Takeoff Hold Lights (THL) The THL system is composed of in-pavement lighting in a double, longitudinal row of lights aligned either side of the runway centerline. The lights are focused toward the arrival end of the runway at the “line up and wait” point, and they extend for 1,500 feet in front of the holding aircraft. Illuminated red lights indicate to an aircraft in position for takeoff or rolling that it is unsafe to takeoff because the runway is occupied or about to be occupied by an aircraft or vehicle.

From 2024 (YouTube Edition): Model Debuts Alongside 160-Hp Rotax 916 iS In a recent partnership, CubCrafters and Rotax together unveiled their new and improved designs: the Carbon Cub UL powered by the 160 hp Rotax 916 iS. The aircraft quickly took the stage for its simplicity, stability, and exceptional performance. The Carbon Cub UL began as a method for CubCrafters to further invest in the somewhat untapped international market. It falls under European ultralight standards, weighing in at 860 lbs empty and having a maximum takeoff weight of 1320 lbs. Though it was initially aimed at overseas customers, the Carbon Cub UL has already become a massive worldwide hit. It is based primarily on CubCrafters’s vastly popular Carbon Cub SS model, which has consistently topped the chart for American light-sport sales.

Witness Observed The Airplane Enter A Descending Left Turn, Followed By A Brief Right Turn And A Slight Climb, Before It “Dropped Out Of The Sky.” On April 19, 2026, about 0834 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 401B, N122AT, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Land O’ Lakes, Florida. The commercial pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Witnesses reported hearing the airplane flying at a low altitude, which drew their attention. One witness reported that the airplane was flying low and that the engine power sounded as though it was decreasing. The witness observed the airplane enter a descending left turn, followed by a brief right turn and a slight climb, before it “dropped out of the sky.” The witness then observed a large fireball followed by a plume of smoke.

The restoration is taking place in a Salem aircraft hangar, where the B-17 Alliance is working on the Lacey Lady. The bomber was a fixture on McLoughlin Boulevard in Milwaukee for 67 years. Scott’s husband’s grandfather, Art Lacey, purchased the B-17 in 1947. It was a surplus plane left over following World War II. Lacey wanted to use it as a giant billboard for his Milwaukee gas station. The long-delayed replacement for Air Force One may be far from ready, but its temporary substitute nearly is. The former Qatari Boeing 747 has completed its modification and flight testing phase and is expected to enter service this summer. The aircraft remains in the shop for purely cosmetic updates. Wisk Aero has announced the successful first flight of its second Generation 6 aircraft. It is a milestone for Wisk’s flight-test program and scale, coming shortly after the first Gen 6 aircraft started its flight-test campaign in mid-December. Conducted at Wisk’s flight-test facility in Hollister, Calif., the flight included vertical takeoff, hover, and chirp maneuvers... All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!

There were no fatalities or injuries. The NTSB said the aircraft suffered a loss of power before crashing into the ocean. It was completely destroyed. No one was on board. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory and Northrop Grumman, has flown the XRQ-73, a hybrid-electric, unmanned experimental aircraft. The flight occurred at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. in April 226 as partof DARPA’s series hybrid electric propulsion aircraft demonstration (SHEPARD) program. The FAA has issued a proposed rule that would allow specific categories of critical infrastructure sites to apply for restrictions on drone operations around their facilities. The restrictions would be submitted and approved via a new FAA web portal. Approval will be based on safety or security criteria. Sixteen sectors would be eligible for restrictions, including energy production, transportation systems, chemical facilities, water treatment plants, and defense industrial complexes.

Pilot Reported That The Wind Speed At The Airport Had Increased Significantly Since His Departure About 1 Hour Earlier Analysis: The pilot reported that the wind speed at the airport had increased significantly since his departure about 1 hour earlier. He stated that at touchdown, an unexpected strong wind gust lifted the right wing, and the left wingtip contacted the runway. The airplane subsequently veered to the left and collided with an airport sign, which resulted in substantial damage to the engine mount.

Also: Spirit Pilot Honored, ATC is Ready, Crash Lawsuit, FAA Threatens Drone Fines The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association is locking down its upcoming Annual Meeting—and raising VERY serious questions about transparency in the process. According to rules released for the May 12th gathering, attendance will be limited strictly to verified members and proxies—effectively barring non-member journalists from the room. Those who do get inside won’t have much voice. Just 20 members will be allowed to speak… for two minutes each… on a first-come basis. The NTSB is investigating a Sunday afternoon incident in which dashcam video shows United Airlines 767 hitting a light pole and a tractor-trailer during its approach to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). All 221 passengers and 10 crew were unharmed as the aircraft landed safely and taxied to the gate. The Regional Airline Association (RAA) has expressed disappointment with the Department of Education’s decision, as part of its RISE rulemaking, not to increase federal student-loan caps for FAA-certified Part 141 flight-training programs by reclassifying them as graduate or professional programs. Effective July 1, 2026, this decision keeps flight training within standard undergraduate borrowing limits rather than elevating them to "professional"status, which would have allowed for higher loan caps.

Despite Our Reservations, Circumstances Change, and So Do Responsibilities. For many years, Aero-News Network made a conscious decision not to maintain membership in the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. That decision was neither casual nor impulsive. It reflected longstanding concerns about the direction, priorities, effectiveness, and transparency of an organization that once stood as the unquestioned giant of personal aviation advocacy in America. We have also had great concerns about their treatment of the IP and legacy of Bob Hoover and the Bob Hoover Legacy Foundation. At the same time, ANN has always believed that journalism works best at arm’s length. There are sound ethical reasons for reporters to avoid becoming members of the organizations they cover whenever possible. Membership can create perceived loyalties, blur independence, and complicate the public trust that credible journalism depends upon.

