The Administration released its long-awaited Fiscal Year 2014 Budget Wednesday, which serves as a guideline for the Administration’s spending and policy initiatives.
That budget, unfortunately, continues to promote policies that hurt general aviation and fail to lay the foundation for growth in aviation manufacturing and general aviation jobs. The sequester has officially killed the Blue Angels air show season, with the Navy announcing Tuesday that it was cancelling the remaining 2013 performances of its Flight Demonstration Squadron. The squadron will continue to train to maintain flying proficiency until further notice at its home station in Pensacola, FL. We’re not sure we’d have believed this story if we hadn’t researched it... but it appears that Lycoming is on the hook for a fatal crash in which a Cessna 172 collided with mountainous terrain in reduced ceilings and visibility... with NO evidence of an engine malfunction. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
