More than 700 Civil Air Patrol members will convene at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center this week for the organization’s 2016 National Conference.

The conference will devote several days to training, networking and focusing on the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary’s historic past as well as its promising future. Airline labor strife seems to be in the offing at Frontier Airlines as The Air Line Pilots Association has filed a grievance that will lead to arbitration. ALPA is demanding that the company negotiate new pay rates under an agreement reached in 2011 where Frontier pilots sacrificed $55 million in pay and benefits to save their airline. Under the July 2011 letter of agreement, the pilots agreed to a reduction in 401(k) matching contributions, sick pay, and vacation accruals; deferral of scheduled pay increases; and a two-year extension to the collective bargaining agreement. If your billfold won’t quite support a trip to space with Blue Origin or Virgin Galactic, there may be another way to get the view of a space traveler. SpaceVR, a platform for creating cinematic, live, virtual space tourism, announced that it has signed a launch agreement with NanoRacks to send Overview 1, the world’s first virtual reality camera satellite, into space.
