Congressman Darrell Issa released a statement regarding the upcoming upgrade to the Navy Cross for Navy Captain E. Royce William, California. Williams will be recognized for his 7-on-1 battle in 1952, when he flew his F9F-5 Panther alone against a group of Soviet MiG-15s. After years without recognition, William's previously received Silver Star will be upgraded to the Navy Cross. Williams came away the victor, shooting down 4 before excaping with a 37-mm hole in his fuselage. EAA is going all out for its 70th anniversary this year, marking the group's inception on January 26, 2023. This year's annual AirVenture Fly-In will be bigger than ever to celebrate the 1953 founding of the org bringing more than half a million visitors and 10,000 light aircraft into Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Textron Aviation has announced the delivery of the three-thousandth Cessna Caravan. The milestone aircraft, a Grand Caravan EX, was purchased by Azula Conecto, a subsidiary of São Paulo-based Brazilian air-carrier Azul Airlines.
