Not Confirmed That Jet Was Part Of Canadian Demonstration
Team
ANN REALTIME REPORTING 10.09.08 1815 EDT:
Officials confirm a Canadian CT-114 Tutor training jet crashed near
15 Wing Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Thursday afternoon... but there's
no word yet on possible survivors.
Lockheed Martin's F-35A successfully flew from Fort Worth, TX to
California's Edwards Air Force Base on October 1, to begin expanded
flight testing and initiate test activities at Edwards. Flying
non-stop for more than 1,000 nautical miles, this was the
aircraft's first long-range, cross-country flight.
A Vital Topic... Deserving Of NASA's Attention (and YOURS)
Late last year, ANN's Aero-TV crews spied a truly marvelous piece of flight simulation technology... NASA Glenn's icing flight training simulator. Demonstrated at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC), we were incredibly impressed at the apparent accuracy of the model (ANN's Jim Campbell has plenty of Twin Otter time -- the aircraft used in the icing encounter sim model -- and knows only too well that the icing behavior they displayed is what he has experienced, personally, in real icing conditions).
Goodrich Corporation has received a contract from the US Army to
provide up to 1,000 Vehicle Health Management Systems (VHMS) for

Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is potentially valued at up to
$300 million and covers deliveries through 2013.
