Airborne 04.27.22: Red Bull Failure, G109B Able, EAA Honors Corsair Flyer

Also: JetBlue Pilots Vote No, AUVSI Revamps Branding, Honeywell Tests Solution, FAA Downgrades Russia

Sunday's mid-air aircraft trade was partially successful over the weekend--but mostly an aviation embarrassment.

Still; Luke Aikins and Andy Farrington say it's just a bump in the road on the way to success. The two Red Bull teammates had designed the first-of-its-kind stunt in which would see them put a pair of modified Cessna 182s into a dive at 14,000 feet, disembark, and enter each others' aircraft. Unfortunately, the stunt was not able to be performed successfully in its entirety, with only Aikins making his transition. Germany Will see the first public display of Aerobility's new Grob G109B Able aircraft, a recent addition to their fleet and newcomer to their product lineup. Aerobility is the UK's largest aviation charity for disabled services, bringing the ability to fly to many who otherwise might not enjoy the skies. Their showing of the Grob G109B, or as it was known while being worked on,  Project Able, will be the first time that the updated, modified, and recertified variant has been shown to the public. Thomas Hudner, Korean War-era Medal of Honor recipient, was honored at the EAA Aviation Center with a recreation of the Corsair. The museum refinished the gull-winged Chance-Vought F4U-U to appear just as it did in 1950 during Hudner's mission to rescue Jesse Brown on the day that earned him his commendation. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
