Captain Sully Sullenberger, the pilot who saved 155 people by safely landing an A320 in the Hudson River, has come forward with his thoughts on Trump’s pick to head the FAA: “We all deserve better.” 

The nominee has made some highly questionable comments regarding pilot experience requirements. The British Counter Terrorism Policing South East unit has charged four people following their arrest for trespassing into the RAF Brize Norton airbase and causing £7 million ($9.5 million) worth of damage to two military Airbus A330 MRTT multi-role Voyager aircraft. They were charged on July 2, 2025, with  conspiracy to enter a prohibited place knowingly for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or interests of the UK, and conspiracy to commit criminal damage. Retired American space shuttle Discovery has gotten tied into President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which was just signed into law. If the transfer is implemented, the shuttle will be relocated from its home in the Smithsonian’s Udvar-Hazy Center to Space Center Houston. The move stems from the Bring the Space Shuttle Home Act, introduced by Texas Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn and later folded into the broader Trump-endorsed bill. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
