    Skydive Drop Plane Down in Hawaii, Nine Dead

    It doesn't add up because: 1) The pilot recovered from the spin and landed the plane. 2) Flying Magazine screwed up.

    US Customs and Border Protection TFRs

    CBP just got 1 mile radius/1000 ft AGL TFRs over four of its facilities in Texas. Given the size of the TFRs, I think the only security they provide is against people trying to use drones to see what's going on. Makes one wonder what they are trying to hide. Unfortunately, this just shows...

    Virgin Galactic has entered space for the first time

    Apparently, not everyone saw the notams--I heard a Bonanza call Mojave Tower requesting to transition through their airspace. The tower asked if he was aware of the TFR. The response was "Ah, no."
