AOPA Annual Meeting Rules Raise Questions About Access and Transparency The timing couldn’t be worse. Or more telling. As the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association prepares for its May 12 Annual Meeting, it has released a set of “Rules of Conduct” that raise serious questions—not about order, but about openness. On paper, the rules sound routine. In practice, they create a tightly controlled environment where member participation is sharply limited and leadership authority is absolute. Only 20 members—out of an organization representing hundreds of thousands—will be allowed to speak. Each gets two minutes. That’s not a dialogue. That’s a pressure valve. The Chair retains unilateral authority over what business may be discussed, what may be added, and who may remain in the room. Combined with broad language about “disruption” and “derogatory” speech, this creates a mechanism where uncomfortable questions can be curtailed at will.

The Lower Right Landing Gear Weldment Failed On Landing Due To Fatigue Cracking Analysis: After landing, the pilot felt a violent tailwheel shimmy and the airplane veered left. He applied full right rudder and brakes, but the airplane continued to veer toward the left edge of the runway. The right main landing gear collapsed, followed by the left main landing gear, and the airplane departed the runway onto the grass. Postaccident examination found that both of the lower main landing gear weldments had fractured, in addition to the tailwheel attachment link.

From 2013 (YouTube Edition): A True 'First'-- An All-Electric SportPlane Kit Some time ago, GreenWing assumed the rights to the Flightstar line of ultralights a reputable SportPlane line that has been built and flow for decades. However; with the addition of electric propulsion, GWI's Yuneec 24kw system on the e280 eSpyder has received German DULV certification and opened up new markets to the fledgling SportPlane builder. The eSpyder, marketed at $39,900 for a turnkey unit, is estimated to have an operating cost of $1.60 per hour in electricity. The company claims that the eSpyder is the first all-electric ultralight to receive worldwide certification. The company flew two of the eSpyders during the Thursday air show at AirVenture in what was billed as the worlds first formation flight by a pair of electric-powered airplanes.

“There is no air force in the world that can do what the United States Air Force does. But in order to maintain this superiority, we need to make sure we are retaining our best aviators. Over the past decade, we’ve seen more and more mid-career pilots leave for better pay in the commercial airline industry or private sector. That’s why I’m joining my colleagues in introducing the bipartisan RETAIN Act and Fighter Aircrew Career Flexibility Act to help address these pilot shortages.” Source: Sen Kaine, commenting on a new bill, dubbed the Retention Enhancements for Tactical Aircrew Initiative, or RETAIN Act, would require the Air Force to pay maximum aviation incentive pay, increase retention bonuses up to $100,000, and allow airmen to transition indefinitely to non-combat aviation career paths.

“It is with a very heavy heart that we share some deeply difficult news regarding the future of WACO Aircraft Corporation, Centennial Aircraft Services and Dimor Group Inc. After exhausting every possible path to keep our operations running, ownership has made the painful decision to cease the aircraft production and maintenance services operations U.S. effective immediately.” Source: From the brutally worded notice posted on the WACO factory door, this week. It stated that operations for WACO Aircraft, Centennial Aircraft Services, and parent company Dimor Group Inc. would be ceasing immediately.

The move spares the aging but beloved close air-support aircraft, which has played an important role in Iran, from an earlier retirement deadline of 2026. Elixir Aircraft introduced the Elixir+ at the opening of AERO Friedrichshafen April 22, which introduces modifications designed to improve the flight trainer, alongside further modifications to make it more suitable for launch into the U.S. market later this year. The Elixir+ marks a new milestone in the development of the 4th generation aircraft, dual-certified by EASA and the FAA. Blue Origin has been forced to put flights of its New Glenn rocket on pause after a launch that mostly worked… up until it didn’t. The issue came during the upper stage portion of the mission, where the vehicle failed to push its payload into the intended orbit. The FAA quickly stepped in, classifying the event as a mishap and grounding the rocket until an investigation proves the rocket is ready to return to flight.

The French manufacturer has reached a commercial milestone for its range of next-generation light aircraft. Boeing projects that North America will require about 435,000 new aviation professionals and nearly $970 billion in aviation services through 2044 as the region’s fleet and traffic expand. Substantial growth for regional aviation training will be needed, along with maintenance, repair, and overhaul and digital services. These findings align with Boeing’s 2025 Pilot and Technician Outlook and 2025 Services Market Outlook. Greybird Aviation Group is standardizing its modern fleet with the purchase of 13 Tecnam aircraft to support its growing international cadet programs. The purchase at the AERO Friedrichshafen exhibition continues momentum for Tecnam sales, as Greybird officially signed a major fleet expansion agreement. The aircraft order is for 13 new aircraft, comprising 10 Tecnam P-Mentor single-engine trainers and three Tecnam P2006T NG twin-engine aircraft. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!

