Also: EC120 HeliSAS, Bob Hoover Memorial Update, Colleen Barrett, Edwards AFB, CAE/Ryanair, Newport News Airport, Diamond A/C

The debut of the GoPro Karma drone last month was received with excitement by those looking forward to this long promised sUAS, and it brought hopes to the company to provide some economic benefit to their bottom line.

While all appeared well at first, now GoPro has announced the recall of the approximately 2500 Karma drones purchased by consumers since October 23. The recall was announced after GoPro discovered that in a very small number of cases, Karma units lost power during operation. The Aircraft Electronics Association has released its third-quarter 2016 Avionics Market Report, and the report indicates a continued decline in avionics sales. In the first nine months of the year, total worldwide business and general aviation avionics sales amounted to more than $1.6 billion, which represents a 6.2 percent decrease in year-over-year sales compared to the first nine months of 2015. Sales during the third-quarter months of July, August and September showed a decrease of 5.7 percent when compared to the 2015 third-quarter sales. A wounded veteran has been selected as the first recipient of the new Lockheed Martin - Able Flight Scholarship. Retired Army Captain, Ferris Butler, of Chester, Maryland, sustained severe lower leg injuries in Iraq in 2006 when struck by an improvised explosive device. Butler, a double amputee, is the recipient of the Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Meritorious Service Medal. After successful completion of Able Flight’s six-week flight school held at Purdue University’s Department of Aviation Technology, Butler will earn his pilot’s license and receive his wings at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
