Airborne 02.14.14: Beech Looks Up, Mallard Returns!, ALPA v Norwegian

Also: Moffett Under New Management, UAV v GA -- No War Needed, EAA Skiplane Fly-In, FAA and PEDs

Beechcraft Corporation said in a report delivered Monday that, in the fourth quarter, the company delivered 72 commercial Beechcraft products compared to 48 Beechcraft airplanes in the same period the previous year.

Throughout the entire year, the company saw a 64 percent increase in deliveries with 205 commercial Beechcraft products delivered during 2013 compared to 125 in 2012. Joe Frakes has announced the creation of Mallard Aircraft, a new venture to reintroduce the Turbine Mallard amphibious utility, commuter, VIP and special mission aircraft. Aviation industry veteran Sam L. Jantzen, Jr. will head up the program, including market introduction and global manufacturer selection for initial Mallard production. The Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), maintains that Norwegian Air International’s (NAI) announcement that it has received an Irish air operator’s certificate even though the company will not serve Ireland creates the same “flag of convenience” scenario that led to the U.S. maritime industry’s demise and the loss of tens of thousands of U.S. jobs.
