the tenures of CDRs A.D. Burkett and E. Y. Laney, two VQ-2 EA-3Bs, 39 flight crew and ground support personnel were ferried from Rota to NAS North Island, California, and then to Philippines, with stop-overs at NAS Barbers Point, Hawaii (1-8 September, 1965) and NAVSTA Midway Island (8-27 September, 1965). Under the Operational Control of CICPACFLT, VQ-2 established its DET A or ALFA (not ALPHA) at NAS Cubi Point, Philippines. Sorties were flown from there to support Navy combat operations, updating ELINT Order of Battle/RADAR Order of Battle (EOB/ROB) and proving MiG and SAM alert tip-off for strike and tactical or photo-reconnaissance missions against North Vietnam.
After DET B or BRAVO facilities were established at DaNang AFB, South Vietnam, the EA-3Bs operated almost exclusively from that site with VQ-1 aircraft. With the growth of attacks over North Vietnam, EA-3Bs from both VQ-1 and VQ-2 were routinely deployed aboard CTF 77’s Attack Carriers located on Yankee Station, in the Gulf of Tonkin, to support their Air Wing strikes.
VQ-1 AND VQ-2 DET’s A and B were in the forefront of what is today called “tactical fusion,” bring together the raw information from the six to eight Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) positions and a like number of Communications Intelligence (COMINT) positions to form correlated intelligence in near real-time, and providing it to the aircraft over the beach in the form of AAA, SAM and MiG Indications and Warnings.
VQ-2 Receives its first Lockheed EP-3E ARIES Aircraft
The squadron’s newest addition to its Electronic Warfare arsenal was a long time coming. It all began in 1968-69 with a program to improve and update the EC-121M. This program, call UPCON (UPDATE Constellation), marked the embryonic stage in the evolution of the new aircraft. From the beginning, VQ-2 had a major input in the UPCON program despite the fact that it was relatively rare for recipient squadrons to have a large voice in aircraft modification program. Winton Lowery, Nick Nickelson, LCDR Paul Hendricks, LT Don East, and LT Tenny Kentro did the majority of the squadron’s planning, although much of the groundwork was done in the squadron. Early in 1970, positive signals were received from the Washington, D.C. and Norfolk areas. Leadership understood that the EC-121M had been an outstanding airframe, but it was getting tired and parts were hard to find, and a new airframe would be the way to go. The decision was made to mate the UPCON package with the P-3 airframe. The result was the EP-E3 aircraft, at least in concept. The EP-3E had been preceded by EP-3As operated by VQ-1 that were modifications of P-3As. As in any family, prior to the arrival of the new member, names for the newcomer are argued back and forth; so it was with the P-3. After much debate, the squadron finally decided that their new arrival should be christened ARIES (Airborne Reconnaissance Integrated Electronics Systems). The original P-3, as flown by the VP squadrons, was named ORION; since this was a cousin, a similar name seemed fitting. Astrology enthusiasts will readily recognize the connotations of ARIES with the EP-3E. LT Ken Hintz designed the ARIES patch.
Much of the initial work was done by NAFI (Naval Avionics Facility, Indianapolis), which was responsible for integrating of all the individual “black boxes” into one functioning system. The NAFI people worked on ARIES with imagination, enthusiasm, and a large measure of pure effort. During the same period, VQ-2 sent operators and technicians to NAFI to acquire the skills in the operation and maintenance of the system.
