Editor's summary:
Yemenia Airways' Sunday flight from Yemen to Comoros will be the last for a while. The airline announced today that it is canceling the route where Flight 626 crashed this week.
Editor's summary:
North Korea fired at least 7 "Scud-type" ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan (East Sea) today. This incident is being described an apparent act of defiance against the U.S. by the communist regime because today (7/4) is America's Independence Day.
This is the second round of missile test-firings this week.
Editor's summary:
AviationWeek is reporting (link below) about an "unconventional" DARPA effort to study and design a Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) for the Navy, which requires fielding such a technology in order to "protect ships in the Pacific against a perceived threat from an exotic anti-ship system in development in China."
DARPA just awarded one of two LRASM contracts to Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. The anti-ship missile will have to mate with the Navy's already installed Vertical Launch System, according to the report.
Editor's summary:
The Kremlin is going to allow the United States to transport military supplies to Afghanistan via Russian territory. A Kremlin aide has told RIA Novosti the deal, which includes land and air transit, is to be signed by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and U.S. President Barack Obama next week when Obama visits Moscow.
Editor's summary:
The United States and Spain have entered into an agreement to formalize a pilot program which has been used to identify "high-risk" travelers bound for the U.S. from Madrid since February 2008.
DHS Secretary Napolitano signed the Declaration of Principles formalizing the so-called Immigration Advisory Program (IAP) on Wednesday (7/1).
According to DHS, during the pilot-phase, IAP Madrid has identified or prevented the travel of 402 improperly documented travelers, intercepted 23 persons with fraudulent documents, and stopped 10 terrorism-related suspects.
Editor's summary:
Accident investigators now say that Air France Flight 447 didn't break-up in midair, as previously speculated. Instead the plane hit the surface of the Atlantic Ocean "in the flying position", belly-first.
Meanwhile, investigators say the search for the airplane's two flight data recorders will continue until July 10.
Editor's summary:
North Korea test-fired four short-range missiles Thursday (7/2). Officials from the South Korean defense ministry told Yonhap News, the missiles appear to be surface-to-ship ones and were shot from Sinsang-ni on the country's east coast into the Sea of Japan (aka East Sea).
Editor's summary:
A mentally disturbed man allegedly took his close off and fought with the flight crew on a US Airways jet flying from Charlotte, N.C., to Los Angeles Tuesday night. The plane was diverted to Albuquerque where it landed safely. The man is in custody. Members of the man's family told the New York Daily News that he suffers from bipolar disorder, and obviously he had not been taking meds.