Paramount Pictures has finally confirmed that Top Gun 3 is in development, with a script apparently well underway and Tom Cruise ready to step back into his role as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. The official announcement was delivered at CinemaCon by Paramount leadership. It follows the massive success of Top Gun: Maverick, which pulled in $1.49 billion globally, won the Academy Award for Best Sound, and became Cruise’s highest-grossing film. The beloved unofficial kickoff to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is returning for the 28th time, with the AirVenture Cup Cross-Country Air Race set for takeoff on July 19. The expected route will fly pilots in a more than 400-mile cross-country loop starting in Wausau, Wisconsin, and ending just north of it in Merrill. Last year’s event had a great turnout, setting high expectations for the 2026 edition. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!

At the Battle Creek, Michigan, facility of Waco Aircraft, employees reportedly finished a normal workday—then received emails telling them not to return. Roughly 60 people were affected (from a previous high of nearly 140). Production, already limited to a handful of hand-built aircraft each year, appears to have halted outright, though completed aircraft are reported onsite as well as an extensive parts supply. So... silence. After nearly 5 months of buildup, Van’s Aircraft has officially opened its order book for the tail kit of its new RV-15. The tail kit, coming in at $9,000, includes all stabilizer and control surface components. It is currently listed with an estimated lead time of 16 weeks. Deliveries were originally expected to start a little earlier, but were pushed back due to some weather-related delays affecting final flight testing of the horizontal stabilizer. The French manufacturer Elixir Aircraft has announced plans for the first deliveries to the U.S. market of three aircraft to Florida and Arizona then with plans to show them at Oshkosh. The aircraft will go eventually to Cirrus Aviation, a Florida-based flight school and Elixir Aircraft’s first U.S. customer. An early partner, Cirrus Aviation placed its order in 2020, following the European certification of the Elixir. They have ordered 10 aircraft.

Also: FBO Waives Special-Events Fees, Heatwave Floats, Airbus Falling Profits, NYC Joby Demos A United Airlines pilot arriving in San Diego reported encountering a drone in the air as the plane approached the airport, according to airport tower audio. United Flight 1980 departed from San Francisco International Airport and flew roughly 90 minutes before landing at San Diego International. But as the Boeing 737 approached the airport in San Diego, the pilot reported to the tower that the plane had possibly hit a drone while flying at about 3,000 feet. OK... here we go again. Transportation Secretary Duffy floated the idea of charging a fee to help the FAA modernize its air traffic control system and pay for upgrades on a more regular basis, according to Bloomberg. “I would welcome an opportunity to think through, how could we have a small fee that went into allowing us to continually upgrade our systems,” Duffy said. The UK-wide tour of an iconic WW2 Spitfire is underway, marking the 90th anniversary of the legendary aircraft’s first flight in 1936. The aircraft is making nine flights around the UK as part of the commemorations to mark the milestone. Aircraft from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) are to take part in a commemorative tour honoring the iconic Supermarine Spitfire.

This is thanks to Flytrex’s new heavy-lift Sky2 drone, which is being launched in partnership with Little Caesars and can carry up to 8.8 pounds. That 8.8 pounds makes Sky2 able to handle two 16-inch pizzas, Crazy Bread, and drinks without needing to spread the order across multiple flights. A rock that NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover drilled and analyzed in 2020 includes the most diverse collection of organic molecules ever found on the Red Planet. Of the 21 carbon-containing molecules identified in the sample, seven were detected for the first time. Their discovery renewed confirmation that ancient Mars had the right chemistry to support life. A mountain rescue in the UK Lake District was set back after a drone pilot flew dangerously close to an active helicopter operation, leaving crews stuck in position during a critical airlift. While, luckily, the story had a relatively positive outcome, the continuous growth in unauthorized drone activity raises concerns about how long that luck will continue.

The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot reported that after he departed Great Falls International Airport (GTF), Great Falls, Montana, he intended to land on a private grass surface airstrip about 5.5 nautical miles to the southwest. While on the final approach to the grass airstrip, he applied right rudder pedal to enter a left wing low slip to perform a steep approach along with reducing the throttle to idle to minimize the airspeed.
