Here is more detail about the sudden end of the SmartSky Networks airborne connectivity service. It seems to show that there weren't that many customers buying SmartSky systems, although no one knows (or will tell me) exactly how many were installed:

This is an amazing story about the cause of a fatal V-22 Osprey crash by @theaircurrent Elan Head and team. Excellent research and incredible detail. Well done!

Documents reviewed by The Air Current reveal a persistent manufacturing problem with implications that extend beyond the V-22 Osprey and across military and civil aviation.

It's always sad to see a key competitor drop out, so long SmartSky, it was a massive effort by an amazing team:

So sorry to highlight the ongoing problems @united but how is it possible that no one figured out that the two rear toilets won’t flush just as we were about to push back, and this airplane has been on the ground for at least 3 hours? Curious pax would love to know.

Dear @united we’ve been on this airplane flight 1504 at EWR for 4.5 hours. Well past the DOT domestic 3-hour limit. Why are we still here?

Yet another example of the utter uselessness of hangar foam fire-suppression systems, which have saved maybe a handful of aircraft and have actually killed people. They should be banned.

With inadvertant hangar foam system discharges on the rise, the aviation industry ponders if they reallly meet the purpose they were intended for.

Malfunctioning fire suppression system has led to the release of hundreds of gallons of fire-fighting foam at the Vermont National Guard base in South Burlington.

Some cool airplanes at the US Aircraft Expo @HillsboroAv at KHIO in Oregon this afternoon (and here tomorrow too, go visit). These are two I hope to fly soon, the @EpicAircraft E1000 GX high-performance turboprop (left) and the @pipistrelEU Panthera speedy piston single (right).

The innovations keep on coming from @ForeFlight, latest release shows potential wake turbulence for Pro Plus and higher subscribers. This is a fascinating use of ADS-B, winds aloft, and other data.
