Ohio Congressman Michael Turner has sent a letter to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the National Aviation Hall of Fame as a result of receiving troubling information concerning the Hall of Fame finances.
Congressman Turner is exercising his oversight authority to investigate these allegations against the Congressionally Chartered organization. The letter said in part, “My office has received complaints of financial mismanagement and misappropriation of NAHF resources and assets. These issues appear to threaten the very viability of the NAHF to meet the basic purposes of the NAHF Congressional Charter and to sustain its Ohio Not-for-Profit status.” The Raytheon Company and Leonardo have decided not to jointly pursue the U.S. Air Force Advanced Pilot Training program, known as T-X. The decision was announced jointly in a news release issued by the two companies. The T-X program is intended to produce a high performance jet trainer that will replace the U.S. Air Force T-38 Talon trainer, which entered production in 1961. Here’s some good news for drone racing fans. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale Drone Racing World Cup 2017 is coming. A total of 15 events
have already been confirmed for the 2017 World Cup races. More races are expected to be announced, which includes competition in the United States. At each event, competitors participate in a series of races flying multi-rotor drone with at least three power-driven propellers and weighing no more than about 2.2 pounds. Drone racing competitions consist of successive races in which several radio controlled model aircraft fight it out to be the fastest around a pre-determined circuit.
