A team of US Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bombers was responsible for a three-target airstrike in Iran on June 21.
The strikes, which hit several nuclear sites, marked the US’s first direct military involvement in the growing Iran-Israel conflict. The mission aimed to take out three nuclear-related targets, including Iran’s deeply-buried Fordow facility. The weapon of choice? The 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, justly known as the “bunker buster.” In case there was any lingering ambiguity, the FAA has now made it crystal clear: federally funded airports cannot restrict access to 100-octane low-lead avgas (100LL). Unless, of course, they’d rather violate federal law and potentially pay $5,000 per day in penalties. Landing Fee insanity almost strikes again.... In a move that surely disappointed no part of GA, the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) Board of Airport Commissioners voted on June 5 to postpone a decision on proposed landing fees at Van Nuys Airport (VNY). The proposed fee, $9.65 per 1,000 pounds, would have ranked among the highest in the country for general
aviation. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