Also: Airventure Voted Tops, Banyan Promises No World Cup Fees, Spirit Parked, Drone Protection The U.S. Senate has unanimously passed the Maverick Act of 2026 to preserve the last three F-14 Tomcats for public display and educational purposes. Congressman Abraham Hamadeh (R-Ariz.) introduced the Maverick Act of 2026, a bipartisan bill to preserve the last three F-14 Tomcats. The legislation is a companion to a bill introduced in the U.S. Senate by Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.). The Maverick Act of 2026 creates a narrow exception to the post-retirement restrictions that have destroyed nearly all F-14s. New Bureau of Transportation Statistics data shows that US airlines spent just over $5 billion on fuel in March, giving the industry a painfully clear look at what the current fuel spike is actually costing it. More than 75,000 flights have already been cut from the summer schedule in response to the price surge… and it may only get worse from here. A New Hampshire FAA employee is on the federal stand after allegedly emailing a very obvious death threat to President Donald Trump. This appears to be the last step in a pattern that drew Secret Service attention months earlier. 35-year-old Dean DelleChiaie, from Nashua, New Hampshire, was charged with interstate communication of a threat after prosecutors saw an email he allegedly sent to the White House on April 21.

From 2022 (YouTube Edition): Still Life with Verve David Uhl was born into a family of engineers and artists—a backdrop conducive to his gleaning a keen appreciation for the form, function, and beauty of machines, and an intuitive understanding of the passions they inspire. Mr. Uhl purchased his first motorcycle in 1988, and his pencils, brushes, and artistic sensibilities hastened to document the arcane syncretisms of line, curve, and color by which the brute concomitantly aroused the intellectual and visceral ecstasies. In 1993 Uhl got about the business of producing numerous best-selling artworks for Harley-Davidson apparel. Five years on, he presented his first oil painting at Harley-Davidson’s Milwaukee headquarters and was summarily welcomed as the company’s first-ever licensed oil painter.

Zenith Aircraft Company is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its original STOL CH 701 "Sky Jeep"Design. Zenith Aircraft has been manufacturing SportPlanes in Mexico, Mo., since the early 1990s, operating in a niche corner of the market specializing in all-metal, high-wing and low-wing light sport airplanes that customers assemble themselves. The company traces its origins back to aeronautical engineer Chris Heintz, who began designing light aircraft in the 1970s. U.S. aviation fuel prices continued trending higher in April, with sustained increases nationwide as the war in Iran and ongoing instability in the Middle East continued to influence energy markets. National JET A full service averaged $8.05 in April, representing an increase of $0.41 (5.3%) compared to March. Excluding Alaska and Hawaii, Lower-48 JET A full service averaged $7.97, up $0.38 (5.0%) compared to March. The FAA was notified that a tail skid featuring a J-shaped, hook design manufactured by AirKit LLC under Part Number 16316, has been installed on FAA type-certificated Cessna 172s. This discovery was made following an incident on a Cessna 172 instructional flight in which the aircraft experienced a minor tail strike. During the strike, the tail-skid bracket bent backward and upward, penetrated the rudder’s bottom skin panel, and subsequently jammed the rudder.

“This change is years in the making, and it reflects exactly the kind of responsibility we owe to our members. Our union continues to have enviable advocacy, negotiations, and safety resources available for our members, and due to responsible financial planning and strong contracts, we are also running a sizable surplus.” Source: From a missive by ALPA President Jason Ambrosi, as American Airlines pilots may be heading toward another serious debate over whether to stay with their independent union or join the ALPA bandwagon. The numbers have seemed to switch back and forth as merger talks and reduced cuts sway workers.

Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) A TFR is a regulatory action issued by the FAA via the U.S. NOTAM System, under the authority of United States Code, Title 49. TFRs are issued within the sovereign airspace of the United States and its territories to restrict certain aircraft from operating within a defined area on a temporary basis to protect persons or property in the air or on the ground. While not all inclusive, TFRs may be issued for disaster or hazard situations such as: toxic gas leaks or spills, fumes from flammable agents, aircraft accident/incident sites, aviation or ground resources engaged in wildfire suppression, or aircraft relief activities following a disaster. TFRs may also be issued in support of VIP movements, for reasons of national security; or when determined necessary for the management of air traffic in the vicinity of aerial demonstrations or major sporting events. NAS users or other interested parties should contact a FSS for TFR information. Additionally, TFR information can be found in automated briefings, NOTAM publications, and on the internet at https://www.faa.gov. The FAA also distributes TFR information to aviation user groups for further dissemination.

The debut of the one-of-a-kind Boeing MQ-25A Stingray involved both Boeing and Navy air vehicle pilots remotely operating the aircraft. Joby Aviation has completed a week-long series of electric air taxi demonstration flights across one of its most promising US markets: New York City. This marked the first time point-to-point eVTOL operations have been conducted through the city’s existing heliport network. The campaign linked JFK with multiple Manhattan locations, including Downtown Skyport and sites along the East and West sides of Midtown. SpaceX has spent more than $15 billion developing its Starship megarocket and is pushing for a launch schedule that would make space access resemble an airline schedule rather than a government program, drawing on the company’s confidential pre-IPO prospectus. The figure quantifies, for the first time, the cumulative cost of the development program that underpins the more speculative two-thirds of SpaceX’s targeted $1.75 trillion IPO valuation.
