Airborne 09.08.25: Swift Fuel Approval, ‘Diamond Lil’ Roars, SnF26 Tkts On Sale!

Also: Carrier Landings Not Required, UAL To Tel Aviv, ATC in College, EMAS Systems Stop 2

Swift Fuels 100R unleaded fuel has earned ASTM production specification approval. 

This 100-octane blend is the company’s third to pass the milestone, with its UL94 being on the market for over a decade. The Commemorative Air Force’s iconic B-24, Diamond Lil, is working hard to maintain its status as the only regularly flying Liberator. It recently accomplished its first engine run in more than a year and is now progressing through extensive testing and inspections before getting back in the air. Diamond Lil was grounded in April 2024 after routine inspections revealed weather damage to her fabric-covered control surfaces. Who said we can’t be excited for Florida’s favorite airshow year-round? EarlyBird Tickets for SUN ‘n FUN’s 52nd annual aerospace expo, celebrating ‘Red, White, and Blue at 52,’ have officially gone live. The 2026 event will be held on SUN ‘n FUN’s Lakeland Linder International Airport (LAL) campus from April 14 to 19. It is centered on the Americana theme, with the recently unveiled event poster paying tribute to the 250th anniversary of America. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
