Fourteen members of Congress led by House Aviation Subcommittee chair Frank LoBiondo have sent a letter to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta demanding that he respond to allegations of cheating and other issues with the FAA's new procedure for hiring air traffic controllers. The first major assemblies for Airbus airplanes to be manufactured in Mobile, Alabama will arrive on in mid-June, according to Congressman Bradley Byrne. A local television station reports that Byrne made the announcement during a forum held by the Mobile Area Chamber Of Commerce. Bryn reportedly said, "They're bringing in the big pieces of the airplane on Father's Day." When Airbus shows up at EAA AirVenture this year, they will provide a double treat for AirVenture attendees. They’ll be arriving in the new Airbus A350 XWB test airplane. In addition, Airbus will also bring the newly completed Perlan-two glider that will explore the upper atmosphere. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