With the delivery date drawing near, the CO sent some help to Lockheed Aircraft in Ontario, California in the form of Lowery, McKenney, Elwell, Ratchiff, Stanga, Ritterbeck, Herst, Pratt, Olsen, and Beckham. He borrowed ENS Goerg and PO1 Gillard from NCS (Naval Communications Station) to assist in the checkout. The VQ/NCS crew arrived at Lockheed on June 11 and immediately started flying NPE (Navy Preliminary Evaluation) and BIS (Board of Inspection and Survey) flights on the aircraft. They remained until July 14 when they flew the EP-3E to Patuxent River, Maryland for a few more checks and tests. The Skipper was kept informed of the status of the EP-3E as he anxiously awaited “The Day.” Under the able direction of LCDR George Anderson, his fellow crew members, LT Mike Carrig, ADJ1 Jim Reese and AT1 J. E. Degan plus the VQ/NCS crew, FAIRECONRON TWO’s first EP-3E ARIES 149668/JQ9 arrived on the squadron ramp at 1100 on July, 31, 1971. To greet the new arrival were top local Navy representative in addition to many of the squadron personnel. After a brief inspection, the crew and welcoming party celebrated the new arrival with champagne and cake.
Thirteen P-3A Maritime Patrol Orions had previously been modified to be EP-3E for Signal Intelligence (SIGINT). Three of them were initially modified as prototypes in 1967 (149669, 149673 and 149678), and were re-designated as EP-3E and used for ELINT reconnaissance systems development at Pacific Missile Test Center. As a Research, Test Development and Evaluation (RTD&E) aircraft, the EP-3E was utilized to develop the Electronic Emitter Location System (EELS), that later became the primary SAM missile warning indicator device for combat strike aircraft over Vietnam.
However, before becoming EP-3Es, the three P-3A aircraft (ST/SPIN) had been assigned to CIA’s 34th Black Bat Squadron for PROJ AF (Project Air Force). They were modified by Aerosystems Division LTV for a clandestine reconnaissance project in 1963-64. External modification included extended exhaust pipes on the nacelles (to reduce infrared signature), shortened propeller blades (to reduce noise), a bulged observation window on top of the aft fuselage, panel and blade antennas, an air cooler fairing with two intakes positioned just aft of the forward starboard observation window, modified bomb bay doors, and a cargo door (created by adding a mirror door to the existing entrance).
Additionally, the MAD (magnetic anomaly detector) boom had been removed and all three aircraft were painted black overall for night operations. Mission equipment included a Side Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR), special communication systems and infrared detection. For self-protection the aircraft were later fitted with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles on four dedicated missiles pylons/rails (two under each outboard wing). It is believed that one P-3 actually shot down a MiG fighter. The area of interest for these Orions was the communist People’s Republic of China. They were flying COMINT/SIGINT mission along the Chinese border but also were conducting missions over the South Chinese Sea, Burma, Tibet and clandestine overland mission over China. The black Orions have also been involved in missions over Vietnam, flying at night out of Okinawa, Japan.
On May 19 and July 12, 1966, respectively, at least two of these black Orions (148669 and 149673) were handed over to the Republic of China Air Force (RoCAF) (today known as Taiwan) with tail number 7810 and 7814, while 149669 returned to the Continental U.S. RoCAF operated them for a very short period in support of a covert CIA program. However, all CIA P-3 missions stopped by January 25, 1967, and the two aircraft were returned to U.S. Navy custody, at NAS Alameda, in October 1967.
Note the tail number of the black P-3 Orion on the featured image.

The USS Carl Vinson, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, entered the South China Sea on Tuesday (September 7), deployed with the F-35C Joint Strike Fighter aboard for the first time.
Accompanied by the latest version of the Tomahawk cruise missile, the deployment marks a major upgrade for the carrier strike group in terms of being able to hit moving targets at standoff distances never before achieved.
These capabilities will enable both the United States and its allies to secure their interests around the globe.
The Carl Vinson carrier strike group departed San Diego August 2 for the western Pacific and arrived at Yokosuka, Japan, on August 28 for a scheduled port visit, USNI News reported.
The carrier has a notable combat record and was deployed during several operations in Iraq and Afghanistan since the 1990s.
Like other carriers in her class, the Carl Vinson can carry more than 65 fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, and can travel more than 5,000 nautical miles in less than seven days.
