Remember that takeoff accident at the Reno-Stead airport in 2019 that put Draco down... once and for all, unsalvageable, and thought never to be seen again... until now.

The GA community was all agog at the exploits of Mike Patey and a one of a kind upgrade of a STOL aircraft  into something of a 2500 lb Super-STOL bird... complete with a massive turbo-prop engine. Debuting at AirVenture in 2018, Draco was an immediate hit, a YouTube sensation, and won many STOL competitions. The folks at Horizon Hobby have resurrected Draco -- albeit in model form... this time as an exquisitely detailed six foot span RC aircraft that leaves little to the imagination... President Biden has announced his intent to nominate Bill Nelson to serve as NASA Administrator -- the decision is not expected to be popular among much of the senior Astronaut corps who dealt with him during his politically motivated space flight -- which was often considered to be an ill-conceived PR stunt. Senator Bill Nelson, former U. S. Senator, is a fifth generation Floridian whose family came to Florida in 1829. An agreement to modernize and license production of a GA aircraft, the IL-103, in Hungary has been concluded. The agreement is between Il-Yu-shin Aviation Complex and the Hungarian company Aviation Engineering. The new IL-103 will be a modernized version of the previously produced four-seat single piston engine passenger aircraft. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
