Also: Tentative AirVenture Airshow Lineup, Supersonic Flight Regs, Private Pilot Oral Exam Guide, Boeing Deal

The sport aircraft business can be a tough one... especially when Mother Nature decides you need special attention -- and not in a good way. The folks at London-Corbin Airport's Kolb Aircraft reached out to ANN early yesterday to let us know that they were all safe and accounted for but that their manufacturing facility was pretty much wiped out. The final World War II flying boat has completed its tedious trek across Arizona, arriving in Tucson in preparation for its permanent home in the Pima Air and Space Museum. This aircraft, the Philippine Mars, was dismantled for transport after its last flight in February.

Airborne 05.14.25: ADS-B Privacy Bill, More Newark Woes, Hartzell Buys E-MAG

Also: National Space Council, IAG Orders, Joby Formation, MH17 Blame Placed 

A bill to limit frivolous use of ADS-B tracking data was signed into law by Montana Governor Greg Gianforte. This legislation battles the recent trend of US airports using ADS-B information to impose landing fees on general aviation planes. fter a ‘telecommunications issue’ with Philadelphia TRACON brought yet another string of delays, US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy shared plans to cut back flights into Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). The ground stop lasted for around 45 minutes. Flights at Newark Liberty International Airport will be reduced “for the next several weeks,” Duffy claimed... Hartzell Engine Tech acquired E-MAG, maker of aircraft electronic ignition systems that are lightweight, reliable, and provide longer engine lifespans, improved starting, and smooth idle.

Airborne 05.16.25: Mavic 4 Pro Launch, MH17 Blame, Cyclotech Maiden Flt

Also: Qatar Boeing Order, Bernie Sander's Carbon Footprint, Bell's 6,000th, 27th Air Force Secretary

DJI’s recent flagship drone announcement was slightly diminished by the decision to exclude US customers from the launch. Though the US and DJI have been on poor terms for years, many did not expect the drone manufacturer to willingly sacrifice such a large market. More than a decade after the accident occurred, the UN's aviation council ruled that Russia was responsible for the deaths of all 298 passengers and crew on board Malaysian Airlines Flight 17. ICAO will decide how the nation can right its wrongs. On July 17, 2014, Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 took off from Amsterdam with plans to land in Malaysia’s capital city, Kuala Lumpur. It was in cruise over a rural area in the Donetsk Oblast of Eastern Ukraine when a surface-to-air missile shot it down, killing 298 passengers and crew. Australia-based company CycloTech recently got it
