Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-50) and the California GOP Congressional Delegation have called on the Biden Administration to immediately act to prevent expected disastrous aviation fuel shortages that could leave California and the Western United States without the critical use of full aerial capabilities to mitigate and overcome regional wildfires.
In June, the B-29/B-24 Squadron leader Archie Taylor announced that the CAF’s B-24 Diamond Lil "was ready to roll and ride." Crediting the dedicated maintenance team and several donors and sponsors that supported the very rare and oldest flying Liberator while she underwent an extensive project keeping her from touring for about a year and a half. Adventure Pilot is partnering with SA Photonics for demonstrations of its next-generation PilotVision display at next week's AirVenture festivities. This system is reportedly a high resolution, wide field of view, daylight readable color head mounted display that attaches to aviation headgear providing pilots with added situational awareness. The PilotVision system interfaces wirelessly with the Adventure Pilot iFly GPS electronic flight bag, providing a heads-up display (HUD) that contains information on altitude, attitude, speed, terrain, traffic, airspaces and many other pieces of flight data in a head’s up, eyes out, manner. Users can
continue to use their existing iPad, Android or Windows display hardware running iFly GPS and can seamlessly add on the PilotVision HUD. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
