Airborne 01.17.25: Starship 7 Wins/Loses, HUGE Piper Deal, Drone Arrests

Also: Daher Delivers 82 in '24, Boeing Deliveries, Missing Pilot Found, New Glenn Orbits

It's been a week of highs and low for the space biz... 

but none quite as heart-breaking as the loss of the orbital ‘ship’ of Starship 7... just seconds after the equally heart-pounding second catch of the Starship booster some 7 minutes into the mission. It appeared to be a textbook test, at first, but about the time that the ‘ship’ section of the vehicle was due for engine shutdowns and orbital insertion, the vehicle experienced what SpaceX reported as an ‘anomaly’ and all telemetry dropped out. 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 Airborne-Unlimited!!!
