A B-1 'Lancer' went down Monday morning in a remote area of southeast Montana, but the good news is that all four crew members are reported to have ejected safely, but with some injuries.
The aircraft was based out of Ellsworth Air Force Base in Rapid City, SD, and went down near Broadus. With a crew of two pilots and two weapon systems officers, the aircraft was believed to have been based out of Ellsworth's 28th Bomb Wing. The FAA has responded to an EAA petition, filed in April 2012, which would allow volunteer private pilots flying Young Eagles to be reimbursed for fuel consumed during sanctioned Young Eagles events -- with limits. Continental Motors Group, a division of AVIC International Holding Corporation announced Friday that its Technify Motors GmbH division has successfully renewed all EASA certifications required to design, produce and maintain its successful line of Jet-A fueled Centurion engines.
