Aviation Trivia of the Day  by JP Santiago
As the Vietnam War escalated in the 1960s and air crew losses began to mount to increasingly sophisticated air defenses, thoughts began to circulate in the USAF if there was a way to provide downed air crew with a better means of descent than just the winds and parachute. What if downed
aircrew could have a better choice in where to land? And better yet, what if they could fly away to friendly territory? The USAF began to discuss with aircraft manufacturers and designers if there wasn't a way to package an ultralight aircraft or glider into part of the ejection seat and cockpit that would give shot-down air crew more options on bail out. Proposals were issued to the industry in 1967 and Bensen Aircraft Corporation, a well-known builder of homebuilt autogyro aircraft, submitted an unpowered version of one of their autogyros to be used as an autogyro glider. Bensen's proposals easily won the USAF over and contracts were issued in 1968 ...

CAF tries to clear the air  - OA Online
MIDLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT Barry Diamond, moderator for Friday’s meeting at Commemorative Air Force headquarters, made it clear he wanted to keep discussion civil and moving.
For the most part, the tone was respectful, but it was hard for anyone to make a point at the nearly four-hour meeting without someone else making a counterpoint.
The meeting was called by Stephan Brown, the CAF’s chief executive officer, to address concerns of some of the national organization’s 9,000 members. Discussions within the CAF have been heated since a dispute over bylaws for the CAF Airpower Museum lead to the removal of two members of he CAF’s board, or General Staff, and ultimately a lawsuit that resulted in the resignations of seven members of the museum’s board. ...
