DeltaHawk published a short video of a recent test flight using a Van’s RV-14, giving builders and buyers a hint of what’s to come. The test flight looks promising so far, and DeltaHawk is excited to offer builders some cutting-edge tech to finish off their build. They gave a little peek behind the curtain with a recent YouTube clip showing their RV-14 testing. Boeing and GE Aerospace are taking a step out of the public eye after both of their tech went down in an Air India crash on June 12. Both companies cited a need to focus on investigating the accident, which left more than 240 people dead. The Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was scheduled to operate as AI 171 from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMB) to London Gatwick Airport (LGW). Bryan Bedford, President Trump’s nominee to head the FAA, has claimed for years in his official biography that he holds a commercial pilot rating… FAA records have revealed otherwise. Language describing Bedford as a commercial-rated pilot has appeared on Republic Airways’ website since at least 2010. At a 2019 event at Liberty University, he was introduced, without correction, as holding “commercial, multi-engine and instrument” ratings. He also described earning all of those during a union dispute. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