However, it is the only carrier equipped to support both the F-35C Lightning II jet fighter and the new CMV-22 Osprey aircraft, the National Interest reported in April.
Upgrades completed last year included enhanced jet blast deflectors able to take the increased heat generated by the F-35C.
The vessel was also equipped with the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), the new computer network that supports the unique maintenance and tactical operations functions of the advanced aircraft.
The Carl Vinson last September completed several certifications for the F-35C, including flight deck certification (FDC) and carrier air traffic control centre (CATCC) certification.
And in March, the US Navy successfully conducted a "proof-of-concept" logistics exercise that highlighted how a deployed carrier could still receive critical parts needed to maintain F-35C aircraft.
The carrier set sail in August with 10 F-35Cs, and a larger-than-normal contingent of other aircraft, Rear Adm. Dan Martin, the commander of the Vinson strike group, told Defense News in an August 4 interview.
"We're bringing more capability, we're bringing more quantity, and we figured out just through training and analysation [sic] of our tactics and techniques and procedures that this is the right amount: this is the right amount of air crew, the right amount of airframes."
The F-35C is the carrier variant of the Lightning II.
Compared to the other variants, it features a larger wing area for reduced landing speeds and greater fuel capacity, folding wing tips for easier parking and stowage, and beefed-up undercarriage to accommodate the extreme sink-rates of carrier landings, as well as a catapult launch-bar on the nosegear and a rugged arrestor hook for recovery, Janes reported August 6.
The fifth-generation fighter has a top speed of Mach 1.6 (1.6 times the speed of sound) and a combat range of 1,410km.
The F-35 also has a "beast mode" -- when weapons are carried on the wing-mounted pylons as well as inside the internal bay -- that nearly quadruples the amount of ordnance it can carry.
In addition to its own ordnance, the plane augments the capacities of other weapon systems, creating a constellation of firepower.
One partner of the F-35 is the Aegis Combat System, an integrated naval weapons system that uses computer and radar to guide various weapons to strike targets.
The F-35's contribution to the Aegis is to extend the radius of detectable targets by providing stealth missions deep into enemy territory. Alternatively, the F-35, when equipped properly, can conduct bombing missions to support an Aegis-directed onslaught.
Upgraded cruise missiles
The F-35, besides being an invaluable auxiliary to an Aegis system, adds to the power and reach of Tomahawk cruise missiles.
The US military feeds the Tomahawk with data from a variety of sources: aircraft, drones, satellites, troops, tanks and ships. Those aircraft include the F-35, which can identify targets on a stealth mission.
The Tomahawk missiles themselves have also been upgraded.
The US Navy in March received its first batch of Block V Tomahawk missiles, which are expected to hit surface ships at ranges in excess of 1,600km.
The new version of the missiles include upgraded communications and navigation systems that make it more survivable by making it tougher to counter and detect electronically.
The Block Va variant, also known as the Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST), meanwhile will add to those upgrades to enable the missile to engage moving targets at sea.
Another variant, the Block Vb, or the Joint Multiple Effects Warhead System (JMEWS), is designed with a new payload with a more-penetrating warhead.

The BIA is unlikely to receive the code F rating of the International Civil Aviation Organization for its runway as a result, as only its sides being widened during the renovations, according to the reports.
The renovated runway cannot be used by A380 aircraft, and its lighting system is also not up to standards.
The BIA was closed from 06 January to April 07 for the renovations, carried out after 30 years.
It had been categorized as code 4-E and could accommodate Boeing 777, Boeing 787 and A330 aircraft whose wings are in the 52 metres to 65 metres length range.
To receive code F, the runway should have been renovated to accommodate aircraft with wing lengths of between 65 metres and 80 metres, such as Boeing 747-8, Airbus A380 to A800.
The Civil Aviation Ministry had been saying the runway would be renovated to accommodate Airbus A380, just like at the Mattala airport.
