    Bill Anders, Apollo 8 astronaut, crashes in Puget Sound

    Having no interest in watching the man die, I didn't bother inspecting the specifics of the maneuver. Apollo 6, the second launch of a Saturn V with the S-1C, didn't "blow up." What are you referring to?

    Bill Anders, Apollo 8 astronaut, crashes in Puget Sound

    The Apollo 8 mission was a daring first manned full up test of the Saturn V with an S1C first stage. It was a magnificent success, and certainly Ander's photo was a gift to all mankind that will endure forever. Rest easy, General.

    KBNG Banning Airport authorized to close by FAA

    Film studios are happy to move in if they're given tax rebates. I won't be surprised if all parties mentioned are offered those freebies. Hillwood is a Texas developer that is owned by Ross Perot Jr. and other Perot family members.

    OSH - AIRCRAFT DOWN SOUTH OF ULTRALIGHT AREA

    Even though he can't remember the accident, the report will inform him that his cavalier violation of the pattern management rules resulted in the deaths of two innocent people. One hopes that fact upends his life.

    Challenger Jet down in Truckee CA 7/26/21

    The lack of SOPs and a complete absence of CRM from brake release at COE to the burned pine trees at TRK is stunning.

    Challenger Jet down in Truckee CA 7/26/21

    I have read those same comments denigrating the captain's lack of experience in the 605. Bombardier made this comment about the 600 series aircraft (which I'm sure you're aware of) in their Technical Memo that was appended to the Flight Performance Study: The wing design of the Challenger 605...
