Blue Origin conducted an 11th successful flight of its New Shepard suborbital booster Thursday, launching from the company's west Texas complex and recovering both the booster and capsule about 10 minutes later.
The launch went off on schedule about 9:30 CDT in Texas. The apogee of the flight was above ‘Karman Line” -- recognized as the boundary of space. The capsule carried multiple scientific payloads. The FAA could approve a return to service of the 737 MAX in late May or early June, but airlines would still need several weeks to install software updates and retrain pilots. The FAA held a meeting Monday of its Joint Authorities Technical Review (JATR) meeting to evaluate aspects of the original certification of the Boeing 737 MAX’s automated flight control system. This gathering of international civilian aviation authorities and safety technical experts represents the best spirit of cooperation and collaboration that have contributed to aviation’s strong safety record. Folks... we can’t be too cautious when flying in airspace that we all know comes under special protection... and everytime a GA plane strays, it makes us all look like hell. NORAD says it intercepted a GA
airplane last Saturday flying in the National Capital Region airspace without proper clearance. According to NORAD, the single-engine plane entered the Special Flight Rules area at about 9:30 p.m. EDT and was not communicating with air traffic control. Two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the aircraft, and the intercept was noted by several residents of the D.C. area. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