Many factors are taken into consideration when giving the ratings, with the ICAO only having A to F code ratings, and there is no code in existence as described in recent promotions for BIA.

Drones have blown up in recent years in many different industries–mainly because they make certain jobs much easier and provide unique aerial perspectives that simply weren't possible not that long ago. Keep reading if you'd like to learn more about drones and how you can put them to good use!
What the heck is a drone anyway?
Drones come in different shapes and sizes, and not all of them are created equal. The most common drones used for aerial photography are referred to as quad-copters. This is because they use 4 motors equipped with propellers to fly. Some drones have more propellers, and some drones fly just like fixed-wing airplanes. For the sake of simplicity though, and considering that most of DJI's lineup consists of quad-copters, we're going to stick to those for now.
What can drones offer?
DJI drones are used in many different ways; for leisure, work, rescue operations, and more. Each model offers unique abilities depending on what you're looking for, but the most basic functionality is pretty consistent across the entire lineup, and that is the ability to fly and point a camera towards an object to be able to see it from a distance, or at a height that isn't practical without the need for special tools and equipment such as ladders.
Let's take the roofing industry as an example. With a quick launch of a drone with a built-in thermal camera such as the Mavic 3 Thermal, a roof inspector can quickly tell if your roof is in need of repair and if there are insulation leaks. By finding these sorts of issues and having them addressed, you will see quick savings in things like your home heating bill by ensuring no excess heat escapes through a poorly insulated roof. On top of that, drones are very quick to deploy. A roof inspector can have a drone in the air and locate a thermal leak in less time than it takes to set up a ladder for manual inspection.
What kind of drones does DJI make?
Currently, DJI has several drones in their lineup for different uses. Drones like the DJI Mini 3 Pro are perfect for individuals just starting off. Offering up to 4K/60 video recording, 12MP images, and flight times up to 47 minutes per battery, the DJI Mini 3 Pro is an all-round perfect beginner drone.
Moving up, you'll find drones like the newly-released DJI Air 3 and Mavic 3 Pro which offer omni-directional obstacle sensing for added safety, more powerful cameras to take stunning photos and videos, and added functionality such as faster flight speeds.
Beyond that, DJI also produces professional and enterprise drones. Drones like Inspire 3 offer professional-grade photo and video recording capabilities and enterprise drones like the Matrice 350 RTK offer modular cameras and sensors (often referred to as payloads) that offer unique capabilities depending on what job the drone is used for.
What you should know before buying
While drones are cool, fun, and easy to use, you must know that when operating one, you share the skies with other drones, and most importantly, manned aircraft. Depending on what drone you're interested in purchasing, you may be required to hold a pilot certificate issued by Transport Canada. To obtain one, you must pass an online exam on Transport Canada's website. We encourage you to check out Transport Canada's website regarding drone regulations here.
Any drone that you fly that has a total takeoff weight that exceeds 249g requires a pilot certificate to operate legally in Canada. Drones like the DJI Mini 3 Pro are designed specifically to be below 249g which makes them exempt from requiring a pilot certificate to operate, however, it is always highly recommended to exercise caution and not fly recklessly or put anyone in danger no matter which drone you fly.
Ready to take to the skies?

As You Take to the Skies this Thanksgiving, WindTracer®’s Got Your Back
Thanksgiving: It’s the holiday where we gather with our families to eat too much turkey, partake in family festivities and…enjoy headache-inducing travel at many U.S. airports.
Statistically, the day preceding Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel days of the entire year. According to AAA, out of the nearly 47 million folks traveling to celebrate the holiday this year, more than 3.6 million will take to the skies. With such a high volume of travelers, flight delays are sure to abound—something that WindTracer® aims to change.
Lockheed Martin’s WindTracer system uses light detection and ranging (LIDAR) to provide high-fidelity measurements of wind hazards and wake turbulence, ultimately boosting airport efficiency and increasing flight safety. Since its initial deployment at Hong Kong International Airport in 2002, WindTracer now operates at major airports worldwide in North America, Asia and Europe.
