Nineteen days after a British F-35B made an unscheduled landing at Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, the state-of-the-art aircraft remains grounded. With field repair attempts yet to succeed, the United Kingdom is now exploring the option of airlifting the jet aboard a C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft. According to a statement issued by the British High Commission last week, the emergency diversion was prompted by "adverse weather conditions," which prevented the aircraft from safely landing back on the carrier. The pilot safely landed the aircraft at Thiruvananthapuram on June 15. Since landing, however, the aircraft has developed what UK authorities have termed "an engineering issue" that has rendered it unable to fly.

Pilot of the helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River yesterday has been identified as 36-year-old Navy SEALs veteran Sean Johnson. Sean Johnson posted a video on his Facebook page on March 27, showing himself over Lower Manhattan in a Bell 206 helicopter. He had previously flown in Chicago, according to his profile. After his time in the U.S. Navy as a SEAL and gunner’s mate responsible for fixing equipment, Johnson took on a variety of jobs, including on a TV show and as a bodyguard for celebrities, his wife said. But through it all, Kathryn added, he “always wanted to fly.”
