Attorney General William Barr, Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers, and Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Michael Sherwin, announced new charges against a former Libyan intelligence operative, Abu Agela Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi, aka, “Hasan Abu Ojalya Ibrahim” (Masud), for his role in building the bomb that killed 270 individuals in the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on Dec. 21, 1988.

Pan Am Flight 103 exploded into pieces almost instantaneously when a bomb in the forward cargo area exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, at 7:03 p.m. local time at an altitude of 31,000 feet after 38 minutes of flight. Our good friend Jonathan Rupprecht sent us an interesting story about the FAA's proposed fining of a drone pilot for $182,000. The story has been going around the internet recently. The FAA was gracious enough to allow Jonathan to obtain a copy of the proposed penalty letter which went much more into detail as to the alleged violations they are citing him with. ollowing a recent episode of Airborne Unmanned, featuring a thumbnail showing a hydrogen fueled Pipistrel Hy4 prototype built by MAHEPA, we received the following warning from YouTube. “We wanted to let you know our team reviewed your content, and we think it violates our sex and nudity policy. We know you may not have realized this was a violation of our policies, so we're not applying a strike to your channel. However, we have removed the following content from YouTube: Thumbnail on video.” The thumbnail is a shameless picture of an otherwise naked aircraft... All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
