Northrop Grumman Verifies Nazi Stealth Capabilities from AviationBull
There has been some buzz lately over the discovery and reconstruction of a Nazi aircraft called the Horten 229. This was one of the many impressive Nazi machines that wasn't developed until too late into the war to be fully fielded.

TSA may change LASP from http://www.ainonline.com/
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) appears to be taking seriously the 7,000-plus submitted comments opposing the proposed large aircraft security program (LASP) regulations. John Sammon, TSA assistant administrator for transportation sector network management, soothed attendees at the NATA Air Charter Summit last month when he said, "We rely to a large extent on NATA members for developing operational solutions. What we're trying to do is put things in place that work in the real world. Except for running checkpoints, TSA doesn't do security in the real world. You do it." The TSA's focus, he said, is on deploying security efforts that are "operation-ally feasible" and on working with NATA to solve security problems. ...
