BRAVE NEW WORLD As many of us feel the ongoing effects of a depressed economy fueled by wary investors and uncertain global politics, it is also an ideal time to look at the potential changes that will help the General Aviation industry emerge as a stronger, even more innovative and competitive business entity. Future aircraft developments A number of ideas are being worked on for future aircraft developments. Some are new, some have been tried before but may prove more practicable with modern technology. Boeing KC-767 The Boeing KC-767 is an early 21st century military aerial refueling and strategic transport aircraft developed from the Boeing 767-200. F-16 Unit Salutes Tuskegee Airmen Gray went red last fall on the tail of one F-16 at the 187th wing, the Alabama Air National Guard unit at Dannelly Field in Montgomery. Aviation buffs will recognize the paint scheme as reminiscent of the aircraft flown by the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II.
