SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has threatened to sue the FAA over recent fines. He claims that the agency’s proposed penalties are an overreach of power and politically driven.

Musk’s threat follows just a few hours after the FAA suggested a $633,009 fine for alleged violations during two Falcon 9 launches last year. He characterized the FAA’s actions as regulatory overreach and an example of “lawfare”. Van’s Aircraft says it has been questioned by several builders recently regarding variations in the depth of stiffening rings and beads in formed aluminum ribs. While understanding the reason for the questions, Van’s says the variations have existed for years. The primary reason for the variances is that the parts were transitioned from T0 to T3 temper. The Marine Corps has presented their highest non-combat medal, The Navy and Marine Corps Medal, to the parents of Cpl. Spencer Collart. It was awarded in recognition of Collart’s bravery and sacrifice during a V-22 Osprey crash in Australia last year. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
