Skyryse reservations for its Skyryse One First Edition helicopters have sold out in just six months. Early adopters received an exclusive introductory base price of $1.8 million but reservations are still being accepted with current pricing based on placement on the reservation list. The FAA has issued a new AD affecting Lycoming engine models with specific connecting rod assemblies. This was prompted by a series of reports of con rod failures that caused uncontained engine breakdowns and in-flight shutdowns (IFSDs). The directive mandates routine oil inspections to identify bronze metal particles, a potential indicator of connecting rod degradation. Nearly half a ton of cocaine was discovered aboard a Bolivian-registered aircraft that landed in Argentina near Rosario. The National Gendarmerie tracked the aircraft, a Cessna 206, using radar from Santa Fe’s northern region. The plane landed in a rural area near the towns of Luis Palacios and Andino in the San Lorenzo department, where it was abandoned with 480 kilograms (over 1,000 pounds) of cocaine onboard. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