Measuring the Invisible
We can feel wind, but we can’t see it. So how exactly do we measure it?
The answer lies in LIDAR technology. WindTracer continuously scans the surrounding airspace by transmitting eye-safe pulses of infrared light—a LIDAR beam—that reflects off of naturally occurring aerosol particles suspended in the air. WindTracer compares the transmitted light with the infrared light returned back off of the particles and uses the data to determine both wind speed and direction.
This technology holds great potential for reducing travel delays. WindTracer’s ability to detect potentially unsafe changes in wind speed and direction nearly 10 miles away enables proactive airport configuration management. Air traffic controllers can reposition aircraft already in flight well in advance of a wind change. For travelers at select airports, this means big-time reductions in flight delays due to wind conditions.
Setting a New Standard
In addition to predicting impending wind changes and hazards, WindTracer has also been instrumental in the study of wake vortices. Much like a boat on the surface of the ocean, a plane leaves air “wakes” in its trail as it flies. These wakes can be potentially hazardous for aircraft in close proximity, an issue that has plagued airports since the beginning of commercial flight.
For years, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spaced aircraft strictly based on weight categories and not detailed understanding of the wake vortices they create. In recent years, the FAA has introduced a series of practices intended to make flying more efficient, one of which is called wake re-categorization. This new practice—highly influenced by WindTracer’s measurement of wake vortices—involves spacing aircraft according to the wakes they create, instead of how much they weigh. This minimizes aircraft separation intervals, which means more efficient arrival and departure times with fewer delays for passengers.
The initial impact of this new standard has been staggering. The concept, first tested in 2012 with FedEx delivery planes at the company’s hub in Memphis, resulted in a 20 percent increase in airport handling capacity, according to FAA statistics. On the passenger front, Delta Airlines at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport has reported up to a 24 percent reduction in departure queue delays as of February 2015.
With its unparalleled accuracy in measuring aircraft wake vortices, WindTracer’s data played a major role in the decision to update wake separation standards. After their initial successes, the new wake re-categorization guidelines are being gradually implemented at airports like Louisville in Kentucky, Cincinnati and Houston’s Bush Intercontinental and Hobby airports across the United States. Next, the FAA has its sights set on implementing the same standards at John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark airports.
So, for this year’s frequent fliers and future Thanksgiving travelers, fewer flight delays with WindTracer are certainly something they can be thankful for.

The question of whether there’s water on Mars has, once again, come into public view. This time doubts are being cast on previous conclusions that water is a prevalent force on the surface of Mars, even in recent history.
In the December 8, 2006 issue of Science, a report was published suggesting that water had flowed on the surface of Mars in recent decades. A reexamination of the data led to the publishing of a new report in the September 21, 2007 issue of Science, claiming that most, if not all, of the evidences from the initial article could also be explained as dry gravel rather than water flows (see here for a discussion of this report).
Now, in a news release from the University of Arizona, Jon Pelletier and coauthor Alfred McEwen have reported on a further study of the surface-flow images that led to the original claim of water flow. Using new higher resolution images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), they have performed simulations of what the flows would look like if they were caused by water or by dry granular flow, such as sand or gravel. To their surprise, the dry flow better represented the image data than water flow. The team could not rule out mud flows, but felt that the simpler explanation was dry flow.
This report comes on the heels of another result discussed in a previous TNRTB, where researchers have concluded that if Mars did have surface water in its past, this water was probably so salty that only a few bacterial life-forms that exist here on Earth could survive in it.
In May of this year, NASA’s new spacecraft Phoenix will land on the north pole of Mars. The goal will be to examine the frozen material there and to dig down three feet below the surface in search of evidence for water and microorganisms.
