A pro-Palestine direct-action protest group claimed credit for two of its members breaking into the RAF Brize Norton Airbase west of London during the early morning of June 20 and defacing two KC2 Voyagers while they were parked on the ramp by spraying paint into the engines and the aircraft exteriors, causing an as-yet unknown amount of damage.
All racers have made it across the finish line for the 2025 women’s Air Race Classic, marking the end of a 2,426-mile journey that brought competitors from Fairhope, Alabama, to Spokane, Washington. The “Skybound Scotts” and “Frozen Force” teams led their respective categories. The race tradition started 96 years ago with the Women’s Air Derby, hosted in 1929 under the 1929 National Air Races. The Commemorative Air Force’s iconic B-29 Superfortress is getting ready to fly after spending more than a month grounded for intensive engine repairs. The bomber, FIFI, is set to return to the skies in time for the July 9-13 show in Mansfield, Ohio. The Superfortress had been undergoing typical preseason checks when issues were spotted with engines two and four (for plane nerds, the problem was with the impeller spinner discharge valves in the superchargers). All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
