Whew... we thought it might never happen... but the FAA funding
bill, a REAL funding bill is on its way to the President's desk
where we expect he may actually sign the thing.
After years of politics and infighting, the FAA has a smoother
multi-year ride ahead of it in which to put forth an agenda that
many suggest is getting a little long in the tooth... but better
late than never, we suppose. On other fronts, times are a little
difficult for HBC as CEO Bill Boisture gets replaced and
Sierra-Nevada responds with some fighting words over their protest
of the LAS decision-m,aking process. Boeing has some delamination
issues to work out, but says that the planes will be fine in the
long run, while A REALLY HIGH altitude skydive gets closer to
reality -- all that and SO MUCH MORE in this episode of
Airborne!
PLEASE keep sending us your feedback and ideas... you have no
idea how important that is to us as we evolve the Airborne mission.
As we listen to your critiques, we're getting a far better idea as
to how to tweak and fine-tune future Airborne programming to fit
your needs. We think you're going to like what we have in mind for
the future.
