Courtesy Aircraft of Rockford, IL announced at the National Warbird Operators Conference a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: A three-aircraft Harrier package has been placed on the market. The three-aircraft package includes the world's only civilian “jump jet” harrier certified to be airworthy. In addition, the package also includes two additional aircraft; one TMK-8 dual controlled Harrier that is undergoing inspection for certification, and a GR-3 Harrier that is very complete and would be an excellent source for spares or static display. The FAA will discontinue publication of the notices of airmen publication (NTAP) effective June 18, with the final NTAP published on May 21. The decommissioning is part of the overall notices to airmen (NOTAM) modernization effort. “The decision to decommission the NTAP is part of the collaboration with the Aeronautical Information System (AIS) Reform Coalition,” said Heidi Williams, NBAA’s director of air traffic services and infrastructure and business aviation’s representative on the AIS Reform Coalition. Building on the success of Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission to the International Space Station in March 2019 and the recent successful test of the spacecraft’s launch escape system, Space Adventures, Inc. has entered into an agreement with SpaceX to fly private citizens on the first Crew Dragon free-flyer mission. This will provide up to four individuals with the opportunity to break the world altitude record for private citizen spaceflight and see planet Earth the way no one has since the Gemini program.
