Seriously.... If not for bad luck, Boeing would have no luck at all... and recent events prove it to the ‘max’ (Sorry.... Could resist). Once thought to be all but done, the massive and incredibly damaging Boeing worker’s strike is NOT OVER. The International Association of Machinists voted a solid 64% against the deal, as confirmed by the union late Wednesday. The 10th annual Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD) event, hosted by Women in Aviation International, reached record attendance numbers with over 33,000 worldwide participants. Members from 194 Women in Aviation International chapters organized and held their own GIAD event on September 21. 59 of these were overseas across 33 different countries, with the other 135 in the US and various US territories. Textron has confirmed that the Cessna Citation Ascend is progressing through its certification program and is expected to enter into service in 2025. To date, the Ascend program has two aircraft in the flight test phase, the Prototype and P1, which have compiled a total 600 hours of flight time in over 200 flights.
