Airborne 05.21.25: Jimmy Stewart’s P-51, Glider Splashdown, Jet Bike

Also: Whistleblower’s Family Settles, Boeing Aircraft Tires, Horizon X7 eVTOL, Falcon 9 Record

The P-51C Mustang previously owned by beloved actor and military aviator Jimmy Stewart recently finished up an eventful weekend at the Indiana County-Jimmy Stewart Airport (IDI) and is making its way to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. 

A glider with two persons on board made what was called a spectacular emergency landing in the Eisack River in Bolzano in northeastern Italy on May 10, 2025. The two were uninjured and were able to exit the glider and make it safely to shore. The Bolzano Fire Department was alerted immediately and dispatched its water rescue unit to the site. No, it’s not April 1… a Polish aviation start-up recently unveiled a Star Wars-inspired flying bike by announcing its first successful flight. To bring it all together, at the controls for the maiden flight was an Imperial scout trooper. The Airbike is a one-person vehicle, capable of reaching speeds of up to 124 mph. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
