One of two private aircraft that launched from Apatity Airport near Murmansk in the Russian Federation with filed flight plans to Arkhangelsk was apparently mistaken for a drone and was fired upon on September 11. The airspace surrounding the Murmansk and Apatity airports had been closed under a temporary flight restriction (TFR) due to Ukrainian drone activity. The EAA recently expressed its concern about a new FAA policy that would limit Phase I testing operations. The order, 8130.2K, is expected to take effect on October 27. Order 8130.2K cuts down on the number of airports permitted for Phase I flight testing. Boeing workers have gone on strike. This follows their 94% vote to reject the manufacturer’s proposed contract on September 12. The 33,000-worker strike is expected to freeze Boeing’s operations at its Seattle hub and cause major turbulence to its supply chain. The manufacturer’s last strike, in 2008, lasted eight weeks and cost the company about $100 million in deferred revenue per day. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
