US President Donald Trump recently vowed to declassify all files related to legendary aviator Amelia Earhart, who disappeared in 1937 during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe. 

This development was requested by Kimberlyn King-Hinds, Representative for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, in July. Avionics provider uAvionix recently debuted a major software update to its AV-30-C multi-function panel display, designed as a drop-in digital replacement for legacy instruments. By popular demand, the instrument will now feature wind speed and direction capabilities, enhanced angle of attack indications, aural altitude alerts, and many other safety and usability improvements. Aviation consultant Kit Darby recently published his pilot demand forecast for the ‘big four’ airlines in the US. The “conservative” analysis expects American, Delta, Southwest, and United to take in 27,485 new pilots in the next five years. The breakdown gives United the gold medal for most aggressive hiring, with more than 8,300 pilots needed by 2030. Delta and American trail behind with about 6,100 and 6,500 hires, while Southwest comes in with more than 6,400. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
