Piper Aircraft announced a fleet deal with the Air India Flight Training Center, with the center placing a firm order for 31 Archer DX aircraft for 2025 delivery, and 62 additional options for 2026 and 2027 delivery, for a total of 93 aircraft. Three drone pilots have been arrested, so far, for conducting unauthorized flights near firefighting efforts in southern California. The most significant incident left a Super Scooper air tanker grounded with a hole in its wing. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of
