As the Transportation Security Administration continues to struggle with a number of issues, it’s hoped that new management at the top will lead to improvement.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson welcomed Peter Neffenger Monday as the sixth administrator of the TSA in a ceremony held at TSA headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. The electric powered Solar Impulse 2 was recently in the news for its flight from Japan to Hawaii, and now another electric airplane is about to perform another aviation first. Airbus Group’s all-electric E-Fan technology demonstrator aircraft is being readied for its English Channel crossing this Friday. The aircraft is being shipped from France's Aquitaine region to the starting point of its Channel crossing in Lydd, England. Our ANN crew is getting ready for AirVenture and were starting early this year. More than just bringing you the news, we are now part of creating it through what we call the AirVenture Innovation Preview. The AIP is an invitation to build serious BUZZ, and promote all the amazing innovations that make Oshkosh one of the most outstanding examples of ingenuity and aero-entrepreneurialism.