The search for water and the possibility of life on Mars has not been straightforward or easy. Yet there’s a tremendous advantage in carrying out this search on the Red Planet because it is a relatively close neighbor and has a benign environment that enables us to examine many of its details. The search will be much harder for more distant Earthlike exoplanets, if such are discovered. Ultimately, RTB scholars expect that any life found on Mars will be identified as having originated on Earth.

Help Spring Grove's Rocket Scientists participate in NASA Student Launch Initiative
Spring Grove Area High School’s Rocket Scientists are selling 2013 Bonus Books to help fund their participation in NASA’s Student Launch Initiative.
Spring Grove was the only high school in Pennsylvania (and one of just 21 nationwide) to be chosen for the program, through which they will build and launch a 7-foot rocket at least one mile into the air, according to a news release. It will carry a science experiment that will deploy at the one-mile mark.
Costs of the rocket plus travel to the NASA facility in Huntsville, Ala., are estimated at around $13,000.
Merchants who participate in Bonus Books offer significant discounts to their stores, restaurants and attractions, the release says. The books, $28 each, are available in each school district building, at Spring Grove’s holiday concerts and several home sports events, and at some Spring Grove merchants, including A Little Bit of Heaven Coffee Shop, Glatco Credit Union, Forge Hardware and Famous Hot Weiner.
I hung out with the Rocket Scientists last year, when they were preparing for the Team America Rocketry Challenge. Here's some video from that day:

WISE COUNTY, VA (WJHL)- Drone industry leaders met at Lonesome Pine Airport Thursday to talk about opportunities in Wise County.
The area has caught the eye of drone companies and some hope it can be the hub for this industry in the future.
Wise County has already made history with drones. Last July, the county partnered with NASA, and the Remote Area Medical clinic to drop medication via drones for the first time in U.S. history.
Thursday in Wise County leaders talked about the future of the drone industry, and the potential to bring jobs to a county that is still recovering from the decline of the coal industry.
By 2025 some researchers predict the drone industry will have over 100,000 high-paying jobs.
Leaders in Wise want to make sure this area gets a key piece of the industry, starting now in learning, researching, and developing drones.
“I think it can definitely happen as I said other areas of the state they can’t get their act together what I see here is Wise has gotten their act together. They’ve gotten those community groups to actually move forward,” Richard Antcliff, chief strategist with NASA Langley Research Center said.
Wise County leader Jack Kennedy has started the Fly Wisely Accelerator Corp. to make it easier and faster for companies to get involved here.
“The accelerator’s purpose is to aid people that are already in business, speed their productivity, grow their business more rapidly, to where they can have more jobs and be more creative,” Kennedy said.
“It can be a single point of contact for startups, for big companies to do testing, to do product development, and also get connected with all the assets in the state so they come here as a one stop shop and they can do a number of things to get their businesses off the ground,” Shyam Chidamber, advisor for the international drove delivery company Flirtey said.
Flirtey is the first drone delivery company to fly with FAA permission in the U.S. It owns the drones that made the first medical drone delivery in Wise. The company is also thinking about investing here.
“We might be manufacturing drones here, we might be testing drones here, we might do a number of things here which would be a first,” Chidamber said. “This could be the start of something hopefully really really big.”
Aurora Flight Sciences is talking about testing the Centaur plane here, a plane that can fly pilotless.
“We’d start with probably one aircraft like the Centaur doing probably mapping and surveying type work maybe some emergency management type work and then grow it from there,” Jeff Harlan with Aurora Flight Sciences said. “We’re looking to expand and we’re looking to help create jobs in Virginia and we were asked to take a look at the region and see if we could help and I really think there’s a way we can help.”
“Unmanned Ariel Systems enable an array of different ideas, from power line/ pipeline inspections to measuring the health of vegetation,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy said possibilities with drones are endless and he is hopeful this industry will create jobs for people here in Wise County.
Fly Wisely Accelerator Corp. will also seek significant state, federal, and private funding to drive the research, development, and manufacturing of drones.Copyright 2016 WJHL. All Rights Reserved.
