Diamond Aircraft’s PT6A-25C-powered DART-750 aerobatic trainer has made its first flight at the company’s Austrian headquarters.
The test-flight, which spanned thirty-minutes and covered all basic flight-maneuvers and performance and handling checks—was piloted by Diamond’s head of flight test Sören Pedersen and senior test pilot Niko Daroussis. Despite a fairly small number of "test flights," Virgin Galactic announced the date for its very first commercial spaceflight, planning on launching between June 27 and 30 of this year, with another mission on tap for early August. On 15 June 2023, Ryanair fired its chief pilot following an investigation into the latter’s alleged "pattern of repeated inappropriate and unacceptable behavior towards a number of female pilots.” Named in reports as Aidan Murray, the sacked individual has been with Ryanair for 28-years and was appointed the carrier’s chief pilot in 2020. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
