While a number of knee-jerk politicians are pointing fingers, the US Army Recruiting Command has issued a statement regarding its role in the April 20 false alarm that led to the evacuation of the Capitol.
The demonstration and airshow team was doing a regular performance for the Washington Nationals’ Military Appreciation Night crowd when the U.S. Capitol Police initiated procedures to evacuate Congressional buildings, mistakenly identifying the team's aircraft as a threat. CubCrafters will support the upcoming Alaska Airmen’s Association benefit with a raffle for a brand-new Carbon Cub FX-3 as the grand prize. The finished aircraft recently arrived in Alaska and has been readied for its new owner. The shiny, brand new 2022 Carbon Cub FX-3 awaits at the Association's Anchorage headquarters. N751AK was built as part of an educational experience for young members of the Airmen's NextGen Club, in conjunction with the CubCrafters amateur builder assist program. The crew behind Diamondo Earthrounding finished its mission to circle the globe, touching down at its starting point at Zurich Airport just in time to celebrate World Earth Day. The mission ultimately racked up 111 days enroute, stopping
at 75 destinations in 35 countries on 5 continents as it made the rounds at sustainable initiatives and green efforts around the world. The 2 pilots, Robin Wegner and Matthias Niederhauser, flew the whole way in their friend's rented Diamond DA50 RG. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
